Definition: Faculty is derived from the Latin facultas, meaning skill. The term ihfaculty member,, is probably not related to this. Some etymologists believe it is derived from Sanskrit, with the exact meaning lost in antiquity. Pathology: The gross pathology of a faculty member consists of the classical triad of hypertrophied tongue and pharyngeal musculature, an enlarged right middle finger, often with bony spurs, and hyperplasia of the cerebral cortex. In some cases, one may discern small hemorrhages into the thalamus. Clinical Picture: A faculty member presents no typical, clinical pic- ture. The most characteristic f indings are a pronounced verbal diarrhea, and a frequent, but variable, occurrence in hospitals. Many will be found wearing long, white coats, but frequently one may appear, like an apparition, in hideous, green pajamas and a stocking cap. Diagnosis: This is often extremely difficult, but, in the hospital, anyone who talks all the time should be regarded as a faculty member until proven otherwise. In doubtful cases, Mosley,s test is of great value. The result is positive when a violent outburst of temper occurs after a medical student makes sarcastic remarks to the person in question. ihA professor can never better distinguish himself in his work than by encouraging a clever pupil, for the true discoverers are among them, as comets among the stars?
