Freshman Class The class of 1956 is 103 stroiif; iiuludiiif; four niciiil)ers of the gentle sex. Although predominaiitK (■oni|)osc(l of Marv- landers, this number includes students from all |iarls of the I nited States and her possessions: from Maine to Puerto Kico and from the Atlantic to the sunny isle of Hawaii in the Pacific. The list of alma maters of the class members reads like a Who ' s Who of American (Colleges. Among those r ' |)rocMlc(l are Yale. Princeton. William and Mar . Mrown. and Washington and Lee. not to forget the fighting irislmuiri from Notre Dame or the stale college contingents from I lah and West Virginia.

On (he whole the I47th class of the meilical sclniol is oimger than its r ' c ' nt predecessors and the percentage of eterans and married men is consideraliU lower.

As for the marital situation, one of our nuMubcrs walked ihc aisle during the recent school vear and sexeral more ha c inadc plans for being married this Spring. The extra curricular aclix ities of the class lia e co ered a wide field of endeavor. There are few hospitals in the cit that do not boast of one of the class mendjers serving in one capacity or another. The class as a whole was an acti ( ' one. alwa s being well re|)re- sented at the school dances and and)ilious enough to present a Christmas dance in conjunction with the School of Nursing, and a Spring outing also. We hope to make these annual affairs. The class of 1956. although a higliK active one. is also a highly studious one and we are proud of our accoiTiplishments this vear. To Doctors Figge. Krahl.

ANATOMY Instruction in human anatomy began rather informally in 1789 with Dr. Andrew Wiesenthal ' s class of fifteen students. Since that time many illustrious names have appeared as head of the department. Dr. Eduard Uhlenhuth joined the staff of the University of Maryland in 1925 and became the head of the Department of Anatomy upon the retirement of Dr. Carl Davis in 1948. Today the department includes that of anatomy, histology and embryology. As Dr. Uhlenhuth ' s 25th Anniversity Class we feel especially proud to list ourselves with others of the medical profession who have been taught l) this most impressive of teachers.
