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. The dis- section of the human body has known stormy (lavs in the last 400 vears, but we as freshmen Eduard Uhlenhuth. Ph.D., Professor of Anatomy and head of the department. After studying in Vienna, he came to Maryland in 1925 and has been active in teaching and re- search. He worked at the Rockefeller Institute and won the Van Meter Prize in 1936.

Ten thousand words are better than one picture. How many neurons are there in the CNS. FRAl K H. J. FiGGE, Ph.D., Professor of Anatomy has been on the faculty since 1929. He spends most of his time in research dealing with the cancer problem. In his teaching capacity he has been head of the Histology faculty since 1949. HISTOLOGY During our freshman year we were fortunate indeed to come in contact with Dr. Frank H. J. Figge and his staff who taught us not only his- tology and embryology but also how to critically analyze motion pictures. We were tutored in aspects of cellular structure, their relationships in the various organs and systems and their func- tions. The workings of the microscope were no longer strange to us. This question is a snap. 20
