The Student Council The Student Council is the principal channel for interchange of constructive ideas for im- provement of the school. It furnishes a fine opportunity for each class to become aware of the activities and problems of its brother classes. The Council often has members of four vear tenure who are con ersanl with school affairs of se en consecutive classes. A readilv available first-hand source of information is thus afforded. Perhaps of even greater importance, this con- linuitv provides a perspecti e which acts as a steadying force upon individual class policies. The membership consists of twelve students, nanielv. the Class President and two representa- tives from each of the respecti e school vears. All are chosen by the separate classes in annual elections. The President of the Council is a member of the Junior Class who has been elected by his class for that position. The Secretary is a member of the Freshman Class. A concrete manifestation of the close coopera- tion between students and faculty is the annual Student Council-Faculty Dinner held in the Spring. The Dean. Department Heads. Division Heads, and the Council members attend this function. Each class is invited to express class opinions as gathered in a survey of its individual students. They may take the form of praise or of constructive criticism. The facult in turn may reply to the specific suggestions if it so chooses. It is a source of pride to all present to see personal feelings submerged in a sincere effort to promote school welfare. It is felt that progressive and cooperative ventures such as these work best to achieve more efficient and harmonious medical education. Osteen, ! ataro. Leighton.

During the past few years there lia occurred at the University of Maryland School of Medi- cine an important shift in the relative emphasis of the various parts of the teaching program of the student ' s last two years — the sd-ialled clini- cal years. At last, instead of sitting for hours listening to lecture after lecture, the student spends the greater part of his day on the hospital wards and in the out-patient dispensary. Now, through the extensive facilities of the University Hospital, the student has been given the oppor- tunity to apply what he has struggled so hard to learn. W ith the close co-operation of the I ' niver- sity Hospital administration, resident staff, and visiting physicians, his clinical vears are truly spent in seeing patients, both ambulatory and bedridden. He must deal with patients and their idiosyncrasies, diseases in their rarely typical appearance, hospital routine with all its many facets aimed at better care. hat is it that makes the fund ling student become the self-assured physician secure in the knowletlge that he has received the best that medical education has to offer? Is it the understanding house staff stand- ing behind the student with a fricndK M r(l of encouragement? Could it be the full-time Uni- ersit staff with their pearls of wisdom ? The visiting men with their broad practical knowl- edge of disease? The wide variet of ])atient material available at the I iiixersitv Hcjspital? Nurses anxious to help in the everyday problems of care? Personal contact w ith patients and their troubles? To give a complete answer to that most significant of all questions would require a long dissertation on all the various ramifications of the education which we have been so fortu- nate to receive at the University of Maryland. But it is possible to summarize that answer in a very few words — an excellent hospital and its staff.
