Frank H. J. Figge, A.B., PH.D. Professor of Ainitomy gram has been reduced to the bare minimum, but by virtue of advanced teaching methods, the staff has been able to familiarize the student with the intricacies of human morphology. During the Freshman course, the funda- mentals are stressed, emphasizing the struc- tural features of gross, microscopic, and neuroanatomy. Incorporated into this pro- gram are certain clinical aspects of anatomy with the assistance of the Departments of Surgery and Radiology. In the second year. Clinical Anatomy is taught by Dr. Otto C. Brantigan and his associates. Here the ap- proach is toward the surgical application of anatomy. Maryland is one of the few Medi- cal Schools where a student has the oppor- tunity to do two entire human dissections. Intergration of gross and microscopic anatomy, along with a thorough exposure to neuroanatomy, constitute the aim of this de- partment, ably headed by Professor Frank H. J. Figge. The time allotted for this pro- OH, DR. SAUNDERS, 111 take a leg and some cranberry sauce. i u .ui BUT DR. LEVEQUE, that cant be the lingual nerve down here.

The Department maintains an active pro- gram in basic and clinical investigation. Drs. Figge, Mack and McCafferty have been studying the possibilities for usage of porphyrins in cancer therapy. They have shown that these compounds are able to in- crease the sensitivity of certain tissues to radiation. Other projects include a study of the influence of adiposity and constitution on cancer susceptibility of obese mice; de- velopment of a leukemia vaccine; determi- nation of gamma globulin levels in the sera of leukemia-sensitive mice. Dr. V. E. Krahl, investigating the finer structures of the lung, has recently developed a method of inducing obstructive em- physema in the rat. Drs. G. J. M. Kuypers and W. J. H. Nauta have continued their THE REDD NUKKLEUS I ' LL GET ' EM on the Middle Ear joint studies of degeneration of the CNS neurones, utilizing the silver stain devised by Dr. Nauta, who maintains his active liaison between the Department and the Neuro- anatomy Center at Walter Reed. Dr. T. E. Leveque is expanding his studies of the hypothalamic-hypophyseal inter-relationships in neuro-endocrine function. It can readily be seen that this department is active in both teaching and research with emphasis on the dynamics of anatomy. The student reaps the benefit derived from such activity. 23
