WY W' 'ff .wir-gmgzfsga. Alpha Omega Alpha is a national medical scholastic honorary society. Since its inception at the University of Illinois in 1902 the society has grown to include chapters at virtually every accredited medical school in the United States and Canada. Membership at the University of Michigan consists of twenty seniors and fivejuniors. An annual banquet is held each year in honor of the new initiates. This year we were privileged to have Dr. james Shaw, Assistant Dean of the College of Literature and the Arts, as our guest speaker. The purpose of the society is to promote scholarship and research in the medical school. Toward this purpose a major activity has been the sponsorship and administration of the Student Research Forum. This event, held annually each spring affords an opportunity for students from all classes of the medical school to present results of their investigative efforts. This year we are again having monthly informal discussions at faculty members, homes with guest faculty from outside the medical school who discuss concepts outside the usual medical school realm with AOA's and a few invited medical faculty and house staff.

Victor Vaughan Society was ofhcially established in 1930. The Society sought to pay tribute to the Dean who had presided over the University of Michigan Medical School during its most significant period of growth. Dr. Vaughan was recognized both within and outside of the Ann Arbor medical community as an individual who was particularly interested in the historical, social, ethical and aesthetic aspects of medicine. It was the purpose of the Society ffto inculcate in the medical undergraduate student an interest in the history and philosophy of science and medicine, to uncover, encourage and cultivate literary abilityg to provide opportunity for the mutual association of men of similar apti- tudes and tastesg and to establish a tradition in tribute to the memory of him whose name it bearsf' The members of the Society are Senior students of the Medical School who have demonstrated a general interest in the history and philosophy of medicine and who have indicated a desire to participate in the types of activities sponsored by the society, The group meets at scheduled intervals in the homes of members of the medical faculty. Papers are presented by the students and are discussed, first by a faculty member who, because of his interest in the topic, has acted as an advisor to the presenting student, and then, by the entire group. Following the discussion, refreshments are served and an opportunity is afforded for considerable informal discussion and conversation among faculty members and students. It is the intention of the Victor Vaughan Society to encourage its members to explore the historical, philosophic and aesthetic aspects of medicine. The Society hopes that, through its efforts, the Ann Arbor medical community might also better understand, appreciate and enjoy its tradition. S. David Stulberg C695
