CLYMER Associate Professor of Surgery Professor of Surgery THE FACULTY see how he steadfastly pits his Wits against mankind's greatest killer, and realize that perhaps you aren't quite as sharp as you thought you Were. Dr. Lowe quietly unravels a snarl of rare syndromes, and makes the diag- nosis in a matter-of-fact manner that rivals the poise of Buddha. Then Dr. Bayley, on ward rounds, approaches a patient with a quiet, understanding smile of reassurance, and in a few well-chosen words obtains significant infor- mation that you've tried for hours to uncover. He dis- cusses the case, and quietly moves on to another bed to repeat the performance. It is then that you begin fully to realize that after all, you are NOT a Hdoctorf' that even though you MAY at a future date receive the right to place D. after your name, you, in your mind, will not assume that title until you are convinced that you are living the highest ideals that are-Medicine.

GRIDER PENICK Professor of Gynecology THE FACULTY when he isn't in class, or the clinic, or running a CBC and UA, the upperclassman may be found superiorly in- forming a group of freshmen that the next semester is the easy term and that if he'll just stay home two nights a week, his Worries are over-how true. Then, he experiences one of the greatest thrills a stu- dent of Medicine ever knows-some unknowing patient looks up at him, and calls him Doctor The pleasant surprise of suddenly realizing that someone is depending on you for help which he cannot supply for himself, leaves a glow of satisfaction that is not to be surpassed too many times in this life. But in the course of events the student has occasion to watch Dr. Wilkins remove a brain tumor, or see Dr. M, Campbell operate a utetralogyf' You absorb some of the enthusiasm that Dr. Patzer radiates- DR, R, D, ANSPAUGH DR.

The SE IUH CLASS Right: Calkins and Clements confer quietly, as the UU. A. Department functions compe- tently in the background. Scene-Senior Lab. Below: You'd think Clements was the only member of the senior class who's photogenic!! Miller concurs in the opinion. Scene, Surgery-Main Hospi- tal. tGreene, you're on page 51.1 Boat's loaded! Last go-rouncll The graduating class of 1947 is ma- triculated in its terminal semester. We'uns, that is. Following our junior year, the class received a six months' vacation incident to deceleration. The members worked on the V.D. survey, took hospital jobs, rested, traveled, etc., and were ready to return to school last fall. This year has been wonderful. Oh, if we were inclined, we could say that obviously the only reason that half of the class is now married fno offense, ladiesl is that it takes a full-time secre- tary to figure out the senior's schedule, and to get him to class on time. Or we might observe that this is the only hos- pital we know of where surgical spe- cialties means E.E.N.T., N.S., Plastic, and Post-polio. We could hint that we are a little disappointed when we see the yawning, empty wards, while every- one from a resident's mate 2C on up has an office. But we won't say those things. We'll say, rather, that we appreciate very much the instruction given us by each of the services. The staff men have given a great deal of their time to fur- ther our education, and we want them to know that we shall make sure that their time was not wasted.
