Till YEL li, 1943 BECAUSE three little men, physically and mentally warped and twisted, have sought the domination of the world, this year, 1943, finds the world behind the eight-ball of hatred and war. BECAUSE the decency and integrity of the human spirit have rebelled against such abasement and tyranny, this year, 1943, finds the peoples of the world aroused to do combat with an ever-increasing vigor and determination. BECAUSE the sinews of war are forged of steel and tempered with the blood and sweat of man, this year, 1943, finds men gleaning the waste places of the earth for steel and pouring out their blood and sweat in sacrificial streams. BECAUSE medicine must go on as life itself, this year, 1943, finds two classes in medicine at the University of Pennsyl- vania on the threshold of graduation, hence WE the classes of 1943, the first two such classes to graduate within the same year, have combined our class records into the single volume, the SCOPE for 1943. We, recognize our limitations in trying to chronicle so important a period in our lives and have stressed that single event which will most shape our lives in the years to follow, the War. We hope this volume will serve as a true, though, of necessity, limited history of our school years and will be a source of enjoyment in years to come.
