William Watt Graham Maclachlan, M.D., CM. since 1910, first in the Department of Pathology, and later in the Department of Medicine where for years he has headed the teaching at Mercy Hospital. Though busy with his own practice and research, he has never been too busy to teach and always has time for students. Saturday morning conferences are an inspiration; reflecting years of observation and expep ience and unaffected concern for the patient, they bespeak that quintessence so seldom mentioned — the ideals of medicine. In admiration for what they have done for Pitt, and gratitude for many hours generously given us and preceding decades of students, w e affectionately dedicate this volume to Dr. Davenport Hooker ' and Dr. W. W. G. Maclachlan 7]

Davkni ' okt Hcioker, Ph.D., Sc.D. Dedication Students in all schools remember certain tew of their teachers with the fondest recol- lections, men outstanding not only in erudition, but also in character, in unceasing service and unswerving loyalty, and most ot all, a consuming interest in their students. Such are our feelings toward Dr. Davenport Hooker and Dr. W. W. G. Maclachlan. Dr. Hooker, Head of the Department of Anatomy since 1919, is the student ' s iirst contact with Medi- cal School, and were it not for his genuine interest and sage counsel would be many stu- dents ' last contact. Helping all freshmen through the sea of troubles that besets them is his keenest satisfaction. An outstanding anatomist renowned tor researches in embryol- ogy, especially tet.il behavior, he is a stimulating teacher, .iiid h,is been one ol the prime factors in the expansion of the school. Dr. Maclachlan has been a t.icuity member 16)
