REBIRTH OF A YEARBOOK Since tlic last Hipjidcratcm in 1946, v.i.st pl.iw li.ivc been made tcir tlic iiuimmvc- ment of Pittshur h McdiLinc. The phy.sical plant is growing; largo grants have created the School ot Public Health; the research program has attained international tame; hospitals and nurses homes are being .idded; and eventually there will be an entire new building for the Medical Sciiool. The teaching program is rapidly expanding; the Faculty is increasing its numbers of full-time men, including national figures; m.iny of the clinical teachers are in private practice, giving freely of their tune and skill: intcr-i.lcp.utment.il conferences arc becom- ing the rule; famous guest lecturers regularly address the profession; all the hospitals maintain up-to-d,ite libraries; and the Curriculum Committee is eager to receive .sugges- tions and revi.se the program to kee]i |i.icc with llic l.itcst ,ii.lv.inces. In this expanding program the students liave a definite obligation, this is to establish an csprits de corps based on positive actit)n and maintain an enthu.sia.stic interest in Pittsburgh Medicine. The Hippocratean is part of this program. Wc hope future classes will take up this b.inner. I IftS

ZETA PHI Zct;i Phi, Women ' s National Medic, il Fraternity was organized at Syracuse University in 1900 by Dr. Emma Clarke. Its symbols Light and Life were chosen since medicine deals with life and doctors can bring light to many homes. Theta, the Pitt chapter, was installed in May, 1928. At present, Theta chapter of Zeta Phi includes fourteen active medical school members and over one hundred alumni. Theta chapter became a member of the Interfraternity Council of the School of Medi ' cine in 1941 and has twice won the Council ' s Scholarship Plaque Award for the highest average grades of its members, The immediate purpose of Theta Chapter is to afford the women in medical school a social and educational society when they can meet. The highlights of the fraternity ' s social season are the annual pledge dinner held to honor freshman members; the initiation and banquet for sophomores and the farewell dinner in honor of seniors. Dr. Tryphena Humphrey is the faculty advisor of the fraternity. In 1952 an annual award was established to honor the student, male or female, who has shown outstanding perform. ince .ind i romisc during the junior and senior cleckships in Pediatrics. [ 167
