egh Guba $ ii ee: stare foe “ee te V Se 4 ig Every now and then, the sophomores and the juniors and the seniors have their respective lectures in the General Hospital amphitheatre. A great variety of ingenious devices are pro- vided to keep the night-ow! class members from getting into a somnolescent mood and tem- porarily losing consciousness. Fourteen and a half minutes after the lecture is scheduled to begin (and about the time the more ambitious members are scraping together their books and pencils and reaching for their coats) a briskly- stepping professor appears through the tunnel and drapes his dignified atmosphere within throwing distance of the amplifier microphone. He then announces (in a whisper, presumably to strain the ears of those present) that the reg- ular lecturer unfortunately sewed himself up in an operative wound and is unable to be there this morning; and that he (himself), although grossly unprepared, will extemporize as best MEDICAL I (eee he can. He then begins lecturing (as later proved by the note-taker’s notes) on last week’s subject. (This procedure serves to review past lectures and thus impress the subject on stu- dents’ minds.) Shortly after this, as heavy heads begin to droop on shoulders, a series of stimulating noises drift down from the library, in through the hallway, and in through the open windows (see excellent diagram above). These well- timed interventions, well rehearsed by the hospital attendants, serve much the same pur- pose as fire-crackers on the Fourth of July; namely, make the occasion one to be re- membered. The droopy-eyed sophomores and juniors and seniors have learned that amphitheatre lectures are no place for them—if they want to stay droopy-eyed.
