Traditionally great scenes of medicine have been made permanent in white marble columns, and we hope that these years of training and friendship can be made permanent in the pages which follow. It has been a sincere pleasure to prepare this yearbook of nineteen sixty-three: the first volume of THE FIFTH PYLON. Title Foreword Dedication Medical School History Faculty Seniors Underclassmen Social Organizations Sponsors Advertising i US MEMBERS OF THE WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1963: The traditional message of the Dean to the Graduates has always seemed to me a little redundant. Whatever medical school has meant to you, and what it will mean in the future, has already been deter- mined by your experiences of the past four years. Your every contact with a teacher, a patient, another student, or any member of the complex group which makes up a living medical center has had its effect upon what you are now and what you will be as a physician. As you pass from the status of undergraduate medical student to that of the graduate Doctor of Medi- cine, it is my fondest hope that you will cultivate the practice of looking upon every life experience as an opportunity for learning. The granting of a degree is truly a commencement. The decision is now yours, to a much greater extent than ever before possible, as to whether you consciously and diligently continue the pursuit of knowledge or whether you follow a less exacting course. In receiving the degree of Doctor of Medicine, you join a profession which is justly proud of its an- cient, continuing and ever-expanding, ever-changing stream of knowledge applicable to improving the lot of man. May each of you live your life with humility in the face of what is unknown, and practice your art with that diligence which will make those physicians who follow you strive to be truly your successors. u4 Dedication The year 1963 is symbolic for West Virginia residents. It is the year during which West Virginia celebrates its one-hundredth anniversary of state- hood, a year in which tribute is given those who have appreciably benefited the state by their serv- ice. For those of us associated with the medical profession, 1963 is doubly significant, for it is also representative of the era during which medical education in the state has grown to maturity. It is fitting, then, that we, the second graduating class of physicians at West Virginia University, dedicate this first edition of THE FIFTH PYLON to one who has been of significant benefit to the state by being an integral part of the growth and development of West Virginia medical education. Such a person is the Dean of the Medical School, Clark K. Sleeth, M.D. Dr. Sleeth was born, reared and received most of his education in West Virginia. After attaining AB and BS degrees from WVU, he joined the Physi- ology Department, being absent during the interim 1935-1938 while working toward an M.D. degree at the University of Chicago. Following graduation from medical school. Dr. Sleeth returned to WVU as a member of the Department of Pathology. During World War II he served in the Air Force and at the end of the war, he joined the Department of Medi- cine. In 1958, he was appointed Assistant to the Dean of the Medical School, and in January, 1961, he succeeded Edward J. Van Liere, M. D. , as Dean. To the state of West Virginia, Dr. Sleeth has been more than the Dean of their Medical School, as was attested to by the West Virginia Medical As- sociation when they awarded him their ' Presidential Citation, ' for devoted public service to his com- munity and State. To this graduating class, he has also been more than a Dean. He has been our teacher, advisor, and friend. We are therefore proud to dedicate this yearbook to Dr. Clark K. Sleeth. The History of the West Virginia University School of Medicine EDWARD J. VAN LIERE, M.S., M. D. , Ph. D. , Liu. D. , Dean Emeritus On February 3, 1867, the State Legislature created an Agricultural College of West Virginia. This institution opened its doors in September, 1868. The following year the name was changed to West Virginia Uni- versity. One year later, namely, in 1869, a distinguished Morgantown physician, Hugh Workman Brock, M. D. , taught a course in Anatomy, Physiology and Hygiene. Since that time, that is, for 94 years, there has always been at least one man on the faculty who held the M. D. degree. In the early nineties the medical classes were held in Woodburn Hall. From 1893-1904 dissection was done in a small building which rejoiced in the name of the Hick House. It was located in Falling Run just north of Woodburn Hall. In 1904, a building known as Fife Cottage was acquired and was occupied for 12 years. It stood where the University cafeteria now stands. In 1916, a three -story building was erected on Beechurst Avenue, opposite to where the Field House now stands, at a cost of $18, 000. It served a most useful purpose for 41 years although it became inadequate shortly after it was built. It was demolished in the summer of 1957. A two-year School of Medicine was formally organized in 1902. It remained a two-year school until 1960. Through- out the years many serious attempts were made by the University administration to create a four-year curriculum, but none of these was successful. On March 9, 1951, however, the State Legislature passed a bill (House Bill No. 477) which read in part: The Board of Governors is hereby authorized, and, as soon as funds shall be available for the purpose, is directed to establish and main- tain in the university a four-year school of medicine, dentistry and nursing . . . The development of a four-year medical school was favored by many citizens. It must always be remembered, how- ever, tha t the most active group was the West Virginia State Medical Association. Aid was given by other health groups, such as dentists, nurses, and pharmacists. Many lay groups, too, helped. At the time the enabling act was passed by the State Legislature, the population of the state was somewhat less than 2,000, 000. The Medical Center was developed on a 145 acre tract, and was financed by a tax on soft drinks, the so-called Pop tax. In essence, this amounts to a penny on each bottle of soft drink (soft drink syrups are also taxed). The first year the tax was in effect, it produced a revenue of $2,939,674. During the past several years, the net income from the tax has averaged about 3. 5 million dollars annually. „,--■ -« ' ' j H. ' ti K jj, i ' ;, - .-y lit, CPgf t B ' ., ... THE BASIC SCIENCE BUILDING OF WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, 1957 The Basic Science Building was completed in 1957 at a cost of $13,782,625 including fixed equipment. It was occupied on July 1, 1957, and classes were started in September of that year. The 522 bed-hospital was completed in 1960 at a cost of $15,897,777 which also included fixed equipment. It was opened for patients in August, 1960. When the school opened, about 150 beds were in use; the following year, it was increased to 250. Presently, approximately 300 beds are available. An outstanding clinical faculty was recruited, so that all major clinical departments save psychiatry, were represented by a full-time chairman and several members of his staff before September, 1960. The first class of third-year students, 16 in number, was enrolled in September, 1960, and the first class graduated in June, 1962. The School of Medicine has had three deans: John N. Simpson, M. D. , who served from 1902-1935; Edward J. Van Liere, Ph.D., M. D. , from 1935-1961; and Clark K. Sleeth, M. D. , who became dean on January 1, 1961. The citizens of the state are to be highly commended for establishing the Medical Center, one of the finest in the land. The development of such a facility is a costly project. It is believed that all the essentials for modern medical education and practice have been provided for the state. The Medical Center should be able to serve adequately the health and educational needs of the citizens of the state. DR. EDWARD G. STUART Assistant Dean A native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Dr. Stuart re- ceived a bachelor of science degree from the State Teachers College, West Chester, Pennsylvania, his master of arts de- gree from Temple University, his doctor of philosophy de- gree from the University of Pennsylvania, and his doctor of medicine degree from Duke University. He has instructed at Temple University and Drexel Institute, done post-doctoral work under a grant from the National Cancer Institute, and was a member of the Pathology Department of the University of Virginia. He also received training in neuropathology at the National Institute for Neurological Diseases and Blindness. Presently, Dr. Stuart is associate professor of Pathology and assistant dean of the Medical School, coming to this school in July, 1960. We would especially like to thank Dr. Stuart for serving as advisor to THE FIFTH PYLON. DR. KENNETH E. PENROD West Virginia University Vice-President Dr. Penrod, a native of Blanchester, Ohio, received the bachelor of science degree from Miami University of Ohio in 1938 and the doctor of philosophy degree from Iowa State University in 1942. During World War II, Dr. Penrod served with the Army Air Force in a research capacity as an aviation physiologist in the Northern Pacific and European theaters. After military service, he joined the Boston University School of Medicine and then Duke University School of Medicine as professor of physiology. At Duke, he was also assistant dean of the Medical School. He joined the West Virginia University School of Medicine in 1959 as professor of physiology and vice-president of the Medical Center. Dr. Penrod is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; he is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, among other honoraries. 10 The Basic Sciences II Gross Anatomy ROBERT J.

Senior Officers THOMAS MOUSER Vice-President REBECCA BAKER Secretary ROY STEVENS Treasurer GROVER TOMPKINS President The Class of Nineteen Hundred Sixty-three began its years of study in the nebulosity of a new medical center just drawing together its clinical faculty. While not the first to graduate, their class was the first of major size to step from the laboratories and lecture rooms of the basic sciences to the wards and clinics of the University Hospital. As such they learned to live with a continually varying program; flexibility became their password and friendships their strength. They learned from their professors, patients and colleagues the science and beauty of proper diagnosis and treatment and the tragedy of the reverse. Distance now separates this class and time undoubtedly will remove many even further; but all will remember the stimulating struggle of medical education and the culmination of a long cherished dream. THE EDITOR ' -m THOMAS A DURANT, M. D. On June 2nd, 1963, in the main auditorium of the Medical Center, members of the graduating class were invested with green hoods in recognition of their attain- ment of the degree. Doctor of Medicine. Dr. Thomas A. Durant, Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Temple University and President-Elect of the American College of Physicians addressed the graduat- ing class. He advised them to order their lives carefully so they could keep abreast of new developments and ad- monished them to be side-of-the-bedders not foot-of- the-bedders in their practice. Dr. Durant emphasized that the satisfaction of a job well done is the greatest personal gain in medicine. Pre-Commenc Inve JAMES E.

Ross 70 Class of 1962 The first Doctor of Medicine degrees of West Virginia University were given to the one woman and fourteen men pictured on these pages. At the pre-commencement exercises held in June, 1962, the vice-president of the medical center. Dr. Penrod, said, You have been in a very real sense an integral part of the original team. It seems now such a short time ago when you were anxiously inquiring whether the clinical staff and hospital would permit the offering of a third year of medicine by the fall of 1960. . . .There was reason for doubt. However, you demonstrated your faith. . . by making the decision to stay here and receive your clinical training. Dean Sleeth said to the graduates, Where was the West Virginia University Hospital when you enrolled as first-year students of medicine not quite four years ago? Or, two years ago, when you cast your lot to stay with the pioneer group in the new School here, where were the members of the clinical faculty you have come to know so well? Faith, the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, has been a daily factor in the life of each of you. This class had the unique experience of much personal instruction by the clinical faculty and significant ex- perience of patient responsibility, serving both as interns and senior medical students. We who follow them appreciate their faith in our school and are proud to include the Class of 1962 in our yearbook.

Certainly not as complex as an x-ray machine, a fully equipped operating room, or a modern pharmaceutical analysis laboratory. But appear- ances can be deceiving. Into this capsule went countless hours of research, the clinical investi- gation of thousands of patients by scores of physicians and-finally-painstaking manufactur- ing controls. And-with the help of this capsule- physicians are able to provide more effective care for their patients.
