It is with a true sense of respect and appreciation that we, the Class of 1943, are privileged to dedicate this, our year-book, to Dr. Abraham Cantarow; scientist, physician, teacher, friend, and true Jeffersonian. A man whose scientific accomplishments we may all hope someday to achieve and whose character we might all aspire to reflect. A writer and teacher of fame, a deep thinker and one who modestly and sincerely takes to task the teaching of his art.
Only those who have had the priceless heritage of being his students may always reflect upon the treasured memories of Dr. Cantarow with warm affection and suprc me respect.
It is of ten a common indiscretion to elevate men of great ability onto lofty pedestals, and gaze up at them with the awe felt by the novice toward the accomplished. Yet if we consider the qualities beneath the surface of such men, they are frequently revealed as lovable as our most intimate friends. We realize this only when the final product has been achieved and we reflect upon the history of great men. There is a note of gentleness, of greatness, of individuality, attached to each and every act from childhood to adulthood, but deep in the shadows of the past there have always been ideals and influences which have guided them through life. Dr. Cantarow is most certainly a beacon light to every student he has taught.
His interest in the healing art and the perseverance with which he attended his studies and researches in this regard, were gifts for which he is indebted to his father Joseph, a physician who displayed an intense interest in the complexities of the human body. His maternal grandfather and two paternal uncles were likewise physicians.
Immediately after graduation from Hartford Public High School, Dr. Cantarow matriculated at Trinity College for one year. His next two years were spent at Tufts College. In 1920 he came to Jefferson Medical College where he was quickly recognized as being a credit to both the Institution and the student body. As a student he was modest, courteous, gentle and was said by his classmates to be brilliant even though he constantly cut class. In the yearbook for the Class of 1924 one finds somewhat of a eulogy; the prophecy was then made that someday he would be a "credit to the family of physi-cians to which he belongs and an honor to us, his fellows."
His scholastic record was such that his teachers and classmates regarded him as highly capable. While a student at Jefferson he was elected to A. 0. A., the New England Club, the Patterson Society, and was Class Historian.
Upon graduation he was selected Resident Chemist to the Jefferson Hospital. Following this he served as Resident Physician until 1927 and then as Research Fellow in the Department for Diseases of the Chest until 1929.
His interest in research was originally stimulated by work under Dr. P. B. Hawk and by association with Drs. Max Trumper and Henry Leffman. His association with Dr. Thomas McCrae and Dr. Hobart A. Hare gave further impetus to his interest in clinical medicine and its correlation with fundamental chemical and physical laws.
He began his teaching career in Physical Diagnosis at the Chest Department of the Jefferson Hospital in 1927. In 1930 he became assistant to Dr. H. W. Jones and taught in the Laboratory of Clinical Medicine later being placed in charge of teaching in this laboratory. He rose from Assistant Demonstrator in 1927 to Associate Professor of Medicine in 1939. He was appointed Biochemist to the Jefferson Hospital in 1932 and Assistant Physician to the Hospital in 1941.
During his stay at the Chest Department as Fellow, he began an investigation of the physiology of the parathyroid glands and mineral metabolism. This study was carried on during the subsequent few years.
The exactness and precision which have always been associated with Dr. Cantarow were again manifest in his contri-bution to the literature. As Roger Bacon once said, "Writing maketh an exact man." He has contributed over one hun-dred papers in physiological, pathological, and clinical journals, dealing chiefly with various aspects of inorganic metabo-lism, renal and hepatic physiology and pathology and the metabolism of steroid hormones.
During the past ten years Dr. Cantarow has contributed an annual review of advances in some phase of internal medi-cine or clinical biochemistry to the International Clinics. Other contributions are to: Piersol's "Cyclopedia of Medi-cine," Kolmer and Boerner's "Approved Laboratory Technique" and Duncan's "Diseases of Metabolism." He is author of a monograph, "Calcium Metabolism and Calcium Therapy" and co-author of "Clinical Biochemistry."
His researches and ability have merited him membership in the following societies: American Physiological Society, American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, American Association for the Advancement of Sci-ence, American Society for the Study of Internal Secretions, Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine, American Medical Association, Philadelphia County Medical Society, Pennsylvania State Medical Society, College of Physicians of Philadelphia, Philadelphia Physiological Society, Philadelphia Pathological Society and the Endocrine Society of Phila-delphia.
Dr. Cantarow's clinics and lectures are always stimulating and inspiring. He always speaks clearly and concisely. In presenting material he exhibits an enviable degree of precision and has the unusual ability of firmly combining the theoretical with the practical so that the chiasm between biochemistry and clinical medicine is no longer real. We are all indebted to him for having assembled the vast mass of complex physiological facts concerning renal and hepatic physi-ology into a concise and workable basis.
As to his personal qualities, well, we may only repeat the words of his classmates, "He's just right."

KE WORD
Our aim in producing this book is to review, through the medium of the present underclasses, our own four years spent here at Jefferson. To stabilize, upon the printed page, the thoughts, moods and the changing scenes we passed through on our way to our Medical degrees. To make this book the nidus about which reflective conversations may form in the years after we leave these scenes. A great many of these things we are leaving cannot be caught in pictures or words. The easy conversations about our cases that we indulged in over the dining tables; the prod of one of our classmates' knowledge of a condition; those dead-lines for the accumulation of facts that are listed as exam-inations; that feeling as we walked down the steps to take our place in the pit" for the first time; all these things make up our memories of Jefferson far more than the sweep of the staircase or the regular rows of seats in the lecture rooms. If, in our endeavor to capture intangibles, we seem to lack a true sense of comparative values or make light of professorial dignity please excuse us; for we believe our cause is just. This is our record of Jefferson Medical College from 1939 to 1943.

Versatility has been the keynote in the career of Dr. William Harvey Perkins, Dead:of Jeffer-son since 1941.
He was graduated from Jefferson in 1917 with a brilliant record in scholastics. In his senior year he found time to edit THE CLINIC. Until 1919 he served with the U. S. Army in foreign serv-ice, after which he went as a medical missionary to Siam. Dr. McRae called him back to Jefferson as an assistant in 1924; in 1925 he went abroad for further study, this time to London and Paris where he worked with the great Widal. Again to Siam in 1926, he was Professor of Medicine and director of a large number of clinics.
His work in Siam was of such high quality, especially in the field of Preventive Medicine and Public Health that it earned for him coveted membership in the Siamese Order of the White Ele-phant, also a Professor's position in Preventive Medicine at the Tulane University Medical School in 1930. He remained at this post, teaching, writing and lecturing until he was called back to Jef-ferson in 1941.
Dr. Perkins' course here was marked with philosophic and academic acumen. We received a background for the finest conception of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, which will be vitally important in the coming post-war years.
Dean Perkins possesses all the qualities of a mediator between faculty and students. In fact, he is a little "on our side." He is respected as a physician and executive, and to know him is to appreciate him the more.

"There is a long road ahead." This must have been the thought uppermost in the minds of most of us as we entered Daniel Baugh Institute of Anatomy for the first time back in September, 1939. The ghosts of former professors, teachers, and students made us feel timid and insignificant. We each felt that we had a place to make, a niche to carve, and that we were starting at scratch. Many a lad set his star high in those first few days. In a very brief time everyone became practical and set C-plus as the first val.
The first day we received a box of bones. This was fortunate for it gave us something tangible to look at, feel, and pick up. It made us feel like medical stu-dents. In addition to the brown box there was also advice from upperclassmen to know every fossa, promi-nence, and foramen on the human skeleton within two weeks. This was grim reality and work started. It was quite an adventure to read in Gray's Anatomy that ". . . the linea as era is . . a ridge . . . on the middle third of the bone," and then to find just such a ridge on the femurs which we held in our hands. Former students were inadvertently helpful in this respect. How often pencil marks led us to an obscure eminence or foramen. And how very often was the foramen spinosum found to be the size of a dime due to this same helpful probing on the part of our predecessors. (One particular lecture given at this time stands out. Not a few were so fascinated by the sight of the skeletons of lizards, turtles, and all sorts of mammals, not to mention the Macasus Rhe-sus, that little was done in the field of note-taking. This to our later regret.) Quiz sections started and Dr. Cherner was surprised to find that none of us had ever "built a house.'

Dr. Schaeffer impressed us at that initial lecture of his. This was the man whom all of us were to come to love and respect, and few of us to know. He con-founded us at that first discourse, and every one thereafter, yet under his tutelage we developed a concept of anatomy which would have been impossi-ble under the guidance of one less wise.

"There is a long road ahead." This must have been the thought uppermost in the minds of most of us as we entered Daniel Baugh Institute of Anatomy for the first time back in September, 1939. The ghosts of former professors, teachers, and students made us feel timid and insignificant. We each felt that we had a place to make, a niche to carve, and that we were starting at scratch. Many a lad set his star high in those first few days. In a very brief time everyone became practical and set C-plus as the firstgoal.
The first day we received a box of bones. This was fortunate for it gave us something tangible to look at, feel, and pick up. It made us feel like medical stu-dents. In addition to the brown box there was also advice from upperclassmen to know every fossa, promi-nence, and foramen on the human skeleton within two weeks. This was grim reality and work started. It was quite an adventure to read in Gray's Anatomy that ". . . the linea as era is . . . a ridge . . . on the middle third of the bone," and then to find just such a ridge on the femurs which we held in our hands. Former students were inadvertently helpful in this respect. How often pencil marks led us to an obscure eminence or foramen. And how very often was the foramen spinosum found to be the size of a dime due to this same helpful probing on the part of our predecessors. (One particular lecture given at this time stands out. Not a few were so fascinated by the sight of the skeletons of lizards, turtles, and all sorts of mammals, not to mention the Macasus Rhe-sus, that little was done in the field of note-taking. This to our later regret.) Quiz sections started and Dr. Cherner was surprised to find that none of us had ever "built a house.'
Dr. Schaeffer impressed us at that initial lecture of his. This was the man whom all of us were to come to love and respect, and few of us to know. He con-founded us at that first discourse, and every one thereafter, yet under his tutelage we developed a concept of anatomy which would have been impossi-ble under the guidance of one less wise.

acted stern, but we weren't sure; he seemed kindly but we took no liberties. We hoped and prayed all year that he would be gentle and fair with the red pencil. He was frequently gentle and always fair.
"Pits, pits, look for pits." With such an admoni-tion from Dr. Michels dissection was started. Several hundred aggregate hours were consumed that day carefully reflecting skin ("Pits, pits") and looking for the "lateral branch of the anterior cutaneous branch of the anterior division of the intercostal nerves." None of us could see the forest for the trees that first day. That incidentally was the day Michels started to show us how to distinguish nerves from carefully dis-sected strings of fascia. Later in the year scalpels and scissors quickly disappeared when the "bull" charged. However, we lived through it and thought we were beginning to learn anatomy. Quiz sections continued and Widing claimed that something or other "comes down and divides."
One of our favorite lecturers in the Freshman year was Dr. Bennett—"Deserrr-r-r-r-ribe for me—" Al-though his lectures were long and detailed, we always learned our lesson well when he held forth. During his discourses anatomy came to life, muscles became sources of power, and form took on function. The human hand became a prehensile organ of beauty, and the autochthonous muscles of the back a classified

nightmare. Dr. Bennett made us work hard—and like it. In Bennett's quiz section no one went to sleep, and everyone described the head of the humerus.
And so we studied and dissected our way through D. B. I. The word blue-book came to mean anathema. Christmas came and we went home. An occasional thought was given during the vacation to the last anatomy lab, which a few timid souls (there are some in every class) attended. No thought was given to study—or so we assured each other when classes resumed. Everyone crammed hard up to Mid-Years, and then boned harder. Old questions were read and reviewed until Jake couldn't possibly ask us anything we didn't know—but he always did. By this time we already knew the meaning of "blood, sweat, and tears." Dr. Moore tried to guess questions for us, and recited Cunningham cover to cover in his quiz section—"That's right, what else?'
The last few months went by faster than it takes to tell. The umbrella was opened and we took examina-tion after examination until it seemed there couldn't be any more—but there always were. Dr. Michels gave us a practical on a cadaver that must have been carefully dissected by a locomotive, and asked us to find the stellate ganglion—a few did.
Other things besides anatomy occupied our time that first year. One day a torrent of words brought
Lecturing?—an understatement
us to silence as we gathered in D. B. I. This was followed by Dr. Radasch. Here was the man from whom we were to learn bovine obstetrics, some phi-lately, and also considerable histology. Rad was a learned man, rich in experience, and in the lore of D. B. I. His lectures always started as he left his office down the hall and there was a scramble for pen and paper as the student being "passed up" was quickly disposed of. Occasionally he found himself at a loss for words, but at such times a strong tug at the green eye-shade always brought forth a fresh stream of histological facts. There was a hurdy-gurdy man who serenaded Rad's lectures. This man was supported so well by the students that Radasch fre-quently grieved the man with the "music" made more money than he did himself. Thus we received the grounding for our work in the histological laboratory.
In the lab we looked at slides, hundreds of slides. We saw how to distinguish the canine from the human oesophagus; and learned incidentally not to be fooled by some of Dr. Ramsey's tricks—a spleen sur-rounded by a trachea turned inside out is a startling sight when viewed under a microscope.
To say that Dr. Ramsay lectured is an understate-ment, he really taught us embryology. The mysteries of this science were made simple by his beautiful sketches and diagrams. We always copied these diagrams, and frequently nothing else so that they were shortly meaningless to us. Due in large measure to Ramsay s efforts we learned the fundamentals and a little more of anatomy through a microscope. And thanks to the compend, most of us passed the course.
So we learned our anatomy, gradually beginning to see both the forest and the trees, and this dug the

NEUROANATOMY
After three months' vacation and re-exams we started Neuroanatomy. The juniors in all goodwill informed us that this was quite an impossible sub-ject. After Jake's first lecture we were sure they meant to say "impassable." It was at this time that we were introduced to the mysteries of the spinal fluid. Before long we decided that this same spinal fluid was undoubtedly a dialysate, but most probably a transudate. More profound thinkers than we are welcome to the discussion at this juncture.
Soon we came to dread that black book which Jake always carried with him, and that fearful pointer which stabbed hither and yon around the room to come to rest in the direction of some poor unfortunate. How proud was he who heard his voice give the an-swer when his cerebration had temporarily failed. However, soon Dr. Schaeffer would smile, tension would relax, and we all promised ourselves never again to become aphasic at the stab of a pointer.
The lab work in this course was pleasant and inter-esting. Everyone thought he had done a good day's work simply identifying all the various sulci and gyri of the cerebrum. We were all chagrined to find that surface topography of the brain was only the begin-ning. Very abruptly we were in the middle of the

brain, with new horizons being unveiled to us at each stroke of the knife. Our instructors answered many questions on those afternoons—"I know it so well I can't explain it." We began to understand the com-ponents of the cranial nerves and a few of the more erudite spoke of special somatic efferent fibres as though understanding them fully. This was academic to most of us.
With the aid of Dr. Lipshutz ("Gentlemen I can't draw") the haze ceased to be so dense. Toward the end of the year a few thought that neuroanatomy could be mastered, but that they would not live long enough to do it.
APPLIED ANATOMY
Applied Anatomy is the gentlemen's course. Imper-turbable, mellow Dr. Bonney helped us review our Freshman anatomy and make it fluid to meet the demands of modern surgery. Raw knowledge flavored with the tang of judgment and the nectar of wisdom made Bonney's course a delightful eye-opener on Tuesday mornings. (Moreover, the lectures started at ten minutes past nine.)
We were now Juniors and could sleep in class and take notes simultaneously. Bonney frequently brought us back to this world with " . . and I have been known to ask that in an examination."

With Dr. De Carlo's help we found the required structures and tied them with strings so that we could find them again.

A description of our thoughts and experiences throughout the course of Bacteriology is practically a cross-section of our labors and fears of the freshman year. Reminiscence of our course with Dr. Rosen-berger and Dr. Kreidler grows even warmer with our depth of understanding and recall. Whether or not our lives be long and full, "Rosy," in particular, will never be forgotten. And when some of us can rest back and spin tales to our sons of, "when I was a Medical Student," our offspring will indeed be steeped in the tradition of a Study, an individual, known to scores of classes of Jeffersonians.
During the first lecture or two, we were to note for ourselves (and later to learn from graduates, young and old) of Dr. Rosenberger's memory of the names and faces of his former students—and probably marks also. We also early began to gather Bacteriologic gems—and bits of humor of a very dignified type. Although some few may forget the cultural characteristics of the organism of Malta Fever, none should forget the eti-ology of a "Pin Abscess"—or the incident concerning a young man, a young lady, and a Phrenologist in which the "Coin Test" played an important part. Neither will one forget tall, spare Dr. Kreidler and his Bancroftian presentation of antibodies, complement, etc. It is also to be recalled that Therapeutics entered the course early in the form of Calomel Ointment, and prescribed for "A Friend."
After our learning of microorganisms had a fair start, Dr. Rosenberger was privileged to have us in "confer-ence"—or, rather, oral quiz sessions. During these informal gatherings our Professor was able to acquire from the students an amazing store of knowledge to

MACROSCOPIC PICTURE OF THE DEPART-MENT OF PATHOLOGY
Excellent, systematized schema of teaching:
A. Lectures: Professor Moon's fluent word and splendid diagram -
matic presentation of gross and microscopic changes in diseased organs; discussion of the resultant patho-logical physiology, enlightening discussions of the re-sultant clinical signs and symptoms. These discus-sions are given as an introduction to the laboratory studies.
Each lecture given with gentlemanly savoir faire; splendid vocabulary; excellent diction. Spontaneous

expression of delightful humor. "Shocking," thought-provoking statements—"It is always a mistake not to doubt, unless the evidence compels belief."
B. Laboratory Study and Conferences: Students armamentarium: stained sections of tissue
for microscopic study of histo-pathology; an abbre-viated clinical case history accompanying each tissue section; knowledge obtained from Dr. Moon's lectures and from collateral reading—with this armamentarium the student describes "exactly what he sees on the slide," interprets the findings, and makes a diagnosis. The day's study completed, Doctor Lieber or Doctor McGrew conducts a seminar. The student's opinion is respected; errors are corrected. "Golden bricks" are analyzed.
Friendly conferences are held once a week. This gives the student an opportunity to have problems, encountered in his study, presented to a member of the department for solution.
C. Gross Pathology—Post-Mortem Examinations: Dr. Morgan's inimitable presentation of his treas-
ured pathological specimens. Repetition of detailed description makes an indelible picture of diseased organs in the student's mind.
Dignified, careful exploration of the dead body in the search of the "why-'' of cessation of life. Review-ing for the student anatomy, normal physiology, pathological physiology, clinical manifestations.

MACROSCOPIC PICTURE OF THE DEPART-MENT OF PATHOLOGY
Excellent, systematized schema of teaching:
A. Lectures: Professor Moon's fluent word and splendid diagram -
matic presentation of gross and microscopic changes in diseased organs; discussion of the resultant patho-logical physiology, enlightening discussions of the re-sultant clinical signs and symptoms. These discus. sions are given as an introduction to the laboratory studies.
Each lecture given with gentlemanly savoir faire; splendid vocabulary; excellent diction. Spontaneous

expression of delightful humor. "Shocking," thought-provoking statements—"It is always a mistake not to doubt, unless the evidence compels belief."
B. Laboratory Study and Conferences: Students armamentarium: stained sections of tissue
for microscopic study of histo-pathology; an abbre-viated clinical case history accompanying each tissue section; knowledge obtained from Dr. Moon's lectures and from collateral reading—with this armamentarium the student describes "exactly what he sees on the slide," interprets the findings, and makes a diagnosis. The day's study completed, Doctor Lieber or Doctor McGrew conducts a seminar. The student's opinion is respected; errors are corrected. "Golden bricks" are analyzed.
Friendly conferences are held once a week. This gives the student an opportunity to have problems, encountered in his study, presented to a member of the department for solution.
C. Gross Pathology—Post-Mortem Examinations: Dr. Morgan's inimitable presentation of his treas-
ured pathological specimens. Repetition of detailed description makes an indelible picture of diseased organs in the student's mind.
Dignified, careful exploration of the dead body in the search of the "why'' of cessation of life. Review-ing for the student anatomy, normal physiology, pathological physiology, clinical manifestations.

Even as this notation is read for the first time, many painfully acquired Pharmacological facts will have been forgotten. (What is the dose and method of administration of Hirudo medicinalis?) But there shall always remain with us in our every day of medi-cal practice the fundamentals of drugs which Dr. Gruber, Dr. Haury, Dr. Drake, and Dr. Hart taught.
The first lecture, although mild (at most, only about three volumes were minutely covered) was the prelude to Pharmacy Laboratory. The poor old U. S. P. XI was covered from Acacia to Zingiber. Capsules we filled with sweaty hands and tablet triturates we made with prayer. Each day, the Emulsum Olei Morrhuae (which always cracked!) was quickly shaken just before inspection. Some of the Syrupus became a home for mold—which failure may be spared later classes by present sugar rationing. Memories over sampling "home made" Liquor Magnesii Citratis may long give one an uncertain feeling.
But all Laboratory work was not to be confined to the ancient art of the Mortar and Pestle. The time came when we were "graduated" to more scientific investigations. Digitalis was still standardized by the Frog Method—and we did it, to the dismay of an enormous number of frogs and no little professorial chagrin. However, practice aided our scientific tech-nic so that we were better at measuring the rate of flow of canine urine and the recording of uterine con-tractions. (In our time, we did not canalize single kidney tubules but perhaps we were crude.)
Laboratory work was supplemented by lectures and recitations. Every prescription we ever write will have had its origin in those sessions. It was here that we

became doubly acquainted with the U. S. P. and N. F. Occasionally Syrupus Ipecacuanhae was pre-scribed as a palatable vehicle, and the dose of Oleum Tiglii given as one fluidounce but these matters later became clear. (Of course, the use of Oleum Ricini as a cough remedy is not so irrational.) The doses were eventually correctly learned, frequently with the little deck of cards of drugs and doses. (Some will have to be relearned, too, as Morphine Sulfate is now gr N in U. S. P. XII.)
Lectures were nearly always difficult, and early in the course many students mistook investigators' names for drugs—and dates for doses. This, of course, may sound drab but interest was frequently stimu-lated by unannounced quizzes. (By having "sprung" quizzes, students could always go to class free of worry over a written examination.) These lectures were frequently dramatic in their vivid illustrations. Who will forget the odor of Asafoetida, the shape of the Ordeal Bean, or the dangers of Nicotine?
Indeed, we had many pleasant times and many worries in Pharmacology. In return for work we re-ceived a basis for thinking so as to have a rational basis for our Therapeutics. To our teachers Dr. Gru-ber, Dr. Haury, Dr. Drake, and Dr. Hart we express our appreciation for their efforts in initiating our background in an old and dignified branch of our profession—the knowledge of the value and use of drugs.

It was the fall of 1940 when the Class of 1943 suf-fered from its first exposure to the wonders of medi-cal physiology (or the Physiological Basis of Medical Practice if you prefer the more recent nomenclature). When we say "suffered" the term is not used entirely in jest, for we well recall a sinking feeling in the pit of the stomach when we opened our laboratory lock-ers on the fourth floor of J. M. C." There, staring us in the face, was the weirdest array of gadgets ever packed into such a limited space. As time passed we learned (by trial and error, of course) to use these many contraptions; even got to the point where we could set up rheostats, condensers, etc., in series or parallel to produce anodal or cathodal currents at intervals of "x" seconds for the stimulation of a froggy's gastrocnemius muscle. And that isn't all—we could carefully maneuver a kymograph into posi-tion for a beautiful recording of the resulting contrac-tions.
Well, so much for the laboratory, except for those carefully prepared notebooks—has anyone forgotten them? Now let us turn to the lectures, where a debate at once arises. What were they trying to teach us every Monday afternoon from 2:00 to 3:00 P. M.? Many a paper airplane was fashioned in that hour, and many are the students who have marveled at the ambidextrous art of a certain professor, but is there anyone who can interpret an EKG?
The lectures of Dr. Thomas deserve a separate para-graph. Here we learned most of the physiology that remains with us today, and here we heard more good stories than we have been able to glean from any other single source. Yes, we shall long recall the teacher-humorist-humanitarian, Dr. Thomas. Along with the wonders of renal function, we heard a sincere man express his political and philosophical views; some of us agreed, some did not, but all listened with respect.
This discussion would not be complete if the demon-strations on Saturday morning were not mentioned. Here we saw dogs and other animals "hacked-up," and hooked up to various apparati, as only the mem-bers of the department under discussion could do the job. Of course many of the animals were sacrificed (for the advancement of science, and the benefit of the sleepy students), but believe it or not some of these animals lived to see another day. Attendance was pretty good at these affairs for two reasons: (1) Medical students still go for "gore" when they're sophomores; (2) None of us was ever sure whether Dr.
J. EARL THOMAS
Tuttle was sleeping or taking the roll at his seat in the rear of the class.
And then there was Dr. Crider's quiz section, where no student was ever wrong as long as he could remember to say 'crease. In physiology the answer is always increase or decrease, but 'crease is enough for Dr. Crider.
In all seriousness we must finally turn from this joking, and take off our hats to the physiology depart-ment. The course was certainly presented in thor-ough fashion, and the good humor that went with the facts made the latter easier to grasp.

The evolution of a Jefferson man is this: he grinds the first year, relaxes the second, and pret"nds clinical wisdom in the third and fourth. Dermatology, or "diseases of the skin" if you're explaining the subject to a cousin .twice removed, is a junior subject and, being a clinical one, helps initiate the silent phrase: "You're nearly a doctor, the shingle's nearly out." But, I'll lay my cards face up, be caught with panta-loons down. I liked dermatology, at Jefferson. And may a case of psoriasis be cured if my words are false.
Let's begin excoriating with the Friday two-to-three lectures. This was their plan: on the board a listing of diseases to be considered, in the air relentless, pre-cise recital of their characteristics interspersed with the inevitable prescription given speedier than the time it takes to spell the word wart. Then, to an assistant, "Put that prescription on the board, doc-tor." Frankly, it was written on the board; it was soon rubbed off the board; and was therefore rarely in our notes. "Don't worry, you'll get that prescrip-tion later." Quote—should have happened to me—unquote. After the prescriptions for (1) the blonde and (2) the brunette were distinct in Dr. Knowles' mind, indistinct in the students' because sex had reared its ugly head; the lights went out, tuber ischii slid forward and complete lid ptosis followed. Imme-diately, on the screen in front, our hero Frank Pus-tule and heroine Effie Dermophytosis cavorted in colors. Finally, with inspection number eighty-one the professor's watch was quietly envested and the hour ended.

M. E. REHFUSS
A FOUR-YEAR PERSPECTIVE OF MEDICINE
It seems like yesterday, that we who are leaving the portals of this institution walked with quivering steps up to the anatomy quizzing room, praying that a question wouldn't arise that we had forgotten to look up. It is so easy to recall that slow tread up the stairs at D. B. I.; every student laden down with different colored pencils: and that pale, disheveled look about him—so characteristic of a heavy date with Morris or Gray's textbook.
Oh! if only the students' glycosuria before these examinations could have been collected and refined—we wouldn't have need for a sugar rationing.
And now on looking back; it wasn't the fear of the examination so much, as it was the deepest respect which we had for the anatomy department, and what they were teaching us, and the realization that the pride of our work seemed at stake.
Medicine at this time was far away from us—in fact, if we were asked what an atypical typical pneu-monia was, I'm sure the questioner would be consid-ered a stutterer. However we could all feel the influ-ence of the ground work; and there was just something about it all that made us feel what we are learning is the most important subject of all. In the next three years this had been proven time and time again.
Chemistry and Bacteriology gave us the feeling that we were dealing more on the clinical side of things, although completely laboratory work. We were made to understand in lectures how all this mental confu-sion we were going through tied up with human beings. I hesitate to ask Dr. "Rosie" what he would think of us now diagnosing GC by a methylene blue stain; for I'm sure the proverbial "kick in the pants" would soon follow. However, the things we have ob-
tained through his tutorage will be long important to us, and his pleasurable presentation of didactic lec-tures aided so much in adding to our interest in medi-cine at that time, that his correct methods of labora-tory technique shall remain with us.
There is no professor in the college who takes more of an interest in the welfare of the student than does Dr. "Uncle George" Bancroft; and there isn't a stu-dent who hasn't felt the iron hand of his examinations. To say two c.c.'s instead of millileters was a sacri-lege; and for many months following the termination of his course—nightmares of structural formulas and equations persisted. To have that feeling of the "bot-tom dropping out of something" is not only a saying—it's a fact. The realization of it was encountered in a little episode where many of us had studied the sub-jects and equations from his lectures, then to walk into his examination room and find the whole quiz to be on laboratory work alone! Those days shall not be forgotten. Remember the lantern slide? Where we were shown the Indians rushing the horses into the stream, so that the shock of the electric eels would be used up, thus enabling the men to ford the stream without any danger.

A FOUR-YEAR PERSPECTIVE OF MEDICINE
It seems like yesterday, that we who are leaving the portals of this institution walked with quivering steps up to the anatomy quizzing room, praying that a question wouldn't arise that we had forgotten to look up. It is so easy to recall that slow tread up the stairs at D. B. I.; every student laden down with different colored pencils: and that pale, disheveled look about him—so characteristic of a heavy date with Morris or Gray's textbook.
Oh! if only the students' glycosuria before these examinations could have been collected and refined—we wouldn't have need for a sugar rationing.
And now on looking back; it wasn't the fear of the examination so much, as it was the deepest respect which we had for the anatomy department, and what they were teaching us, and the realization that the pride of our work seemed at stake.
Medicine at this time was far away from us—in fact, if we were asked what an atypical typical pneu-monia was, I'm sure the questioner would be consid-ered a stutterer. However we could all feel the influ-ence of the ground work; and there was just something about it all that made us feel what we are learning is the most important subject of all. In the next three years this had been proven time and time again.
Chemistry and Bacteriology gave us the feeling that we were dealing more on the clinical side of things, although completely laboratory work. We were made to understand in lectures how all this mental confu-sion we were going through tied up with human beings. I hesitate to ask Dr. "Rosie" what he would think of us now diagnosing GC by a methylene blue stain; for I'm sure the proverbial "kick in the pants" would soon follow. However, the things we have ob-
tained through his tutorage will be long important to us, and his pleasurable presentation of didactic lec-tures aided so much in adding to our interest in medi-cine at that time, that his correct methods of labora-tory technique shall remain with us.
There is no professor in the college who takes more of an interest in the welfare of the student than does Dr. "Uncle George" Bancroft; and there isn't a stu-dent who hasn't felt the iron hand of his examinations. To say two c.c.'s instead of millileters was a sacri-lege; and for many months following the termination of his course—nightmares of structural formulas and equations persisted. To have that feeling of the "bot-tom dropping out of something" is not only a saying—it's a fact. The realization of it was encountered in a little episode where many of us had studied the sub-jects and equations from his lectures, then to walk into his examination room and find the whole quiz to be on laboratory work alone! Those days shall not be forgotten. Remember the lantern slide? Where we were shown the Indians rushing the horses into the stream, so that the shock of the electric eels would be used up, thus enabling the men to ford the stream without any danger. Seemingly enough, all these incidents have added to our knowledge; and grateful are we for the few amusing episodes dispersed through-out so as to make our difficult task a trifle lighter.
The termination of that year did not leave us as we expected. Although entering the second year as nonchalant sophomores, with stethoscopes dangling out of right coat pocket, and the traditional touch of "Sophomoritis"—we were in a state of mental confu-sion.

Price and Dr. Havens. Dr. Eads' statement will al-ways linger—"Whenever you see a woman with a dis-tended belly, consider her pregnant until she proves otherwise."
That second year threw the light on what might be expected of us. Dr. Moon "shocked" us into an understanding of Pathology. He not only opened the doors to ravages of disease, and made plain the rea-sons why we could elicit certain physical signs, but gave us the "meat" upon which our future practices will depend. Many a girl friend, I imagine, has been subjected to the fifty-cent words of the second-year students, and many an unsuspecting friend's ailments have been thrown back at him in terminology strong enough to cure anything.
Dr. "Davey" Morgan will always be remembered for his ardent desire to illustrate disease changes to us, a good deal of which he made us absorb in spite of ourselves. His picture of "KAY-ZEATION" is a tradition. The enthusiasm with which he discussed specimens was awe inspiring.

tude of Medicine was being instilled during this time, and the air of the physician began to pervade over that of the student. Dr. Thomas and Dr. Crider showed us the organismal working of animals that heretofore had only been observed in college text-books. The surgeon, assistant surgeon, and anes-thetist idea on dog experiments didn't hurt our ego either. It is firmly believed that because of the coop-erative atmosphere presented, and the "lift" given to the students, a difficult but essential subject seemed clear and graspable.
During this year, we made our first acquaintance with drugs and their uses. I would be willing to wager Krumweide, Thistletip and Hotpoint would turn over in their graves to see some of the doses on the prescrip-tions we wrote. Say! Wasn't there a fellow who wanted to use Snake Venom as the treatment for D. T.'s?
Our third year found us returning as Juniors, sup-posedly "in the know." The actual contacts with the patients seemed a wonderfully tremendous jump from the preclinical years. We were now coming into close
relationships with many of the men that two years previously had seemed so mythical to us. Our ac-quaintance with them had only been through the admirable conversations of the past seniors. Indeed, it seemed a privilege to actually be able to meet them!
The conditions under which we worked, however, did not simulate a tea party. Take, for instance, our first meeting with Dr. Reimann. At his Junior clinic the quiz ball started rolling and the leaves of the little black book were rapidly being turned. The silent hesitation, accompanied by flushing and per-spiration that overtook each elected junior, could easily be noticed. The proverbial globus hystericus was a common ailment, and the rapid-fire action of our esteemed professor often made one feel "I hope it isn't my name he's calling." Just realizing that he was in your section seemed to make all of your past glories and knowledge fade in the distance.
When we had finished that clinic, everyone knew and felt that we were just clay p'geons to be shot at, and not missed, for the next two years. Reality had presented itself, and it was frightening to us to realize how little we actually did know. But it was all in Musser; and to it we went. As clinics continued, and patients were studied and demonstrated in the out-patient department, the idea that we were grabbing a hold onto something overpowered our previous shy-ness. However, the intestinal fortitude to answer or question during the Thursday afternoon Medicine clinic was lacking that whole year. It was for this reason that the Senior prophecy "Reimann gets the

Medicine was in our laps now—and the bombard-ment ensued on all sides. Kramer's "spikes," the "master Band" of Paschkis, and the "diarrhear" of Nye all were part of the raid, with the ultimate result some shrapnel hit all of us. It is a wonder that holes were not worn through the seats of the lecture rooms, for the friction produced by our moving from one lec-ture room to the next did make an impression on us. It really became a medical student's art to sit in lecture rooms, and still preserve yourself for the great hour—five to six o'clock.
The dragging feeling experienced every day at that time will never be equalled. It took the master show-manship of Dr. Ulrich and his definition of pregnancy to keep us going.

doing. The principles alone learned in Urology under the well-planned guidance of Dr. Davis give us the ability to go into the plumbing business if medicine doesn't appear financially compensating.
There are so many varied and complex medical ideas, which we obtained from exposure to this year, that it is difficult to describe the metamorphosis ex-perienced since our preclinical days. Much has been obtained by mere osmosis from attending lectures and clinics that the amount of reading we did could not ever measure up to the days of instruction.
True, it may be that the freshman year is the hard-est—but for work the Juniors have it.
The words of Dr. Rehfuss, at his introductory ad-dress, have started to prove themselves. He stated that, at the time, medicine may appear jumbled up—but soon things adjust themselves and a complete picture will be formed. At present, it is not easy to say just how clear things may be, but every senior can feel a firm push into the direction of visualizing medicine stereoscopically. We have changed from the freshman year not only in our ideas, but mainly from the studying of individual organs to that of trying to understand the patient as a whole.
The summer vacation, although not very long, enabled facts to assemble themselves, and the return to college in July showed a different personality in each man. The shyness and indecisiveness of other years had vanished. Ideas were being formed and convictions clung to. Illustrative of this, Dr. Rei-mann's Medicine clinic is put in the foreground. A patient was being demonstrated, and as read in the history a few c.c.'s of fluid, described as being the color of beer, was obtained from the thorax. Dr. Reimann soberly asked Eisenhower what he thought caused it. He was answered with a question: "What type? Light or dark?" Dr. Reimann asked if it made any difference, to which the reply came: "Well Doc-tor, there are two kinds of beer!" The uproar was tremendous and applause rang out. Not even Dr. Reimann can tell a medical student about that famed beverage.
The amount of responsibility we have been allowed in the medical wards and the out-patient department strikes a harmonious chord. We are at last doing the things we want most to do and realize that it has been only through the clever arrangement of schedule that such an opportunity has been given us. Dr. Hobart A. Reimann is indeed to be thanked for this and we honestly hope that his confidence in our abilities shall be upheld.
We are also indebted to him for his correction of our grammatical errors. No longer will "Strep," "Staph" and "G. I." be used. Stanton will dispense with say-ing "Your Pneumonia," but rather "the patients" and B. J. Miller will forever turn over his patients to see if they have been "placed" on Sulfathiazole Therapy.
The newest innovation, which has done wonders for the class, is the course in Therapeutics as presented and arranged by Dr. Rehfuss. It is not every student that is fortunate enough to have the best lecturers pour forth their favorite prescriptions and medical therapy. Dr. Rehfuss has enabled us to have specific subjective therapeutic instruction, presented by the best specialists in each field. By this fact alone, we shall never feel inferior regarding treatment of dis-ease. Indeed, he has strengthened a course which at one time was weak and overlapping. Every man can say that Dr. Rehfuss has proceeded a long way in instructing us in the "Art of Medicine"—for which the unanimity of gratefulness is overwhelming.
We all know that the preparation of his lectures has taken much concentration and work, but the uni-formity of his presentation coupled with lantern slides accurately arranged and self-determined statistics filled us with the desire to grasp.
We hope that all of these men will have a feeling of contentment as we carry off with us the ideas which they have firmly implanted. The rest of our lives shall be devoted to carrying their principles. They have been responsible for our metamorphosis from layman to doctor and have broken us down and remodelled us.
At present there is a war to be won. Our profound desire is that each and every subject studied shall form an integral part of us, not only for self-satisfac-tion, but to help allay the vast amount of suffering to be inflicted on both our fighting forces and civilians.
We are now going out, with the expectation of see-ing drastic changes in medical practice, following the termination of this worldwide conflict. Many of us will be subjected to that destroyer of individualiza-tion, "socialized medicine." However, there may be many in our class to follow in the footsteps of our professors.
Our paths will all be in different directions soon, but our aims, identical. Let the recollection of our past four years' experience be as a firm reminder of the close association of our class. May the reapings of our efforts be fruitful and the confidence of our pr fessors substantiated.

In any cursory review of the departmental effort in the perfection of our medical training, one is com-pelled in retrospect to consider the Gynecology staff not the least contributory. Indeed, the unanimity of acceptance by the class of this department's sincerity and efficiency should suffice as an adequate stamp of approval. In no other course at Jefferson is there a more sincere, hardworking, or sympathetic group of teachers than those comprising this staff. Brevity of time and space prevents appropriate eulogistic men-tion of every individual member of the staff but, needless to say, there is praise and glory enough for all. There is an Id aphorism characteristically Jeffer-sonian, which states that a department can be no greater than its chiefs who in this case have irrefutably convinced us of their worthiness and greatness.
The present Senior class became the first in the College history to be introduced to gross Gynecologi-cal Pathology in the second year. This innovation was instituted by Dr. Scheffey shortly following his appointment as Professor of Gynecology. The pur-pose of this deviation from previous practice was an attempt to discourage the present tendency to con-sider Gynecologic problems as separate and distinct from other gross pathology. It was not until the present year that we were able to appreciate the sig-nificance and foresight of this view. Our Junior year was devoted mainly to a didactic introduction to the problems of Gynecology through the medium of weekly lectures given by Dr. Sheffey and supple-mented by innumerable lantern slides chosen to exem-plify the particular subject of discussion. Despite the almost insurmountable handicap of a five to six o'clock hour for lecture, we were successful in com-piling a complete and satisfactory set of notes.

The present Senior class became the first in the College history to be introduced to gross Gynecologi-cal Pathology in the second year. This innovation was instituted by Dr. Scheffey shortly following his appointment as Professor of Gynecology. The pur-pose of this deviation from previous practice was an attempt to discourage the present tendency to con-sider Gynecologic problems as separate and distinct from other gross pathology. It was not until the present year that we were able to appreciate the sig-nificance and foresight of this view. Our Junior year was devoted mainly to a didactic introduction to the problems of Gynecology through the medium of weekly lectures given by Dr. Sheffey and supple-mented by innumerable lantern slides chosen to exem-plify the particular subject of discussion. Despite the almost insurmountable handicap of a five to six o'clock hour for lecture, we were successful in com-piling a complete and satisfactory set of notes. In order to test our degree of absorption of information

thus presented we were treated to quiz sections con-ducted by Dr. Montgomery who promptly impressed us with his kind demeanor and adroitness in extract-ing correct answers. It remained, however, until the senior year for us to come to a full realization of the thoroughness of our preclinical training and prepa-ration.

Our introduction to laryngology was somewhat indirect but neverthel ss important. We all recall in the sophomore year Dr. Clerf, as the guest of Dr. Thomas, giving his illustrative lecture on the physi-ology of the larynx. By means of pictures, drawings and the spoken word Dr. Clerf impressed one and all with his informative talk. It was not until our clinical years, however, that we fully realized the import of Dr. Clerf's words that to understand the diseases of the larynx we must interpret them in terms of the physiology of the organ.

As juniors we found three mornings a week for five weeks devoted to laryngology. Strictly speaking, lar-yngology does not convey the correct impression be-cause we soon found Dr. Wagers lecturing on rhinology or such things as the rhinitides, the common cold, sinus disease and other diseases of the nose. Dr. Fox lectured on diseases of the larynx per se and Drs. Put-ney, Kasper et al shared the responsibility of impart-ing the "pearls of wisdom" concerning the pharynx. All who had Dr. Putney remember him not only for his youthful appearance but for his brevity, thus helping to expedite matters on Saturday, a day when few patients (and fewer students) appeared at the clinic.
Beyond doubt we will never forget the practice sessions during which we used the nasal speculum, the laryngeal mirrors and other paraphernalia on our partners. Many found their "gag" reflex decidedly out of proportion with their sense of humor. The ruthless removal of a crop of vibrissae via an improp-erly withdrawn nasal speculum was usually good for some nasty phrases which are usually reserved for just such occasions. Only by such practice were we able to develop enough technique so that the examination of the many patients seen in the clinic could be car-ried out with correctness and dispatch.
The work in the senior year in laryngology was limited to an hour-clinic weekly. The clinic consisted of an introductory lecture followed by demonstra-tion of patients illustrating the various conditions encountered in nose and throat work. Dr. Wagers lectured for ten weeks on rhinology, Dr. Fox for a similar period on diseases of the pharynx, and Dr. Clerf, our distinguished professor, concluded the work by spending the last ten sessions lecturing on

The neurology department is a crew of perfectionists. The hours we've spent with them have been profit-able. All too often we had lectures that wasted the lecturer's hour and a hundred forty other hours at the same time, an opportunity given to teachers in medical schools; but not in the neurology depart-ment. It's a good thing, too, because neurology isn't the easiest subject.
The lectures and demonstrations have been fault-less. In the second year there were ten Neuropa-thology lectures and one hundred eleven slides. Each word of each lecture counted and there wasn't an extra micron or finger print on a slide. What memories! Glial cells, Nissl substance, and the section through the superior colliculus in the practical.
The third and fourth year lectures and demonstra-tions with patients to match were most carefully pre-pared and perfectly presented. The colored slides with the robin-egg blue background (oil cloth) appealed to our aesthetic sense. Neurology patients on the wards always look and feel fragile, but they bear up well under the grueling physical examination. Many of them get both a cure and an astounding muscular development. We know one former patient who is running a private gymnasium where all the customers do a regular drill of past pointing, hemiballismus, and athetosis.
Nor will we forget the neurologists we've seen. Usually he had black hair, but rarely he was bald. He was well fed, wore glasses, spoke in a well-modu-lated voice, and usually swung his hammer in a grace-ful rhythmic arc. We do know a neurologist who swings it like a tomahawk. The ritzy neurologists had corsage pins behind their left lapels and some safety pins in their pants pockets. Their vest pockets have hot and cold tubed water and an orange stick

I find that preparing a paper on obstetrics is much like the process of having a baby; that is, it's easy to conceive but hard to deliver. I might begin by say-ing that in obstetrics, as in every field of medicine, a medical student progresses far in his four years of endeavoring to grasp a few of the basic fundamental facts concerning this science. This is better exempli-fied by an incident which occurred in Dr. Vaux's Thursday afternoon clinic recently. A Caesarean sec-tion was being performed by Dr. Vaux and certain assistants with the usual caps, gowns, masks and other paraphernalia which comprise the dramatic scene of all operations. Into this awe-inspiring scene stepped a meek freshman, who by his look of staunch admira-tion, was undoubtedly viewing his first operation. He nervously sidled up to a "hardened" senior and in-quired as to the nature of the operation. The senior nonchalantly replied, "A Caesarean section." Where-upon the ignorant but encouraged freshman asked, "What's that?" To this the senior again explained that it was an abdominal delivery of a baby. "Why?"

ejaculated the freshman. At this point the senior, who was entirely fed up with the freshman and the trend of the conversation, answered, "The baby had appendicitis and it was necessary to deliver the child immediately for an emergency appendectomy." The freshman went blank for a few seconds and then wan-dered off, dubious about the whole affair.
It can be truthfully stated from the consensus of opinion of the class as a whole that the Jefferson graduate has a firm and well-established background in obstetrics, which, when he graduates, offers him a security in this field far beyond that of his general practical scope of medicine. This antecedes itself to our Junior year, at which time we began our training in obstetrics with an excellent course of lectures by Dr. Ulrich, intermingled with well-conducted practi-cal weekly clinics by Dr. Vaux. In addition to this a 10-week course of practical obstetrics was given by Dr. Castallo and his associates. Here the mechanics of delivery and the use of forceps were demonstrated. The boys also learned the art of walking gracefully, dressing smartly, and acquiring a silky purr while encouraging a patient about to go into labor. By the end of the Junior year every student had a sound, working knowledge in obstetrics.
Each student in his senior year is required to deliver 6 babies on his own, or if he so desires, choose a part-ner, in which case they are together responsible for 12 deliveries. This work is carried on from 2 dispen-saries simultaneously thus keeping 4 men occupied. Those who work from the Wharton Street Dispen-sary had much to talk about afterwards. All admired the sweet family group and refined atmosphere which prevailed, especially at mealtimes. Sweet, graceful Miss "Eppie" Plummer, the directress, was the toast of Wharton Street. I believe, however, that much of Miss Plummer's success was due to the tireless help-ing hand of her assistant, "Lib." "Lib," up at dawn, always endeavoring to get the morning work done and breakfast prepared, was an example for us all. "Norm" Lindquist, the houseman, completed the "clubby" group. Although he lived in a room on the third floor, his main ambition was to get to the second—it was fatiguing to climb two flights of stairs all the time.
Every medical student will long remember his first obstetrical delivery. The two students find them-selves alone with a woman in labor and promptly for-get everything they have learned. This immediately reverts them back to the status of a policeman in the back seat of a taxi. However, as time drags on, nervousness is replaced by fatigue and eventually by much work. The great majority of these deliveries are carried on in the most squalid conditions imagi-nable, which in itself is a new experience—to some. One
can only participate in viewing such things to realize fully the utter poverty of these people and the unhy-gienic conditions in which babies are to be born. The least the student can do is to maintain relatively sterile conditions and, with the aid of his knowledge and instruments, afford the mother and her baby a far better chance of a successful outcome than could possibly be hoped for otherwise. It is surprising how grateful most patients are for the care afforded them, and in many cases they offer what little they can to the student for his services. And although the student seldom, if ever, accepts these tokens, he is more than repaid by the invaluable experience which he gains through these deliveries. Those who work from the Jefferson Dispensary go through a similar sequence of events with their deliveries, but here there is un-questionably a much closer affiliation between the students and the obstetrical nurses.
The final stage in the course of obstetrics came dur-ing the senior year when the class, divided into sec-tions, spent 5 weeks doing ward work and 5 weeks in the out-patient department of the Curtis Clinic. After completing this work, most of us were ready to scream at the sight of a pregnant woman. Dr. Vaux also continued his weekly Thursday afternoon clinics, occasionally replaced by some operative procedure. Thus we completed our academic training in obstetrics and are undoubtedly as well, if not better, qualified in practical obstetrics than any other graduating medi-cal student in the country.

We are certain that none of us will forget our lec-tures in Ophthalmology nor Dr. Charles A. G. Shan-non, the head of this department. Dr. Shannon lec-tures to us one hour each week on ocular diseases, methods of treatment and operations, with an exhibi-tion of patients on many of these occasions. He pro-jects much of his pleasingpersonality and gentle temperament into his series of lectures; consequently, many of us call this "lectures on Shannon-o-logy" which in our opinion is tops in ophthalmology. Speak-ing of Dr. Shannon's gentle temperament there is one thing which displeases him, namely, for a student to answer "atropine" in reply to Dr Shannon's pet question: "Doctor, what drug do we use in the treat-ment of glaucoma?" Then Dr. Shannon somewhat peeved and shaking his finger for emphasis replies: "Now, now doctor, how many times must I tell you—Never Use Atropine in Glaucoma."
There were two hours a week for five weeks spent in section work at Curtis Clinic during which time we learned not how to look a patient in the eye but
Atropine and pilocarpine

"through" the eye with, of course, the aid of that little instrument (about $40 worth) known as the ophthalmoscope. Here Dr. David Naidoff gave us practical lectures, followed by demonstrations with patients emphasizing the use of the ophthalmoscope. Here, too, we learned the technique in treatment of synechiae, lacrimal duct obstruction, e'c. Several of the hours were spent in 4. 0. R. watching Dr. Shan-non and his assistants perform iridectomy, removal of cataracts and enucleation of the eyeball. All of these delicate operations were carried out in a most skill-ful and competent manner and this was some of the "smoothest surgery" that we observed during our years at Jefferson.
"Now doctors, when a patient comes into your office with eye trouble, don't touch him, don't do any-thing to him, don't even look at his eye until you have tested his vision. Why? Because it is self-protection, doctors—remember the patient but don't forget your-selves." This sound advice introduces Dr. J. Scott Fritch who is well known for his lectures concerning the relations of the eye and the nervous system as well as oral quizzes on previous exam questions. At this point we are reminded of the fact that many of the staff, Drs. Waldman, Merlin, Ricchiuti and others have been called to active duty in the Armed Forces of our country. Thus, for this year at least we have had to forego the pleasure of knowing them.
We must not forget how well Dr. Shannon has looked after the students and their eye troubles. There are only a few of those wearing glasses who have not had the privilege of having Dr. Shannon fit them. We also venture to say that as long as there are men in the profession like Dr. Shannon, with the scientific ability, gentleness of manner and the affections of both his patients and students, there will be adequate inspiration for the medical studentiust beginning.

What is the frog treatment for congenital disloca-tion of the hip?
This was one of the new horizons that unfolded before us in our junior year. Occupying the hour that placed the lecturer at perhaps the greatest disadvan-tage was Orthopedic Surgery. This lecture was deliv-ered each Friday evening from 5 to 6 P. M. So a group of medical students, weary in brain and but-tocks from the preceding week's work, settled down to gain a few more pearls of wisdom by osmosis.
In spite of this, the lecturers in this class kept the interest of the students at a high pitch. In these hours we learned, and had at least a speaking knowl-edge of, arthrogryposis and the technique of triple fusion.
Ready for examination, having re-studied the anat-omy of the knee joint, we filed into the college build-ing one wintry Saturday afternoon and waited, and waited, and waited! It is rumored that there were those who waited until the heat was turned off.
In our senior year we attended Dr. Martin's clinic and were impressed with his kindliness and patience with both students and patient. Here, too, the amaz-ing results of Orthopedic Surgery were efficiently demonstrated. For 10 weeks we watched operative technique in the outpatient department.
Our thanks and appreciation go out to Dr. Martin and his associates, Dr. A. J. Davidson and Dr. R. C. Hand. Some of us will be orthopedic surgeons due to influence of some of these men. In no other field is patience so well rewarded and results so tangible.

The Class of 1943 had won the "M" of their M.D . . . they were juniors now and were entering their clinical years of medicine. The elevators, which stopped at the fourth floor of clean, modern Curtis Clinic, carried a group of twenty-four boys who knew no more about otology than they used to know about Jake Schaeffer's tenth question in anatomy. You can't say they weren't willing to learn. They just weren't eager. It was about this time that the neigh-borhood pinball machines were busier than a cat cov-ering up, that is, a one-armed paperhanger and a run of ten balls at eleven o'clock meant that George Willis and his entourage of kibitzers abandoned otology for the day. Bill "tilt, Doc, tilt" Grady used to send up a freshman to answer here for him at the ear clinic. The freshman flunked out and blamed it on Hansen.
But to get back to otology. Drs. Hitschler, Towsen and Sieber were surprising in their attendance. Charlie Towsen will have to live a long time to live down that long rambling story of his about the boy with the multiple abscesses. He'd go along in the same tone

of voice telling about this patient's troubles, how when they'd get an abscess cleared up in one part of his body, another would crop up somewhere else. Finally, without a change of expression or tone he'd remark: at post-mortem we found such and such." When the Class of 1943 arrived at its senior year,
its attitude toward the important and intricate spe-cialty of otology was one of utter apathy. On Mon-days from twelve to one a rumor would occasionally sweep the college lounge that Professor Williams was holding an ear clinic in the pit. The fellow who was dummy hand usually scotched this noise with a "quiet, we're in six no-trump."
You've got to hand it to Dr. Williams, though, because he gave a good, complete series of clinics on what's what in otology. You remember him; he's a tall, good-looking man. He was graduated from Jef-ferson in 1912. He interned at Children's Hospital, Germantown Hospital and at Jefferson too. He was a resident at the mental home at 49th and Market and in 1917 went into general practice in German-town. Two years later he began to limit his practice to otology. He became professor at Jefferson in 193—.
We'd like to address a note to the sons of our class-mates who in some twenty-five years may find them-selves in medical school. The note is this: when your old man starts to tell you how he slaved when he was a student and how all the beer he ever drank on school nights wouldn't fill a thimble, know how to shut him up? Just say slowly and with proper empha-sis: "How about otology?"
It's been fun lampooning our attitude toward otol-ogy. But as we close, a thought comes to our mind. Somewhere, and with darned little effort on our part, we've picked up a good speaking acquaintance with the ear and its pathology. Which is another way of saying thanks to Dr. Williams and his staff.

The Pediatrics Department has been left relatively undisturbed by the War thus far. However, there is expected to be a great drain on the man power of this department if the draft age is put much lower. The Pediatricians will then have to go into the Army to see that the youngsters are using the balanced formulas.
The Babies' Bawlroom is ruled over by the Great Dickhater, Dr. Edward L. Bauer, who for the last ten years has been trying to get someone to publish a "Who's Who in the Western Hemisphere" with everyone in it from Hudson Bay through the jungles of the Amazon and across the high Andes except the Dicks.
This rivalry between Dr. Bauer and the Dicks started when the Dicks, who are great Prohibitionists, objected to the weaning of multitudes upon multi-tudes of young voters on brandy indorsed by the eminent Bauer. Within two years the Great Medi-cine Man with his famous slogan, "It Vitalizes and Paralyzes" hasprovided sufficient stimulus for the scrapping of the Eighteenth Amendment.
The Master Mind's most recent contribution to society was his appeal to the United Nations' Allied High Command to adopt mustard-plaster straight jackets for all Japanese prisoners and also to drop via Lancaster several barrels of castor oil over the Rhin?, land so that we might find out what is inside Germany.
Dr. Bauer is a great believer in the fact that doctors should make use of their own natural qualities in the practising of Medicine. He believes, for example, that the attendant should be able to diagnose pneumonia in a child with physical diagnosis and save the X-ray for teaching purposes. He also believes that natural instincts rule over the human mind. This he proved at one of his Saturday morning clinics by unveiling

It was a hot, humid Tuesday afternoon in the latter part of September, 1941, when we slowly wended our weary paths back to school to meet Doctor William H. Schmidt, Professor of Physical Therapy. As we settled our tired frames comfortably in the benches, we somberly surveyed those four walls which were to encompass our free spirits for seemingly eons of our future existence. While contemplating the peace-ful digestion of our recent repast, our imperturbed attitude was suddenly shattered by the entrance of our galvanic teacher.
Doctor Schmidt was to lead us through a veritable wonderland of machines and appliances which in many cases were to be our last line of defense in aiding the afflicted, and in others our first bulwark in staving off the ravages of disease. Our professor began lec-turing that day, and from the moment that he started until finished never lost enthusiasm for this tremen-dous armamentarium in the art of therapeutics. Bat-tling at many times, against the ponderous judg-ments of the profession we all gained confidence in this new form of therapy, in hearing with what un-varnished faith our teacher approached and overcame each problem.
We continued with the Tuesday lectures for the first half of our third year, during which time the sub-ject of Physical Therapy was covered with co isider-able thoroughness. Everything from simple massage

It was after this intensive course of lectures that we were able to approach the Physical Therapy De-partment in the lower floor of Curtis Clinic actually to use these astonishing instruments. During our section on medicine we spent one morning a week in the clinic, and none of us can deny the sense of helpfulness that we felt when assigned to this depart-ment. We quickly learned to use the various pieces of equipment, and it was not long before we had our patients basking blissfully under an Infra-Red Ray Lamp, or had his joint undergoing the gentle minis-trations of a whirlpool bath.
One mechanism lives in all of our minds. It occu-pies a chamber by itself, is large, glass encased, and contains many fascinating whirling discs which hum diabolically, and is surmounted by great polished brass spheres. This is the static spark machine which by throwing out foot-long bluish sparks helped some of the "hopelessly" crippled regain the use of their limbs and also caused their hair to stand on end, as our favorite mystery writers would have ours do.
Although our stay with the Physical Therapy De-partment and Doctor Schmidt was short lived, there can be no doubt that we carried away anything but a healthy respect for the potentialities of the use of physical therapy in our professional careers.

We entered the elevator, asked for the second floor, the Elevator Operator calmly pressed the fifth floor button and we arrived at the third floor safely. Thus our introduction to the senior Psychiatric Section at the Philadelphia General Hospital and five weeks of study of the devious ways of the Psyche; though we often questioned which was the more devious, ours or the Patients'.
Much there was to enlighten our outlook on Psy-chiatry; but there was a lighter vein. The humor questions still unanswered, we believe: "Are brush hair-cuts and mustaches synonymous with the art of discoursing the current psychiatric problems? Who was she? Wasting all that goddam water for baths—and they call me crazy? Why that certain senior was heatedly discussing the finer points of logic with a maniac depressive patient in the manic phase?" "Suffice," cried the Editor of the 1943 CLINIC: "Give our parents a resume of our Psychiatric study."
Well, first let us glance at the history of Psychiatry at Jefferson. The department of Mental and Nervous Diseases was inaugurated in 1892 when Francis X. Dercum was elected Clinical Professor. Then followed Strecker, Burns and Lieutenant-Colonel Baldwin L. Keyes, now on leave of absence, as Chief of General Hospital No. 38, our Jefferson Unit now in the service of our country. His position was ably assumed by Robert A. Matthews, of whom much can and will be said subsequently. We, of the Class of 1943, were fortunate to have inaugurated in our freshman year, a series of introductory lectures in Psychiatry. "Now, this patient," words we were to hear frequently for the next fOur years, introduced our pleasant and skilled lecturer, Dr. Matthews. However, no few of us were quite chagrined to find that there was to be no quiz in the course after we had industriously and assiduously attended lectures and taken notes.
We all looked forward to the Junior year; we had

We entered the elevator, asked for the second floor, the Elevator Operator calmly pressed the fifth floor button and we arrived at the third floor safely. Thus our introduction to the senior Psychiatric Section at the Philadelphia General Hospital and five weeks of study of the devious ways of the Psyche; though we often questioned which was the more devious, ours or the Patients'.
Much there was to enlighten our outlook on Psy-chiatry; but there was a lighter vein. The humor questions still unanswered, we believe: "Are brush hair-cuts and mustaches synonymous with the art of discoursing the current psychiatric problems? Who was she? Wasting all that goddam water for baths—and they call me crazy? Why that certain senior was heatedly discussing the finer points of logic with a maniac depressive patient in the manic phase?" "Suffice," cried the Editor of the 1943 CLINIC: "Give our parents a resume of our Psychiatric study."
Well, first let us glance at the history of Psychiatry at Jefferson. The department of Mental and Nervous Diseases was inaugurated in 1892 when Francis X. Dercum was elected Clinical Professor. Then followed Strecker, Burns and Lieutenant-Colonel Baldwin L. Keyes, now on leave of absence, as Chief of General Hospital No. 38, our Jefferson Unit now in the service of our country. His position was ably assumed by Robert A. Matthews, of whom much can and will be said subsequently. We, of the Class of 1943, were fortunate to have inaugurated in our freshman year, a series of introductory lectures in Psychiatry. "Now, this patient," words we were to hear frequently for the next fOur years, introduced our pleasant and skilled lecturer, Dr. Matthews. However, no few of us were quite chagrined to find that there was to be no quiz in the course after we had industriously and assiduously attended lectures and taken notes.
We all looked forward to the Junior year; we had

genology MELVIN A. DILLMAN, M.D., Instructor of Roent-
genology
Our first contact with the department of Roent-genology occurred back in the grim days of 1939 when we were required to swill down those unappe-tizing barium potions. Many of us probably thought the secret plan behind the whole idea was the manu-facturing of plaster casts of the G. I. tract for future display in anatomical museums throughout the coun-try. At any rate we ultimately found ourselves grouped closely together for mutual comfort, as is the freshman's custom, amongst the Frankenstein-like apparatus of the fluoros opic room. Dr. Dillman then proceeded to bolster up our morale by a few state-ments concerning the possibility of a mass electrocu-tion or at least a violent individual catastrophy. The lights were then turned out and one by one we were seized and thrust behind the screen where our intes-tines were indecently exposed to the leers of the assembled students who viewed them with soft and lewd laughter. It was probably all very educational but the majority of us were too occupied with look-ing for wires, transformers and such pitfalls to really njoy the "moving pictures." Following the brief and thrilling contact with the
department in our Freshman year we did not renew our acquaintance until the second semester of the Sophomore year when Dr. Casper again faced us en masse. We hovered on the outskirts of the fourth dimension for a while discussing such disturbing mat-ters as the electromagnetic spectrum, Angstrom units, stereoscopy, the Potter-Bucky diaphragm, and the like. Following this brief skirmish with physics we spent some time hurriedly transcribing outlines deal-ing with the mysteries of X-ray interpretation, these outlines being shown in rapid succession on the

screen. The grand finale came when real roentgeno-grams were projected for our edification. In spite of the preliminary preparation most of these appeared to us, to quote the learned Dr. Shallow, "like a storm." Dr. Casper, however, did not hesitate in pointing out sundry invisible masses and camou-flaged lesions with great dispatch and gusto. At the end of the second year's instruction we were convinced that to be a roentgenologist one must be fifty per cent Houdini and fifty per cent Superman.
The maestro himself, Dr. Kornblum, appeared for the first time on January 7, 1941, during the course of our Junior year. He opened the lectures with a series of remarks which had the class literally rolling in the aisles. These remarks concerned the wonderful facilities to be found in the darkened auditorium for studious repose and scholarly sleep. It must be ad-mitted that at times we experienced great difficulty in remaining conscious, especially after a heavy lunch on a warm day, but we could not help learning a great deal about roentgenology and medicine in general from the congenial doctor. All of us learned to respect and admire Dr. Kornblum for his vast knowledge of the entire field of medical science. This knowledge plus his wit and friendly manner has made him uni-versally liked by both the faculty and the student body, and for some of us he is a truly inspiring indi-vidual.
In the Senior year we received instruction in roent-genology by sections for the first time. New mem-bers of the department appeared to teach us—Dr. Casper in roentgen therapy, Dr. March in roentgen diagnosis, and Dr. Newcomet for instruction in the use of radium.

Direct from fourth floor 0. R., Dr. Surver, garbed in an operating suit, unceremoniously initiated us into surgery with lectures on that great blood vascular and tissue cellular phenomenon—inflammation. We cannot forget the discourses on shock, although it soon became apparent that we were to hear more concerning peripheral circulatory failure in another course. Various other surgical fundamentals follow-ing in A B C fashion were copied into our notebooks in simple outline form. These were truly didactic lec-tures, but most understandable and, furthermore, easy to study at examination time.
One day, Dr. Fry, as though oblivious of the pres-ence of the class, casually strolled into the room and started to talk about water balance. Evidently it had all been so casual that Shakleton was unaware of the lecture in progress. Dr. Fry was compelled to summon Shakleton to the front row to prevent the "whispering" from disturbing Wenger who was just four rows away copying furiously every word he heard. Another day, we were awarded a "cut" when Dr. Fry, having gone to the library to prepare his lecture from Knavel's classic on hand infections, was unable to locate the reference—Lang had it at a back table. Then there was the time when Fisher was con-siderably irked when awakened for nothing more than to answer a simple question directed at him in an oral quiz on surgical infections. All in all, we are forced to admit that the second year lectures were more practical and will stand us in better stead than our premature anxieties would grant at that time. We were well aware that there is more to surgery than a scalpel in a nimble hand.

Professor Muller always brings a personal touch to his clinics; he always comforts the patient with the impression that there is nothing to be said that has not been covered in the patient's presence. Not in-frequently, he adds the solacing remark, "I thought I had that once." Professor Muller often reminded us what rabid advocates of surgery the medical men are on the bad risk cases.
Unlike many medical schools, we continued into the fourth year with three classroom sessions per week. One of these hours was taken by Professor Muller, with Dr. Surver as an alternate, for general discussion of common surgical diseases. Another of the hours was taken by the question-answer lectures of Dr. Lemmon on neuro-surgery and Dr. McNierney who once had to stop his lecture in the middle of the Mon-roe-Kellie doctrine because time was thought to be up as someone "carelessly" read his watch twenty minutes fast. The third hour, under the direction of Dr. Tourish, was devoted to a recitation and some little time in taking notes on technique—which notes were to be distributed later in mimeographed form.
Three mornings a week throughout a trimester of the fourth year we devoted to clinical clerkships. Students in "A" service were under the tutelage of
Surver in a hurry
Dr. Carty at Jefferson and Dr. Saleeby at Philadelphia General: those in "B" service were under the guid-ance of Drs. Muller and Surver at Jefferson and Dr. Walkling at Pennsylvania. Griping complaints over taking histories and doing physical examinations on post-operative cases about to leave the hospital were met with, "It's good practice for you," and "It is for your own benefit." Grumbles about having too few patients were met with, "The service is a little slow at this time of the year." Laments over a lack of opportunity to assist at operations were answered, "You'll just have to get in there." Despite the occa-sional complaints, each group was very fond of its instructor and most appreciative of its instructor's efforts.
When at the end of our course we reminisce, we do realize that Jefferson has provided us with a wealth of material, adequate facilities, and as capable, sin-cere instruction as could be had anywhere. May we all grasp and retain the incentive to want to be wor-thy of our patients' faith.

One of these hours was taken by Professor Muller, with Dr. Surver as an alternate, for general discussion of common surgical diseases. Another of the hours was taken by the question-answer lectures of Dr. Lemmon on neuro-surgery and Dr. McNierney who once had to stop his lecture in the middle of the Mon-roe-Kellie doctrine because time was thought to be up as someone "carelessly" read his watch twenty minutes fast. The third hour, under the direction of Dr. Tourish, was devoted to a recitation and some little time in taking notes on technique—which notes were to be distributed later in mimeographed form.
Three mornings a week throughout a trimester of the fourth year we devoted to clinical clerkships. Students in "A" service were under the tutelage of
Surver in a hurry
Dr. Carty at Jefferson and Dr. Saleeby at Philadelphia General: those in "B" service were under the guid-ance of Drs. Muller and Surver at Jefferson and Dr. Walkling at Pennsylvania. Griping complaints over taking histories and doing physical examinations on post-operative cases about to leave the hospital were met with, "It's good practice for you," and "It is for your own benefit." Grumbles about having too few patients were met with, "The service is a little slow at this time of the year." Laments over a lack of opportunity to assist at operations were answered, "You'll just have to get in there." Despite the occa-sional complaints, each group was very fond of its instructor and most appreciative of its instructor's efforts.
When at the end of our course we reminisce, we do realize that Jefferson has provided us with a wealth of material, adequate facilities, and as capable, sin-cere instruction as could be had anywhere. May we all grasp and retain the incentive to want to be wor-thy of our patients' faith.

—HOLLAND.
In 1920 when the War Department formulated the plan whereby the course in military Science and Tac-tics was added to the curriculum of a large number of colleges in this country, Jefferson was the first medical school to adopt the plan and to organize Medi-cal units of the R. 0. T. C. Since that year the popu-larity of the course has steadily increased until at the present time there are two hundred and eighty-nine members in the course here this year.
In the Fall of 1939, when we entered as the Class of 1943, we enrolled sixty strong in the R. 0. T. C. class and now we know that we made no error in our decision to learn what we could of the duties of the Medical Officer in the Army. We became enthusiastic members of this class under the inspiring guidance of Lieutenant Colonel John F. Corby.
As Sophomores we returned to find Colonel Corby gone and in his place we have another man who wears his silver maple leaves proudly and becomingly, Lieu-tenant-Colonel Asa M. Lehman, Jefferson, '04. He took us seriously under his guidance and taught us further on the organization of the Army, specifically the medical corps.
After this came the long awaited six weeks of camp at the Carlisle Barracks. Our best friend in camp was Second-in-Command Colonel Lehman with whom we rejoiced when he received his Eagles of a full-fledged Colonel.
Four hundred and forty medical students from prac-tically every state were gathered together and grouped into four Companies, the famous Company "B" being made up of Jefferson, Syracuse, Minnesota, and the Medical College of Virginia. These men were gentle. men and scholars and we learned to like them a lot.
. he has returned"
MAJOR F. H. MILLS
We learned their songs and jokes (if you care to call them jokes), drank beer with them, took their money at poker, beat them at, baseball and tennis and, in short, became great buddies with them.
We returned to Jefferson for our third year more soldier than student and found our Colonel Lehman replaced by Major Frank P. Strome who rapidly became a favorite in camp. We enjoyed this year more than any of the others probably because Major Strome was everybody's friend. We enjoyed his lec-tures and stories and his rejoicing was no greater than ours the day we presented him with his silver maple leaves when he was advanced in rank. The year's instruction was mainly concerned with the more spe-cific medical duties of the medical officer. Tropical and Preventive Medicine became the most important lecture subjects.
As Seniors we returned to school two months ear-lier to start our studies as the first War class. The jokes about R. 0. T. C. are no longer heard and all men in school must now hold a reserve Commission in some branch of the service in order to stay in school. Colonel Strome was quickly transferred to the Corps area headquarters and replaced by Major F. H. Mills, Jefferson, 94, who was called back from eleven years of retirement to his alma mater where he had previ-ously served for eight years as Professor of Military Science and Tactics. This is now a serious business for all of us and our training is rapidly being com-pleted for that day when we will be commissioned as First Lieutenants in the Medical Corps of the Army of the United States. We realize the seriousness of the situation that now confronts us and we are prepared and ready to do our share. We know that our four years of R. 0. T. C. training will help very much to make us more valuable in the positions we anxiously await to fill.

ing scene of a well-produced and well-acted drama. One could not fail to be impressed, on t e very first day of this service by the orderliness of the teaching routine and the workmanlike manner in which all duties were discharged by every member of the staff thus assigned. Only the very closest cooperation ex-isted between student and teacher with the very grati-fying result that almost immediately we were imbued with a hitherto unexperienced delight for our task at hand. Inpassing, it would indeed be a travesty of justice to fail to emphasize the almost artful correla-tion of management of the patient as seen in the ward, both pre- and post-operatively, and as encountered in the out-patient department. In few other courses were we so advantageously favored by actual first-hand contact with the intricacies and intrigues of Operating Room technique and procedure. If addi-
tional testimony be required to establish the genuine and healthy attitude held by these men towards their commitments to us as students, I hastily and eagerly call your attention to an official notice which appears in the West Operating Room. This note reads: "Pri-vate Operations in the Department of Gynecology should not interfere with Ward Class teaching on Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:30 A. M." Such an order, so unmistakably sincere and well meaning, fur-ther compels all of us to regard these teachers with the highest reverence and most profound respect. Because we are convinced that their only desire for reward is the satisfaction of a job well done, it is my extreme pleasure to assure them that success has crowned their efforts and that we, the Class of 1943, extend to them our solemn vote of thanks.

The scholarly attitude of Dr. Clerf and all the members of his staff will long be remembered by the
Class of 1943. We are grateful for the careful tutelage given us and the groundwork we have received at their hands should certainly prove sufficient to help round out and complete our medical education in order that we may become finished practitioners not only in the science but also the art of medicine.

He took one look at the child and immedi-ately said, "This child should be put in an institu-tion for the subnormal." We students stood stunned,
acting like well-bred dinner guests trying to ignore the fact that a companion has shaken dynamite out of his napkin.

The entire Class of 1943 is grateful to Dr. Korn-
blum and his associates for the valuable information they have given us in the wide but new subject of roentgenology. In the present scientific era of medi-cine, as Dr. Rehfuss so frequently reminds us, we all must be on speaking terms at least with this indispen-sable diagnostic and therapeutic agent.

(Continued from, page 48)
never searched harder for an honest man than we did for patients on whom to pass a sound or on whom we might perform some minor surgical procedure. Poor Diogenes failed in his search, but we did not, for in the hope of gaining experience many an unsuspect-ing patient was studied far beyond the requirements of his case—but after all is not exactness the watch-word at Jefferson?
As seniors the class again came into Dr. Davis' sphere on urology ward service. We soon found that the admonitions of last year's class to work hard, know what to do, how to do it and why it is being done was advice well given. But it always seemed no matter how well our cases were prepared, one of the chiefs—Dr. Davis, Dr. Fetter or Dr. Baker—could find something that was not exactly right. Such exacting attention to detail on ward rounds made us sweat at times, but was always profitable. When a senior student tells an instructor that the ureter and the urethra are the same, that man is scared—that this happened is a matter of fact. Urine analysis, P. S. P., S. U. S., the Hirohito, Mussolini, and Hit-ler of the junior year came to be routine measures. In fact, we came to enjoy doing them because each hour spent in the laboratory gave us that much more faith in our ability to make an accurate diagnosis and give a significant prognosis. Each of us was given the opportunity to assist at any and all opera-tive procedures on our patients—a privilege probably missed by no man in the class, for urological surgery has the intrigue of a spider spinning its web.
After finishing up our work on the wards, we bud-ding clinicians started work in the urological out-patient department. Here we were very much on our
own. Each patient was a practical examination of the sum total of our medical training. Dr. Fetter, Dr. Baker, Dr. Bogaev, Dr. Litt and Dr. Rosenzweig were present to help in any situation we were unable to cope with, but in general they stayed in the back-ground affording us every opportunity to learn all that we could. Toward the end of this service, urologic procedures were no longer an end in themselves, but rather a means to an end—the relief of a patient's suffering.
Every week throughout the fourth year, the urology department held an inquisition in the form of a clinic at which the students on ward service demonstrated patients to the rest of our group. A case well devel-oped was always expected; an outstanding case might receive praise but a carelessly worked-over case in-variably warranted Dr. Davis' sincere reproof. It is truly said that no man made the same error twice at this clinic—Dr. Davis does not allow it to be done.
In order to correlate ward work, out-patient work, and clinic cases with the most modern method of diagnosis and treatment, Dr. Davis, Dr. Baker, Dr. Fetter and Dr. Litt gave a series of fifteen lectures to the senior class.
Thus in retrospect we may say that the department of urology, under Dr. Davis' supervision, has made every effort to teach us the modern scientific practice of urology as part of medicine—not as an isolated specialty. In years to come, some of these concepts may change, and those now held to be important will be considered as unimportant. But self-reliance in all branches of medicine, and in urology in particular, as taught and exemplified to us by Dr. Davis never will change.

THE LIBRARY
MR. WILSON
THE spirit of Jefferson is clearly reflected in the Samuel Parsons Scott Memorial Library. On crossing its threshold one is aware of a feeling—
a feeling of being both in the past and the present. Its shining past is symbolized by the traditional gold-headed cane and the portraits and statues of men of Jefferson; thus contrasting but not clashing with its modern setting.
Its easily accessible forty thousand volumes of medical texts; the ever-present and helpful Mr. Joseph J. Wilson and Mi. Robert T. Lentz have placed the library high in the esteem of both fac-ulty and student.
The first steps in the development of the Jeffer-son Medical College Library were taken when the College Building still stood on Tenth Street, on the site of the present Hospital, in the year 1898, pre-ceding the completion of the construction of the
College Building at the corner of Tenth and Wal-nut Streets. An organization designated "The Women's Auxiliary of the Jefferson Medical Col-lege" was formed and began the work in a small way. The members were, for the most part, the wives and daughters of members of the Board and teaching corps of the College, together with some of their friends; their chief concern was the general welfare of the student body. The first President was Mrs. Edward H. Weil, the wife of a member of the Board of Trustees; Mrs. Addinell Hewson was the Treasurer, and Miss Florence Keen was the Secretary.
At a meeting held in March, 1898, it was decided to equip a reading room and supply it with books and magazines for the use of students, the Trustees of the College having previously granted the neces-sary permission for the use of rooms on the first

floor of the old laboratory building. The Women's Auxiliary fitted these rooms with tables and chairs and supplied them with local newspapers and a few medical magazines. A few books, which were donated by members of the teaching corps, were placed on shelves and in September, 1898, the Jef-ferson Students' Reading Rooms were opened. A little later, the Reading Rooms were moved to the Annex in the Hamilton-Diesinger Building, Tenth and Medical Streets. Later in October, 1899, with the opening of the new College Building at Tenth and Walnut Streets, the space assigned for Library use in the new building, occupying the east side of the first floor, was formally occupied.
In May, 1906, the Board of Trustees decided to assume direction of the Library as a College ac-tivity and assumed responsibility for its mainte-nance and regulation.
The Library in the new College Building began its service October 10, 1929. The tables, chairs, and lamps in the Reading Room were especially designed for use in this room. The open shelves are a special feature, permitting students freely to consult, without formality, all except a few vol-umes. There is shelf space for 12,000 volumes in the Reading Room, and for 38,000 additional vol-umes in the stack-room on the floor below, making a total capacity of 50,000 volumes. At the time of its occupancy, the total number of volumes was 12,480. There are now over 40,000 books and bound periodicals on the shelves in the library.
With the occupancy of the new building many new medical journals were subscribed for and at the present time there are on file in the reading room two hundred and eighty periodicals dealing with medical and surgical subjects from all parts of the wot ld.
The interest and pride aroused by the new Library has resulted in a large number of contri-butions by members of the teaching corps, the alumni, and others. We are especially indebted to the following for their gifts to the library:
Samuel Parsons Scott, Hillsboro, Ohio
William H. Greene, M.D.
Albert P. Brubaker, M.D.
S. Macuen Smith, M.D.
Hobart Amory Hare, M.D.
P. Brooke Bland, M.D.
Mrs. Francis Torrens Stewart
The college has been the recipient of a very valu-able collection from the estate of the late Dr. Pas-cal Brooke Bland, which includes his entire Medi-cal library of 2,850 volumes. Many of these books are very rare and consist of first editions and out-of-the-print tomes of long ago. This gift will give Jefferson one of the finest collections of books on Gynecology and Obstetrics anywhere in this country.
Doctor Bland's interest in our library had ex-tended throughout his long association with the college; for many years he served as chairman of the Library Committee and under his guidance the library grew into one of the very fine institutions of its kind in the country.
New books and latest editions of American and foreign authors are constantly being added to the shelves, so that the users of the Jefferson Medical College Library may keep abreast of the newer literature pertaining to the medical sciences.

ITIHE year began quickly enough, to be sure. It I started with quite a bang! We had barely finished
matriculating when we had to scurry off to the year's first lecture, given by Dr. Rosenberger. The sum and substance of this lecture finally boiled down to "Beware of temptation, gentlemen." Or, to quote an old Ben Franklin saying, "The greatest thing a woman has is in a man's imagination."
It was on a typical hot and sultry day, last June 29th to be exact, that 158 young men embarked upon their professional careers at Jefferson Medical college. This date was exemplary of many such dates all over the nation as several thousand young men responded to the accelerated medical program. Never before in the history of the school have there been exactly

This class is perhaps the luckiest class in Jefferson's history—not only lucky to be studying in one of America's finest medical colleges, but lucky to be going ahead in their life's work, while still being of service to the Nation.
A word about our part in the war effort. There have been times when many of us have frankly felt rather queer when we considered that many of our friends were on active duty in far countries, while we continue our studies at home.

Indicative of the appreciation of this group to Dean Perkins for his efforts in their behalf was the manner in which the group pitched right in and kept their noses to the grindstone despite the lack of a much-needed recess.
The working conditions of the grind were made more pleasant by the foresight of Dr. Schaeffer in: (1) permitting us to wear gowns without shirts while working in the laboratory during those first hot days which characterize Philadelphia's summer; (2) Dr. Ramsey's permitting us to wear the regulation garb of white sport shirt with white duck trousers in His-tology and Embryology Laboratory, and (3) the pro-viding of NaCl tablets at the fountain in Daniel

If it has been hard for us, it has been doubly hard for the professors, who have done magnificently. To mention only one example: it is an impressive thing that this year, with only regular prosectors and their sophomore volunteer assistants, the anatomy depart-ment has treated us with as much individual help as in former years, in spite of a greatly reduced staff.

pleasure. Among the amusing incidents we can recall but a few: Dr. Ramsey 's sly, offhand, "Isn't that right, Mr. Duncan?" when the latter had relaxed into un-consciousness. Dr. Bates' "Now, we shall have an unknown slide."
Along about the middle of September a hole oc-curred in the anatomy lab formerly occupied by '1'. S. Knapp. Dr. Bennett was the first to notice, but soon it became evident that, "That damned Knapp" was home in bed sleeping with an idea. "The Mole" and "Pete" tore their hair, "Snuffy" raised his head and sniffed, but Knapp slept on. The issue of this union, after proper incubation, was the "Knapp Club." The club flourished under the president and founder and soon absentees were clamoring for ad-mittance. But the requisites were harsh, and it seemed that "Strychnine Sprinkle" alone was taken into the fold. "Four-day" Casey was so spectacular that he was forced into membership. Without certifi-cate "sonorous" Richardson, became a Junior member. Needless to say, the meetings of this club are the bane of certain educational principles as set up by Jefferson, for they are all held during classes or labs, one of the more ingenious acts of sabotage.
Then there is the one about Joe Garcia, just turned nineteen, fresh out of Puerto Rico, who spent two nights in the jug, following a raid on Lou's Moravian Bar. Moral: Never let Dr. Kriedler hear of your
misfortunes. There is one permanent bright spot in Dr. Ciliberti's
quiz sections which has nothing to do with the men-tal strength of the quizee. The good doctor's haber-dashery is enough to satisfy any "zoot suiter." The reason for this is apparent when one realizes, that "After all, men can show no distinction in dress other than in their selection of ties."
Then there is the immortal "Take two sheets of paper" a la Dr. Williams in Saturday morning chem-istry quizzes; not to mention Dr. Bennett's sardonic words (after observing Ray Grandon's burn from sleeping three hours under an ultra-violet lamp), "There is nothing so heroic as a young Doctor working on himself."
Then, there was Dr. Michel's lecture on the intes-
tines, in which one small, lonely curtain rod was twisted among pieces of towel, rubber tubing, and a paper bag to explain "Somebody's Membrane," while the worthy Doctor warned us with the mournful dirge, "Woe to the Freshman who doesn't know . . .?"
Few of us will ever forget Joe Peckstein getting the chemistry stock clerk to search an hour for a Fal-lopian tube. Nor shall we forget the illustrious name of McLelland. "No, suh! Well there's really nothing to it, Dr. Ciliberti!"
Or the daily meeting of the 3:30 Smokers' Club, with president Tommy Graham welcoming each mem-ber with an open pack of cigarettes, saying, "Here, bloke, smoke a dope." Also the "Hotfoot Boys" of Table 18, and the anatomy lab's "Playboy Paradise" in the vicinity of Table 10 (leads again, last in and first out) which consists of "Stud" Duncan, "Buck" De Young, and "Joke" Dickens. Nor shall we forget the great Jefferson Fire, when Doug Howe and his friends all but burned down the chemistry labora tory with ether flames. (Occasionally, we wish he had been successful.)
And especially, the pleasing taste of beer in Chas-sey's after a grinding anatomy "blue book"—pleas-ing despite Ted Van Valsah's attempt to kill every-body as he threw darts.
But even with the grind, toil, tears, and sweat we have plenty of pleasing memories. We worked, and the seven long months dragged wearily along.
And then—the elections. Jim Farley would have been proud of us that September afternoon, when the pungent odor of politics filled the air as we picked our class officers. After the tumult and shouting died, we turned up with Quint Dickens as our president, and Jim Lee as vice-president. Not that there was much tumult or shouting: the only noise seemed to come from Pat Lavelle campaigning for himself, and from the howling A. K. K. boys as they writhed in defeat. Those noon lectures, when we greeted the professor with a chorus of our grand old class anthem, "Praise the Lord, and Pass the Ammunition." Only it wasn't ammunition we "passed up;" it was 200-pound Jeffer-sonians like Messrs. Schuleman, Matty, and Gold.

. . . the 'little' things in life"
"Making lead from gold"
Many were the men who went up for their "sleigh ride," much to the delight of the professors as well as the participants.
Life would have been harder still if it had not been for the feminine distractions, the Jefferson nurses, and, of course, the technicians ably chaperoned by Dr. Kreidler. They look more like Hollywood than Phila-delphia. We were not as lucky as J. B. White, who dated the beautiful third floor "Hedy," but at least we could look, which we did. We shall always re-member Dr. Bancroft's pointed comment, "You know nothing until you can explain it." A fact we have sadly learned that he takes pretty seriously.
We still regret that we can't all be as brilliant as Joe Garcia and Bill Gaventa, but since that appears impossible for most of us we shall be content to plug along and try to make the "riffle" somehow.
Our first introduction to Freshman Medicine came when 1)r. Michels slapped the shoulder of a big buck negro cadaver preparatory to his lecture on how to
flay a corpse. His slogan: "Look for the pits" was in the mind of the young medicos as they picked squeam-ishly at their syphilitic subjects that same afternoon. Soon, however, pride came when we could all demon-strate pits and do a fairly decent dissection on the arm. Pride left during the head and neck, when Rosen-heim was observed muttering under his breath some-thing derogatory about M. Stapedius. The Pelvis, however, was the focal point of the entire frustrated Freshman Class, who never could and never would make a reputable dissection again. The butchers began to think in terms of long knives and bayonets instead of scalpels, as nerves indiscriminate from mus-cles and fascia were hauled from their respective places in an unrecognizable mass. "Oh yes, we became hard ened to the sight of dead flesh, Oh yes indeed!"
It has been a good school year, and eagerly we hope for many more years like it, and that we may go out into the service of the world and uphold Dr. Michel when he says, "The best doctor is a Jefferson Doctor!"

HISTORY
To MOST of us an introduction to Jefferson wits hardly necessary. However, on a warm Septem-ber evening of last year we were made a part of
the very being of this institution. The most impres-sive Martin E. Rehfuss, M.D., made us acquainted with the sacred traditions of Jefferson and her place in the world of Medicine. His words proved to be a stimulus that would lead many of us on in our days of deep depression. On this same occasion the entire student body was formally introduced to the newly appointed Dean, Dr. William Harvey Perkins. In Dr. Perkins we met a true and loyal product of Jeffer-son and a gentleman of great and broadening experi-ences. Here we feel is a man of many noteworthy accomplishments. As we heard him relate his thoughts in oratorical perfection, we immediately learned to admire this man of science. From him we shall expect much for the future of Jefferson and for the advance-ment of medicine in general.
Academically we were soon to become a further fac-
In the Clear Thinkers Lab
for in the Jefferson way of life. In the old Daniel Baugh Institute of Anatomy we shortly learned to re-vere the eminent scientist of scientists, J. Parsons Schaeffer. Our further respect and admiration was gained when we learned that he had obtained the great honor and distinction of revising the classic Anatomy of Morris. To him we extend our sincere and heartfelt congratulations in mastering this task. From Dr. Schaeffer and his most able staff we soon became aware of the tremendous importance of Anatomy today and always in the scheme of Medical Sciences.
Under the tutelage of the benevolent Dr. Radasch we advanced in wisdom in the fields of Histology and Embryology. As time marched on we lived to see him pass into retirement. We experienced an utmost joy in seeing him being "painted," even though we felt a moment of sadness when he left our midst.
Competent Diagnosticians in the Making
In the personage of Randle C. Rosenberger we found a master of subtle wit. The purely scientific subject of Bacteriology became a pleasurable experience through the assistance of the competent Doctors Kreidler and Blundell. From the dapper Southerner we expect much in the line of Bacteriological research.
To fully mature our year in our endeavors, we now attempted to conquer the field of Chemistry. It was the opinion of our basically sincere George R. Ban-croft that we as medical students should not limit our-selves to the Chemistry of body functions alone, but should however strive to conquer the entire field of chemical knowledge. As a result of his stressing the basic elements and fundamentals we are today chem-ists of noteworthy recognition.
Early in the course of this year we were suddenly faced with the most serious problem in our lives. A problem which was to eventually involve each and every one of us. On that historical day of December 8, 1941 our country declared war. Each one of us as medical students now had to assume a very realistic outlook toward the future. How will war effect the Medical Student? As only war can bring about tre-mendous hardships, we too must share our part of the burden. Ours will be a memorable year. We all now came to realize very sincerely a sense of duty toward our nation at war. To better prepare ourselves so that

As we heard him relate his thoughts in oratorical perfection, we immediately learned to admire this man of science. From him we shall expect much for the future of Jefferson and for the advance-ment of medicine in general.
Academically we were soon to become a further fac-

for in the Jefferson way of life. In the old Daniel Baugh Institute of Anatomy we shortly learned to re-vere the eminent scientist of scientists, J. Parsons Schaeffer. Our further respect and admiration was gained when we learned that he had obtained the great honor and distinction of revising the classic Anatomy of Morris. To him we extend our sincere and heartfelt congratulations in mastering this task. From Dr. Schaeffer and his most able staff we soon became aware of the tremendous importance of Anatomy today and always in the scheme of Medical Sciences.
Under the tutelage of the benevolent Dr. Radasch we advanced in wisdom in the fields of Histology and Embryology. As time marched on we lived to see him pass into retirement. We experienced an utmost joy in seeing him being "painted," even though we felt a moment of sadness when he left our midst.
Competent Diagnosticians in the Making
In the personage of Randle C. Rosenberger we found a master of subtle wit. The purely scientific subject of Bacteriology became a pleasurable experience through the assistance of the competent Doctors Kreidler and Blundell. From the dapper Southerner we expect much in the line of Bacteriological research.
To fully mature our year in our endeavors, we now attempted to conquer the field of Chemistry. It was the opinion of our basically sincere George R. Ban-croft that we as medical students should not limit our-selves to the Chemistry of body functions alone, but should however strive to conquer the entire field of chemical knowledge. As a result of his stressing the basic elements and fundamentals we are today chem-ists of noteworthy recognition.
Early in the course of this year we were suddenly faced with the most serious problem in our lives. A problem which was to eventually involve each and every one of us. On that historical day of December 8, 1941 our country declared war. Each one of us as medical students now had to assume a very realistic outlook toward the future. How will war effect the Medical Student? As only war can bring about tre-mendous hardships, we too must share our part of the burden. Ours will be a memorable year. We all now came to realize very sincerely a sense of duty toward our nation at war. To better prepare ourselves so that

we could soon take our places among the Fighting Forces became the immediate desire of all the men in the class.
Despite the conditions of world order we were how-ever privileged and favored with a Summer vacation. This we thought to be well deserved and certainly urgently needed. Returning a month earlier this new Sophomore year we knew to be of real value toward the realization of doing our part as soon as possible. We observed a substantial decrease in our number. This was expected. Now we are facing a year of great
difference from the previously never to be forgotten freshman year. One now feels that he can safely pur-sue the remaining fields with greater ease and a ten-dency toward desired happiness. Medicine now seems to hold a more personal value for each one of us. This is a universal thought among our classmates.
We were now to make the acquaintance of the De- partment of Physiology and its worthy staff. Through Doctor Thomas our previous knowledge of body make-up was oriented with this science of its function. In Doctors Hart and Friedman we found two real fel-lows—humorists at heart. From them we learned the prime importance and value of experimentation in order to produce conclusive evidence in scientific pro-cedure. Here we found that a so-called fact was not a fact until definitely proven to be so by scientific deduction. To Lucius Tuttle we owe much for the technical and physical aspects of this science. I feel sure that none of us shall ever forget the typical pic-ture produced in a case of situs inversus on the elec-trocardiogram.
To become able clinicians and interpreters of lab-oratory findings is naturally essential to the man of medicine. In Doctor Cantarow we found a clear thinker. Here was a man who possessed an abundant factual knowledge and an ability to make clear-cut decisions by way of diagnosis. To him we are grate-ful for handing to us the first practical aspect of our medical studies.
From Lowell Ashton Ed in the field of Hematology we learned to differentiate between the primary and secondary anemias. This we felt to be of great impor-tance. Many of us, for the first time, through the gracious request of this gentleman, learned of the vast facilities of our college library. We felt that Mr. Wilson soon came to know us all quite well. At least we have a speaking acquaintance with this capable gentleman of the books and his able assistant, Mr. Lentz.
Once more we returned to D. B. I. to further the knowledge of our mental processes. Here the facts of that ever-mysterious science of Neuro-Anatomy were unraveled before us. From Drs. Schaeffer and Lip-schutz the anatomy of the nervous system was given its significant anatomical and clinical value. To

iicorporate a knowledge of man's most complex structure will certainly and naturally prove to be of great assistance in days to come, especially in the clinical Neurological and Psychiatric work of our clinical years.
The importance and value of Minor Surgery, to-gether with its principles, was ably presented by the youthful and sincere Doctor Surver. We have yet to see him in action but we have all developed a feeling of trust and competence in a surgeon of such caliber. His analytical presentation and capable manner gained our utmost respect. As a result many of us probably possess an inherent desire for surgical prac-tice. This tendency must certainly more fully exist today. Doctor Surver's influence could bring about no other end.
To become capable and competent diagnosticians is certainly the ultimate ambition of each one of us. From the Oriental Doctor Char we were given an opportunity to work toward this goal. Here we were for the first time in contact with patients who pre-sented the groundwork in clinical signs and symptoms. Being able to aid our fellowmen in moments of dis-tress gave to each of us a full and fine sensation of self-satisfaction. We thank the Department of Medi-cine for its brilliant choice of Doctor Char who most certainly gave us an excellent course in Physical Diag-nosis. And there was also the thrill which was experi-enced in carrying our stethoscopes and doing all within our power to thoroughly impress our Lay Brethren with the instrument dangling three-quarters of the way out of our pockets.
The importance of Psychiatry to our advancing age of science was impressed in our minds by the finical Doctor Bookhammer. We now realized that the psy-chiatrist is more than a person who loves to ride in Fleetwoods and sport his Esquirish mannerisms. For once in our lives we were permitted to either accept or deny Freudian psychology at will.
Due to the chaos of world conditions the element of Military Science was presented on a more serious plane of thought. I believe that many of us might have pitched our tent with Major Mills on the slightest suggestion. The appointment of sergeants and cor-porals was most impressive and made the study of Military Tactics more interesting. It should be a comparatively simple matter to be able to find one's way about, even in the sticks of Indiana. We soon came to be grateful for the course of Map Reading.
We were first exposed to that most important sub-ject of shock under Doctor Moon. We understand that we will continue to hear of this subject far into the future. To Dr. Moon and the Department of Pathology we are thankful for some real stories.
In the methodical Doctor Gruber we found a man of abundant quotable knowledge. Now even we are referring to "Ketchum and Gotum." Here we learned to dispute our previous knowledge concerning the action of adrenalin on the coronary arteries.
As one reads this review he might gath-r the opinion that the life of the Medical Student is all work
and no play. This is not true. However, this state-ment should be modified. Socially, as a group, we are more or less stagnant. Granted that we have our various fraternity events and our own personal means of amusements. In the form of the Black and Blue Ball we have a social event which involves all of us. This was certainly a splendid social affair, but I share with many of my classmates the idea that this is not enough. It would be fine and good if we could be the class that first attempted to alleviate this condition. So, with this in mind, we are looking forward to a more active social season in the future.
At the moment of writing we are looking forward to the completion of our Sophomore year. To look too far into the future would only bring about elements of much doubt and great pessimism. We shall be con-cerned only with our immediate well-being. We only hope that we can finish as competent men of medicine. In our time of crisis much will be expected of us and much we must be able to give. We shall hope for the good fortune of Jefferson, our alma mater. We will put into effect the knowledge and principles she gave us and to our nation we give our services, keeping always in mind the ethics of our great profession. For we are sons of Jefferson and shall always bear her name.

HISTORY IPHE writing of a class history seems to have I become a custom where a yearbook is published.
Obviously, we cannot include all the events which the Class of 1944 has experienced so far, and, since there is so little time even to keep up with the 57 subjects we are studying this year, we hope the custom will be satisfied if we are able to record a few of the more "choice" moments that we have spent.
On the evening of September 18, 1.940 we assembled for the first time in the halls of Jefferson to listen with bated breath to the -Introductory Address which marked the 116th Annual Session of the College. The late Dean Mohler commended the success of the 134 freshmen upon their acceptance, for he was cognizant of the fact that we had gone to great length in pro-curing innumerable letters of recommendation ft om friends, former professors, medical doctors, politicians, etc., to complete our formal applications, as well as paying $52.00 to have our names inscribed as mem-bers of this great class.
Dr. Hobart A. Reimann delivered the opening ad-dress. There is no need to comment on this, since anyone who has ever come in contact with the doctor can realize the eloquence with which it was delivered and the practical sustenance therein. All in all, it was a very enjoyable beginning. If it could only have lasted!
The remainder of the week was one of "hustle and bustle" as we received our lockers, books, box of bones, and as many keys as a piano. By the end of the first week we had met the gentlemen of whom we had heard so much from the upperclassmen, the professors who were to instil within our minds our first knowl-edge of Medicine. They have proved to be kind, patient, and, above all, proficient men.
First met was Dr. Schaeffer, who, with his distin-guished air, impressed us immediately with his pro-found knowledge of Anatomy. His opening lectures were inspiring, especially in regard to the courage shown by our forebears in studying the human body.

was almost impossible to take notes. However, the lectures were interesting since the Doctor would argue the veracity and authenticity of the views of many exponents of theories in regard to a certain point pertaining to the matter at hand. His assistant, Dr. Ramsay, is envied by all for his ability in sketch-ing the intricate outlines of the various stages of development in Embryology, and for his orderly, sim-plified, and condensed presentations of the more complicated phases of Histology.
In the Chemistry Department we were introduced to Dr. Bancroft, a man with every freshman's interest at heart, and we have learned to respect him as a sincere, conscientious, and able professor. Dr. Hansen has proved himself a capable man and will always be remembered for his willingness to help in the labora-tory. Mr. Williams was also ready to lend a helping hand and to clear some point that might be vague.
We had thus completed our first week at Jefferson, and many of us had begun to wonder whether all of the things that Dr. Mohler had said about us at the Opening Address were quite correct. We had by this time opened our "box of bones," which contained a specimen of each bone in the body, and we were hard at work trying to learn eighteen muscles attached to the scapula, where the anterior clinoid process was, what bones the Pisiform bone articulated with, how many bones entered into the wrist joint, etc., ad in-

finitum. What few facts we could glean from Gray, Morris, et al., we recited to the various prosectors in our daily afternoon quiz sections which extended throughout the first two weeks of school. At the end of this all too short section we had a final examina-tion in Osteology, at which time some of us could not remember whether we had four fingers and a thumb, or five fingers on our hands.
Section work in Chemistry, Bacteriology, and His-tology was under way, and with the beginning of actual dissection we were under full sail. In order that we might not lose interest, Dr. Bancroft and his cohorts gave us a written examination each week, again empha-sizing how broad one's knowledge must be if he is someday going to be a doctor. These papers were returned in due time, always graded at least 10 points lower than we thought they ought to be, and invaria-bly lowering our average just at the time that we were trying to raise it.
Not to be outdone, the Department of Anatomy gave an occasional "Blue Book," for which we spent many hours of preparation, and more in trying to forget. The various prosectors in the dissecting room each took a hand at dissecting the body assigned to us, going in after one particular structure without regard for any others, with the result that many a piece of fascia passed for a cutaneous nerve.

Dr. Hansen has proved himself a capable man and will always be remembered for his willingness to help in the labora-tory. Mr. Williams was also ready to lend a helping hand and to clear some point that might be vague.
We had thus completed our first week at Jefferson, and many of us had begun to wonder whether all of the things that Dr. Mohler had said about us at the Opening Address were quite correct. We had by this time opened our "box of bones," which contained a specimen of each bone in the body, and we were hard at work trying to learn eighteen muscles attached to the scapula, where the anterior clinoid process was, what bones the Pisiform bone articulated with, how many bones entered into the wrist joint, etc., ad in-

finitum. What few facts we could glean from Gray, Morris, et al., we recited to the various prosectors in our daily afternoon quiz sections which extended throughout the first two weeks of school. At the end of this all too short section we had a final examina-tion in Osteology, at which time some of us could not remember whether we had four fingers and a thumb, or five fingers on our hands.
Section work in Chemistry, Bacteriology, and His-tology was under way, and with the beginning of actual dissection we were under full sail. In order that we might not lose interest, Dr. Bancroft and his cohorts gave us a written examination each week, again empha-sizing how broad one's knowledge must be if he is someday going to be a doctor. These papers were returned in due time, always graded at least 10 points lower than we thought they ought to be, and invaria-bly lowering our average just at the time that we were trying to raise it.
Not to be outdone, the Department of Anatomy gave an occasional "Blue Book," for which we spent many hours of preparation, and more in trying to forget. The various prosectors in the dissecting room each took a hand at dissecting the body assigned to us, going in after one particular structure without regard for any others, with the result that many a piece of fascia passed for a cutaneous nerve.
Macules, papules and vesicles
The Christmas holidays found us very well content to leave things medical for a time and enjoy a rest.
We journeyed to our respective homes and tried to
pass a few days in comparative comfort and ease of mind, an accomplishment which was in most cases impossible, due to nightmares in which we saw all
sorts of odd bits of anatomy, weird apparati in chem-istry, and bacteria of a sort that never graced the pages of any standard texts on the subject. These dreams, coupled with others in which we received grades of 35 or 40 in our various subjects and in due time a nice little epistle telling us that our presence was not needed at Jefferson the ensuing year, suc-ceeded in making most of us rather miserable during the vacation period.
We returned to school with all sorts of New Year's resolutions to do more and better work, etc. In short order we found that what we had been through had been mere child's play compared to the future activi-ties. Mid-year examinations were upon us in no time, as were also the various "practical examinations" in Anatomy.
At last the great days had come—final examina-tions, and we set down on paper millions of things that we had learned (and many that we had not) and thus wrote what seemed to most of us to be our Death Warrants. We had done our feeble best to demonstrate our fitness for our chosen profession. We

The Gentleman's year
Intimate Survey
hurriedly gathered our possessions, said farewell to our friends, and were off to our respective homes to pass through another period of suspense, the like of which is not to be found on this terrestrial sphere, until the results of our efforts were announced to us via the inevitable letter from the Office of the Dean.
After the usual preliminary rush to attend to last-minute details, we again assembled in the College one Wednesday evening in September, 1912. We found that our class had suffered as had others before it, and, consequently, many familiar faces were absent.
The year began at slow pace, but this did not last long. We again met Dr. Schaeffer, who, in his first appearance banished our egoism by quizzing us on material referable to the former year which we had since forgotten. So, with trying to recollect what we had learned the first year and understanding such facts as the reason why a large brain does not mean an intelligent individual, the seventeen pathways of olfactory sensation in the brain, etc., we were back again in the so-called "old groove."
Pathology brought us one of the best lecturers and story-tellers we ever hope to hear in the person of Dr. Moon, who also impressed us duly with the mecha-nism of shock. His able assistants, Drs. Lieber, Banks, and McGrew, pointed out the various modifications of pathological sections. And then there was Davy Morgan—with his Morbid Anatomy—a great teacher and personality. His delighted grin as he dived down into jars to bring forth "beautiful specimens" is well known to us all. Before the end of the year "Davey" had us agreeing with him, that some of the specimens were "honeys." May he find his stocking full of lovely "Sugar-Coated" spleens and "Cheesey" lungs for many white Christmases!
In Physiology Dr. Thomas won our immediate re-spect for his pleasing personality and his efforts to make the course mean something. Here we met Dr. Crider who lent many a helping hand in the lab, and Dr. Tuttle, who served the frogs "by the gallon" and gave enjoyable lectures accompanied by artistic sketches which kept us in a state of wonderment as to what next was to come out of his pocket.
Another "unknown" quantity was introduced to us

The mechanism of labor
by Dr. Gruber and assistants, Drs. Haury and Hart. Dr. Gruber's lectures included all the experiments that had been conducted during the past one hun-dred years, with all the drugs in and out of the Phar-macopoeia, by all of the scientists and laboratory workers in the United States, Canada, Russia, China, and Antarctica, with special emphasis on "Allen and Doisy et al." In the Pharmacy Lab we learned to do everything but how to make sandwiches. Despite all of this, we all felt at the end of the year that the course had been very worthwhile (including the sur-prise quizzes) and that Dr. Gruber and his assistants were "real fellows," not too dignified to come down to the level of the student and work with him in the laboratory, and, above all, not lacking in a wholesome sense of humor.
Our greatest enjoyment was our introduction to Clinical Medicine in the form of Clinical Diagnosis by Dr. Cantarow and Physical Diagnosis by Dr. Eads.
As a whole, the second year was somewhat less strenuous than the first had been; however, we began to wonder if anyone ever diagnosed anything in the realm of disease after seeing several consecutive autopsies in which there was no apparent cause for death other than that the "patient had just died." There had been a "practical" exam in Neuro-Anatomy and an unknown to analyze in Pharmacology as well as an innumerable number of notebooks to do, but these in no way compared to the "tortures" of the Freshman year. We arrived at examination week with a certain degree of fear and apprehension and were quite content to be finished at the end of the week, though some of us were a bit dubious since we had heard that it was possible though not the rule for a Sophomore to "flunk out."
We again said farewell to friends and associates, and left the "City of Brotherly Love," to await the arrival of that all-important little slip of paper on which were recorded the results of our efforts for the year.
We returned to Jefferson in the Fall prepared to do bigger and better things. The beginning wasn't the same as in previous years, since the Seniors and Fresh-men had been hard at work for the previous two
Callouses information.
months. No formal Opening Address was given, and we started off "with a bang." As classes resumed we noticed many new faces amongst us—transfers—and we hope they'll be successful in the following two years as well as partake and enjoy the traditions of Jef-ferson.
Many of us couldn't help but feel saddened at the loss of so many familiar faces belonging to the fac-ulty, and, since they're all connected with some branch of the Service, we wish them the best of luck and hope they'll be back in our midst in the very near future.
After a few days of preliminary work we were well under way in section instruction. We met for the first time Dr. Reimann, about whom we had heard so much, and in a very short time learned that his repu-tation was well justified. Through his clinics and staff we are learning rapidly the methods of piecing together disconnected bits of knowledge from histories and how to asso:date them with physical findings, thereby coordinating our vast theoretical background into something practical and applicable.
In Surgery we came into contact with Dr. Walk-ling, who presented us with a very enlightening course in Fractures. In the Clinic we had our first glimpse of Dr. Shallow. We enjoyed this immensely, due to the fact that we could sit back and have no fear of being quizzed, since only those Seniors in the "Pit" were subject to the questioning. Coordinated with these lectures were those given by Drs. Eger and Surver.
Correlated with our course in Preventive Medicine by Dean Perkins is a course in Tropical Medicine by Dr. Kneedler. The importance of these courses at the present time cannot be overemphasized. Other lectures pertaining to the subject have been given by guest speakers who had only recently left those Sectors in which the respective maladies exist.
Dr. Moon again lectured to us on Pathology and convinced us that there is only one way to leave this "Vale of Tears," and this is via the Capillary Atony Histamine-like route. The College authorities felt that we were getting insufficient exercise, so they placed a course in Post-Mortems on the roster and thus gave us

Dermatitis?
at least one ride on the P. R. T. limousines each week to P. G. H. Added to this was a section in Medicine at Pine Street Hospital, after which most of us devel-oped "Athlete's Heart." To compensate for this, the roster was so planned that we sat practically continu-ously from 9 A. M. to 6:00 P. M. on some days and did nothing more strenuous than write notes on the lectures and try to stay awake.
Realizing that none of us knew sufficient Anatomy, Dr. Bonney and his cohorts gave us a series of lectures on Applied Anatomy. We took voluminous notes, and in the laboratory section we dissected and gazed at "cross sections" and wondered what they were sup-posed to represent. Fortunately we were not required to turn in any drawings, owing to the fact that the Department had tired of seeing the same drawings year after year, the specimens from which they had been drawn having long since been cremated.
Dr. Martin and his associate presented the subject of Orthopedics to us in a series of excellent lectures. In all sincerity we feel that the material was especially well presented in an organized and interesting fashion. and we were sorry when the lectures came to an end This sorrow was in part due to the fact that there was the inevitable Final Exam.
The Department of Obstetrics decided that it was time we should know a few items like the mechanism
of labor, what constitutes a normal baby, how long the umbilical cord should be, and other kindred things.
Dr. Ulrich convinced us at his first lecture that we had practically no work to do at all (this by a very ingenious system of mathematics) and also told us a number of nteresting jokes during the year. Dr. Vaux presented the Clinic and showed us many un-usual and interesting cases. Our practical work was conducted by Dr. Castallo, and, connected with this, six deliveries were viewed, most of which were in the "wee hours" of the morning. Most of us slept forty-five minutes of the hour in our lectures during that week, instead of the usual ten or fifteen. At any rate, we were much more familiar with the appearance of the backs of the internes after this period than we had ever been before.
In the Department of Pediatrics we were taught by Dr. Bauer why it was not correct to feed a three-month-old child beefsteak, how to calculate formulae for Infant-feeding, and many other things. We often wonder what would happen to Dr. McNeil if he were forced to lecture under circumstances where he could not hold dress parade, counter-marching, etc.
We must not overlook the famous Dermatology Clinics held by Dr. Knowles and his associates, where-as once upon a time a pimple was a hickey or a duck bump to us, it is now a macule, papule, or vesicle.
And so on to the bitter end with the remaining 57 courses! Meanwhile we devote a goodly share of the time to lighter and fairer pursuits, for even a medical student must relax, and take his fun where he can find it. Thus we are even now adding greater and more startling successes to our already voluminous history. TO THE FUTURE!!!

Fourth Year Class History IN THE fall of 1939, one hundred and thirty-five
young men arrived in the City of Philadelphia, having come from some fourteen different states,
having been prepared for medical study at sixty dif-ferent institutions, and possessing as many different philosophies of life as the number of men. In other words, we are a motley crew from many angles; but, in common, we have one great desire—to study and learn the art and science of Medicine. Thus, we are knit together as the Class of 1943 in the Jefferson Medical College.
Nearly four years have passed since we began our medical studies in this college—four years in which we learned the fundamentals of the science we shall practice throughout the rest of our lives. Most of us will enjoy a certain measure of success, and our lives will be full ones; yet, not so much so that we shall not occasionally look back upon our student days with a great deal of satisfaction. Therefore, we may well pause at this time and present a brief resume of what has taken place.
Before actually beginning our school work, we had certain preliminaries to take care of. Once in the city and on the "campus," we proceeded to search for living quarters. We had read in the catalogue that the college office would gladly assist new students in this respect. As a matter of fact, most of us never got so far as the office, for there were numerous upper-classmen on hand who not only agreed to show us the
"best living facilities in town," but, also, sold us microscopes, laboratory coats, and all the other para-phernalia that a well-equipped medical student must have. And, besides that, it was not long before these same illustrious gentlemen were entertaining us in the various fraternity houses with which many of us sooner or later became affiliated. As we sat in these houses, we began to hear more and more about the names of three men with whom we were soon to be-come more or less involved—Drs. Bancroft, Schaeffer, and Rosenberger. And, then, on that memorable Wednesday evening, this class and numerous other students and friends rose in respectful tribute as these three and the rest of the faculty passed in the tradi-tional academic procession.
The opening address was delivered that same evening by Dr. David M. Davis who spoke on "Self-Reliance and the Medical Curriculum." Dr. Davis said at that time, "I shall take the liberty of omit-ting, in so far as possible, the good advice. I am sure the young gentlemen have already had a surfeit of it, and furthermore, they have neither the desire nor the ability to accept it. Experience is the best teacher, and, in fact, is such a good teacher that all others are practically superfluous." With these words as a key-note, the medical studies of this class officially began.
Our first great task was to master the subject of Osteology under the guidance of Dr. Schaeffer and staff. No Jefferson student can ever forget the long

and an Anatomy book in his lap. The grand finale to all this "boning" came around Thanksgiving when the Osteology examination, twice postponed, gave us our first chance to show our power to the "Sly Silver Fox" and anatomical wizard of D. B. I.—Dr. J. Parsons Schaeffer.
Meanwhile, we were carrying on our studies of Histology and Embryology under Drs. Radasch and Ramsey. We shall long remember the former for his slide of the morula, that mulberry mass which we so often saw, and the latter for his fine diagrams and
drawings, so beautifully executed in colored chalk. We also had the dissection of the human body to con-tend with. Many hours were spent within the walls of the anatomical laboratories. Many a piece of tis-sue was manipulated in an effort to simulate a dissec-tion comparable to one produced by Dr. Bennett's skillful hands. But, scarcely had our handiwork berm completed, when the roar of a husky voice was heard bellowing "lateral antibrachial cutaneous nerve," or some such phrase, and with that a swift moving scal-pel cut through the objet of our efforts. Dr. Michaels
had come, wrought destruction, and passed on to the next table, while four puzzled students stood by, partly disgusted, but, none the less, amused.
The hours spent in the dissecting room had their lighter aspects as well. Many of us recall Logan Fisher

.!)a, ge, y asleep with his head in the abdominal cavity, while Sly Sam of the Faris clan sat by eyeing an unsuspect-ing neighbor to whom he had given the proverbial hot-foot. Then, too, we well remember the day when a certain dapper young gentleman decided that
a certain piece of muscle tissue might look well perched
on the shoulder of one of his classmates. He proceeded to attempt to put it there from a considerable dis-tance, only to find that his aim was not so good as it formerly was. A broken window and the above-mentioned muscle hanging in an Eleventh Street tree gave proof of this. This incident had its repercussion a few days later when the recalcitrant scholar was reprimanded before the entire class, with the result that the Anatomy Laboratory once again assumed the dignity and respect which become it.
But Anatomy was only one of our freshman wor-ries, since "Uncle George" Bancroft forever maintained that a man was not "medical timber" unless he knew his Chemistry. We proceeded to learn innumerable formulae, tests and procedures. Here again we had our share of laboratory hours, setting up all sorts of apparatus for everything from Kjeldahl distillations and blood-sugar determinations to Lassaigne fusions and extraction of glycogen from oysters. We won-
dered what was coming next. Indeed, all of this seemed to be a far cry from the idealistic view of Medi-cine with "men in white" and hospital wards filled with ailing patients; yet, somehow we managed to carry on in fond anticipation of the days when we might play a more direct part in healing the sick.
While Anatomy and Chemistry seemed to be quite enough to occupy most of our time, those who planned our curriculum must have thought otherwise, for each
week we found ourselves in Dr. Rosenberger's Bac-teriology laboratory culturing and examining the various micro-organisms. It was not an uncommon sight to see our freshmen wandering about with gen-tian violet and congo red stains on their hands—the evidence of a hard day in the laboratory. In addition, we had many lectures from the amiable Dr. Kreidler who flavored his talks, especially when they had to do with such subjects as Bacillus coli and Shigella hours he has spent with the various bones before him

dysenteriae, with appropriate stories which we were always glad to hear.
Then, too, "Rosey" put us on the spot at times with his weekly conferences. The picture of him seated on his high stool behind the classroom desk will linger long in the minds of many a Jeffersonian. His man-nerisms and diabolical ways are nev.-r to be forgotten. And, yet, with all his joshing and clowning, he suc-ceeded in teaching us a great deal, and, also in esti-mating the abilities of his students in a way which still remains a mystery to most of us.
Apparently the members of this class were not quite so unintelligent as some of the instructors led us to believe, for, when the grades were reported, we found that only five of our number had fallen by the way-side. Thus, we returned to school the following Septem-ber with renewed confidence. This second year, we continued our study of the fundamental medical sci-ences, the three P's, Physiology, Pharmacology and Pathology, constituting the major part of our work.
In Physiology, we were under the able guidance of Dr. Thomas. A presidential election campaign of historic significance was in progress while Dr. Thomas was giving his series of lectures; consequently, a few political remarks occasionally preceded the discourse on the heart and digestive system, all of which met with the approval of most of the students. We also had the pleasure of hearing lectures by Dr. Paschkis,
Sterile amputation
who was formerly associated with the University of Vienna and an authority on the subject of Endoc-rinology. Equally as unique were the lectures by Dr. Lucius Tuttle, that one-man circus who included among his idiosyncracies a brown necktie, which he always wore, and a giant-sized mustache. His pockets were known to contain everything from models of elephant blood corpuscles to live frogs and alarm clocks. In addition, he possessed the ability to draw pictures and diagrams with both hands simultaneously and upside-down as well. Truly a remarkable indi-vidual!
In Pathology Dr. Moon definitely sold us on his theory of shock besides teaching us, in a very under-standable way, the subject of Pathology in general. His great dictum in all his teaching was, "Doubt until the evidence compels belief." Drs. Lieber and McGrew drilled us well in the laboratory work in Pathology, as did Dr. "Davie" Morgan—probably the most likable person one could expect to meet and truly a friend of every student. None of "his boys" will forget his characteristic opening remark, "Now today, boys, we will take up that great subject of . . ." These are the words of a great scholar and a fine teacher.
In Pharmacology, we encountered another unfor-gettable character. Do you by chance recall his saying, "Now, ah, Mister, ah, Hamburg, ah, what, ah is the dose, ah, of fluid-extract, ah, of cascara sagrada? Yes, ah, but according to Gargle, Gilligum, and Blumgart in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, Vol. 32, you will find that while these investigators were working with a certain colored boy, whose name I cannot recall at this time, ah . . ." With words such as these, Dr. Gruber approached many a frightened student in the laboratory of Pharmacology where he constantly kept us on our toes. A certain Phi Alph will vouch for this. It seems that the experi-ment of the day was to measure splenic contraction under the influence of various drugs. Confronted with the dilemma of a spleen which "refused" to con-tract, the student in question proceeded to squeeze the organ, thereby producing the desired tracing on the chymograph. Extremely pleased with his results,

The well known "Session"

the student threw out his chest and prepared to look around the room at his classmates who were still strug-gling to produce the desired results, when the fateful words were spoken, "Now, ah, why don't you let the animal, ah, do that?" Whereupon, Gruber, Haury, Hart and Company appeared on the scene, much to the embarrassment of the student in question.
So it was that we spent the greater part of our Sophomore year. However, we were also trained along other lines. In addition to receiving instruction in clinical laboratory methods from Dr. "Serum Bili-rubin" Cantarow, we learned about the principles of Surgery from Drs. Surver and Fry, while Dr. Eads introduced us to the art of Physical Diagnosis and history taking. Thus, we were able to "play doctor" for the first time and many a sophomore's coat pocket bulged proudly with a brand-new stethoscope.
Having been thus armed with a wealth of scientific medical knowledge, we paused to enjoy what turned out to be our last long summer vacation. The boys in the R. 0. T. C. spent six weeks in camp at Carlisle Barracks learning some of the basic facts about the medical department of the Army. It was interesting to observe the casual carefree attitude of the men at that time. Most of the students looked upon the whole experience as somewhat of a game. The war had not as yet come to our back door. However, a few months later when the . Japs struck at Pearl Har-bor, we realized how correct one of the officers at
Carlisle had been when he said, "You men had better take this work more seriously because someday you may be playing for keeps."
With new hope and enthusiasm, we entered our junior year. The days of the laboratory had gone; at long last we were to assume our clinical clerkships, thereby finding ourselves in close contact with patients in the various divisions of Curtis Clinic. As the year advanced, we rotated among the various services—Pediatrics, Dermatology, Urology, Medi-cine, Surgery and Otolaryngology. At first our ap-proach to a patient was rather awkward; we lacked the polish and finesse gained only by experience. But, as the weeks passed by, many a would-be clinician stepped to the front. Certain men knew they had acquired a pleasing "bedside manner," for their patients would ask, "May I come to see you in your office, Doctor?" Whereupon the student would reply that his practice was limited solely to work in the hospital. The patient was obviously disappointed, but the student's ego was bolstered a thousandfold.
Our afternoons this year were long and full ones. Thrice weekly we had joint clinics with the seniors in Medicine, Surgery and Therapeutics, at which times we sat in the back of the clinical amphitheatre and watched the seniors present cases and be quizzed. The clinics conducted by Dr. Shallow and Dr. Rei-mann were probably the best attended gatherings of all our student days. Whereas we now look upon them as merely a part of the day's work, they truly were impressive occasions. In contrast to Dr. Shallow, who always entered the pit amidst a loud applause, stands Dr. Reimann.

a tall shadow with a long, flaring white coat. Each possessed a well-polished bald-head, and each was fol-lowed by eight or ten of his staff members.
In addition, we had clinics in Obstetrics given by Dr. Vaux. Need we mention that a goodly portion
of these were devoted to the subject of toxemias of pregnancy? Further instruction in obstetrics was given by the beloved Di. Ulrich whose lectures were always classics. Operative Obstetrics was presented by Dr. Castallo (spelled with two a's and two l's, if you please), that debonair gentleman who is always so immaculately dressed and never without a bou-tonniere.
One of the most instructive series of talks in the whole year was that given by Dr. Cantarow. These lectures definitely furthered our knowledge of kidney function and many phases of metabolism. "Abe" set us on the right track in many respects, and he also found out what we didn't know. Many remember the time that he asked Vance Funk what the normal blood sugar was. The answer which he received, no doubt, removed some of the sheen from his patent leather hair-do, for Vance came forth with an unex-pected "Nine." "Nine what?" purred Abe. "Why, nine cc.," spoke Vance. The probable explanation of this was that things were moving a little too fast for Vance, because a short time afterwards he is said to have started taking evipal to slow things down for him—good therapeutics, no less.
In about January of junior year, the members of our class received official word that, in view of the existing national emergency, the summer vacation would, for the most part, be eliminated, and we would start classes for the senior year on July 1st. This announcement was accepted by the students in good faith, although the thought of attending classes dur-ing the sweltering months of July and August was not a pleasant one, to be sure. Summer school at Jeffer-son was an unprecedented occurrence, consequently there was a great deal of speculation about it during the preceding Spring. How many hours a day would we go to school? Would the college be any more lenient about cuts? Where could we go swimming? These were some of the questions which arose and
which were fully answered when we returned to school the following July.
We found that classes would go on as usual, no after-noons off as some had anticipated. However, the early
days of July were hot ones, and the thought of a day at the seashore was extremely alluring. Indeed,
for some it became an actuality on numerous occa-sions; in fact, so much so that the attendance at classes fell off considerably. Then, finally, a notice appeared on the senior bulletin board which said, in effect, that attendance at classes was compulsory and no absences were excusable This instilled a cer-tain amount of fear into the minds of some, with the consequence that the classrooms once again became filled.
This year was more or less a continuation of what we had done last year. In many respects it was repe-titious, but we were dealing with patients more exten-sively and under the direct guidance of many emi-nent medical authorities. It once was said that "A factor which makes for success in Medicine and in life is early and intimate association with preceptors and teachers who have the ability to inspire."

The Charlotte Drake Cardeza Foundation BY WYAN WASHBURN
Diplomat, inventor, philanthropist
THIS is a story of blood and benevolence in Philadelphia. Charlotte Drake Cardeza began this
Philadelphia story many years ago when she set the example of benevolence and gracious charity before her son, and at the same time developed in him the traits which led to his success in business and finance. That son was Thomas Drake Martinez Cardeza, who grew up to love and wed Mary Racine, in whom he saw many of the deep, warmly humani-tarian and Christian traits of his mother.
The Cardezas sought a way to make their helpfulness permanent.
She loves flowers and people
In 1938 the Charlotte Drake Cardeza Foun-dation was created as a memorial to Mr. Car-deza's mother, and the resources of the Foun-dation offered to the Board of Trustees of the Jefferson Medical College and Hospital for the study of the blood and allied conditions." In 1941 the T. D. M. Cardeza Chair of Clinical Medicine and Hematology was established.

Mr. Cardeza, a member of a prominent Germantown, Pa., family, was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. In 1914 the young couple was abroad when World War I began and Mr. Cardeza became a member of the U. S. diplomatic staff at Vienna and later went to Budapest. Mrs. Cardeza became a nurse and for nearly three years supervised and equipped a large hospital in Poland.
After the war Mr. Cardeza became a banker, scientist, sportsman, inventor and philanthropist. He invented numerous de-vices for deep-sea fishing, made notable experi-ments in photography, furnished many speci-mens for a Yale museum and scores of animals for the Philadelphia Zoo. Of sterling charac-ter and integrity, he is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Jefferson Medical College.
Mrs. Cardeza has been her husband's part-ner in all his interests. She is more. She is an anonymous giver of gifts, to the poor, the ill, the needy and the deserving.

He has found that some delayed wound healing can be accounted for by prolonged bleeding, but in others there seems to be a primary disorder of the normal process of wound healing. This disorder interferes with the proper hardening of the wound and facilitates the recurrence of bleeding. None of the prevalent methods for the study of the disorders of bleeding offers any clue as to the nature of the healing process. Dr. Tocantins has constructed several instru-ments to measure the strength of healed wounds of standard size and has developed several techniques which soon may unlock the secret.

Fresh blood is really fresh. During the last year no whole blood has been given after it was 4 days old. Experience showed that as blood approaches 100 hours outside the body, even if stored and refrigerated under the most careful conditions, that reactions of various types are increased in the patient who received the blood. Jefferson's record for reactions is exceptionally low, with only 3.2 per cent out of nearly 3,000 transfusions last year. There was only 0.14 per cent reaction from nearly 700 dried plasma infusions.
Dried plasma is prepared here by what is known as the modified Hill Method with the use of the Adtevac apparatus by which, briefly, pooled blood is separated into plasma and cells; the plasma quickly is frozen, then dried in a vacuum. In this state it has been found to preserve all its original properties which it keeps indefinitely, at least as long as five or six years.
For separation of the plasma from the cells an ordinary De Laval cream separator is used, the cells being the "skimmed milk" and the plasma the "cream." Citrated blood yields about 60 per cent plasma, the plasma being dried in 800-cc. rounded, sausage-shaped con-tainers. The Adtevac resembles an ordinary refrigerating unit with a vacuum attachment added.

When dried the plasma looks like brown sugar, grape nut flakes or fine walnut sawdust.
Dr. Jones and his co-workers believe vacuum-dried plasma will be the ultimate form for use by the armed forces, since it can be administered in con-centrations five times the original, with a minimum of
equipment, requiring very little time and with virtually no danger of reactions. From a mili-tary point of view dried plasma is more easily stored, transported or administered; it does not deteriorate or become contaminated eas-ily, and would be harder to sabotage than would liquid plasma or whole blood.
Attaches here visualize the day when war conditions may make it necessary to have a transfusion transport or a plasma plane. Such a blood unit as the one at Jefferson could be flown to battle fronts and action points. The unit here is virtually self-sufficient to its needs, even to distilling water for immediate fresh-ness and sharpening needles every time they are used.
Solving the problems has not been easy, but one by one they are being solved. For in-stance, until recently the use of dried plasma was frowned upon because the pH was higher than that of normal blood when distilled water was added. This problem was solved and the pH brought back to normal by the simple addition of a small amount of CO/2 during restoration of the plasma.

The unit here is virtually self-sufficient to its needs, even to distilling water for immediate fresh-ness and sharpening needles every time they are used.
Solving the problems has not been easy, but one by one they are being solved. For in-stance, until recently the use of dried plasma was frowned upon because the pH was higher than that of normal blood when distilled water was added. This problem was solved and the pH brought back to normal by the simple addition of a small amount of CO/2 during restoration of the plasma.

Normal bone marrow
Studies have been made on the photo pat-tern of normal human serum. Divergences from this pattern occur in various diseases. Studies of these changes and the effect of treatment on them are being made in such diseases as nephritis, thyrotoxicosis and mul-tiple myeloma. These diseases are character-ized by abnormalities in the serum proteins. The effect of ultra-violet irradiation of the blood on the pattern also is being observed.
More pertinent to Jefferson's war effort are the studies being made on the coagulation of the blood and substitutes for human plasma by the electro-phore tic method.
Coagulation of the blood involves an enzy-matic reaction, and this reaction can readily be studied by use of the Tiselius machine. Plasma is separated into different fractions with the object of comparing the various frac-tions in their ability to promote coagulation. Active fractions are compared to prothrombin and thrombin which are prepared by chemical methods.
Doctors Munro point out the pressing need for large quantities of plasma and effective substitutes for human blood and plasma in treatment of war casualties. The preparation of human plasma is limited by the source of sup-ply. Efforts in research are with two hopeful substitutes.
The first is hemoglobin or a derivative of hemoglobin, prepared from the red corpuscles
after the plasma has been removed. Solutions of crystalline hemoglobin have been used in transfusions, but its use is limited, due to possible kidney damage from precipitation of acid hematin. The problem now is to separate the globin fraction from the prosthetic group for use as a plasma substitute. Pure globin has been prepared and studies indicate that it is probably homogeneous and free from de-natured protein. It has a molecular weight of 37,000 as compared to 100,000 for all the pro-teins of the plasma combined. Therefore its osmotic pressure and shock-preventing possi-bilities are easily visualized.
The second source of a substitute for human plasma on which the Monros have done some work, but which they do not yet heartily indorse, is bovine plasma. The problem is to prepare an albumin from the blood of cows which is non-antigenic and to which the patient will not become sensitized . . . as do many persons to horse serum in vaccinations.
Other protein sources such as casein di-gests, the pectin and gelatin from fruit and vegetables are being considered.
In other words, if the war lasts long enough, Johnny Doughboy might be getting nearly everything he needs from the farm back home: shoes to wear; milk and steak to eat; milk or cow's blood electrophoretically prepared for a transfusion when he is wounded; and what Old Bossy couldn't furnish might come from

RADIANT ENERGIES
Experiments in hemo-irradiation at Jefferson lit-erally may put sunlight into the soul of the sick, if the theories of Dr. Lowell A. Erf and his co-workers bear fruit.
Since the days of the ancients men marvelled at the mystic power of the sun to heal. They noted the vital rela-tion of blood to life. In comparatively recent years it was learned that ultra-violet light radiating at 2,500 angstrom units has a lethal effect on bacteria, yeast, spores and fungi. Operating rooms virtually have been sterilized by the use of ultra-violet light alone. In addi-tion, this same gentle light, which is in nor-mal sunlight, will convert ergosterol to vita-min D or detoxify many poisons; it denatures proteins and causes dilatation of capillaries, resulting in erythema.
Using the Knott blood irradiator, members of the division here are checking with scien-tific and accurate technique the effects of irradiating portions of human blood taken from individuals with infections, septicemias, asthmas, arthritis, tuberculosis, slow healing wounds and other generally debilitated con-ditions.
The machine, a shiny apparatus with its many dials and gadgets, is fairly simple in principle and serves to allow the blood to flow through an irradiation chamber in contact with a mercury quartz burner. The time of exposure to the cleansing and rejuvenating rays is carefully adjusted. At present 1.5 cc. of blood per pound of body weight is irradi-ated. The blood is obtained from and returned to the body by the venous route.
For expected values in war medicine experi-menters believe the potentialities are as great as the biologic and physiologic effects of ultra-violet energy itself. Three new uses are on the verge of confirmation and are: (1) In chemo-therapeutic failures, as in the cases of septi-cemia when the sulfa drugs have failed. (2) In chronic, devitalized, slow-healing wounds, such as often are seen in shrapnel-torn or burned tissues. (3) In nullifying the toxic effect of burns.
The amazing cyclotron has the unique power of giving to ordinary atoms for a short time the powerful and radiant properties of radium. Simple substances as phosphorus, iron or strontium are endowed with this marvelous power and are sent with their radium-like qualities to all parts of the body. Dr. Lowell Erf, who was resident at Rockefeller Institute Hospital and for two years studied with Dr. E. 0. Lawrence in California, mastered the cyclotron and the technique of using radio-active substances. Experimentally, he is using that knowledge in the study of a number of blood and metabolic diseases.

LEUKEMIA
Dr. Franklin R. Miller lives in a cell. His cell is not one with stone walls and iron bars, but a leukemic cell. With Dr. Daniel Turner, brilliant organic chemist, and Miss Jane Kirk, technician, assisting him, Dr. Miller is trying to fathom the mys-tery of the fatal twins, lymphatic and mye-loid leukemia.
To say that his urine is boiling all the time is not exactly correct, but it is cor-rect to say that leuke-mic urines from many states of the union are boiling and being ex-tracted here most of the daylight hours in an effort to find cer-tain innocuous meta-bolic toxins, stimu-lants or repressants of leukocytes. In leu-kemia leukocytes ap-pear in from 10 to 20 times their normla concentration in the blood, and Dr. Miller believes the secret may be found in leukemic urine, where excess of metabolic products are excreted.
The effect his studies or possible discoveries may have on the war is only problematical. He smiles, and with a twinkle of keen blue eyes says, It possibly would have no effect, but to know what makes a white cell count go up or come down in the various pathologic states or run wild as it does in leukemia, would be of incalculable value." He hopes to pro-vide a cure for the heretofore hopeless condi-tion or throw some light on other blood diseases or even the nemesis of all metabolism, deadly cancer in other forms.
Dr. Miller's work in leukemia is possibly receiving more national recognition than any other experimental study now under way at Jefferson. Extracts of the leukemic urines have been given to guinea pigs, and these animals subsequently developed, not leukemia, but pathologic states with a blood picture similar to leukemia in humans. Dr. Miller and his co-workers have found that there are at least two of these mysterious "X" substances, from the myeloid and lymphoid urines, respec-tively. They are found in the acid fraction of a chloroform extract of hydrolyzed urine which is soluble in petroleum ether.
To Dr. Turner, unas-suming and quite mod-est chemist, is left the none too easy task of finding out the exact chemical nature of these "X" substances. At first it was thought they were sterols, per-haps similar in nature to the sex hormones and related com-pounds which are known to be carcino-genic. This now is not believed to be the case. An indication of their elusiveness is that from over 700 liters, nearly 200 gal-lons, of urine, Dr.
Turner has about one teaspoonful of the real material to work with . . . and it is not alto-gether pure.
Four separate rooms house the so-called "Rube Goldberg" apparatus used in leukemic research. In one room the urines are extracted by hydrolysis and distillation; in another they are subjected to tests in such apparatus as high vacuum sublimation and spectrophotom-eter; in another treated with ether and other reagents. The fourth room is an office for records and for the refrigerated storage of the precious end-products.

CONCLUSION
The Hematology Division mirrors the in-terest and personality of the Cardezas and Dr. Jones. It is remindful of a youth in a big family of departments. It is busy, growing, changing, flexible and expanding, not steeped in tradition. It is working in a comparatively new field where research is not only desirable but necessary. The personnel is cheerful, help-ful and efficient and their service has much of the idealism which Mrs. Cardeza says should permeate the medical and nursing professions.
The future of the Division is promising, and as more funds become available its useful-ness will be expanded. Since Hematology must deal with cytology, embryology, genetics, physiology, chemistry, and clinical medicine,
other specialists in some or all of these fields will be added to the staff. Among other fea-tures to be added will be (1) An annual lec-tureship. (2) Publication of a bulletin or jour-nal and provision for publication of articles in other periodicals. (3) Equipment as needed to give even more service to the hospital and medical school.
Great things are happening here. It is as if a transfusion has been given, or new wine poured into the bottles of learning at Jeffer-son. Secrets are being unlocked which, no doubt, will do much to help the effectiveness of War Medicine and all medicine after the war. To the Cardezas, to Dr. Jones and all the Hematology personnel, the CLINIC and Seniors say, "Au revoir and Godspeed."

38th GENERAL HOSPITAL, UNITED STATES ARMY
I. IN THE LAST WAR
IN 1917, when the United States entered the first World War, the Medical Corps of the Army was much too small to ade-
quately care for the expansion necessary for an expeditionary force. The American Red Cross, therefore, organized a number of base hospitals, each one of which was composed of volunteer staffs of top-notch hospitals through-out the country. These completely equipped and excellently staffed hospitals because of the previous association of their members were able to function efficiently as units. The Jef-ferson unit was one of these.
The Jefferson unit, Base Hospital 38, more familiarly known as 38, was made possible through generous contributions by Adeline Pepper Gibson and Henry S. Gibson. The Director and Chief of the Laboratory Division was Major W. M. L. Coplin. Chief of the Medical Division was Major J. Norman Henry, and Chief of the Surgical Service was Major Charles F. Nassau. When the unit was transferred to active duty, the Surgeon-Gen-eral appointed Major John S. Lambie M. C. as Commanding Officer.
Major Coplin was Professor of Pathology and Bacteriology at Jefferson from 1896 until 1922. Major Nassau was Clinical Professor of Surgery here from 1930 until 1940. Major Henry was a prominent Philadelphia physi-
cian on the staffs of several hospitals in this city.
The unit, consisting of 35 officers, 100 nurses, 200 enlisted men, and six civilians, was mobil-ized October 15, 1917, and began training at the 2nd Regiment Armory in Philadelphia. During the training period small groups studied in twelve Philadelphia hospitals ac-quiring a knowledge of hospital organization and methods. This was necessary because the enlisted men had no previous experience in these matters. In addition to the actual hos-pital work, the training included a series of lectures by the members of the staff. The introductory lecture was given by W. W. Keen, Emeritus Professor of Surgery at Jef-ferson. The subject of this lecture was hos-pitals and military medicine during the Civil War, in which Dr. Keen served. Assisting in this training were Professors A. P. Brubaker and Randle C. Rosenberger of Jefferson. This preparatory period extended from fall through winter and spring of 1917-18, and it is con-ceivable that the impatience to embark and enter active duty reached a high pitch.

38th GENERAL HOSPITAL, UNITED STATES ARMY
I. IN THE LAST WAR
IN 1917, when the United States entered the first World War, the Medical Corps of the Army was much too small to ade-
quately care for the expansion necessary for an expeditionary force. The American Red Cross, therefore, organized a number of base hospitals, each one of which was composed of volunteer staffs of top-notch hospitals through-out the country. These completely equipped and excellently staffed hospitals because of the previous association of their members were able to function efficiently as units. The Jef-ferson unit was one of these.
The Jefferson unit, Base Hospital 38, more familiarly known as 38, was made possible through generous contributions by Adeline Pepper Gibson and Henry S. Gibson. The Director and Chief of the Laboratory Division was Major W. M. L. Coplin. Chief of the Medical Division was Major J. Norman Henry, and Chief of the Surgical Service was Major Charles F. Nassau. When the unit was transferred to active duty, the Surgeon-Gen-eral appointed Major John S. Lambie M. C. as Commanding Officer.
Major Coplin was Professor of Pathology and Bacteriology at Jefferson from 1896 until 1922. Major Nassau was Clinical Professor of Surgery here from 1930 until 1940. Major Henry was a prominent Philadelphia physi-
cian on the staffs of several hospitals in this city.

192 enlisted men under the command of Colonel Lambie left New York on the S. S. Nopatin. Twenty-nine officers under Major Coplin sailed on the S. S. President Grant. Because of trouble with the refrigeration unit the President Grant was forced to turn back and finally sailed on June 30th. Both ships had uneventful crossings and the members of the unit disembarked safely at Brest. The first group arrived at Nantes, France, where the Base Hospital was situated, on July 11th, and the second group was in Nantes seven days later. The Nursing Corps had left New York in May and on arrival at Nantes was assigned to duty here and at other posts. The need for nurses was so great elsewhere that during much of the time there were, under Miss Clara Mel-ville, only seven nurses of the Corps to care for 1,000 patients. Later the number of patients surpassed 2,000.
When 38 arrived at Nantes, which was to be an American hospital center, Base Hos-pital 34 (Episcopal Hospital) was already there. Thirty -eight was located in a park surrounding the remains of an old chateau, and later there were three other hospitals here. The unit arrived to find many of a total of about fifty buildings including 21 wards in a partially finished condition. Officers and men worked together to complete the build-ings. Five days after the arrival of the second part of the unit 132 sick and wounded men
from the Soissons front were admitted to the hospital.
From the time the first batch of patients was admitted until the last was discharged, 38 administered uninterrupted service to the sick and wounded members of the Allied Armies. Detached duty called many of the unit from Nantes to other areas of the theater of war so that at times there were as few as ten officers left at the hospital. Nearly 9,000 patients passed through the hospital during its existence, and, in addition, members of the unit served at St. Nazaire, Dijon, Beaune, Langras, Saumut, Paris, Dancourt, Evreux, Esnes, Souilly, La Touche, Euverzin, Louey, Chaumont, Toul, in the Argonne and St. Mihiel drives, and after the Armistice with the Third Army at Prum, Trier, Mayen, Neuenahr, Ehrenbreitstein, Coblentz, and elsewhere.
Six members of the unit sacrificed their lives while on active duty. These included the beloved Adeline Pepper Gibson, guiding spirit of the unit, whose death of pneumonia in France crushed the hearts of all who knew her. Another whose passing left great sorrow was Captain Samuel M. Mauney, whose neg-lect of himself while sick in order to care for someone else was probably a contributing fac-tor in his death.

Long after the Armistice had been signed the unit finally was ordered back to the United States. It had been difficult for them to see troops going home every day while they had to remain behind, and orders to return were received with joy. The unit was demo-bilized at Camp Dix, N.

II. IN THE PRESENT WAR Months before Japan's attack on Pearl
Harbor every vacancy in the 38th General Hospital had been filled. The hospital had been organized under the expert leadership of Professor Baldwin L. Keys and was kept in constant readiness to respond to the call to active duty whenever it should come. Imme-diately after the United States entered World War II there were many more men anxious to volunteer their services to the hospital. A list of these names when compiled was suffi-cient to staff another hospital should organi-zation become possible.
On April 18, 1942 the members of the unit were advised to be ready at a moment's notice to leave for active duty, and on May 15th the Jefferson unit was once again mobilized as 38th General Hospital, U. S. A. The orders were to report to Camp Bowie, Texas, to un-dergo training. This period of training lasted until August when the unit left Camp Bowie and traveled northward.
When next heard from, 38 was in South Carolina and after a short stop here proceeded
to an entrainment camp in New Jersey. The unit paused briefly here and left the country sometime in September. Word was recently received that unit members have arrived safely somewhere in the theater of war. A heartening note, and perhaps some indication of increased efficiency, is the fact that the unit spent approximately four months in this coun-try after it was mobilized. This can be com-pared with the eight months it stayed here before being sent to France in World War I.
The hospital is able to care for 1,000 bed patients and consists of 56 medical officers, 120 nurses, and 500 other personnel. As be-fore, the unit is divided into medical and sur-gical services. Colonel F. R. Ostrander, M. C., U. S. A., has been appointed Commanding Officer. Unit Director is Lieutenant Colonel Baldwin L. Keyes. Lieutenant Colonel Bur-gess L. Gordon is Chief of the Medical Service, and Chief of the Surgical Service is Lieutenant Colonel Alan P. Parker.
At this date there is little that can be writ-ten about the unit. Their students and friends at Jefferson greatly miss the members of the faculty who have left to serve with the Base Hospital, but our feeling of loss is compen-sated for by our pride that the name of Jef-ferson is, as it always has been, well repre-sented in the service of the United States. We are confident that the enviable record established by the unit in World War I will be maintained in the Present War.

VIRGIL HOLLAND MOON, 1879 Professor of Pathology, Jefferson Medical College (1927)
THE CLASS OF 1943 is proud to present to Jefferson Medical College the portrait of Virgil Holland Moon. Though not originally a graduate of Jefferson, certainly there is none among us who thinks of him other than as a loyal son of this our Alma
Mater. For to us, Jefferson, Dr. Moon and Pathology always shall harmonize. Born of a long line of Quaker stock, Dr. Moon first opened his eyes to the light of
day within the confines of a log cabin in rural Indiana on July 31, 1879. Previous to this one of his Quaker ancestors, James W. Moon, with the renowned William Penn, had come to Pennsylvania and settled at Morrisville, adjacent to Penn's country estate. Some of his descendants became pioneers in North Carolina from which part of the country some of them later migrated to Indiana. It was from this last group that Dr. Moon's father, a country physician, and at that time, a "horse and buggy" doctor, was descended.
In 1881 at the age of two, his father moved his family and took up the practice of medicine once more in western Kansas. So it was that in his early youth Virgil Moon spent much of his time in the saddle, and at the tender age of nine already had learned to ride herd on cattle. Subsequently he attended the Haviland Academy which was a Quaker secondary school.
The untimely incident of his father's death in Dr. Moon's early manhood found him provided with no funds for education or for other than ordinary necessities. It therefore became imperative for him to obtain further education through his own efforts and perse-verance. He later attended Kansas State Teachers College from which he acquired his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1910 and Master of Science degree in 1911. For a short time he taught in a public school, and soon followed in the footsteps of his father. He attended Rush Medical College from which he was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medi-cine in 1913. Following graduation he was associated with the Indianapolis City Hos-pital, Indiana University Hospital and Indiana University School of Medicine, where at the latter he became Associate Professor and later Professor of Pathology from 1914 to 1927. At that time Professor Moon came to Jefferson where he has held the Professor-ship of Pathology for the past fifteen years.
As students of medicine each and everyone of us in the graduating class shall always remember the formal lectures and laboratory experiences with our "Distinguished Chief." His approach to the subject of Shock and related capillary phenomena will never be for-gotten. His sense of humor, clarity of thought and brevity of expression will long be re-membered by each and everyone of his students after leaving the portals of Jefferson. Perhaps we can best express the essence of our feelings by recalling a brief quotation from an article written not very long ago by one of Professor Moon's associates and which is certainly well worth repeating here:
"Now after fifteen years of unselfish, determined, painstaking labor the vast majority of his students and the profession at large are enabled to survey in a comprehensive man-ner the fruits of his research. His really monumental work on the subject of shock has won him justly recognition, not only throughout the nation, but also internationally.
"He has given to the medical profession of the world a new concept of Pathology, which has brought astonishing light on a large number of related conditions. The clinician at the bedside, the pathologist in the morgue, the surgeon in the operating room can all feel grateful for the fundamental truths which he has established regarding the mech-anism of shock and its related phenomena."

The untimely incident of his father's death in Dr. Moon's early manhood found him provided with no funds for education or for other than ordinary necessities. It therefore became imperative for him to obtain further education through his own efforts and perse-verance. He later attended Kansas State Teachers College from which he acquired his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1910 and Master of Science degree in 1911. For a short time he taught in a public school, and soon followed in the footsteps of his father. He attended Rush Medical College from which he was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medi-cine in 1913. Following graduation he was associated with the Indianapolis City Hos-pital, Indiana University Hospital and Indiana University School of Medicine, where at the latter he became Associate Professor and later Professor of Pathology from 1914 to 1927. At that time Professor Moon came to Jefferson where he has held the Professor-ship of Pathology for the past fifteen years.
As students of medicine each and everyone of us in the graduating class shall always remember the formal lectures and laboratory experiences with our "Distinguished Chief." His approach to the subject of Shock and related capillary phenomena will never be for-gotten. His sense of humor, clarity of thought and brevity of expression will long be re-membered by each and everyone of his students after leaving the portals of Jefferson. Perhaps we can best express the essence of our feelings by recalling a brief quotation from an article written not very long ago by one of Professor Moon's associates and which is certainly well worth repeating here:
"Now after fifteen years of unselfish, determined, painstaking labor the vast majority of his students and the profession at large are enabled to survey in a comprehensive man-ner the fruits of his research. His really monumental work on the subject of shock has won him justly recognition, not only throughout the nation, but also internationally.
"He has given to the medical profession of the world a new concept of Pathology, which has brought astonishing light on a large number of related conditions. The clinician at the bedside, the pathologist in the morgue, the surgeon in the operating room can all feel grateful for the fundamental truths which he has established regarding the mech-anism of shock and its related phenomena."

Cavalcade of Jefferson

AS WE of the Class of 1943 leave the portals of Jefferson in the pursuit of the duties and joys of a medical career, let us pause in reflection
and recall the struggles, the disappointments, the suc-cesses, the personalities, and characters, that is our heritage of "Jeff."
It was during the period from 1800 to 1825 that the Medical Department of the University of Penn-sylvania had gained a statistical supremacy among medical institutions in this country; but a spirit of dissatisfaction arose within the councils of the Univer-
sity and increased the desire for the establishment of another school of medicine in the city of Philadelphia.
A young, ambitious, restless, powerful and original practitioner, Dr. George McClellan, who in connec-tion with his general practice maintained a lecture room for the instruction of private students in medical education, was quick to respond to this wave of insur-gency. He realized that the organization of a new Medical School would be facilitated if it were estab-lished under the authority of some literary college already chartered by the State. Gathering to his side such eminent contemporaries as Drs. John Eberle, Joseph Klapp and Jacob Green, on June 2, 1824 he sent a communication to the Trustees of "Jefferson College," an institution founded in 1802 and situated at Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, proposing a plan for the establishment of a Medical Department in Philadel-phia, in which these four should be part of the Faculty.
With very little delay, the trustees readily adopted

With very little delay, the trustees readily adopted

the suggestion and established a medical faculty of six chairs in the city of Philadelphia under the name of
"Jefferson Medical College." "Jeff's" inception, however, was not so simple nor
so easy, for the powerful University of Pennsylvania bloc opposed the proposition and was determined at any cost to prevent its evolvement. According to the existing statutes the Legislature at Harrisburg was obliged to pass on the resolution for a charter before "Jefferson Medical College" could become a legal institution. To this end Dr. McClellan rode on horse-back to Harrisburg. While en route he learned that the University of Pennsylvania sent a group to oppose his plan on the floor of the Legislature. He was well aware of the fact that if they aired their opposition to his plan, his cause would be lost. Pausing in Lancas-ter to change horses, he saw the coach carrying the Pennsylvania contingent ride by, but fortunately the carriage of the opposing group lost a wheel en route and their detention for repairs gave Dr. McClellan the opportunity to reach Harrisburg in time to pre-sent his case and have it approved by the Assembly before the blustering opposition breathlessly rushed in—"foiled."
The next problem was to secure a building to house the school. Because of a lack of a substantial finan-cial backing they were obliged to rent the old "Tivoli
Theatre," now 518 Locust Street, which they main-tained until 1828. By an act of the State Legislature, on April 7, 1826, the College secured the right to con-fer the medical degree on its graduates, so that out of the first class numbering 107 men, 20 men received the official degree of Doctor of Medicine.
The response to this new hall of learning proved so overwhelming that the old theatre building became entirely inadequate. Rev. Ezra Styles Ely, a member of the Board of Trustees, offered to advance the money for the erection of a building upon a lot situated on Tenth Street between what are now called Sansom and Moravian Streets. By August, 1828, it was ready for the tenant which has been in continuous posses-sion ever since.
The clinic, which was among the features contribu-ting to the usefulness and popularity of the College, was a pet of Dr. George McClellan. Of Dr. McClellan, he was considered one of the foremost surgeons of his time and was thus able to cultivate a large charity practice at his office. From this source he easily sup-plied the infirmary at the College Building with patients, and on May 9, 1825, he performed the first operation in its amphitheatre. The clinic grew from these small beginnings to such proportions that in 1856 at least 802 medical cases were treated and 813 surgical cases were performed before the class by

such adroit operators as Pancoast and Mutter. Nev-ertheless, accommodations at the College were so poor that as late as 1841, even those who had under-gone serious operations were sent to their homes in carriages.
Dr. George McClellan is conceded to have been the master spirit in founding the school. His lectures evinced enthusiasm, clearness and thoroughness, but his Waterloo was his inability to submit to authority or to control the impulses of his ardent temperament. As a result, the happy outlook of the school was soon beclouded by personal difficulties with the fac-ulty, so that in June, 1839, the Trustees dissolved the faculty and organized another in which Dr. Joseph Pancoast took the place of Dr. McClellan.
From the time of its inception there has been a progressive increase in enrollment. In 1832-33 the Dean's register showed 96 students and at the close of the session only 19 graduates. In 1833-34, the reg-ister had expanded to 172 and 55 graduates were awarded the degree in medicine. The session of 1835-36 witnessed many substantial improvements in the affairs of the college and material progress in every department. At this session there were 364 matricu-lated students and 131 were awarded the degree. During the session of 1845-46, there were 469 stu-dents in attendance, the largest enrollment in any institution of its kind in the United States.
In June, 1836, a new chair of Institutes of Medi-cine and Medical Jurisprudence was established with Dr. Robley Dunglison its first occupant. He possessed a rare combination of culture and vast erudition which produced the best medical dictionary of his day. In his thirty years of teaching this "Father of American Physiology" signed his name to at least 5,000 medi-cal diplomas. His connection with the institution greatly inspired and strengthened its teaching staff.
The year 1838 was memorable in the history of the
College. Larger classes called for more commodious quarters, and it was decided that the old building would have to be altered and enlarged. To do this it was desirable that the title to the property hitherto vested in Rev. E. S. Ely should be transferred to the Board of Trustees. Since the Trustees in Philadel-phia were subordinate to the parent Board, a neces-sity arose for a charter which would enable the Phila-delphia Trustees to hold and modify the Medical College property as a separate unit.
At the session of the Legislature held in the spring of 1838, a charter was obtained creating the "Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia" an independent cor-poration with the "same powers and restrictions as the University of Pennsylvania."
The new clinic became the proving ground for all the progressive discoveries in Medicine and Surgery so that on December 23, 1846, the anesthetic power of ether was first exhibited there, even before being demonstrated in the halls of its timely rival. In 1849 the surgical clinic used two floors of a building adjoin-ing the College on the north. Later this was remodeled to accommodate fifteen patients. In these new guar ters the clinic was maintained until the Hospital was built in 1877.
To accommodate the larger classes in 1846 more ground on the north side was purchased for a new entrance and stairway. The lecture rooms were en-larged and the old gable front altered by the erection of a classic portico and pediment.
In 1856 Dr. Mutter, Professor of Surgery, was obliged to resign because of failing health. He was elected Professor Emeritus, and to him we owe the questionable honor of first introducing into this coun-try the Edinburgh "quizzing" system. His clinics were so popular that the amphitheatre was crowded with "students" as well as practitioners from all parts of the country. His place was taken by Samuel D.

The Civil War that soon followed had a tremen-dous depressing effect upon the population of the college. Since the school was composed of two-fifths of its body by a southern representation, the registry soon dwindled from an enrollment of 630 men to only 275 men.
In the session of 1866-67 the clinical opportunities were much enhanced by the establishment of a daily clinic, the medical cases being allotted to the skillful consideration of Dr. J. M. Da Costa.

There was much deliberation over the proposition of moving to a more roomy neighborhood, but the present cen-tral location was considered the most convenient to the patients who were material for the clinics.

Later a laboratory of materia medica and pharmacy was equipped in the medical hall. Besides the necessary appliances for a practical course in pharmacy, a room was fitted up with instruments for special researches in the physiological action of remedies.
In the session of 1855-56 a maternity department was organized in the hospital. Practical instruction was given to the members of the graduating class in the use of the laryngoscope and the ophthalmoscope. The rule requiring a thesis as a prerequisite to a di-ploma was abolished, while written examinations were instituted in place of oral examinations.
In 1890-91 rules were established requiring that all matriculates who could not show a certificate from an academy or college should pass an entrance examina-tion in English and Elementary Physics. A graded curriculum extending over three years was also re-quired with the result that the matriculation list reached 711 in the session of 1894-95.
A great many changes were made in the curriculum which made the course more thorough and more prac-tical. The demands of a rapidly growing science cre-ated a need for more time so that a four-year course was initiated, which went into effect June 1, 1895.
The Hospital in the meantime became a great asset in medical teaching as well as in the cure of disease. From the city and all parts of the country patients suffering from all complicated disorders were sent to the clinic for diagnosis and treatment under the pro-fessional services of the leading practitioners of the day, redounding to the advantage of the patients as well as affording a reservoir of teaching material for the students.
The accident work of the Hospital grew to great proportions, but the disproportion between the facili-ties afforded and the actual needs of the institution became so marked that the maternity was removed from the Hospital to a rented building, No. 327 Pine Street. It was soon found that this building, too, was overtaxed, and accordingly a more commodious house, No. 224 South Seventh Street, was taken in the autumn of 1894.
To maintain the Hospital in its beneficent work, appeal was made to the Legislature, who donated $5,000 annually. However, as more working room was required, in 1894 the sum of $100,000 was appro-
priated to aid in the purchase of a six-storied building
adjacent to the Hospital.

study of diseases. It was then considered the most complete hospital laboratory in this country.
Although the Hospital congestion had been relieved somewhat by these new additions, more room was demanded. A far-reaching plan for the needs of this great charity through a long period of time was con-ceived by the erection of the Medical Hall, completed in 1899. A great modern Hospital supplementing the Medical Hall was erected on the site of the old College Building extending from Tenth to Juvenal Streets and from Sansom to Moravian Streets. The new structure cost over $1,500,000, and was completed in June, 1907 .
In 1911, Mr. Daniel Baugh, a member of the Board of Trustees, presented a building to the College, com-plete with equipment and named in honor of the founder—"Daniel Baugh Institute of Anatomy of Jef-ferson Medical College." Located at the corner of Eleventh and Clinton Streets, the structure was pur-chased from the old Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery.
At the inception of the 1914-15 session, the entrance requirements were advanced, necessitating in addition to an accredited four-year high school course, one full year of collegiate work in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and either French or German. To facilitate the instruc-tion a medical preparatory course was commenced under the supervision of the College's faculty, but was discontinued in 1916, due to the increase in require-ments for admission to two years of preparatory work.
In 1913 the old Phipps' Institute property at Nos. 236-238 Pine Street was acquired by the College. It was completely renovated and modernized, and consti-tuted the Department for Diseases of the Chest.
On the site of the old Sansom Street Hospital, there was erected on October 30, 1924, a new sixteen-story Samuel G. Thompson Hospital Annex. This was erected at a cost of more than $2,000,000, and pro-vided a total capacity of 700 beds, one of the largest institutions of its kind in the city.
In the World War I, Jefferson entered as a unit, maintaining and equipping Base Hospital No. 38 under the guidance of Dr. Coplin. The college contributed 1,462 graduates and 370 undergraduates, who served in all capacities in the great conflict. A bronze tablet in the College Building testifies to the patriotism of Jefferson's men who "gave full measure of devotion to their country that civilization might endure."
In 1929 the present College Building, imposing in its architecture, resplendent in its furnishings, equipped with a complete library, and with every facility for modern laboratory and didactic teaching, was opened and occupied. It was erected at a cost of $1,500,000. To this in 1931 was added the adjoining Curtis Clinic, named in the honor of its builder.
In 1934 a new course in Pharmacology was inaugu-rated at Jefferson. The course consisted of lectures, recitations and laboratory experimentations, and is now one of the major subjects of :instruction to sopho-more students.
In December, 1938 the College and Hospital re-ceived funds to establish a Division of Hematology in the Department of Medicine, under the direction of Dr. Harold W. Jones. A modern laboratory com-plete in every respect for this purpose was constructed on the second floor, just west of the Men's Medical Department. Provision has been made for an out-patient clinic as well as establishment of a blood bank, and funds for extensive research on the problem of Leukemia.
With the onset of the present World conflagration, and in compliance with the request from the Surgeon-General's office, the Jefferson Medical College and Hospital reformed the 38th General Hospital for the United States Army, to be composed of Jefferson per-sonnel. Dr. Baldwin L. Keyes, who was a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Medical Reserve, was appointed Unit Director. The hospital was prepared for a capacity of 10,000 beds, to have 55 physicians and 15 medical administrative officers, with 120 nurses and other per-sonnel to total approximately 700 in all.
With the onset of the year 1942, Dr. William Har-vey Perkins was appointed new Dean of Jefferson Medical College. In addition to his wide popularity as an individual, he is a man of broad interests, and brings to Jefferson a font of unusual wisdom in Medi-
cal Education problems.
Today, 1943, Jefferson stands as a testimony to the genius of the minds that conceived her; to the courage and the wisdom of her brilliant faculties, the Boards of Trustees, the munificent subscribers, and to its student bodies, who later as alumni added to the laurels of their alma mater.
The depth and sincerity of its hallowed walls shall linger in our hearts and minds as an omnipresent inspiration, and as we go forth, no longer as students of "Jeff" but men of the alumni of "Jeff," we shall strive to maintain the lofty standards of the Art of Medicine which have been inculcated in us. And when the day is done, and our careers have also become part of the Cavalcade of Jefferson, may the newer generations record with pride the great achievements of the Class of 1943.

Located at the corner of Eleventh and Clinton Streets, the structure was pur-chased from the old Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery.
At the inception of the 1914-15 session, the entrance requirements were advanced, necessitating in addition to an accredited four-year high school course, one full year of collegiate work in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and either French or German. To facilitate the instruc-tion a medical preparatory course was commenced under the supervision of the College's faculty, but was discontinued in 1916, due to the increase in require-ments for admission to two years of preparatory work.
In 1913 the old Phipps' Institute property at Nos. 236-238 Pine Street was acquired by the College. It was completely renovated and modernized, and consti-tuted the Department for Diseases of the Chest.
On the site of the old Sansom Street Hospital, there was erected on October 30, 1924, a new sixteen-story Samuel G. Thompson Hospital Annex. This was erected at a cost of more than $2,000,000, and pro-vided a total capacity of 700 beds, one of the largest institutions of its kind in the city.
In the World War I, Jefferson entered as a unit, maintaining and equipping Base Hospital No. 38 under the guidance of Dr. Coplin. The college contributed 1,462 graduates and 370 undergraduates, who served in all capacities in the great conflict. A bronze tablet in the College Building testifies to the patriotism of Jefferson's men who "gave full measure of devotion to their country that civilization might endure."
In 1929 the present College Building, imposing in its architecture, resplendent in its furnishings, equipped with a complete library, and with every facility for modern laboratory and didactic teaching, was opened and occupied. It was erected at a cost of $1,500,000. To this in 1931 was added the adjoining Curtis Clinic, named in the honor of its builder.
In 1934 a new course in Pharmacology was inaugu-rated at Jefferson. The course consisted of lectures, recitations and laboratory experimentations, and is now one of the major subjects of :instruction to sopho-more students.
In December, 1938 the College and Hospital re-ceived funds to establish a Division of Hematology in the Department of Medicine, under the direction of Dr. Harold W. Jones. A modern laboratory com-plete in every respect for this purpose was constructed on the second floor, just west of the Men's Medical Department. Provision has been made for an out-patient clinic as well as establishment of a blood bank, and funds for extensive research on the problem of Leukemia.
With the onset of the present World conflagration, and in compliance with the request from the Surgeon-General's office, the Jefferson Medical College and Hospital reformed the 38th General Hospital for the United States Army, to be composed of Jefferson per-sonnel. Dr. Baldwin L. Keyes, who was a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Medical Reserve, was appointed Unit Director. The hospital was prepared for a capacity of 10,000 beds, to have 55 physicians and 15 medical administrative officers, with 120 nurses and other per-sonnel to total approximately 700 in all.
With the onset of the year 1942, Dr. William Har-vey Perkins was appointed new Dean of Jefferson Medical College. In addition to his wide popularity as an individual, he is a man of broad interests, and brings to Jefferson a font of unusual wisdom in Medi-
cal Education problems.
Today, 1943, Jefferson stands as a testimony to the genius of the minds that conceived her; to the courage and the wisdom of her brilliant faculties, the Boards of Trustees, the munificent subscribers, and to its student bodies, who later as alumni added to the laurels of their alma mater.
The depth and sincerity of its hallowed walls shall linger in our hearts and minds as an omnipresent inspiration, and as we go forth, no longer as students of "Jeff" but men of the alumni of "Jeff," we shall strive to maintain the lofty standards of the Art of Medicine which have been inculcated in us. And when the day is done, and our careers have also become part of the Cavalcade of Jefferson, may the newer generations record with pride the great achievements of the Class of 1943.

PHYSIOLOGY
ARMY physicians know that peptic ulcer and other digestive disturbances increase amazingly during the stress and strain
of war. Jefferson physiologists and research workers in war-time are contributing valuable findings and data on this and other problems.
For many months Dr. J. Earl Thomas, head physiologist here, and Dr. Martin E. Rehfuss, Professor of Clinical Medicine, and their co-workers have been studying secretions from the stomach, duodenum and pancreas, their regulation and control and other technical but intensely interesting features.
Three Patterson research Fellows in Physi-ology already have made their contributions and have entered the Service: Dr. W. C. Wirts with the Unit overseas, Dr. J. Edward Berk at Fort Dix, N. J., and Dr. Irwin J. Pincus at Camp Lee, Va.
Dr. Pincus was working in the field of gastric secretions when he left, while the work of Drs. Berk, Thomas and Redfuss has been directly on the peptic ulcer problem, a disease which is making thousands of casualties of American soldiers even before they face the enemy. Dr. Berk demonstrated the use of a double lumen steel-tipped tube which will
aspirate the contents of the stomach and duodenum simultaneously. With this tube workers were able to study the "ulcer bearing area" of the duodenum, at the same time keeping separate tab on stimuli and secretions in the stomach. They showed that in ulcer the pH is reduced and the neutralizing ability of the duodenum is impaired. The group this year published a number of papers on the problem.
Dr. Thomas has done a considerable amount of work, experimentally and in writing. Some of his work in addition to studies already mentioned includes amino acids and gastric inhibition, preparation of a new type Pavalov pouch in dogs, review of recent research on the digestive system, a current article on the modern conception of gastric secretion; and with Dr. J. 0. Crider, departmental associate, considerable work on the physiology of the pancreas.
Dr. M. H. F. Friedman at present is studying the GI tract from the hormonal angle, working with gastrin, secretin, enterogastrone, etc. He is studying mechanisms which regulate the activity of the stomach, the hypertensive prop-erties of renin, and with Dr. Paschkis, the possible use of desoxycorticosterone in shock.
The work of Dr. William M. Hart, Mayo trained native of Iowa, may have a bearing on the problem of eye injuries by war gases. His major problems now include studies in the respiration of the cornea and lens of the eye, the chemistry of the enzymes in tissue respira-tion, and the osmotic pressure of both the blood and the aqueous humor of the eye.
Dr. Rehfuss has just completed a new book, "Indigestion," which will be released in the spring. The book was written out of the wealth of his years of rich experience in treating gastro-intestinal diseases and in the light of the latest experimental work in the field.

CLINICAL MEDICINE
Five pioneers on Medicine's frontier of endocrine research this year demonstrated to Jefferson and to the scientific world the exis-tence of an enterohepatic circulation for steroid compounds, thus supplying valuable informa-tion in the seemingly endless quest for cancer cure.
Hunters here who called their dogs to the experimental tables in the physiology labora-tory were Dr. K. E. Paschkis, endocrinologist; Dr. L. P. Hansen, chemist; Dr. A. A. Walkling, anatomist and surgeon; Dr. A. E. Rakoff and Dr. A. Cantarow, physiologists and clinicians. Dr. Cantarow outlined the studies in "The Relationship of the Liver to the Metabolism of the Steroid Hormones." Studies have ex-tended over a two-year period, and the results were presented at the last meeting of the American Physiological Society. Publication of all the details of the work is now being completed.
Dr. Cantarow explained that when such steroid compounds as estrogens, androgens, adrenal cortical substances, vitamin D, and certain carcinogenic agents were given to experimental animals, about 10 per cent of the substances were excreted in the urine. No one was certain what happened to the other 90 per cent.
Tests here with androgens and estrogens revealed that the missing 90 per cent was circulating from the liver to the intestine where it was reabsorbed and then to the liver again via the portal circulation. This process was continuous, after the manner of bile salts. Bile salts and the steroid compounds have the same or very similar nuclear structure.
It is a well-known fact that many of the secretions from the endocrine glands are car-cinogenic, that their chemistry is closely related to many industrial products, especially to derivatives of petroleum and coal tar.
How to keep certain forms of cancer from developing in many workers who are producing weapons of war from carcinogenic materials is a problem still to be solved.
A second problem Dr. Cantarow and his associates are now studying is "The Effects of
Insulin on the Distribution of Sugar in the Blood and Body Fluids."
MEDICINE
A busy practitioner who takes time off for research when he really ought to be resting goes at the task seriously enough to get results, even when that task for many years has been termed "impossible."
Dr. Guy Nelson of the Medicine department had not heard or did not believe that the production of chronic cholecystitis in rabbits was impossible. After nine years' experimenta-tion in the Jefferson laboratory at Frankford he produced it, and his chief and associate in the project, Dr. Martin E. Rehfuss, has some beautiful color pictures of all phases of the work.
Many workers have produced acute gall-bladder disease, gall stones, ulcer, or fibrosis in rabbits, but it was left to Dr. Nelson and Dr. Rehfuss to be able to produce at will the chronic type of gall-bladder disease which plagues so many thousands of men and women in the world today. Details of the work have been recorded in a recent issue of "Surgery and Gynecology."
The organism with which Dr. Nelson had most success was a streptococcus non-hemo-lyticus obtained from a student with a type of ulcerative colitis. Their practical conclu-sions are that the disease is not local but general, that it is the result of multiple infec-tions, that any measure which builds resistance or prevents infection will tend to prevent its occurrence.

This department is also assisting the ob-stetrics department in a study of the use of puerperal bacterins in pregnant women attend-ing the Curtis Clinic. The problem includes taking the measure of the antibody response and comparing it with responses found in inoculated non-pregnant individuals. Miss Regina Theresa Hoban is giving valuable assistance in bacteriological research.
Dr. Blundell is from Mississippi and took a Ph.D. at Yale.
PHARMACOLOGY BACTERIOLOGY
A new form of pneumonitis, known as viral pneumonia and which is untouched by the miraculous sulfa drugs, is one of the "enemies on the long list posted for thorough study" by the bacteriology department. Dr. Randle C. Rosenberger, oldest active member of the faculty, says, We are always doing a little something," and those who know "Rosy" know he is one of the busiest men in the city.
Dr. George P. Blundell, research bacteri-ologist, and Dr. Hobart A. Reimann, head of the medical department, are collaborating on a study of several viruses which may be the cause of the peculiar type of pneumonia known here as "typical atypical pneumonia" and which looms as a really serious war problem in the event of a recurrence of an influenza epidemic.
Only a few of the viruses can be seen, even with the aid of an electron microscope, and can best be identified by the use of complement fixation tests and collodion fixation tests. Their study is fraught with danger of infection of physicians and laboratory workers.
Working with fluids made available by the late Arthur H. Lea, Dr. Blundell is trying to find a cure or prophylaxis for streptococcal infections. His aim is to study and determine factors of resistance and susceptibility of hosts, as well as the virulence and invasiveness of the organisms. He is attempting to standardize his work by using animals whose inherited characteristics are known. He is making a collection of most of the known streptococcal strains, including the widely accepted Lance-field types.
Factually speaking, it's a long way to China; morphine is an alkaloid of opium; opium is in poppy juice; the best opium poppies grow in China.
This combination of factors plus the war may have affected the course of some of the research in the pharmacology department here which has tested Demerol, a so-called substitute for morphine, and which is testing the pharma-cology and toxicology of N-allyl-normorphine, a "cousin" of morphine.
Dr. Charles M. Gruber, head of the depart-ment, with his son, Dr. Charles M. Gruber, Jr., and Dr. E. Ross Hart studied Demerol in all its effects in therapeutic and toxic doses with special reference to its use as a spasmolytic and analgetic agent and concluded that its analgesic potency was the most promising quality of the drug.
Dr. Hart is studying the N-allyl-normor-phine which as yet is so new it has not been given a common name. Collaborating with Dr. Elton L. McCawley of the University of California, he has shown in mice and rabbits that the drug will antagonize the respiratory depression and decrease the mortality of morphine.
Since Vitamin C is so important in wound healing, the department is continuing the investigation of the effect of various drugs upon the retention or excretion of Vitamin C or ascorbic acid from the body. The especial problem of Dr. Fred W. Ellis, soft-spoken South Carolinian, is with the sulfonamide compounds. Dilantin was shown here to decrease the plasma level of Vitamin C.

Dr. Gruber and Dr. Miles E. Drake, formerly of Jefferson, have shown an effective method for the administration of epinephrine via the bone marrow, a practical item in conditions of shock in war medicine. Dr. A. Cantarow and Dr. V. G. Haury, the latter now in private practice, made an extensive study of the pres-ence of magnesium, a vital war metal, in the body in health or disease. Last, but not least, Dr. Gruber has reported a complete pharma-cological comparison of the barbiturates and thiobarbiturates.
ANATOMY
A new textbook and a new technique for successful transplantation of a muscle are among the Anatomy department's contribu-tions to the war effort.
Dr. J. Parsons Schaeffer, eminent anatomist and author, this year completed a revision of Morris' "Human Anatomy" which is described as a complete systematic treatise and possibly is the most authoritative textbook on human anatomy extant today.
Complete in every respect, the 1635-page book is abounding in knowledge and interpre-tations of the human body, anatomically. The book, a 10th edition, is published by the Blakiston Company of Philadelphia. Eleven other distinguished anatomists from the United States and Canada collaborated with Dr. Schaeffer in the new book, being from North-western, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Tulane, Toronto, Cornell, Oregon and Michigan Uni-versities.
Dr. G. A. Bennett of Jefferson, working with Dr. J. R. Moore, orthopedic specialist of Temple, succeeded in the successful transplan-tation of a large portion of the semitendinosus muscle, heretofore considered a very difficult or impossible procedure.
Dr. Bennett's studies showed that an in-scription divides this important thigh muscle and that each part has a separate nerve and blood supply. Working with a 12-year-old lad, a victim of poliomyelitis who could not extend the leg on the thigh, Dr. Bennett trans-planted the lower segment of the semitendi-nosus, attaching the lower end to the patella and the upper end to the sheath of the rectus
femoris. The boy now can bend his leg and walk almost normally.
Formerly the only operation which gave partial relief in such cases was the conversion of a "ham-string muscle" into an extensor by attachment to the patella. Dr. Bennett and his associates vision use of this new knowledge following certain traumatic injuries to leg muscles during the war.
Dr. Bennett recently discovered a hitherto unknown nerve which supplies the intrinsic muscles of the tongue, described as a branch of the hypoglossal nerve.
Dr. A. J. Ramsay is working with the histo-logical aspect of pancreatic secretion, and with Dr. Bennett is working on the mechanism and pathways of thyroid gland lymphatics. Dr. N. R. Varano, a Ross Patterson Fellow, described a case of situs inversus of the viscera.
Dr. M. T. Horwitz published a paper on the venous circulation and patho-mechanics of Dupuytren's contracture and Volkmann's contracture, the latter often being seen in war injuries. Dr. N. A. Michaels published a paper concerning his work on the spleen and splenic artery.

year men sweltered in summer classes, their terms beginning in July and ending in March. The Second and Third year terms began in September and will end in Apri. A course previously designed for 48 months now can be completed in 33 months, although the same amount of time will be spent in classes. Vacations will be shorter and most holiday periods have been eliminated.
Tropical Medicine has been added to the curriculum of the Third and Fourth year classes to give the men training in something which may prove of much value, especially to young doctors assigned to the tropics.
During the year Dean W. H. Perkins urged every student to apply for a commission in the Army or Navy Reserve Corps and the response has been almost 100 per cent. Men in the Army reserves have a temporary 2nd Lieutenant's rating and those in Navy reserves have the rank of Ensign. Many others in the Reserve Officers Training Corps upon gradua-tion will receive commissions as 1st Lieutenants in the Officers Reserve Corps.
Elaborate and efficient air-raid precautions have been taken, with wardens appointed, con-gregating points designated and evacuation plans completed in case of a real raid. Red barrels of sand, new rakes and many fire extinguishers have been placed throughout the school and hospital.
Dr. Hayward R. Hamrick, director of the hospital, said that until late fall only about 30 per cent of the doctors on the staff had been called for medical service, Jefferson being
about the national average. Department heads, associates and instructors were included, and although their loss is keenly felt, satisfac-tory substitutions have been made.
Likewise nursing facilities have been affected, with 40 per cent of the staff and many private duty nurses taken. Outside registers must be used constantly to keep the staff intact. Dr. Hamrick considers Jefferson fortunate in hav-ing a nursing school with student nurses available for general hospital duty. There has been no speed-up in the nursing school.
A very helpful contribution to Jefferson's war effort has been the work of the "Gray Ladies" and the Nurses Aides of the American Red Cross whose daily activities have greatly lightened the burdens of the overworked staff.
A shortage of supplies such as drugs, oper-ating-room equipment and the like is develop-ing, but has not become acute since the hospital works on a nine-months' inventory basis for drugs. In the months to come priorities are expected to make certain valuable medical tools and instruments almost unobtain-able. Everyone has been urged to conserve supplies.
Two operating rooms and two delivery rooms have complete blackout facilities and emer-gency work can go on perfectly. In case of air raid or other emergency, an external and internal staff of doctors, nurses, orderlies and other assistants already have been assigned duties. The huge Curtis Clinic building has been blacked out so as to enable the hospital to handle a large number of possible air raid victims there.
A significant change has been in the Jefferson internship, with the 27-month term being reduced to 12 months. It is expected legisla-tion will approve a plan for Jefferson men to begin an internship on April 1st instead of July 1st as now required by law. Members of the class are hoping their internship will be no less than a year, not to stay out of military service longer, but in order to learn the practical side of the things they have been reading in books for so many years, thus better serving the country, the fighting forces and the profession.

During the year Dean W. H. Perkins urged every student to apply for a commission in the Army or Navy Reserve Corps and the response has been almost 100 per cent. Men in the Army reserves have a temporary 2nd Lieutenant's rating and those in Navy reserves have the rank of Ensign. Many others in the Reserve Officers Training Corps upon gradua-tion will receive commissions as 1st Lieutenants in the Officers Reserve Corps.
Elaborate and efficient air-raid precautions have been taken, with wardens appointed, con-gregating points designated and evacuation plans completed in case of a real raid. Red barrels of sand, new rakes and many fire extinguishers have been placed throughout the school and hospital.
Dr. Hayward R. Hamrick, director of the hospital, said that until late fall only about 30 per cent of the doctors on the staff had been called for medical service, Jefferson being
about the national average. Department heads, associates and instructors were included, and although their loss is keenly felt, satisfac-tory substitutions have been made.
Likewise nursing facilities have been affected, with 40 per cent of the staff and many private duty nurses taken. Outside registers must be used constantly to keep the staff intact. Dr. Hamrick considers Jefferson fortunate in hav-ing a nursing school with student nurses available for general hospital duty. There has been no speed-up in the nursing school.
A very helpful contribution to Jefferson's war effort has been the work of the "Gray Ladies" and the Nurses Aides of the American Red Cross whose daily activities have greatly lightened the burdens of the overworked staff.
A shortage of supplies such as drugs, oper-ating-room equipment and the like is develop-ing, but has not become acute since the hospital works on a nine-months' inventory basis for drugs. In the months to come priorities are expected to make certain valuable medical tools and instruments almost unobtain-able. Everyone has been urged to conserve supplies.
Two operating rooms and two delivery rooms have complete blackout facilities and emer-gency work can go on perfectly. In case of air raid or other emergency, an external and internal staff of doctors, nurses, orderlies and other assistants already have been assigned duties. The huge Curtis Clinic building has been blacked out so as to enable the hospital to handle a large number of possible air raid victims there.
A significant change has been in the Jefferson internship, with the 27-month term being reduced to 12 months. It is expected legisla-tion will approve a plan for Jefferson men to begin an internship on April 1st instead of July 1st as now required by law. Members of the class are hoping their internship will be no less than a year, not to stay out of military service longer, but in order to learn the practical side of the things they have been reading in books for so many years, thus better serving the country, the fighting forces and the profession.

ALUMNI IN SERVICE This page of THE CLINIC is dedicated to Jefferson alumni who are serving with the Armed Forces of the United States.
At the present time more than 600 Jefferson graduates are in the Service. It was origi-nally intended to publish a list of their names, but lack of space prohibits this. Instead of listing their names we sa-lute them and proudly recall the following facts about Jef-ferson.
Alumni of Jefferson have served the United States in the Civil War, the Spanish-Amer-ican War, the Mexican War, the First World War, and the Present War.
Two notable Jefferson men who served in the Civil War were S. Weir Mitchell and W. W. Keen. W. W. Keen was a medical officer in the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and the First World War.
Jonathan Letterman, Class of '49, was Medical Director of the Army of the Potomac during the Civil War. He de-veloped and successfully used a system for removing wounded from the battlefield. This hitherto had been called impossible.
During the First World War there were approximately 5,000 living graduates of Jef-ferson. Of these men 1,435 were in either the Army or the Navy. Classes were repre-sented from 1862 to 1918. From 1875 to 1918 inclusive every class was represented. Twenty-seven of these men gave their lives for their country.
Jefferson was one of the first colleges to organize a medical R. 0. T. C. unit when, in 1920, the War Department developed the plan of adding this course to college curricula.
During the past fifty years Jefferson has had three Sur-geon Generals, including the present Surgeon Magee of the United States Army.
Jefferson has always re-sponded promptly whenever military duty called. Out of a rich list of men and deeds it is possible to mention only a few. The history of the Present War is as yet unwrit-ten, but we know in advance that Jefferson will uphold the glorious traditions of the past.

FRATERNITY LIFE
THESE words are not written as a defense of "the Fraternity System in Graduate Schools" or for any other lofty reason,
they are merely to tell people exactly what position, in this educational structure, the fraternity holds. Sometimes a rather distorted picture of fraternity life is presented by the talk of fraternity men. One hears tales of the rather rowdy goings on at one party and the amusing experiences of the year because these things make for good telling. The basic func-tions of the fraternity, Supervised Study, Living Conditions, Eating Facilities, and the Social Aid a fraternity gives to its new men make dull dinner table conversation and as such are seldom talked about.
When a man first arrives at a graduate school the procedures are foreign to him, and the professors are unknown personalities. The fraternities, through their upperclassmen, speedily untangle this back-lashed reel and quickly make those first few tentative casts into work possible. After a few smoker ses-sions the professors become distinct person-alities and as such approachable and under standable. Thus the new student feels at ease
in almost no time. Then the work begins in earnest and the fraternities tune in again. There are regular Quiz sessions the evenings before the professors' quiz in Osteology and other subjects. There are scholarship com-mittees set up in the houses to follow every student's progress and if any difficulties arise an upperclassman will take on the duties of a private instructor until things are again under control. Then, too, there are the collections of previous examinations, for the past 10 years or more, which are used to prepare for each important exam. These are a few of the ways in which fraternities aid the student scholas-tically.
The living conditions in each fraternity vary but there is one thing they all have in common. The student is living in a house not a room and the difference is very great. Before mealtime the group gathers in the living rooms to talk and read the evening papers; after dinner to listen to the radio before beginning to study. These rooms also give everyone a place to entertain guests without disturbing the other members.

its regularity of study hours and sleeping hours. It is difficult to sit and read a paper or go to a movie when everyone else in the group 's at work. It is also hard to resist turning in for the evening when your classmates are getting ready for bed. These two principals aid greatly in making sure that each student gets enough rest and does enough work. There is also a great lift, when the going gets hard, in being able to look around and see 10 other men going through the same work and tension.
With regards to the eating facilities the fraternities are uniformly well provided and the center of the fraternity's life can truly be said to be its dining room. Each house hires its cook, waiters and help, but one of the men of the fraternity supervises all purchasing and planning of meals. This arrangement makes possible adequate wholesome meals at regular hours and at considerable less cost than like meals taken in restaurants.
There are many social advantages which a fraternity brings to its members. Probably the most important of these is the way the constant discussions in a fraternity house change the layman who enters into the physi-cian who leaves. The man who enters medical school must learn a new language and it is here that its constant use becomes second nature to him. Here in his everyday life he learns and practices the rudiments of profes-sional courtesy and acquaints himself with the duties and obligations which his profession demands.
Saturday nights the fraternities turn from work and study to relaxation. These parties are usually informal get-togethers, which serve to relax the tension built up over the week and send everyone back to work on Monday re-freshed and eager for the job. Formal dances and banquets are held four or five times every year. They are usually spaced so that friends from home can attend and they afford a pleasant break in the routine of the school year.
If these few notes have given a more com-plete picture of fraternity life in a graduate school then their inclusion in this book is justified. To my mind the educational ad-vantages of fraternity life are great and the intellectual and social training, in the demo-cratic processes, which they give to their members make them an integral part of post-graduate education.

ALPHA KAPPA KAPPA Medical Fraternity was founded September 29, 1888, at Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire. Twelve years later, on January 6, 1900, Epsilon Chapter was instituted at the Jefferson Medical
College, Philadelphia, Pa. The first meetings of Epsilon Chapter were held in the rooms of two students
living at 1108 Girard Street. Then in 1902 the chapter moved into its first chap-ter house at 1200 Locust Street where the members ate, studied, and slept, and the house was furnished exclusively by honorary members, graduating members, and active members. Subsequently, the chapter occupied many rented houses until in 1921 the present house at 317 South Eleventh Street was purchased. This house has an interesting historical background, as it is built on the site of the old Phila-delphia Almshouse, the scene of the reunion of the two Arcadian sweethearts of Longfellow's "Evangeline."

RHO CHAPTER of Nu Sigma Nu was established in 1900. The fraternity was founded at the University of Michigan Medical School in 1882, one of the charter members being the immortal William J. Mayo. Doctor IIarvey
Cushing became a member of the Beta Beta Chapter at Johns Hopkins in 1907 and Sir William Osler in 1909. Many other pillars of medical education add prestige, honor, and tradition to Nu Sigma Nu by their membership. In naming a few, one includes Hans Zinsser, Fredrich Novy, Torald Sollman, Allan B. Kanovel, Frederick Christopher, Rudolph Matas, Albert J. Ochsner, William H. Park, and Dean Lewis.
Foremost among the purposes and ideals of the founders was the establishment of a fraternity which would inspire scholarship and further the advancement of medical science. Rho Chapter has always been among the leaders in the academic, professional, and social affairs of Jefferson Medical College. The roll call now bears the names of four hundred and forty-eight initiates.
In Memoriam: "A man's individuality is something too elusive to put into words, particularly if he was the sort of person who was never seen out front, but who always chose to stand inconspicuously at the back of the house, where with humor and tolerance he could get a better view of the world's stage."—Cushing.

pHI ALPHA SIGMA Fraternity was founded in April, 1886, at Bellevue Hos-pital Medical College. The same year Kappa Delta Phi merged with and thus became a part of Phi Alpha Sigma. Delta Chapter was established at Jeffer-
son on January 14, 1889, with the initiation of fifteen charter members. We are proud to point to the fact that Phi Alpha Sigma was the first social fraternity to be established at Jefferson. The first chapter house was located at 1033 Walnut Street. This house soon became too small to accommodate the members, so a larger house was secured on Spruce Street, where the chapter remained for several years. Increasing membership and prosperity again demanded a new location, and the chapter moved to Clinton Street, one of the oldest residential streets in Philadel-phia, where it remained until 1935. In that year the fraternity arranged to absorb the local chapter of Omega Upsilon Phi, and moved to 313 South Tenth Street, where it is now located.
The membership of the fraternity exceeds three thousand, Delta Chapter over five hundred alumni of Jefferson, and the present number of active members is fifty-four.
Delta Chapter lost an honored friend and brother, the late Dean Ross V. Pat-terson, when he died in May of 1938.
pHI ALPHA SIGMA Fraternity was founded in April, 1886, at Bellevue Hos-pital Medical College. The same year Kappa Delta Phi merged with and thus became a part of Phi Alpha Sigma. Delta Chapter was established at Jeffer-
son on January 14, 1889, with the initiation of fifteen charter members. We are proud to point to the fact that Phi Alpha Sigma was the first social fraternity to be established at Jefferson. The first chapter house was located at 1033 Walnut Street. This house soon became too small to accommodate the members, so a larger house was secured on Spruce Street, where the chapter remained for several years. Increasing membership and prosperity again demanded a new location, and the chapter moved to Clinton Street, one of the oldest residential streets in Philadel-phia, where it remained until 1935.

pHI BETA PI Fraternity was organized on March 10, 1891, at the University of Pittsburgh by a group of medical students who, because of the fraternity situation at the time, banded together as an anti-fraternity organization. From
this singular incipience, the fraternity has grown to one of the largest and strongest medical fraternities in the profession. At the present time there are thirty-eight active chapters with an active enrollment of about twelve hundred men. In 1932 the amalgamation of the former Omega Phi national organization did much to increase the national membership which nears the twenty thousand mark at present.
The Eta Chapter was founded on March 7, 1902 and since that time has been an inspiration to its members at Jefferson. Since its beginning the Eta Chapter has produced an alumni of some five hundred and fifty men of which one hundred and twenty-five are in the Philadelphia district. The Fraternity is well represented in the faculty of the college, one member of which, Dr. C. M. Gruber, is now the National Archon and a very active counselor of both local and national fraternities.
With an enviable record for the promotion of social mental and scholastic devel-opment may the fifty-one years of its development be only a foundation for a very progressive future.

IN 1904, the first chapter of Phi Delta Epsilon was started by several students at Cornell University Medical College. Following that modest beginning, chap-ters rapidly began to be organized in medical schools throughout the country.
There are now fifty-four chapters in the United States and Canada, with Graduate Clubs in most of the large cities in these and other countries.
The Jefferson Chapter, Mu, was organized by eight students on November 15, 1911. The first fraternity house was located at 631 Spruce Street. In 1924, the fra-ternity moved to 910 Pine Street. The present house, at 1033 Spruce Street, was taken over by the fraternity in 1932.
The chapter at Jefferson was instrumental in the founding of chapters in each of the other medical schools in Philadelphia. The graduates of Chapter Mu have always been active in the national affairs of the fraternity; two of its members, David W. Kramer and Nathan Blumberg, have held the highest office in the fraternity, that of Grand Consul.
Phi Delta Epsilon is proud of the contributions which many of its members have made toward the advancement of medical science. Morris Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the A. M. A. and other important medical publications, is note-worthy among these men.
This year finds increasing numbers of Phi Delta Epsilon men faithfully serv-ing our country at home and abroad in the present world conflict. ". . . Phi Delta Epsilon stands for equality among men, for a high standard of morality and for a high conception of medical and worldly ethics . . . "

THE PHI CHI Medical Fraternity, Incorporated, was established in 1905 by the union of the Eastern and Southern Phi Chi Fraternities. The Eastern Fra-ternity was founded in 1889, and the Southern in 1894. At present the Frater-
nity has sixty-seven active chapters located in the United States and Canada, with a total membership of over twenty-two thousand.
Chi of Phi Chi was organized December 9, 1903, through the efforts of John Ward, a transfer student from the University of Louisville Medical School, and Harry M. Carey. As a result of their efforts seven men were initiated December 9, 1903. By the end of the first six months the chapter roll had increased to thirty members, with the addition of five members of Phi Chi who held positions on the faculty at Jefferson.
During the first year there was no chapter house and meetings were held in the rooms of the various members. On February 16, 1904, Chi Chapter was granted a national charter, the ninth of the fraternity, and soon a house was rented on South Tenth Street. This house was used until May 12, 1920, when the present house at 1025 Spruce Street was purchased.
Following examples set by other chapters of Phi Chi, the Chi Chapter is now one of the largest and most active fraternities on the Jefferson campus.
The Chapter is governed by a Board of Trustees, at present composed of Dr. Rankin, Dr. Kaufman, and Dr. Gordon.

THE history of Rho Chapter of Phi Rho Sigma extends back a period of thirty-nine years. The national fraternity was founded in 1890 with the threefold purpose of promoting good fellowship among congenial men of medical col-
leges, encouraging a high standard of professional work, and assisting by every honorable means in the advancement of its members.
By 1905 we find its chapters spread from coast to coast. On February 27th of this same year, a group of men under the tutelage of the Faculty of Jefferson Medi-cal College, was granted a chapter as the Rho Chapter of Phi Rho Sigma.
The original chapter house was located at 701 Pine Street but due to rapid growth more spacious quarters were obtained at 1015 Pine Street. Before the first World War the house was moved to 305 South Eleventh Street and then again to 309 South Twelfth Street. Then came the War, with Lindsey Whiteside, an alumnus of Jef-ferson and a member of Rho Chapter, the only officer of the U. S. A. M. C. to fall in the line of active duty. It would be necessary to call the roll of the Alumni mem-bers to compile a list of other members of Rho who aided their country at this time.
Rho Chapter has followed the pace of the mother organization and today is one of Jefferson's most active student groups.
At the present time its home is at 911 Clinton Street. The group remains as of old, a community of scholars and gentlemen engaged in the arduous task of fitting themselves to be representative exponents of the art and science of medicine.

THETA KAPPA PSI has existed since 1897. It was founded that year at New Haven, Connecticut. The medical school of the University of Mary was quick to petition for a charter in the organization and its establishment in other medi-
cal schools all over the Nation took place with rapid steps. In 1925 Kappa Psi, as the fraternity was then called, split into two separate
organizations: a group of pharmacy chapters retained the name Kappa Psi, and the medical chapters reorganized into a separate fraternity called Theta Kappa Psi.
The Beta Eta Chapter of Kappa Psi was installed at Jefferson on April 20, 1912. There were thirteen charter members of the chapter, and it was largely their enthusiasm that was responsible for the early success of the organization.
The first house that the Beta Eta Chapter occupied was located at 922 Spruce Street. The residents of that house have always claimed that the indurated and undulating mattresses were by far the most outstanding feature of the first chapter house. The fraternity moved as it grew. Its present location is at 919 Clinton Street.
At Jefferson, Theta Kappa Psi has organized and sustained the Moon Patho-logical Society and the Bland Obstetrical Society. The latter society was renamed Vaux Obstetrical Society at the request of Dr. Bland.
Beta Eta Chapter had thirty-six active members this year, and it had ten brothers on the faculty at Jefferson. The chapter was especially pleased this year to welcome Dr. Perkins, Grand Councilor of the Fraternity, when he returned to Jefferson as Dean.

ALPHA OMEGA ALPHA, a non-secret, Medical College Honor Society, repre-sents to the Medical school what Phi Beta Kappa does to the liberal arts col-lege and Sigma Xi to the schools of physical and natural sciences. It was organ-
ized in 1902 at the College of Medicine of the University of Illinois, Chicago, by William W. Root, a student then entering his junior year at that institution.
The Jefferson Chapter, the first in the East, and fifth in the country, was founded in 1903, being preceded by Rush Medical College, Northwestern and Western Re-serve. The early growth of Alpha Omega Alpha was slow, this because the organi-zation declined to establish chapters in any but the better schools where adequate personnel, equipment and research were prominent. However, after forty years of consistent growth the organization is still a stimulus to student effort in the years of medical training, There are now forty-seven active chapters in the foremost medical schools of United States and Canada.
It is at present customary at Jefferson that six men of the Junior class and nine Seniors, all fulfilling certain scholastic requirements, are elected annually by members of their respective classes. The men chosen are selected on the basis of: scholarship, promise, incentive and integrity.

FRANKLIN D. ZIMMERMAN RICHARD S. JACKSON WILLIAM R. O'BRIEN
THE Senior Council of the 1943 Class was the first of its kind to be organized in the Jefferson Medical College. The initial
meeting was held in the early part of the Senior year, comprising members who were selected very carefully. One was from each fraternal order and two from non-fraternal groups to represent them on the important matters that were to concern, personally, each and every classman.
The prime purposes were to gather from time to time to transact Senior Class business, elect and appoint chairman and members of the various necessary committees. Other pur-poses of this Council were to discuss and decide on important matters concerning the 1943 CLINIC.
In addition to the above, the Council served as a mediator between the class and the fac-ulty members in order to suggest and discuss difficulties that may arise. The suggestions of the class were offered at different intervals to be accepted or refused by the faculty as they saw advisable to improve Jefferson above her already excelled standing. In this respect there was a more friendly relationship and mutual feeling between the students and the faculty members. The council may in the future also act as a Dean's Receptive Commit-tee for the incoming freshmen in helping them become better acquainted with the College, faculty, and upperclassmen.

BLACK AND BLUE BALL
THE Black and Blue Ball has come and gone in traditional Jefferson style and was adjudged a glowing success despite
the war, a faculty boycott, the cold weather, and other handicaps.
Held on December 6, 1942 in the Broad-wood's gayest room, the school's annual ball was a combination K.-B. terpsichorean ex-hibit, endurance contest, and display of Phila-delphia pulchitrude and merrymaking medics.
Several hundred couples swirled and swayed to Teagarden tunes, made rhythm to his rhumbas and intermissioned to special num-bers sung sweet, hot and low by Teagarden's beauteous blonde, Esther Todd, torch singing vocalist par excellance.
That it was a success we soon will offer proof without fear of successful contradiction. Sugar was rationed, but sweetness was there; coffee was rationed, but many stayed awake till
dawn; rubber was rationed, but . . . heck, this is no place to take up politics.
With five exceptions, the faculty was ab-sent. Despite the boycott, or some say be-cause of it, there were fewer inebriates, cases of ethylism and plain old Saturday night drunks at the dance than in many years.
Three days before the B. & B. government stores announced a liquor shortage which may be interpreted in two ways, that there was an actual shortage or that B. & B. patrons bought a few refreshments for their week-end needs. The shortage may have had something to do with the fact that the police blotter at City Hall was entirely clean so far as Jeff men were concerned and that all the men had returned to classes at least by the following Tuesday.

or with the Unit overseas, which may plausi-bly explain that most of the faculty young enough to do any merrymaking are off to the war, and there was no voluntary boycott after all.
High officials, qualified observers, B. & B. spokesmen and other unimpeachable sources, to use communique phraseology, said the gals were really the most gorgeous ever seen at the Black and Blue. Some of the gowns were positively revealing. Orchids were as thick as dandelions in the spring, with a few double or triple orchids here and there; gardenias and roses were also abundant. And the lads, bless 'em, were as stunning and handsome as any penguin or Brummel ever thought himself to be. The 3 A. M. communique said that by 2:59 A. M. only two girls and 13 boys had fallen at any time during the evening and that in over half the cases they had been "pushed." This figure was 248 per cent better than any other Black and Blue.
There was not a single fight to mar the evening, although the war cry, "Wolf, wolf," made the welkin (or whatever rings) ring occa-sionally. No bottles were thrown, although a few (empty ones) were dropped, and a few got away from their owners. As for "crime," there just wasn't any. Police riot squads
assigned to "attend" the affair became dis-gusted after 1 A. M. and went back to their checker games. Jeff boys were so sober when it was over that marines, sailors and army men in the Broadwood lobby were not able to get away with a single girl, although it can't be said they didn't try.
Financially, the ball was a success. That is to say it was not a calamity. Kappa Beta Phi heads, sponsors of the Black and Blue, said it could be considered a success in that they almost broke even and only had to "dig" for a reasonable amount.
For further proof of the success of the Black and Blue Ball we quote some of the dignitaries and leading lights:
Stewart Inglis Adam: "It was wonderful, scientific and modern, too. I was amazed at the rocking motion the hotel had given the dance floor."
Edward Andrew Norton: "What I enjoyed most was the unique way the lights whirled around the room, and the way my table was always changed to the other end of the room."
Bernard Rossman: "If I had been there, I would have enjoyed that last gesture at free-dom." (ED. NOTE: Bernie married his danc-ing partner the next week.)

Dr. Tourish: "I had a 'full' evening, but the Black and Blue was. only an appetizer for an emergency appendectomy at St. Mary's, followed by a case of acute intestinal obstruc-tion at Jeff the same evening."
Theodore Herman Durr, Jr.'s girl friend, Ruth: "I just can't understand what hap-pened to Teddy . . . after all the things he told me." (En. NOTE: the gallon jug of foamy liquid, labelled "24-hour addis count," was only a part of the mischievous Durr's program.)
Clifford Conwell Byrum: "I can't under-stand why I got so sleepy, especially after 4
o'clock in the morning" . . . which is a secret he may never know. Before then he and Ruth danced 31 m.p.h. faster than anyone else.
Dr. Guy Nelson: "It's better late than never." Jack Alexander Crawford, Jr.: "It will prob-

Jefferson Blacks
THE Jefferson "Blacks" took an early hold on the cellar position in the Y. M. C. A.'s Profes-sional College Students' Basketball League, but recently have shown much promise to finish near the top. In their first engagement with the "Blues," the "Blacks" held their rivals down
during the first half, but their colored opponents went out in front in the fourth period to win out, 28-22.
Led by Captain Bob Porterfield, the squad is composed of all Juniors with the exception of one Sophomore. The forward positions found Kelleher, Butt, Steele, and Van Gundy alternating in the starting line-up. Sturdy Johnny Kelleher proved to be the ball hawk of the club and Max Steele showed up as one of the team's best all-round ball players. Frank Butt and Van Gundy were the men that Coach Durb Southard depended upon for getting those few added very much needed points in the pinches. Sharing equal honors at center were Jacobson and Brewer, both showing up well on defense and chalking up their share of points on the score sheet. Playing at guard Porterfield was definitely outstanding and provided the spark and punch needed by every good ball club. Also roaming in the back court were Bland, McLaughlin, and Revelli.
In their first encounter with Hahnemann Medical College, the "Blacks" finished on the long end of a low scoring game, 18-14.

Jefferson Blues
SUFFERING the loss of four seniors from the squad by graduation the Jefferson "Blues" started out the season with a quintet admittedly even stronger than that of last season when the team finished at the top of the Y. M. C. A. Professional College Students Basketball
League, winning fifteen and losing but four games. League competition was keener this year than last and newcomers to the League included
Philadelphia College of Optometry, Temple College of Chiropody, Temple School of Pharmacy, and Drexel.
Leading the attack was "Red" Parry, former stellar guard from Lafayette College, and voted most valuable player last year by the "Blues." Teamed with Parry at the other guard position, Ted Berry, who starred in Basketball and Track at La Salle, showed his opponents his usual keen eye and excellent floor game. Penn State's tall and rangy Ed Norton, a veteran of three years, held down his usual post at center. Six feet one inch tall, Jack McGinty, who formerly sparkled for the varsity of Bethlehem College, was lost to the "Blues" in the first quarter of the second game of the season against Hahnemann. Sustaining a dislocation of a semilunar cartilage of the left knee, McGinty finished out the game against the advice of the team physician, Wyan Wash-burn. Play-manager Jack Stanton, former La Salle College boy, was always a scoring threat at his usual position at the other slot in tin forward wall.

Leading the attack was "Red" Parry, former stellar guard from Lafayette College, and voted most valuable player last year by the "Blues." Teamed with Parry at the other guard position, Ted Berry, who starred in Basketball and Track at La Salle, showed his opponents his usual keen eye and excellent floor game. Penn State's tall and rangy Ed Norton, a veteran of three years, held down his usual post at center. Six feet one inch tall, Jack McGinty, who formerly sparkled for the varsity of Bethlehem College, was lost to the "Blues" in the first quarter of the second game of the season against Hahnemann. Sustaining a dislocation of a semilunar cartilage of the left knee, McGinty finished out the game against the advice of the team physician, Wyan Wash-burn. Play-manager Jack Stanton, former La Salle College boy, was always a scoring threat at his usual position at the other slot in tha forward wall.

How Long Has This Catheter Been In?
or Where Is the Patient's Urine?
It is 9:09 a. in. Twenty-three seniors are milling about the doors of the Urology Ward. Some are aimlessly thumbing through charts. Others are flipping through the assignment file hoping that they haven't been given a new patient and that there aren't any more "P. S. P.'s" to do. The rest pick their teeth, or swap the latest limerick, or see what Dag-wood did in the funnies. All of them wonder how they ever arrived at nine o'clock. (How, not why—they know darned right well why!)
And then at 9:10 a. m. a trim figure in a white ward coat steps up and, fingering his neat white mustache, says: "Well, good morn-ing!" Then verily the chattering stoppeth, the students spread apart and the professor of Urology strides into the ward. The patients pull the covers over their heads and pretend to snore. But it's no use because he makes for a bed that is covered over with a maze of antiseptic bottles, glass tubing, mercury ma-nometers, rubber tubing, and an air raid siren. "A-ha," he says, "we'll start here and work all around the ward. Yes, all around the ward."
There is an awesome silence as the students—
that is the seniors—gather 'round the bed. "Humph-humph," he grunts, "whose patient is this?" More silence. "Well, Dr. Moore. Dr. Moore, has anyone been assigned to this case?"
"Yes, sir. Adam." "He's sick," chorus the loyal Phi. Chi's. "Oh, I thought perchance the Obstetrics
Department might be engaging him." With that the elevator doors clatter and a
ball of red with a tail of white streaks into the group. It's Adam.
"Gee, I'm sorry I'm late. I was waiting for the elevator."
"Well," purrs the professor, "what a remark-able recovery."
Snickers and uneasy shuffling of feet are heard from the Phi Chi's, one of whom gives Adam a swift kick in the pants.
"Yes, remarkable, but Dr. Adam, if you don't feel too weak, suppose you tell us about this patient." As the victim moves to the head of the bed two seniors wrench their necks trying to see what teacher put in his black book. But to no avail, for he flips it

shut, taps his pencil into it, and packs it away in his coat pocket, saving: "Well, what are we waiting for? Proceed."
"Well," starts Adam, "this is a 93-year-old Bolivian blivet maker. He enjoyed the best of health except for eight doses of gonorrhea, tuberculosis, double syphilis, gran chaco crud, and a touch of tsutsugamushi fever. Then last year he swallowed his false teeth. Since then he hasn't felt so well. He complains of dys-pepsia, backache, headache, hematuria, pru-ritis, pyrosis, pyuria, apocryphal neuroses, frequency, constipation, hemoptysis, cordee, anorexia, and a don't care attitude. Two weeks ago his condition bothered him a little so he came into the Urology Out-patient Department. Dr. Bogave and Dr. Lit examined him and right after that he was admitted to the ward in shock, retention, coma, and severe angina of the lower pectoris."
"Rather unusual circumstances," says Herr P., "yes, rather unusual. Well now, Mr. Adam, what was done for the patient?"
"Well, he didn't have any tonsillitis and that ruled out arthritis. He had flaring alae but his sputum looked like prune juice so I guess it wasn't pneumonia. It might have been T. A. 0., but I left my oscillometer home so I couldn't tell if it was. Then Dr. Ho felt the prostate and it was about the size of a grapefruit."
"Well, now, a grapefruit, yes, a grapefruit! Mr. Adam have you ever sailed a one and a half masted yacht through the Everglades?"
"Oh, yes sir, lots of times!" "Well, didn't you ever notice that there were
all sorts of grapefruits, some big, some small, some ripe, some rotten?"
"Yes, sir." "Well, be a little more accurate. Then, how
large was this man's prostate?" "Gosh, I don't know. I guess it was as big
as a big grapefruit." "That's more like it. Now, have you felt
this prostate?" "Well, not exactly—er—uh—no, I haven't." "O-o-o-ooh! You haven't felt the prostate.
Why not, why not?" "Gee, I know I should have, but when Dr.
Ho did the rectal something bit him." "Something bit him? ! ? Well, that is ex-
traordinary. Dr. Moore, bring me a glove." When the glove arrives, it is meticulously
snapped over a lean, skilled hand. With two quick strokes the bed covers are drawn back and the patient's legs are spread apart. Then with a rapid flip the master's gloved index finger is slipped into the rectum. There is an unholy scream from the patient and a large set of false teeth are withdrawn by their hinges.
"There, gentlemen," beams the professor, "that just shows that it's best to go at things from behind rather than engage in a frontal attack. That's why rectal examination is much more satisfactory than an oral examination. You're less likely to be bitten! But be that as it may, Mr. Adam, uh, pardon me, Dr. Adam, have you not neglected something?"
"I don't think so. I told all the history, and the PSP's, NPN's, CBC's, and the WPB's were essentially negative. The X-rays were negative, too, except for the teeth in the rectum."
"Well, Mr. Adam, tell me: Is this not the Urology Ward? Am I not the Professor of Urology? This isn't tropical medicine or pedi-atrics, is it? NO! Then where in the name of albumin and casts is the patient's yerine? What's his yerine show, that's what we want to know!"
"I—I—I—I didn't see it. I'm allergic to urine!"
"Allergic to it, well—." "Pardon me, Dr. Davie," pipes Garcia, "but
I would like to mention that I have two cousins in Puerto Rica with that very same condition."
"Extraordinary, extraordinary, indeed. But our time is up. Uh, Doctor Adams, before we leave let me ask one more question."
"Yes, sir," gulps Adam who by this time is covered with uremic frost.
"You are a citizen of these United States of ours?"
"Yes, I think so." "Well, then, suppose you take advantage of
the many opportunities afforded you in this great democracy of ours. Make this ward your gymnasium. Come up, work out on the patients, and have a look at their yerine."

Somewhere in Won Hunglo Province, Japan, with the U. S. Army Task Force to Japan, 21st Medical Corps
Regiment, 1948.
DEAR JEFF, '43: Here is a bottle of Jap (censored) for Davy
Morgan's collection. He always complained about not having a Jap skull in the museum and it's too bad we can't send him a few of the thousands we've shot off. But the Ferry Command is too busy and besides there's a law against bringing vermin into the States.
The other day a casualty was brought in with his lungs shot up. His cough was horri-ble. One of the bearers said: "Here's another Swiss Cheese, Doc." "A Swiss Cheese with a cough," I thought, "Cheese with a cough; cheese,—cough—" "Yaas boys, caseation, caseation. This birdie had caseation in his lungs and a cough that would make your ears fly back." Memories of Davy Morgan surged up and they haven't left all day.
Remember those morning sessions he held in the little room facing Walnut Street with its slate tables and that big diagram of the mechanism of shock? Remember how he fished specimens out of those huge white crocks, chuckling: "Sounds like Atlantic City, boys, doesn't it? Yaas, sounds like Atlantic City, only this water's clean."
It was such a relief to leave the boredom of describing slides (which all looked alike any way), and go over to hear Davy Morgan speak on Morbid Anatomy. How he liked to talk about—"that old Devil Too-Burk-Q-Losis boys, yaas, the greatest subject of Too-Burk-Q-Losis!" How carefully he carried the speci-mens around the tables showing each of us their important features. "Now this tibia was eaten out by those little acid-fast devils. Ah yes, boys, there won't be any more jigs dance with that bone. No indeed, no more jigs. And these lungs came from a fella with galloping consumption; galloping consumption, boys. They call it that because the fella that's got it is galloping to the graveyard!"
Then there was moist gangrene—"A foul odor, lots of liquefaction, and toxic absorption." What kind of gangrene, boys? Gas gangrene, boys, gas gangrene. Oh my, boys, look at this
muscle, the necrosis with autolysis here is tre-mendous. Do you see these cardinal points, boys? Squeeze that muscle; it's full of gas.
When he told us this during the winter of 1940, he said: "Now when you go into active business (and I think you're going soon, yes, you're going soon), you'll have to tell your Colonel all about this." Well, we went into active business in 1943 and it's bone chilling to think of the gas gangrene we've seen since.
"Cough, cough, haawk. Ah me, boys, sounds like another post mortem, doesn't it?"
You really felt proud to have Dr. Morgan teaching you when he'd tell of his adventures at the front in 1918. "Oh, my boys, we did have a time collecting those poor soldiers with the shells singing a lullaby while we worked. Yaas, and you'll be up there soon but your pore old teacher won't be there. Ah no, I'll have a brass hat this time and sit back of the lines a couple of miles. I'll have some interest-ing papers to attend to."

On December 8, 1941, he opened up the

recruiting office offering his services. When they said he was too old and hardly fit for service, his "pore old arteriosclerotic vessels (just like old clogged-up kitchen pipes, boys)," almost burst with the head of steam he built up. Finally, the Army took him. The Surgeon-General's staff was afraid that if they didn't take him they'd end up in one of Davy's labeled glass jars or nice white crocks.
Now don't forget to send interesting parts of laps and Nazis back to the museum. Then, when the last of them has been carved up, Dr. Morgan can tell the sophomores at Jeffer-son: "Now this museum has the largest col-lection of wet specimens in the country. The Army museum used to have the largest but our boys helped us beat those fellas!"

Fourth Year Class History —(Ccatinued frcnt page 163)
with the various professors. The hours so spent, especially those with Dr. Reimann and Dr. D. M. Davis, are to be remembered for many reasons. A certain uneasiness always prevailed when a group of students was anticipating such a session. They knew they would receive a gruelling; they knew that they were likely to be called to task, for these are exact and meticulous teachers. They knew that if they erred with Dr. Reimann, he would reply, "Why do you say that? Preposterous! Next man." And then when his first session on the medical wards with a group of students is completed, he 'is accustomed to say, "Now you see what I expect—everything!" And all his students realize that he means this to the letter. Is there any wonder that he is often referred to as "the thinking machine"?
Much the same story applies to Dr. Davis. Almost every Jefferson senior has felt the impetus of his cut-ting remarks. He inspires us, to be sure, but at the same time he makes us feel more than a little hum-ble. Said he to one of our classmates: "Mr. Cos-tello, have you ever studied Latin? Oh, you have, have you? Hmmm Then suppose you tell us the meaning of the word 'doctor.' Why, Mr. Costello! A doctor is a learned man! Amazing, your lack of knowledge. But, be that as it may, you say this patient has had a cystectomy. Now, suppose you tell us the indicatons for cystectomy. You mean you don't know, Mr. Costello? Then, suppose you prepare
to give us a little talk on that subject next week."
Well, it was obvious that "Stinky" got under Pat's skin; indeed, he did more than that, for Pat became a very studious young man for several days there-after, working industriously in the library on the subject of cystectomy. And not only that, for Pat wrote a series of amusing skits about his inspiring teacher which he has presented on several occasions for the entertainment of his fraternity brothers in the Nu Sigma Nu house. Furthermore, it was not long before the Urology department heard about this, with the result that one morning as Pat entered the ward, he was accosted by Dr. Moore, who remarked, "Well, Mr. Costello, I understand you are quite an actor."
So it was that the senior year progressed, the sec-ond of the great clinical years. Each passing day added more to our medical education and brought us closer to that day-of-all-days when we were to take and accept, with all its implications, the Hippocratic oath, and to have conferred upon us that coveted title—Doctor of Medicine. Mirabile dictu!
"The Moving Finger writes; and having writ
Moves on; Nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."
