Philip P. Thompson M' 39 is engaged to Mary Rines, Smith '40, of Portland, Maine. Wedding plans are indefinite at the moment. His internship in medicine at Massachusetts General begins on April 1, 1942, and if he can get the date postponed he is contemplating beginning his military training immediately after graduation.

Eben Stoddard M' 39 will begin an 18 months' rotation at Salem Hospital on January 1 1942, with a little ocean sailing to make him forget that even if he couldn't see across Lake Michigan it was still fresh water.

Ben S. Read M' 33 has opened his offices at 1001 Medical Arts Building in Atlanta to practice obstetrics and gynecology.

Harry M. Lowd Jr. M' 37 is on Children's Medical at Massachusetts General and is thinking seriously about pediatrics as a practice.

Ned Shnayerson M'20 and family came to town for a holiday during January. It had been so long since the last time that he couldn't get his bearings until he came up on the Rock.

John P. Bowler M'17, our Dean and Professor of Surgery, made a clinical trip to Rochester, Minnesota, last month. In returning, he spent a day with Joseph C. Donchess, Pitt. M' 32, at Gary where he is caring for the surgical injuries of steel workers and also accumulating some very interesting statistics on the treatment of burns.

The Department of Anatomy was well represented in Florida during the holidays by Professor and Mrs. Frederic P. Lord, who were at Winter Park and Dunedin and by Professor and Mrs. Harry T. French with Rowland and Betty, who visited at Gainesville, where Doctor French's brother, Rowland, is engaged in chemical research on the faculty of the University of Florida.
