Medical School

The class of 1941 of the School has been divided up, and we see again the strange phenomenon of the waxing and waining of the popularity of four year schools which seems to be always going through recurring cycles. The distribution is as follows: Franklin Lynch Jr., of South Norwalk, Connecticut, William Sinclair Jr. of Gorham, New Hampshire, and Robert C. Storrs of Thiells, New York, to Columbia; John W. Schleicher of Verona, New Jersey, to Cornell; Stuart M. Anderson of Detroit, Michigan, to Harvard; Charles A. Pinderhughes of Washington, D. C., to Howard; Arthur B. French of Hanover to Johns Hopkins; J. Dana Darnley of Bridgeport, Connecticut, to McGill; Arthur G. Guyer of Hanover, Alfred W. Humphries of Yonkers, New York, and Percy C. Mclntire of Marlboro, New Hampshire, to New York University; Hiram H. Belding 111, of Glencoe, Illinois, and Gordon D. Stokes of Haverhill, Massachusetts, to Northwestern; Irvin L. Chipman Jr., of Wilmington, Delaware, Frank Cline Jr., of Auburn, Nebraska, Everett W. Czerny of Westfield, New Jersey, and Edwin G. Bovill Jr., of Detroit, Michigan, to Pennsylvania; and Fremont P. Koch of San Diego, California, to Washington University.

John B. Feltner M' 33 has resigned his staff appointment at Royal Victoria Hospital to join in practice with John Clendenin Eckels, Harvard M' 27 at Littleton, New Hampshire. Major Eckels has been called to active duty with the Medical Corps U. S. A. and will leave Doctor Feltner in charge during his absence.

Dwight Parkinson M' 39 was in the sports headlines at Montreal in February when he won second place in the Dominion Junior Skating Championship.

Paul L. Magnuson M'3s and Robert Birchall M' 37 became Diplomats of the National Board in New York in January.

Joseph P. Murphy M'go who is on the staffs of Brooklyn, St. Mary's, and Kings County Hospitals and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Long Island College of Medicine is expecting to begin a tour of duty in the Medical Corps, U. S. N.

J. Ellsworth Cavanagh M' 36 came up to cut a few capers on skis and got plastered on Pico Peak, we mean cast in a careless christy, that is went home with a walking caliper on his left foot because of a fractured fibula and tibial maleolus. He is reported back at work at Sloane with only a stylish limp.

George W. Zeluff M' 39 now at Columbia claims that he can hear the skirl of a distant bosun's pipe. Those who remember his early career in Bridgeport will perhaps interpret this as another manifestation of his love for the sea.

John F. Gile M'iB, our professor of Clinical Surgery, attended a meeting of the executive committee of the New England Surgical Society in Boston on March 1 and then started for Florida, meeting Mrs. Gile in Washington. They visited both the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and stopped for a few days in Virginia on the return northward.

William C. Mumler M' 36, Victor Kiarsis M' 37, Irving E. Brown Jr. M' 39, Joseph L. Pyrtek M'4o and William W. Winchester M'4o were all surviving the worst Chicago winter in years when inspected at Presbyterian and Rush by your correspondent while he was attending the meeting of the A.M.A. Council on Medical Education in February. At the same time he was able to confirm the rumor that Rush Medical College will continue as an undergraduate teaching institution under the aegis of the University of Illinois, instead of as a postgraduate medical school of the University of Chicago as was originally projected.

In looking over the signatures of those who attended the Metropolitan Dinner it is interesting to note that fifty classes were spanned between Perry S. Boynton, Sr. and Richard P. Storrs, and that there were present three Dartmouth father and son combinations in the Bake'tel, Boynton, and Storrs families. ROLF C. SYVERTSEN M' 22.
