Medical School

OUR EXPERIENCE with the accelerated program has so far been very encouraging The increase in class size has crowded the laboratories; we suffered a little heat warping in the dissection room; and we wished for a bit more of the lore of the ancient Egyptians, but students and faculty have proven that they have the re- quired enteric endurance. The necessity of maintaining a program prorated on the basis of a thirty-six month total with six- teen-week semesters has forced us out of strict synchronism with the College calen- dar, which fact presents particular problems for Professors Stewart, Bolser, Connell and Ballard, who have appointments on both Faculties, but so far the vacations have been identical.

The enrollment remains the same with twenty-one in the second and twenty-four in the first, with Henry F. Kramer Jr., now restored to health, added in the second semester for a total of forty-six. The first year represents ten states, up one, with Massachusetts sending eight to New York's seven, and New Hampshire down to two. Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Minne- sota, New Jersey, Ohio, and Pennsylvania count one each. There are nine sons of physicians, but only one legacy. •

A one hundred per cent service outfit now, spending its week-ends knocking out assignments for 90 Church Street and won- dering where-to next, it is finding the en- forced civilian masquerade becoming irk- some with all the uniforms on campus.

Mrs. Milliken and Ann who accompanied him thus far have re- turned for a short visit and will go to Coeur dAlene, Idaho, for the duration.
