Medical School
THE NEXT SESSION for the School is tentatively scheduled to coincide with that of the College, which may open May 25. This plan will maintain synchronism with the departmental courses; will enable the first-year class of seniors in absentia to finish with the first groups to graduate; and will carry forward all students at a rate at least as rapid as that of any fouryear school which cooperates by continuing Dartmouth men in the third year.
The present second-year class of twentyfour men will probably receive their diplomas on May 10 with the College seniors. All have decided where they will continue: Elmer L. Crehan of Roxbury, Massachusetts, and Robert C. Rainie of Concord, at Boston University; Sanford R. Courter of Cincinnati at the University of Cincinnati; Quentin B. Deming of New City, New York, at Columbia University; John R. Durrance of Hanover at the University of Colorado; Allen H. Keniston of Nyack, New York, at Cornell; Robert B. Sullivan of Washington, D. C., at Georgetown University; William J. Dignam of Manchester, Albert B. Ferguson Jr., of Canton, Massachusetts, Rowland B. French of Hanover, and Josiah Fuller of Canton, Massachusetts, at Harvard; Edward O. Tabor of Lowell, Massachusetts, and Willard W. Wilson of McNamee, New Brunswick, at McGill; Elliott Lifton of Hartford and Timothy Takaro of Flushing at New York University; Frank P. Brooks of Portsmouth, Kenneth E. Gross of Union, New Jersey, Robert S. Nichols of Hector, New York, and Winston K. Shorey of Lyndonville, Vermont, at the University of Pennsylvania; Theodore L. Bartelmez of Chicago and Eddy D. Palmer of Montclair at the University of Rochester; William L. Jamison of Manassas, Virginia, at the University of Virginia; Richard J. Spillane of Bloomfield, Connecticut, at Washington University; and John R. Reed of Cleveland Heights at Western Reserve.
Dawson Tyson, Yale M' 27, represented the Faculty of the School and the Surgical Staff of the Hospital at Boston University at a Staff Meeting of the Massachusetts Memorial Hospitals on January 2, speaking on "Postoperative Pulmonary Atelectasis." Dartmouth is also represented there in at least eight other ways: Channing H. Cox '01, Trustee; Howard M. Clute M'14, Professor of Surgery; Lieut. Comdr. Benjamin Tenney Jr. '21, Associate Professor of Obstetrics, on leave; Lloyd C. Fogg '22, Assistant Professor of Histology; Kenneth Christophe M' 26, Instructor in Orthopedic Surgery; Thomas J. Anglem M'28, Assistant in Surgery; Stanley T. Bloomfield M'35, Assistant in Pediatrics; and Charles S. Oliver M' 39, Interne in Medicine. How many others are there?

Lieut. John S. Lyle M'35, who has just completed a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Women's Hospital in New York, paid us a flying visit on the sixth to say that he had been ordered to Keesler Field, U. S. Army Air Corps, Biloxi, Mississippi.
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond C. Cook of Evanston on New Year's Eve announced the engagement of their daughter Mary to Edward Seymour Burge M' 32. Doctor Burge, a former member of the Grenfell staff in Newfoundland, is on the medical faculty at Northwestern and in practice in obstetrics and gynecology. Miss Cook, a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, was connected for several years with the Chicago Civic Opera Ballet.
Melville Jacobs M'28 is awaiting action from the U. S. Navy on his application for a commission in the Medical Corps. Doctor Jacobs, a roentgenologist of Los Angeles, is devoting a part of his time to research on advanced deep seated tumors, using a new 2000 kilovolt Van de Graaff tube. This apparatus, developed with the aid of the Department of Physics of the California Institute of Technology, in brief consists of a multisection porcelain tube 14 feet long, enclosed in a steel tank and insulated by 140 pounds of air pressure. The voltage is built up by spraying charges on the lower ends of two endless canvas belts which carry the charges to the high potential end of the tube.
Captain Myron Wright M'38, M.C., U. S. A., is engaged to Kathleen Hadwin Shedd, Smith '39, daughter of Professor and Mrs. Clarence Prouty Shedd of New Haven, Connecticut.

Paul C. Zamecnik M' 34, a research fellow under Dr. Max Bergmann at Rockefeller Institute, announces the birth of John on Zamecnik Day, November 22. Paul was born on that day; Mary, his wife, was born on that day; and Karen, their first, was born on that day. It sounds to me like collusion with Ripley.
