Medical School
THE WAR CALENDAR of the College, which corresponded approximately to the proposed plan of the School, has been adopted and will permit an additional class to be graduated before the Christmas holidays. Without making any prophecies, one can, by projecting the program into the future, discover some startling data. A member of the Class of 1945, the present College freshman class, by taking maximum advantage of the possibilities of the new schedule can graduate from a fouryear medical school in the Spring of 1946, which is only one year after he would have graduated from the College under the old plan.
Jean H. Wolfs M'3B became a N.B.M.E. Diplomate in the New York October examination, and Austin R. Grant M' 39 received the highest grade in Pediatrics in the September examination.
G. Bruce Lemmon M' 39, interning at the Geisinger Memorial in Danville, Pennsylvania, is on his way into the M.C., U.S.N.R.
Uncle Sam is opposed to long engagements, so Captain Myron Wright M'3B was married to Kathleen H. Shedd, Smith '39, on January 10 at New Haven, and went on active duty at Fort Devens, his wife living in nearby Pepperell. They came to Hanover for a week-end as a second section of their honeymoon and were duly interviewed, saying that theirs was a Birch Island summer romance that had endured the test of medical school. Kendall Stearns M'3B with his oldtime flawless technique was equal to the strain of ushering even in Marquand Chapel of Yale Divinity School.
This was apparently just the beginning, for Captain Robert Birchall M' 37 was married to Nancy Nesbit Lowry on January 21 at Great Neck, and then he went to Fort Devens.

Albert C. Hatcher M'4o has signed on for the rotating service at Ancker in St. Paul.
Honors so far are equally divided at Hitchcock. Corbin Moister M'3B has been sunk for the Navy, but Dwight Parkinson M' 39 says he prefers a sidecar to an admiral's barge. Both are waiting for their commissions to receive the signature of the C. in C. John Milne M'3B had a case of paramount importance to conclude first and was married to Jean McDuff on January 31 at Pawtucket. They are living at 4 Valley Road.
Santino Fogliani Lando M'3B continues to lead a charmed life, looking neither toward blonde nor brunette, but is beginning to wonder about bell bottoms versus Sam Browne belt.
Lt. Thomas Price Jacobs M'gB says that he is directing grease monkeys at a certain location in distinct climatic contrast to Lake Louise where he went on his honeymoon, which goes to prove that, next to the Signal Corps, in the Medical Corps one is supposed to know how to do everything.
Robert Ellis Ingersoll M' 37 concluded his twenty-month rotating service at Cambridge City and is now doing reconstructive orthopedics for the State of New York at West Haverstraw under Halford Hallock.
