Medical School
THE MEDICAL SCHOOL opened on September 30 with a war size first year class of twenty-four and a second year class of nine, survivors of the interim group of twelve who were enrolled last year as an extra class in anticipation of deceleration. Two were lost by academic attrition and John Harrison Copenhaver Jr. joined the faculty of the Zoology Department for the summer term and has now enrolled at the University of Wisconsin as a graduate student in physiology. Donald Clarence Carlton, a member of the preceding class, who withdrew at the end of the winter term for an agricultural interlude in Pennsylvania, has returned to bring the count to ten. The graduate student group has increased to twelve with the enrollment of John Brewer Petter as a Clinical Fellow in Surgery. Major Petter, who recently returned from duty in the E.T.O. with the 101 st and 279 Station Hospitals, took his baccalaureate and doctorate at the University of Virginia. This makes a total enrollment in the School of forty-six students.
The new class includes no alumni sons, but Frank Warren Garran Jr., is the son of the late Dean of the Thayer School, and George Adair Lyon is the son of Charles J. Lyon, Professor of Botany in the College. Four are sons of physicians and two of dentists. The Navy, Army, Air Force, and Marine took all the places but two. New Jersey is high State, with Massachusetts and Connecticut in that order. California, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island are tied for fourth, with Kansas and Florida entered with one each.
