Medical School
The School is in the midst of the usual, but this year somewhat concentrated, midyear ac- tivities of transferring the second-year class; of selecting a 1949 first-year class with Selective Service special features of quota; and of con- cluding residency and fellowship appoint- ments for late 1949 and early 1950. The Selective Service System proposal that first-yeai classes for 1950 and 1951 be also selected at this time explains some of the unusual concentration of administrative data gathering.
To the Faculty has been added as Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine George Her- mann Stueck Jr. He will also hold the ap- pointment of Assistant Professor in the Phys- iological Sciences and of Assistant Chief of the Medical Service, Director of Metabolic Studies and Chief of Research at the White River Veterans Hospital. Doctor Stueck, a graduate of Princeton and New York Universities, came to us from the Faculties of Medicine and Biochemistry at New York University, to which he had returned after 48 months of active duty which took him to North Africa, Italy, and France, and returned him with the rank of major to inactive duty status in February 1946.
The Hospital Expansion has this month reached the point of working drawings for the first unit of construction and contracts will be let as soon as possible. Our original prophecy of April 1 may have been foolishly optimistic as the date for ground-breaking, but come spring something is bound to hap- pen.

1 Leslie, who has sampled Paris, London, New York, Naval Aviation and New Orleans, has now succumbed to the blandishments of those super realtors of California to whom in a moment of weakness he exposed himself during a vacation last spring. He may now be found on the staff of the Veterans Hospital at San Fernando.

1939—Eric D. Davidson has opened his office for the general practice of medicine at 290 Park Street, Upper Montclair, N. J.

After nine months at Mountainside in Montclair, in September 1942 he joined the Battle of the Atlantic on the USS Bogue, an escort carrier which eventually received a Presidential Unit Citation. In February 1946 he entered group practice and now he is starting out on his own. I forgot to say that he married that girl and now has two sons registered for Dartmouth.
