Medical School
Documentation dominates the Medical School scene as this is being written. Applications for admission, transfer, internship, commission, residency, fellowship, grant, and scholarship are being processed in volume as our papyraceous existence becomes more so.
As is usual at this time of year three quarters of the class to enter in September has been tentatively selected. When first semester grades are available the required readjustments can be made and the remainder selected. Even then, however, an alternate list must be maintained because required courses are in the June tally.

Zimmerman of New Cumberland, Pa., anticipate joining the third-year class at Pennsylvania. Robert M. Rinehart oF San Mateo will return to California.
Timothy W. Ellis of Buffalo will continue in the memory of us all. In many ways the outstanding man in the class, he was inexplicably drowned in Lake Erie shortly before School opened. A gallant soul went beyond our horizon and left us with the task of trying to meet his standards. Charles C. Ellis, his father, by gift of $25,000 has established the TIMOTHY WRIGHT ELLIS 1955 MEMORIAL FUND, in memory of his son, to be held "as a permanent fund the income of which shall be used by the College, in the discretion of the Dean of Dartmouth Medical School, to provide financial assistance in the form of scholarship grants and/or loans, to deserving students enrolled in the Dartmouth Medical School."
In the terms of the gift, income and loan repayments permitting, provision is made for loans also to students who have graduated and are completing their medical education at other institutions. It is expected that the income from this Fund will permit up to one full-tuition loan annually which no previous gift is now quite providing. With inflation constantly widening the gap between cost to the student and available aid, this is tremendous encouragement for which we are deeply grateful to Mr. Ellis.
Chicago continues to be the favorite center for professional societies. Radford C. Tanzer, Assistant Professor of Plastic Surgery, went there for the meeting of the American Society of Surgery of the Hand as did Stuart W. Russell, Assistant Professor of Orthosurgery, for the meeting of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.
1921 Hastings H. Walker and Maud entertained the Dean on his recent visit to Honolulu as a lay deputy to the Episcopal General Convention. He was very much impressed by the tremendous development in the facilities for the care of tuberculosis that has occurred at Leahi Hospital under the direction of Dr. Walker.
1927 Albert E. Morris came back from four years plus of USNR duty on a CVE, the USSKadashan Bay, and settled down to practice in Reading, Mass., or so it seemed at the time. But now Captain Morris USN has started a course in Preventive Medicine for Flight Surgeons at the Naval Hospital in Bethesda which follows seventeen months at the U.S. Naval Air Station at Lincoln, ' Nebraska; twelve months at the U.S. NAS at New Orleans; nineteen months on the USS Wasp; and fourteen months at the U.S. NAS in Seattle. Son George, who had a short interlude in the College Class of 1054' has just returned from Iwakuni, Japan, where for four years in the USNR he has been flying seaplanes and son Edward is a member of the Class of 1959.
1943 Waldo L. Fielding, obstetrician, and Sue have produced a dividend on the home front, Andrew L., born on 1 February.
