Medical School
The usual bustle and excitement of the close of the academic year is upon us. Between regular classes, examinations, and meetings are sandwiched: the student-faculty social gathering; the Nathan Smith Society meeting; Medical Day with its program, dinner for graduating students, and skit by the graduates; graduation; alumni luncheon; National Board examinations; and AAMC meeting. Somehow we look forward to July 1 with pleasure.
Forty-four students are scheduled to receive their B.M.Sc. degrees on June 11, two of whom will remain here to do predoctoral work, one in Pathology and one in Pharmacology. The others have had transfers arranged to Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, and the University of Washington.

In signing off for the year, and in fact for my last newsletter since the writer is retiring this summer, my sincere thanks to all of yon who have supplied me with bits of incidental intelligence during my years as secretary. May you be just as helpful to my successor!
