C A S E H I S T O R y

The history of the C l a s s of '52 started on a skept ica l note as 40 eyebrows were ra ised on that 1st day in I l a l l A, when the words of one Will iam Eus t i s Brown, M.I) . , conta ined such ad jec t iva l phrases a s , ' the pick of the c r op , " " f l ower of you th , " and "b r i gh t , in te l l igent , young representatives of American Manhood. Had we then been as adept as we are now in the ana lys i s of s t a t i s t i c s , we would not have been as skep t i ca l . After a l l , there were over 2000 app l i ca t ions , of which 200 were considered, and only 40 f ina l ly accep ted . Th is p laced us in the 98th percenti le, a privi leged group in any soc ie ty .

Skept ic ism, however, rapidly turned to eagerness as the work of the first year loomed before us .

Anatomy started with a poem by Dr. T. S. Brown. . . "The r e is no frigate l ike a book to take u s lands

a w a y . . . " Forty notebooks received the th ing, and to a man, it was memorized. (Might be on the first exam

you know.) But our eagerness faltered when we first saw those s t i l l , st i ff cadavers , and we lost the only

girl in the c l ass on the spo t .

Undoubtedly, others would have fal len by the ways ide a t th is point if j ov i a l , "Grea te r Trochanter"

Newhal l had not eased us over some of our more trying moments with a unique marking sys tem. He was re-

warded with a handsomely mounted proximal third of a femur at Chr is tmas .

In Biochemistry, 2 rabbits died of asphyxiat ion under Dr. Sche in ' s superv is ion , gastric tubes pinned to

lape ls start led several v is i tors , 24 hour urine samp les made susp ic ious bulges under coats , and the skin-

niest guys drew starvat ion d iets .

Strong minds were found to be contained within strong bodies at the inter-class sof tba l l and footbal l

games. Th is was a banner year for the Freshman A .C . as both the sof tba l l and footbal l teams emerged as

the champions of the Medical School Ath le t ic League .

Meanwhile, the Medical Wives, between meetings at the Nu S ig House, busied themselves turning frayed

col lars , d i sgu is ing hamburger, and giv ing birth to potent ia l medica l students .

Pathology added color to the second year. Faces turned a l ternate ly pale, green and red, whi le the hair

turned s tead i ly grey. Phys io logy reared i ts monstrous head, replete with pink eyes, hear ing a i d , a n d a

lone cigarette holder. Unfortunates sat skinned in the deep freeze to prove something or oilier about

changes in the body temperature. Bow Tie Day ended on a sour note when Dr. J . C . Amnion susp i c i ous ly

neglected to wear h i s .

It was a year with nary a suggest ion of anyth ing c l i n i c a l to let us know we were s t i l l in med ic ine , and

a year of yellow inv i tat ions to a chat with the Dean.

The Junior Year ! . . . Courses , books and offspring increased by leaps and bounds . \ new in f l uence

crept into the loca l hosp i ta l s as weary patients were qu i zzed and worked up for the 20th t ime.

Personal character is t ics were emerging. Suddenly there were many c l i n i c i ans in the c l a s s , quot ing

happi ly and at random, s ta t i s t i cs as fantast ic as the students themselves .

A Preventative Medic ine field trip to the Barre Quarr ies h ighl ighted the fal l season . . . " p r even t a t i v e " because the free beer was served A F T E R the tour to the brink of the quarry. Although Dr. \iken could not accompany our happy group, he was sent a postcard p ictur ing the depths of the quarry with the mes-sage, " H a v i n g a wonderful t ime. Wish you could drop i n . "

Spring saw friend turn aga ins t friend as senior vacat ion months were argued. The Dean ' s of f ice so lved

this dilemma with the announcement of no vaca t ions at a l l . So friend again toasted friend on the icy ter-

race of the Country C lub , for the Osier Banquet was with us once more.

The fourth year saw the c l a ss break up and leave town as the students went out on serv ices with the

admonit ion: " T a k e ve and hold that which is g ood . " Waterbury, G . P . , St. Jay , Springf ie ld , Bennington ,

Fanny Al len, many 'were the ta les of valor the boys brought back, paint ing vivid pictures of their own

worth. Surgery, Medic ine , Ped ia tr ics , and OB at the Fletcher .

The new internship plan was born amid some misg iv ings , but Dean Brown was r ight , . . . . most of us did

get our first choice without the madhouse of telegrams. After the tradit ional rounds of part ies , we at long

Fast attained that prized d ip loma, complete with the embossed, University of Vermont and S I A I L AGRl-

f f l m n y H i S T O R y

While the fe l lows were get t ing acqua in ted over their cadavers ,

the g i r ls were gett ing together at the Med. Wives C l ub . The

C l u b , organ ized the year before we arr ived , certa in ly was a

l i fesaver to those of us who were from out of town .

The boys may have been s tudy ing obstetr ics and ped ia t r i cs ,

but we had p lenty of f i rsthand knowledge about prenatal care ,

pos tna ta l care and infant feeding. (At th is wr i t ing , the c l a ss

has a grand total of 22 ch i ldren . )

We p layed bridge and knit sox , l i s tened to speakers and rea l ly

kept busv . Had a couple of ch i l d ren ' s part ies wi th no ser ious

damage (to the ch i ldren , that i s ) . Invi ted our husbands to a

banquet each year (of course, thev pa id for the t i cke ts ) and

rea l lv decided we had a congen ia l group. We sa i d a re luc tan t

goodbye to the Lowen fe l s at a p i cn i c at the Sand Bar , sopho-

more year, and they sa id goodbye to us at a cock t a i l party be-

fore Osier Banquet . We had a wonderful time at each but our

memories of the p icn ic are c learer .

Many have been the t imes we 've wondered where our next

mea l was coming from or whether or not we could pay the rent ,

but i t ' s a l l been fun and we wou ldn ' t have missed ' these four

years for any th ing in the wor ld .

Osler SKifs

SOCIAL HISTORy The Os ier C l i n i c a l Soc iety , organized in 1929, is composed of a l l undergraduate stu-

dents in the Co l l ege of Med ic ine . The Soc ie ty sponsors a ser ies of lectures given by

ou ts tand ing men in the f ield of med ic i ne . It is governed by a board of execut ive of f icers

e lec ted annua l l y by the members. A s o c i a l feature of the Society i s the Osier Banquet

wh i ch is given at the end of each year. At th is t ime sk i t s are presented by the members

of the three lower c l a s ses .

P h i Del ta Ep s i l o n Medical Fraterni ty was founded in 1908 at the Corne l l Co l l e ge of

Med ic ine . Beta Lambda Chapter received i ts charter at the Univers i ty of Vermont in 1935

wi th Dr. Arthur G lads tone , Assoc i a te Professor of C l i n i c a l Surgery, as one of i ts found-

ing members. Through the years, Beta Lambda Chapter has contr ibuted much to the s o c i a l

and academ ic picture at the Co l l ege of Med ic i ne . Such f ine speakers as Dr. Isadore

Snapper , Dr. Henry C . Fau l k , Dr. Char les K. Fr iedberg and Dr. Wi l l iam Dameshek have

lectured to s tudents and members of the med ica l profession under our s ponso r sh i p . A t

present a drive is be ing conducted by the fraternity to equ ip a conference room in the

new ly constructed wing of the Mary F le tcher in memory of Cap ta i n Nathan Mas in '49, an

ac t ive member of Beta Lambda Chapter , who was k i l l ed in Korea.

The Surgeons of the Long and Short Robes (U.V.M. Medica l H is tor i ca l Soc ie ty) , named

after the " e d u c a t e d " surgeons and the barber surgeons of olden t imes , is a most se lec t

group - anyone who a t tends a meet ing is au tomat i ca l l y a member. Founded in 1948 and

a f f i l i a ted wi th the Nat ional Soc ie ty , th is group has expanded to i nc lude most of the

present sen ior c l a s s and many of the lower c l a s smen . S i nce its inaugura t ion , top ics such

a s the " H i s t o r y of the E n e m a " — a most s t imu la t i ng d isser ta t ion , the " H i s t o r y of Hyp-

n o s i s , " "C jrave Robb ing in Ve rmon t , " and a rather int imate peek into " T h e Diary of

E rasmus R o o t , " have been featured. The Surgeons have been a s noted for their con-

sumpt ion of malt beverages and terpsichorean endeavor as for their perusal of med ica l

h is tory . May they a lways be long on entertainment and short on formal i ty.

Ph i Ch i Med ica l , now in i ts 63rd year at the Co l l ege of Medic ine and Alpha Chapter

of a fraternity now internat ional in s cope , numbers in i ts membership about a quarter of

the present graduat ing c l a s s . A lone , and in cooperat ion wi th the two other med ica l

fraterni t ies , <\lpha of Ph i Ch i has str ived to add to the soc i a l l i fe here at l l .V .M . , wh i le

encourag ing good scho larsh ip among members. Our yearly ca lendar i nc ludes monthly

s o c i a l and bus i ness meet ings , dances , p i cn i c s , informal d i s cuss i ons on current topics

by notab le men of med ic ine , and is h igh l igh ted by the annua l award of the Eben J . Carey

Memoria l Pr i ze to the freshman brother who does the most ou ts tand ing work in gross

ana tomy.

The past four years have brought l i t t le change in the fraternity. The house at 49 N.

Prospect Street s t i l l has the d i sma l , foreboding appearance of a med ieva l cas t le .

Rav i shed by the ASTP during World War II and mul t i tudes of Saturday night part ies

s i n c e that t ime , the house looks no better regard less of the number of t imes it is painted

or the rubbish removed. The membership has grown during the last four years to near ly

tw ice the normal s i z e , as has the enrol lment in the med ica l schoo l . Now with the en-

larged membership the house is inhab i ted only by members. The streets of Bur l ington do

not have to be scoured for roomers. It has even become the meet ing p lace for the Med ica l

S tudents Wives C l ub . Each year in con junc t ion with the na t iona l o rgan i za t i on , a man of

med i ca l renown is brought to Burl ington to s peak wi th , we hope, def in i te advan tage to

a l l in the Co l l ege of Medic ine .
