Show The MedicsQEVER before in its history has the University of Utah had such a bunch of real live "cut ups" as the Medical students are this year. They hail from all parts of Utah and the adjoining states, and they are as jolly, big-hearted, plucky, and as superior intellectually as any gang you will bump up against in a long travel. And the things they do cut up-besides stiffs. The laboratories are often the scenes of lively incidents which will linger in some dark corner of the mind of every Medic though he lives to be as old as Methuselah and then some. Who will forget the "challenges," "mental telepathy and physo-therapeutics" the "track meets," the "peanut busts" cr "Bigelow's Bear Story?"You all recollect the Boulder football game and who does not know that the Medics were there-everybody remembers their stunt. When the Junior Prom came along and the society proposed to build a real log cabin for their representative booth, the trouble of getting real logs did not count. They got the logs, the logs got an ax, and the house made a hit. But these are just a few incidents sandwiched in between the "grinds" of good old college days.You can count on the fingers of one hand the years since the Medical School was founded, but today, its work, and credits are accepted as being on a par with the best medical schools in America. Our laboratories are well equipped with the best of modern apparatus. The recent report of a special committee to the American Medical Association states that the work done and the equipment fully satisfies the requirements of that association and in some branches exceeds them. With its past history of marvelous progress, with its present greatness, and with time before it who can prognosticate the future of the Medical School? We make no claim to being prophets or the sons of prophets, but we predict that in the near future the School of Medicine will include also departments of Pharmacy and Dentistry, and Utah become a leader in this branch of education.( 1S6 ) |
