Into the-amphitheater of New Orleans' old and vast (1,800-bed) Charity Hospital * stepped a trim figure with a calmly confident air: Dr. Edward William Alton Ochsner, then 31, newly appointed professor of surgery at Tulane University. He had ideas about how to teach diagnosis and surgery to medical students. From an adjoining examining room the first student-victim stepped in. He had just spent half an hour worriedly examining a patient. Now Professor Ochsner called for his diagnosis...
...Ochsner, normally well-modulated in tone, was promptly dubbed "the bull of the bullpen." He recalls now: "My purpose was to teach students how to think under stress.

Who then will staff our Sections and provide tutorial instruction...
Coach Bill Brooks hasn't had a chance to shape his Yardling team yet, but four freshmen already stand out. Dick Seaton look strong in the 440 and 220 free style. "He hasn't learned to sprint, but why teach him when he's so good in the longer events," Brooks commented...
