MEETING OF THE FACULTY BOARD OF THE MEDICAL SCHOOL of the
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
January 7, 1943
_ A special meeting of the heads and sub-chiefs of clinical and _ pre-clinical departments was held in Chemical Hall of the Medical School at 3:50 P.M., Thursday, January 7, 1943.
a Present: Doctors Amberson, Aycock, Brantigan, Clapp, Coblentz, Davis, Douglass, Hachtel, William Helfrich, Hundley, Kitlowski, Krantz, Looper, O'Rourk, Charles Reifschneider, Sacks, Shipley, Spencer, Sprunt,
- Uhlenhuth, Voshell, Walton, Wise and Wylie. Dean Patterson presided.
_ Two-Year Pre-Medical Requirement
The meeting was called for the special purpose of discussing the necessity for making changes in the pre-medical requirements for ad- mission to the Medical School for the duration of the war, to conform with similar action now being taken by many other medical schools in the United States as a result of a recommendation by the Association of American Medical Colleges.
The following motion was offered by Dr. Wylie, seconded by Dre Wise, and carried:
WHEREAS, the Assocation of American Medical Colleges at its annual meeting in Louisville, Kentucky, October 28, 1942, by unanimous resolution recommended to all the member colleges that the period of pre-medical study heretofore required by the majority of the medical schools be reduced to two years of scholastic or academic study for the duration of the war, or during the continuance of a state of national emergency, and
WHEREAS, such action has also been recommended by the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical Association,
THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Faculty of the School of Medicine of the University of Maryland that the period of pre- medical study heretofore required for admission to that school be reduced to two academic or scholastic years, or their equivalent, consisting of not less than 60 semester hours, exclusive of physical education and military science, in an approved College of Arts and Sciences, in conformity with the
recommendations of the Association of American Medical- Colleges and the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical Association, provided that the minimum number of semester hours of instruction in the prescribed basic subjects for a pre-medical education be ineludede Such reductions in admission requirements are to continue in force until further notice.
Dean Patterson outlined the policy to be followed with respect to future meetings of the Faculty which fall into three groups or categories: - she
1 - The entire Faculty which will meet at the opening and closing of each scholastic sessione
-2@ + The Faculty Board, composed of the heads of Departments and sub-divisionse This group will meet more frequently.
3 - The Executive Committee, composed of seven senior members of the Faculty plus the Dean and Assistant Dean, to be called upon to advise the Dean on special occasions or in emergencies.
The Dean spoke of the fact that the Medical School and the Hospital were not at present adequately supported by State Funds and that the financial condition will never be satisfactory until they are so sup- ported. He stated the importance of obtaining a better financial backing and indicated that, with the assistance of all of them, he would make every effort to secure better appropriations from the Legislature in the futures He expressed the opinion that it will take a long time to change the situation. The Legislature will need to be thoroughly educated ’ concerning the needs of these two important parts of the State University.
The Dean then spoke of the policy to be followed concerning filling of vacancies in the Faculty-e Whenever a vacancy occurs, corres- pondence will be initiated by those who may be interested through the head ~ of the department in which the vacancy existse When applications have been received, those that appear to be the best qualified will be brought to the attention of the Dean and he, with the head of the department con- cerned, will decide which one or ones should be invited to visit the Medical School for a personal interview. When invited, such candidates will be scrutinized and conducted through the School, and the Department concerned, by the head of that Department. The final recommendation of the head of. the department as to the best qualified man will be followed by the Dean who, if he is in accord, will tender the one selected a formal offer of employment at a stated Salary, etc. In other words a contract will be entered into between the Medical School and the individual concerneds _

Should be given an oral examination, in accordance with previous practices in casesof doubt, but stated that of course he would abide by the decision of the Faculty.

SUMMARY Passed 82 Passed, with warning 2 To be re-examined 2 Work incomplete 3 Withd rew 0 Dropped 1___ (Questionable ) 90
A discussion ensued with respect to the recommendations of the Committee to drop from the rolls John M. Rechte Dr. Sprunt stated that the student had given a very bad impression in Medicines His papers were | incoherent and many words were misspelled. His work has deteriorated recently: After further consideration of Mr. Recht's case, it was finally decided that Mr. Recht is to be given a careful physical survey by the Medical Department in order to determine both his physical and mental capacities and, pending the results of such examinations, his future status would be undetermined. The Committee was directed to abide by any action that Dr. Sprunt, Head of the Department of Medicine, found it necessary to take after a physical surveye If Mr. Recht is physically qualified he will then be permitted to take re-examinations in the subjects in which he has failed in order to determine his future status in the schoole
Upon motion made by Dr. Hundley, seconded by Dr. Carl L. Davis, the Faculty Board voted to carry out the above recanmendations of the Advancement Committee as amended with respect to Mr. Rechte
Dre Wylie stressed the need of consultation between the Advancement Committees of the first and second years with respect to the promotion or discharge of students before recommending that anyone be dropped. It was his view as well as the Dean's that students who advance as far as the third and fourth years ordinarily should be expected to graduate except in caseg of mental deterioration, or for defects in their character or conduct.
Failures and Incomplete Work
The Dean requested information as to the prevailing practice in this University in the matter of failures and incompleted worke It was explained that all students who failed in any subject are re-examined, and if they fail again, they are dropped. Students with sub jects in which they have "incompletes” must complete them before the beginning of the succeeding semester. No courses are repeated.
Commencement Exercises
The Dean announced that only 19 members of the Faculty as yet had indicated their intention: to be present at the Commencement exercises on Thursday, March 25, 1943. He urged every member of the Faculty to take part in the Academic Procession in order to make a creditable showing. The faculty owes that effort to the students. He stated that caps and gowms -can be secured from A» T. Jones, for $3.00. Dr. Shipley suggested that the Heads of the separate departments contact the men in their Departments and request them to attend. The Dean concurred in and approved that suggestione
Hippocratic Oath
Dr. Shipley recommended that at this Commencement Exercises he be permitted to make a brief preliminary statement of the meaning of the Hippo- cratic Oath at the time of Hippocrates (5th Century B.C.), and then read it to the graduates at the Commencement Exercises, rather than actually to administer the Hippocratic Oathe The graduates to be asked only to accept the principles stated in the Oathe The Dean concurred in this recommendation and directed Dr. Shipley to prepare such a preliminary statement for presentation at the Commencement. The Dean invited the attention of the Board to a recent memorandum from him concerning the Hippocratic Oath and the "“Sponsio Academica". He stated that this subject would be consi dered at an early meeting of the Faculty Board.

Upon motion made, duly seconded and unanimously adopted, the Faculty Board approved the recommendation of the Committee on Graduation that the above-named students, having satisfactorily fulfilled all requirements for graduation, be recommended to the President and the Board of Regents of the University of Maryland for the Degree of Doctor of Medicine,
Zz. Students who have failed in one course The following students have met all requirements for graduation with the exception of one failure each in the courses indicated;
Ruth Workman Baldwin . . . Ophthalmology Edward Colson Day ... . Psychistry Peter Memula oe “ev = Te! > <6 Ophthalmology
Dr. Clapp, Professor of Ophthalmology, stated he would raise the grade of Mrs. Baldwin to "75". Upon motion made, duly seconded, and unanimously adopted, the Faculty Board approved the addition of the name of Mrs. Baldwin to the list of students recommended for graduation.
In the absence of the Professor of Psychiatry, Dr. Clapp moved that Mr. Day's grade be raised to 75, and that he be recommended for gradu- ation. Motion was seconded by Dr. Hundley, and unanimously adopted by the Faculty Board. Discussion ensued concerning Mr. Day. Dr. Spencer stated that, having been informed of a personal indebtedness of Mr. Day to a private firm, he had consulted the Dean with reference to Mr. Day's status for graduation, and had been instructed by the Dean that Mr. Day was not to be recommended for graduation until this obligation had been met. The Faculty Board coneurred in the Dean's ruling, whereupon the original motion was amended to read that Day, having met all academic requirements for graduation, he be recommended for graduation, provided he meet his
personal obligation, which Day had promised to meet. The Chairman instructed
Dr. Spencer to see that Day complied with this requirement.

Dr. Clapp, Professor of Ophthalmoloey, agreed to raise the merk of Mr. Mamula to 5", and moved that his name be added to the list recommended for graduation. Motion was seconded and adopted by Faculty Board.
3. Students who have failed in two courses.
The following student has met all requirements for graduation with the exception of two failures in the courses indicated:
Richard Mitchell Garrett . .. Gynecology and Ophthelmology
Dr. Clapp, Professor of Ophthalmology, agreed to reise Mr. Garrett's Mark to "75", Dr. Hundley, Professor of Gynecology, discussed Mr. Garrett's grade of%7". He stated that his work had been very poor, and that he had had great difficulty in getting him to turn in one (1) case report which is required. Dr. Shipley reviewed Mr. Garrett's grades and class standing for the first three years in the Medical School, which revealed that he had always been in the lower third of his class, but had never had to take a re-examinetion. His grade in gynecology for the third year was "85". Dr. Hundley, therefore, agreed to raise Mr. Garrett's mark to"75", Upon motion made by Dr. Spencer, seconded by Dr. Hundley, and unanimously adopted, the Board approved the addition of Mr. Garrett's name to the list recommended for graduation.
4, Recipient of the Gold Medal.
Mrs. Lillian Feykert Bennett, having attained the highest general average for her four academic years (90.37), is recommended by the Committee on Graduation as the recipient of the University Prize Gold Medal. Upon motion
made by Dr. Hundley, seconded by Dr. Looper, and unanimously adopted, the Faculty Board approved the recommendation of the Committee on Graduation that
Mrs. Lillien Feykert Bennett be awarded the University Prize Gold Medal.
5. Recipients of the Certificates of Honor
The following students, having attained the next five highest averages for the four academic years, as indicated, are recommended as recipients of Certificates of Honor:
leRoy Wortendyke Tilt, Jr. ...... 90.11 Ernesto Colon-Yordan ...cccceccee 90.05 * Williem Edward McGrath, Jr. ..... 89.84 Arnold Robert Marks ....ccssescoe 89.06 Joseph Roy Guyther ....cssseccers 89-29
Upon motion made, duly seconded, and unanimously adopted, the Faculty Board approved the recommendation of the Committee on Graduation that the above- Nemed students be the recipients of the Certificates of Honor.
* Addendum: On December 18, 1943, Dr. Hachtel, Secretary of the Committee on Graduation, noted that an error had been made in the average for Mr. Wm. =, McGrath, Jr., recorded above as the recipient of the third Certificate of Honor, Further
investigation confirmed the fact that Mr. McGrath was incorrectly reported as having an average of 89.84. His average was 87.54. At a conference between Dr. Shipley, Dr. Spencer and Dr. Hachtel, the name of Mr. McGrath was eliminated, and the name of Mr. Edgar Thornton Pfeil, with a general average of 89.06, was
added to the list as the recipient of the Fifth Certificate of Honor.

Students Passed with Warning
A discussion arose as to the policy of advancing students with a Warning, which is not followed up in the ensuing year to see if any improvement has taken place. It has occurred that the same student is warned in two consecu- tive years with no action taken. Dr. Wylie stated that consideration should be given to set up a definite standard which the students would be expected to meet. This matter will be discussed at a later meeting.

MEETINGS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE ‘ FACULTY OF MEDICINE
January 13, 1944 January 17, 1944
Present: (January 13, 1944): Doctors Douglass, Hachtel, Spencer, Sprunt, Shipley and Wylie
Present: (January 17, 1944): Doctors Hachtel, Spencer, Hundley, Sprunt, Shipley and Wylie
The Executive Committee met on the above dates to consider the proposal concerning the renting of space in the Bressler Building to the Davison Chemical Corporation.
At the second meeting, it appeared to the members that a number of people had been in communication with Mr. Chester F. Hockley, President, Davison Chemical Corporation, and out of this there arose a little confusion as to exactly what the Davison Chemical Corporation's proposal was. Accordingly, in order to secure definite and direct informetion, Dr. Wylie sent a letter to Mr. Hockley on January 18, 1944, copy of which is appended, and received a reply on January 20, 1944, copy appended. Since the facilities requested in Mr. Hockley's letter of January 20th coincided with the understanding of the Committee when it met on January 17th, the Committee made the following recommendation:
The Executive Committee of the Faculty recommends to the Dean and through him to the President that it approves of the renting of the space in the Bressler Building, particularly since it is associated with the promotion of the war effort, but feels that the details should be worked out by the President on authority of Dean Patterson.

Dear Mr. Hockley:
A short time ago, Dr. John C. Krantz, Jr., Professor of Pharmacology of our School of Medicine, sent me the enclosed letter.
The School of Medicine is interested in any research project which is planned in support of the war effort. However, before determining on a course of aetion, it is thought advisable that you be apprised of the contents of Dr. Krantz letter, and that the Dean's Office of the School should secure more complete and direct information in connection with the proposed use of the fac- ilities and of the space involved in the Bressler Building. Some of the points on which the Dean's Office would like more information are these:
1. How many months would the space indicated be needed by your Corporation?
2. How much rent is offered per month for the space and facilities?
5. What fire and occupational hazards are involved, if any?
4. Would there be released any fumes or gases of an obnoxious or poisonous character?
5. To what extent would the use of the elevators be involved for passenger and freight service?
6. Would it become necessary to install heavy machinery which would be likely to cause undue stresses on the floors and building supports?
7. Would the facilities be used at night?
8. Is the work of such a secret nature that the fifth floor would have to be closed to the public?
Some of the reasons which prompt these questions will become apparent when it is explained that all floors, including the fifth and sixth, contain classrooms and laboratories to which students must have access, In addition, there is an animal room on the sixth floor in which are kept experimental animals which could be harmed by poisonous gases.
The Dean's Office is aware that a number of conversations have been held with you by officials of the University concerning this project. However it would be appreciated if you will comment on the points in question, and address an official application to Dean Robert U. Patterson for the use of the facilities available. On receipt of your reply, the Executive Committee will be glad to make prompt recommendations to Dean Patterson and through him to Dr. H. C. Byrd, President of the University of Maryland.
Very sincerely yours,
(Signed) H. Boyd Wylie, M. D. Assistant Dean

Dr. H. Boyd wylie, Assistant Dean, School of Medicine
University of Maryland,
Baltimore, Maryland
Dear Dr. Wylie:
In response to the suggestion made in your letter of January 18th relating to our desire to utilize certain laboratories on the fifth floor and a part of a vacant room on the sixth floor of the Bressler Building, I am making the following replies to the questions raised in your letter:
1. How many months would the space indicated be needed by your Corporation?
The Corporation needs space to augment our present laboratory facilities until WPB approves a projected building and we are able to complete same. At the minimuy it appears that we will require space for a period of at least six months, and perhaps for a year or even longer. Should we occupy space in the Bressler Building, our tenancy, after a period of six months from the date of first use, could be at your sole discretion.
2, How much rent is offered per month for the space and facilities?
We have been informed that the Bressler facilities which might become availeble are vacant rooms and laboratories Nos. 503, 505, 506, 522, 513, 512 and 521. Aside from these rooms, which total about 1475 sq. ft. area, we understand there is a space approximately 40 x 20: ft. on the sixth floor, which might be utilized for office work. This is now used as storage space, but could be easily vacated, as we understand it.
If we should be permitted to use this sixth floor space, we would install temporary office partitions therein.
I believe that a "meeting of the minds” should be had in respect to a fair monthly rental. Our own approach to the subject is that we feel that your institution should be properly compensated in view of all the circumstances. We believe that you would, in turn, not wish to enter into any kind of agreement of this character were it not for the war situation and the indirect contribution which you can make in this direction.
j i i f gas, water If utilities, including light and "normal" amounts 0 : : electricity and eveau are included, we have felt that, based on the highest current rates for office space in the city, a monthly rental at the rate of | #8,000.00 per year would be proper for this space of approximately 1875 sq. ft.
3. What fire and occupational hazards are involved, if any?
No unusual fire or occupational hazards would be involved in the work carried out in the laboratory quarters or office space.
4. Would there be released any fumes or gasses of an obnoxious or poisonous character?
We do not anticipate that obnoxious or poison fumes or gases would be evolved in the work. If from time to time, as happens in normal chemical work, obnoxious gases were encountered, we should arrange to control them ! in accordance with the best laboratory practice for our own as well as others’ benefit. Experimental animals kept on the sixth floor would certainly be =| subjected to no hazards due to fumes and the like. I believe there need be
no concern on this point.
5. To what extent would the use of the elevators be involved for passenger and freight service?
The major use of freight service would be during the "moving in" period. Thereafter, usage would only be that expected in supplying normally active chemical laboratories. We would hope to-use the passenger elevator in the normal way, and we might be willing to contribute the services of our janitor : during rush hours for this elevator service. In this event, the remainder ; of the building could profit thereby.
6. Would it become necessary to install heavy machinery which would be likely to cause undue stresses on the floors and building supports? ‘
We would abide by the usual building laws in respect to heavy machinery, and floor loads. As a matter of fact, we do not anticipate any heavy machinery will be used. But in the event we should desire to install such later, we would, of course, expect to obtain your approval and that of building authorities.
7. Would the facilities be used at night ?
Normally the facilities would not be used at night. In rare events, some evening work might be done, provided you are agreeable thereto..
8. Is the work of such a secret nature that the fifth floor would have to be closed to the public?
It would not be necessary to close the fifth floor to the public, though we would expect that a reasonable degree of privacy would be Maintained. "Keep Out" signs would only be applied to doors in the event-- which we think unlikely--that students or others persisted in attempting to satisfy other then normal curiosity.
In the event of our occupying these quarters, it is agreed to restore them to their original condition when we vacate.
I hope that you and your associates will be able to act favorably on our request to utilize the aveilable quarters under the conditions mentioned herein, or under alternate conditions which may better meet your ideas in respect to our use of these vacant quarters. We plan to use these facilities for purposes which, in a large part, are directly contributing to the War Effort.
I am enclosing two additional copies of this letter for any purpose for which you may need them in your organization.
Very truly yours,

MEETING OF THE FACULTY BOARD OF THs MEDICAL SCHOOL of the UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
March Boy 1944 -- 4 P.M. Chemical Hall
Hachtel, Hutchins, Joslin, Krantz, Looper, Sacks, Shipley, Spencer, Sprunt, Toulson, Williams, Wolff, Wylie. Dean Patterson presided.
It was moved and duly seconded that the School of Medicine adopt the oath known as the 'Sponsio Academica” as being a more modern and acceptable oath for the use of students who graduate from this Medical School hereafter, rather than the old Pagan Hippocratic oath. The motion was passed
unanimously.
The members of the Faculty were reminded of the importance of seeing that hours of instruction which they give to students terminate a sufficient time before the end of each hour to enable the students to proceed to the next lecture. There have been some complaints by some members of the Faculty that students were delayed unduly by other instructors.
The Dean invited the attention of the members of the Board to the procedure to be followed for appointment to, or relief from, membership on the Faculty of the Medical School, or the Visiting Staff of the University Hospital, issued from his office on August 2, 1943.
It was moved and duly seconded that the Faculty go on record as being heartily in favor of a new psychiatric hospital or unit to be provided for the State of Maryland in the City of Baltimore as outlined in the following Resolution, which was passed unanimously:
Whereas - There is to be presented to the State Planning Commission for postwar projects a plan for a State psychopathic hospital to be located in the City of Baltimore, and
_ Whereas - It is suggested that this psychopathic hospital be a unit in close association, physically and functionally, with the University Hospital and Medical School, a feature thet is approved by the Mental Hygiene Society of Maryland, by the State Commissioner of Mental Hygiene, by psychiatrists of the City and by the Baltimore City Medical Society
Be It Resolved -
First - That the Faculty of Medicine of the University
: a of Maryland approves the plan in general and recommends that the plan be placed in Class A Urgent of the Six Year Capital Improvement Program for the State of Maryland:
Second - That the Faculty of Medicine recognizes the advantages to the Psychopathic Hospital of a close association with the University Hospital and Medical School and
6.
appreciates further that such a psychiatric unit would be a splendid asset to the Medical School and University Hospital in the temporary care of psychiatric patients before their ultimate disposi- tion, in the teaching of psychiatry to medical students and resident staff and in the opportunities for clinical research and -
Third - That when the necessary building is constructed and funds provided for its operation, the Faculty of Medicine of this School and the Staff of the Hospital will cooperate in the direction and operation of such a unit and
Fourth - That it is the opinion of this Faculty that it would be well that the Director of such a psychiatric unit be the Professor of Psychiatry in the Faculty of this School and
Fifth - Theat a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Mental Hygiene Society of Maryland, and a copy to the Chairmen of the Maryland State Planning Commission, Mr. Abel Wolman, 30] latrobe Hall, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md.
It was moved and seconded that a Committee be appointed by the Dean to study the adequacy of salaries paid to members of the Faculty in the first two or preclinical years of the Medical School course, the report to be made to the Dean who will then bring the matter before the Faculty Board for consideration, and such action as may properly be indicated.
The Dean advised the Faculty Board that he would endeavor not to call them too frequently for meetings; that meetings would be called when he had problems concerning which he felt ‘ needed the consideration and advice of the Faculty; that meetings would be called by the Dean whenever enough suggestions were made to the Dean in writing that indicated the need for consideration by the Faculty. In other words whenever sufficient agenda is collected to justify calling a meeting, such a meeting will be held. He stated thet it was his desire to conserve the time of the members of the Faculty in every way possible during these difficult days of acceleration of the course of study in the Medical School, and the high pressure of professional work of the clinical members of the Faculty.
March 31, 1944
MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE MEETING OF THE | FACULTY OF MEDICINE
April 19, 1944
A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Faculty was held in the Dean's Office on April 19, 1944 at 4:00 P.M. to consider the emergency arising out of the order of the Selective Service of April 11, eliminating occupational deferment of premedical students after June 30, 1944,
Present: Dean Patterson, Assistant Dean Wylie, Doctors Shipley, Spencer, Douglass, C. R. Edwards and Hachtel.
The reading of the Minutes of the previous meeting was dispensed with.
After some discussion the following decisions were reached;
(1) Students who shall have completed their premedical training in time shall be registered on May 12, 1944 and begin their course in biochemistry.
(2) Students who shall not have finished their premedical work in time to register on May 12, may continue at the Colleges they are now . attending if the Deans of these Colleges will certify the courses being taken are under the supervision of the University of Maryland School of Medicine,
| (3) When this arrangement cannot be made with the Dean of any College, the student or students will have to continue their premedi¢al training at the College of Arts and Sciences, University of Marylend, Baltimore.
(4) Before putting the above plan in force an answer to a letter* to be sent to Selective Service Headquarters in Washington, D.C. will be
awaited. ep emenenr mem arenas ane * Frank W. Hachtel, M.D., Secretary 7? Approved; ES ;

MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE MEETING OF THE FACULTY OF MEDICINE
April 24, 1944
A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Faculty was held in the Dean" s Office at 3:00 P.M. on Monday, Avril 24, 1944 to discuss action upon a resolution adopted by the Executive Council of the Association of American
| Medical Colleges on April 1, 1944.
Present: Dean Patterson, Assistant Dean Wylie, Doctors Shipley, Spencer, Douglass, ©. R. HKdwards, and Hachtel.
Before proceeding to the business of the meeting, Dean Patterson explained that action has been held in abeyance on the decision made by the Executive Committee at its meeting held April 19th to meet the emergency ereated by a change in the orders of Selective Service relative to deferment of men between 18 and 26 years of age. This delay was determined upon in order to receive a reply to a letter of enquiry sent to General Hershey, Director of Selective Service in Washington, D.C., as to action contemplated as outlined in the letter to General Hershey would comply with the ruling of his office. A statement to that effect has been included in the Minutes of the last meeting.
Dean Patterson then asked the advice of the Executive Committee on the action to be taken upon a resolution adopted by the Executive Council of the Association of American Medical Colleges, which had requested the vote of this Medical School, and which reads as follows:
"RESOLVED: That the Executive Council recommends to the members of the Association that all medical schools which will admit a first yearclass in the fall of 194 plan to admit the following first year class in the autumn of 1945 and successive first year classes each twelve months thereafter, that those schools which will admit a first year class in January, 1945, admit their following first year class in the fall of 1945 and successive first year classes each twelve months there- after, with the understanding that in no instance should the decelera- tion drop back the admission of a first year class by more than four months and also that all civilian medical students and military trainees be continued on the accelerated progrem of instruction in order to complete the medical course in thirty-six months.”
Oe a
The Executive Committee, upon motion duly proposed and seconded, voted "aye" on the resolution.

Honor Students
The following students in order of scholastic standing (general average for four scholastic years) upon motion made, duly seconded and carried, were recommended to be awarded honors as follows:
Gold Medal Recipient: William Carl Ebeling, III, having attained the highest general average (91.31) for the four academic years
Honor Certificates: 1. Miles Edward Drake pitiete «ere TOsoo 2. Herman James Lambert, Jr. .... 90.09 SP elerviu Goldstein oss « o «ee «68957 ZA. "Waourice Feldman, Jr... + 2 2 « « 89.27 5. Lewis Bradford Thompson .....e 89.25
The Dr. A. Bradley Dr. Wylie announced that this prize usually awarded
Gaither Memorial Prize; to the student doing the best work in genito-urinary surgery, has not been awarded during the period of accelerated instruction.
After the above actions were taken, there was some discussion. Dr. Shipley asked the name and grade of the man next in scholastic standing after Mr. Thompson. The Dean stated that it was Mr. Wright with an average of 89.24, only 0.01 less than the man who preceded him. Dr. Shipley asked if Mr. Wright could not also be awarded an Honor Certificate in view of the fact that his general average was almost a tie with that of Mr. Thompson. Dr. Wylie ‘stated that in the catalogue there is published a statement on Page 05 (September 1943 Issue) that a Gold Medal and five certificates of honor will be awarded "to those six of the first ten highest ranking candidates for graduation who, during the four academic years, have exhibited outstanding qualifications for the practice of medicine", and until public notice of action to the contrary was given in the catalogue of the School, it was his view that only five certificates should be awarded. Dr. Shipley then concurred in Dr. Wylie's view, but continued the discussion by stating that general averages alone should not ~~ be the criteria for selecting honor students; that in the past the practice had been to consider character, personality, professional attitude, habits, etc. together with the grades for each of the first ten men; that if it was expected that the members of the Faculty Board would attend these meetings simply to accept and pass on the men selected by the Dean's office as honor students, it would mean that such meetings will be poorly attended. Dr. Wylie stated that for the past several years honors had been awarded upon the basis of the aggregate averages for the four academic years, that if there was anything detrimental to any student's case, such a report should have been recorded in the Dean's Office. The Dean stated that the selection of honor students was of course not being made by the Dean's Office, but on the contrary that office simply furnished to the Faculty a compilation or aggregate of all the marks based on the four scholastic years' work. The members of the Faculty were following a procedure customary in this and other schools. The Dean asked if it was the desire of the Faculty Board to void the action previously taken at this meeting with respect to awarding of honors. Dr. Shipley moved that the | discussion be closed and the previous action be confirmed, which was seconded and carried, Dean Patterson stated that the first ten students in scholastic standing as stated in the catalogue are always to be considered with respect to their professional character, habits, etc. in the selection for honors.

én2 to be considered,
Deceleration: EE
The Dean reminded the Faculty of the vote taken by the Executive
f the Faculty Board on April 24, 1944 upon Recommendation No. 1 of fis Executive Council of the Association of American Medical Colleges,
which later was approved by the Faculty Board, That Recommendation was understood to mean that deceleration would begin with the admission of a freshman class in the Fall of 1945, and continue each year thereafter, However, from a letter received from the Secretary of the Association of American Medical Colleges that understanding was an error, as the Resolution — was meant only to refer to the admission of a new class every fall, which | however when matriculated would continue training under the accelerated progra The only instructors that would receive benefit in the Faculty would be those teaching freshmen. The Dean Stated that he had written to the Chairman of the Executive Council of the Association of American Medical Colleges, urging him to request the War and Navy Departments to send representatives of their medical and educational departments to the next meeting of the Association which will be held in Detroit, October 23 to 25, 1944, to discuss this subject so that decisions may be reached which may be understood and followed by all concerned,
Future Meetings of Faculty Board
The Dean announced that a special meeting of the Board will be held on October 3, 1944, at 4 P.M., in Chemical Hall, at which time the records of the third, second and first year students for the scholastic year
The regular monthly meeting of the Board will be held on Thursday, October 19th.

The Chairman of the Second Year Committee announced that Pfc. Reisch has won the Frederica Gehrmann Scholarship with an average of 93,53 in the prescribed subjects for the first two academic years.
Dr. Wylie suggested that Pfc. Reisch be awarded a Certificate of Merit in lieu of the $200.00 to be applied to his tuition which, as a member of the A.S.T.P., he cannot accept. The suggestion was approved by the Faculty Board.
In view of the large number of students of the second year class reported as having been conditioned in one or more subjects, Dr. Wylie expressed a misgiving as to the thoroughness with which the First Year Committee was weeding out the weak students. The ensuing discussion brought out the fact that a careful analysis of the report of the Second Year Committee did not sustain that doubt.
Report of the Third Year Committee on the Advancement of Students Dr. Spencer, Chairman of the Committee, read the report.

The report, on a motion duly seconded, was unanimously approved,
System of Grading
Dr. Krantz called attention to the slight excursion between the highest and the lowest average grade based on the four years' work of the
| medical students. On the basis of this he raised the question of the
| advisability of having a study made of our system of grading. Dean Patterson | ©xpressed the opinion that this narrow excursion was, in part, due to dropping | the weakest students from the rolls early in their career in the medical school, and that it was not unusual in good schools with careful selection of
students and experienced teachers to find close averages between the highest and lowest groups in classes,
Warning to Weak Students
Dr. Wylie asked the Faculty Board whether they thought the warning now given to weak students was too severe, carrying as it does a threat of expulsion unless they show improvement. It was the concensus that the warning was too severe, and that it should be modified though making the warning definite.
Dr. Compton asked the Dean whether his office would present an analysis of the records for the first three years of those students who have
been severely warned, Dean Patterson agreed to bring before the Faculty Board such an analysis in the near future.

Report of Committee on Salary Studies - 0. G. Harne, Chairman.
An abstract of the committee's report in three parts was read by
Chairman Harne,.
Part One covered the directions to the committee, and the procedure followed in collecting the data. To this end contacts were established with The American
Medical Association; The Association of University Professors; Association of
52
American Medical Colleges, and the U. S. Department of Education. Also, all Med Schools in the United States were circularized with a questionnaire, asking fora information on - 1. Maximum, Average, and Minimum salaries currently paid to Full Professors, Associate and Assistant Professors, and Instructors. 2. A statement of policy on tenure for the full time staff. 5. Opportunities for supplementing salaries. 4. What, if any, steps have been taken to offset
the upward trends in living expenses of the staff.
Part Two covered the material collected. Salaries in State-operated schools were found to range from $4,000 to *8,000 for Full Professors. Other ranks were paid proportionately less. The average being only slightly above the Minimum figures, Average minimum salaries in State schools were #4,700.00, and average maximum salaries were $6.180 per year. Tenure for Full, and Associate Pro- fessors was reported as permanent in 90 per cent of State schools, and permanent for Assistant Professors in 40 per cent of State-operated schools.
Little was reported in the way of relief for the low salaries received by teachers. Five supplements however for which extra salary was received were reported, 1. Administrative work. 2. Consultation Privileges. 3. Extra teaching. 4. Extra work (outside), and 5, Bonuses.
Part Three Recommendations. 1. That a Maximum - Minimum salary schedule be
adopted, which would raise the salary standard of the University of Maryland
from position 12 to position 4, 2. That a biennial salary increase of 5 per cent be given to all teachers of the full time staff until the maximum salary recommended is reached. 5. That consideration be given to some form
of salary adjustment to meet the immediate need resulting from our proximity to war-time areas,
Voted - Regular motion by Doctors Davis, Uhlenhuth, that the report - be accepted with thanks, and approved, and that a copy be transmitted to the President of the University.

spent in the various divisions of each teacher's work day. Care was requested in furnishing such information,

Dr. Toulson brought to the attention of the Faculty Board the inconsistencies of the "Smoking Regulations" in and about the Medical School.
It Was Voted - on motion by Doctors Edwards and Davis that smoking be prohibited in all lectures, but permitted during examinations, and in laboratories, at the discretion of the head of the department concerned with - due regard to safety and health.

Dean Patterson reported that a crisis has arisen in the field of supply of Anatomical Material (bodies for teaching purposes). The Dean reported having held a meeting already with the Anatomical Board, and
Dr. Uhlenhuth, and plans are laid for a meeting with the Health Commissioner and the City Postmortem physician (Dr. Maldeis) with a view to improving
the supply. He stated that the use of bodies until further notice will
have to be restricted.
Dr. Wylie announced that Dean Patterson planned to attend the annual meeting of the Association of American Medical Colleges in Detroit from October 23 - 26, 1944, and that he would like an expression of the feeling of the Faculty Board regarding acceleration and deceleration, and the proper time to admit the next freshman class in 1945, The discussion was not recorded, but many ideas were expressed,

| The grades made by each of the above students in their other courses were considered and, as all had been satisfactory, except those of Norman E. Zinberg, the following action was taken:

In the case of Norman E. Zinberg, on motion made by Dr. Shipley, seconded by Dr. Peake, and passed with Dr. Figge dissenting (16 aye, 1 no), it was decided that he should not be graduated with his class. The discussion of Zinberg's record brought out the fact that he had rather consistently cut classes, including ophthalmology, that his work on neurology had been unsatisfactory; that some of his clinical duties in the departments of medicine, and of obstetrics, had not been performed conscientiously on a number of occasions, is now on file from Professor of Obstetrics).

Dean Patterson read a letter from Louis Guy Chelton, dated May 15, 1945, asking for reconsideration of his discharge from the Freshman Class on May 10, 1945, This appeal was based on the following reason: ;
Personal and illness in his family interfered with
efficient study.
On motion of Dr. Davis, duly seconded, it was unanimously decided that Mr. Chelton is to be “eligible for reconsideration for admission" to the
next freshman class.
Reporting of Final Marks:
Dean Patterson once more stressed the necessity for sending in promptly to the Dean's Office the final marks of the students of the various classes at the end of each semester, 2

In the case of the four following students, no grades in Surgery
were recorded on the report sent to the Dean's Office on Monday, 25 June,
1945. On inquiry, Dr. Aycock's secretary, shortly before the meeting
of the Committee on 26, June 1945, reported that Dr. Aycock could not find the examination books of these men. This statement was later confirmed by Dr. Aycock. Since the records of these students for the year are otherwise good, and inasmuch as no effort was made by Dr. Aycock to get in touch with them through the Dean's Office, and as the Committee has no evidence of their being absent from the examination in surgery, it is recommended that they be given a grade in surgery the equivalent of their general average for the other eight subjects taken in the second year.
Hogan Rasch Mattern Sacks
On a motion, duly seconded, it was voted without dissenting voice, to give Hogan, Mattern, Rasch and Sacks each a grade in the Principles of Surgery the equivalent of his general average in the other second year courseSe

the Faculty Board, by unanimous
On a motion, duly seconded, vote, accepted the report.
Dr. Spear inquired as to the feasibility of informing
members of the faculty teaching fourth year students of the failing and
low grades of the borderline men advanced from the third year. The inquiry was later broadened to include giving similar information to the appropriate teachers of the third and second year classes concerning border- line students advanced from the second and first years, respectively.
Dr. Spear stated that such information would be of value to teachers in aiding and counselling the weaker students.
Dean Patterson stated that the Dean's Office would, in the future, give this information to the appropriate members of the faculty.

Report of Students Warned
The reading of the minutes of the previous meeting was dispensed with, except that attention was called to the agreement to notify department heads _ regarding the relative standing of students with border-line records. Dr. Wylie reported that he had prepared letters of warning, and would endeavor to provide a concise report to the department heads, showing the names of those students who had been warned,
Executive Committee Meeting
It was reported that the Executive Committee had met on July 11, 1945 to consider appeals for reconsideration from students who had been dropped from the first and second years. The Faculty Board was notified that the status of — these students was not changed.

Dr. Aycock moved and Dr. Uhlenhuth seconded a motion to the effect that the Medical School reconvert to the standard medical course beginning April 1, 1946 if possible. An amendment was added by Dr. Amberson and accepted, that if reconversion were possible, the holidays and periods between semesters © be extended to consume some of the free time of the classes involved. The motion, as amended, was passed.

Dr. Bubert moved that the Admissions Committee be given discretionary power to accept students having 60 or more semester-hour credits. This privilege is to extend to the freshman class entering in September 1946. The motion was seconded by Dr. Wright and passed.
Anticipated Number of Students for 1946,
Dr. Amberson asked for a statement on the anticipated number of students for the 1946-1947 classes. Dr. Wylie warned that the number of bona fida applicants cannot be determined at this time, even though there will — probably be hundreds of applications from returning veterans. He stated that it was not possible to predict, under present restrictions set up by Selective Service System, the number of students in the 1946 entering class.

Report of the Committee on Postwar Planning
Dean Patterson presented the report of the Committee on Postwar
Planning. The disucssion of this report showed that the members of the Faculty
Board were of the opinion that no formal refresher courses could be given. However, whenever possible we should accept for further training in the University Hospital our own men whose training in the University Hospital had been interrupted by service in the Armed Forces.
On motion by Dr. Sacks, duly seconded, their report was accepted, and their recommendation adopted that a committee consisting of nine (9) members (three preclinical and six clinical), and a chairman be appointed. The committee shall consult and make direct inquiry with the various services and departments to determine exactly what graduate and postgraduate courses may be offered soon or in the future, and report their recommendations through the Dean to the Faculty Board. They shall, if such courses are instituted, serve ,the group to whom applications may be referred. Finally, in the case of each pplicant they shall obtain the approval of the head of the department concerned before authorizing the admission of the applicant to any course that may be offered.
Deceleration Dr. Wylie stated that the Army would offer no objection to the dis- continuance of the accelerated program by the Medical School at the end of the

Dean Patterson reported that the meeting of the Association of American Medical Colleges held in Pittsburgh, Pa., October 29 - 31, 1945, inclusive was, due to the number of members of the faculty of various medical schools present, the largest he had attended, He again urged attendance at these meetings by members of the faculty of this School of Medicine.
The Dean stated that the Association, without objection by Selective Service or the Procurement and Assignment Service, acted favorably on the dis- continuance of the present program (9-9-9 months) of training residents and assistant residents, and interns. The Association also voted to end the accelerated program of teaching medical students as soon as possible, The Dean explained that the second and third year classes could be discontinued in March, and the first year class in May 1946 upon sixty days advance notice to the War Department, The Dean further stated that Selective Service would continue deferments of civilian students already in medical school during their medical training, provided that they were not given more than ninety days vacation at any one time.
Dean Patterson also stated that in a formal paper and with discussion it was recommended to the Association that the academic year be increased up to 356 weeks, and later to 40 weeks when feasible. It was also the general opinion that it was undesirable to give short courses in the specialties. Such courses should be incorporated in the teaching of the proper major departments. The Association also felt that there should be better liaison between the basic science courses and the clinical teaching; for example, in diabetes - a member of the Department of Biochemistry should present the biochemical aspects of such cases with the clinician or instructor giving such a lecture or clinical demonstration.
Dr. Wylie suggested that on return to the normal program of four calendar years, the medical school adopt an academic year of thirty-six weeks. For the first year, he suggested two different plans: In one, the first semest®% the course to last nineteen weeks, and the second seventeen; in the other plan, each semester would be of eighteen weeks' duration. In all other years, the two semesters should .be eighteen weeks each. On the motion of Dr. Shipley, duly seconded, it was voted
to adopt two eighteen-week semesters for all classes after the present scholastic year.
Dr. Wylie also explained that, to conform to the regulations of Selective Service, it will be necessary to keep the present second and third year classes busy from the 16 March to 14 June, 1946. He suggested that they might be given training in dispensaries. This met with the approval of Doctors Shipley, Sprunt and Douglass. Also the first year class must have its course extended to 14. June, 1946. No objection was offered to this proposal. Under the program suggested, the next school year will extend from 3 September 1946 to 14 June, 1947.
Classification of Syphilology and Dermatology
In the absence of Dr. Robinson, who had broached the subject in a letter to Mr. Sayles, Assistant Superintendent, University Hospital, no action was taken on the question of classifying Dermatology as a specialty in the Department of Surgery, and Syphilology as one in the Department of Medicine. Dr. Sprunt and the Dean felt that these both belong in the Department of Medicine.
ee I ed
Dr. Wylie explained that under the present system a student may fail in any of the following subjects: Pathology, Medicine, Neurology, Surgery, Bacteriology and Immunology, and Surgical Anatomy - and still be eligible for certification for partial State Board or National Board examinations. He therefore suggested the following rule be adopted: No student to be certified for partial State Board or National Board examina- tion who has failed to pass in all prescribed courses at the final examina- tions of the sophomore year. Such a rule, he stated, would obviate the occurrence of the embarrassing situation in which a student might pass the subjects he took before the State Board, but still be required to withdraw from the Medical School because of failures in a number of second year subjects, distinct from those in which he was to be examined by the State Board of Medical Examiners.
It was the concensus of opinion that this was too drastic a rule, Dr. Amberson moved that certification for partial State Board or National Board examinations should depend on the action of the appropriate Advance- ment Committee and that, if the Advancement Committee recommend reexamina- tion in a subject other than the essential ones, the student be certified even though the reexamination has not yet been given. This motion,’ duly seconded, was carried,
Sabbatical Year
Dean Patterson stated that the Board of Regents has adopted rules governing the granting of Sabbatical leave years to teachers of the. University of Maryland, and that he will have a copy of this to present to the Faculty Board at their next meeting.

He also acknowledged the courtesy and assistance of the Deans of various medical schools visited by sub-
| committees of the large committee since its formation.
From the Committee's study of different systems of grading and averaging grades, they conclude:
That our method of averaging grades can be simplified and improved,
That the point system should be given a trial simultaneously and compared with the results of the weighted average.
That a rule to insure uniformity and fairness in grading should be adopted.
A. To improve and simplify the methods used to average students' grades, the Committee have recommended: except for the Departments of Medicine and Surgery,
1.

Se
1.
2.
That each department (submit one grade for each student, which shall be the average for all courses taught by the department in any
‘one year.
That the departments of Medicine and Surgery shall submit two grades for each student: one to represent the grade in the Principles and Practice of Medicine or Surgery, as the case
may be; the other to represent the average in either the medical and surgical specialties. This latter, like all other grades, shall be weighted according to the number of hours listed for the courses in these specialties.
The grades submitted by each department or course shall be assigned a weight according to the method described.
The average grade for each student shall be computed for each year by multiplying the numerical grade by the corresponding weight number for that year.
The final average of a student shall be the average of the four yearly averages.
This sytem of grading was explained and exemplified by Dr. Figge.
B. It is recommended that records of the application of the point system outlined later in the report be kept for sometime to determine whether this system of ranking students would:
Facilitate the differentiation and selection of honor students
Eliminate students who consistently do poor work. They would be dropped as the result of the accumulation of uncompensated
deficiency points.
The working of the point system was also discussed by Dr. Figge. It was suggested that the comparison of the two systems (point and weighted averages) be carried out for a period of two or three years.
C. This section of the report recommends that:
1. The present committee be empowered to review the operation of the point system and advise as to its adoption as a permanent
ranking system.
2. The members of the first and second year staffs of professorial | rank shall be appointed to the committee on advancement for the first two years,
5. In addition an Advancement Committee shall be formed of the third and fourth year teachers of professorial rank. This committee may invite members of the Advancement Committee of the first and second years to take part in making decisions,
4. In view of the attitude of the student body the Committee regretfully recommend that no honor system be adopted at this time.
The report also presents a number of rules to govern advancement, dismissal, and honors.
In the second part of the report the Committee, curricular studies are described. As a result of these they recommend:
1. The establishment of a department of anesthesiology.
2. The resumption of short courses on Ethics of the Practice of Medicine at the bedside and History of Medicine after the school goes back on its regular schedule.
5. The addition of a course in Medical Economics with special reference to Hospital Management,
4. That whenever possible these short courses be given without increasing the number of contact hours allotted to the respective departments.
On motion of Dr. Douglass, duly seconded, it was voted to lay the report on the table until the next meeting. Dean Patterson announced that mimeograph copies of the report would be made and sent to each member of the Faculty Board to read and consider before the next regular meeting of that Board.

It was suggested that Associate, and all full time Assistant Professors be added to the Faculty Board, On motion, duly seconded, this was adopted.

Dean Patterson stated the Fourth Year Class has requested that they be invested with the Doctor's hood at the Commencement exercises, During _ the discussion Mr. Harne informed the Committee that at a previous rehearsal he had determined that investiture with hoods would add twenty minutes to the length of the Commencement Exercises. It was then decided unanimously to accede to this request,
Absenteeism from Classes by Members of the Fourth Year Class ea OEE LASS
Dr. Hundley complained of the excessive number of fourth year students absent from his clinics, particularly the one scheduled between 8:30 A.M. and 10 A.M. on Tuesdays, and explained that this, according to the statements of the students, was due to the necessity of their working in the Department of Obstetrics, In the course of the discussion, Dr. Douglass stated the new plan inaugurated in October 1944, under which the students were to be assigned by the Head of the Department of Obstetrics to serve in the Obstetrical Clinic of the Outpatient Department for one day every three weeks throughout the year, had proved to be unworkable. He had, therefore, returned to the former plan of assigning the students for periods of five weeks. Dr. Douglass also stated that it would be unnecessary for any of these students to absent themselves from any other clinic or class, except to attend a patient in labour. It was agreed that this arrangement would be satisfactory. Dr. Douglass stated that he regretted that he had. changed back to the previous scheme without consultation
with the Dean before doing so. The Dean stated that he would announce the change, and inform all concerned of the future requirements with respect to attendance at instruction periods,
Status of Students on the Inactive List of the Army and Navy It was decided not to take up with the War and Navy Departments the
