"olume 18 WINTER 1962 Number 22 MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETIN'A REPORT FROM THE CANCER COORDINATORDr. Palmer reached retirement last fallafter thirty-five years on the faculty ofthe medical school. As Emeritus Pro les­sor, he continues to be active in clinical,teaching, and research activities in thedepartment.Since 1948 he has been Coordinator ofthe Undergraduate Cancer Training Pro­gram. This is his report on the programunder his tenure.Cancer was one of the first, if not thefirst, area selected by the United StatesPublic Health Service for supportthrough Training Grants. The Univer­sity of Chicago Grant was initiated April1, 1948.Teaching in cancer covers a broad fieldranging from biochemistry, genetics,zoology, anatomy and pathology to allof the clinical departments with theirvaried interests in the etiology, course,diagnosis and therapy of diverse can­cers seen in animal and plant life as wellas in man. For this reason, with themodest funds ($25,000 per year) at hisdisposal, the coordinator has been ableto support only a few of the many pos­sible general educational methods. Atdifferent periods over the years, variousprocedures have been utilized. Fundshave always been available for studentresearch or student participation in re­search: relatively small amounts havebeen so used. The Cancer AchievementExamination devised by Dr. DavidWood and his successors in Californiawas given annually until discontinued bythem in 1959; voluntary student interestwas high. Various motion pictures con­cerning cancer were rented from time totime, placed in the student lounge andsupervised by Mrs. J essie Maclean.Weekly round table discussions in theWinter Quarter of three successive yearswere devoted to selected tumors. Fol­lowing this for three consecutive WinterQuarters, a formalized series of lecturesby distinguished workers from all partsof the United States proved very suc­cessful. In the past year, weekly cancerconferences have been held. Faculty andstudent participation has always beenexcellent.Setting Up the RegistryThe most crucial and feasible goal forgeneral education in the clinical phase By WALTER LINCOLN PALMER, '21Richard T. Crane Professor Emeritus of Medicineseemed to be the procurement of accu­rate knowledge concerning the course ofcancer and the results of treatment. Con­sequently, early in 1951, a Registry ofNeoplastic Disease and a regular Follow­up Program were established. Strange asit may now seem, there were very fewmodel programs to copy; in fact, nonewas completely satisfactory. The taskwas extremely difficult, but gradually themechanics were worked out by MissMarion Holl; histories were abstracted;the diagnoses were clarified and coded;the cooperation of the medical staff wasobtained. Miss Holl was succeeded byMr. Willard Webber, in May, 1954. In1955, Dr. Charles B. Clayman acceptedthe responsibility of the Registry andsupervised the transfer of the accumu­lated data to I.B.M. cards. In 1956, theUniversity of Chicago was one of sevenUniversity Registries, from 84 so in­vited, able to provide data for the ThirdNational Cancer Conference in Detroit;in 1960 as a member of the End ResultsGroup of the Chemotherapy Center ofthe National Cancer Institute, materialwas supplied which, with that of eight ornine other University Registries andthree State Registries, formed the basisfor Monograph No. 6 of the NationalCancer Institute, "End Results andMortality Trends in Cancer." A subse-PALMERquent analysis of these data was pub­lished in September, 1961 by the Na­tional Cancer Institute under the sametitle. Copies are available on request toMr. Willard Webber of the Registry.At the present time the University ofChicago Registry contains over 15,000cases of neoplastic disease seen since1945; nearly 6,000 are still alive; in­cluded are 2,800 cases of so-called pre­malignant conditions. Our success inFollow-up is phenomenal, between 96and 99.9 per cent depending upon thesite of the tumor.Usefulness of RegistryThe tangible and intangible values ofthe Registry cross all departmentalboundaries in the clinical areas. Thediagnostic acumen of the student aswell as of the instructor has been sharp­ened. Certain diagnoses have been re­viewed and corrected. The value of therecord has been enhanced by requiringthe clinician to provide additional datareceived in a uniform manner. Severalnew forms have been prepared for theaccurate description of tumors. Thus inmany ways the Registry has helped toimprove the records of patients. In theclinic, as a result of the follow-up, thereturn of the forgotten but surviving pa­tient is a lesson to both student and in-MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETINDEFINITIONS OF TERMS 31.

Students have participated inthe abstraction of histories and in thecoding work of the Registry, as well asin some of the research projects towhich the Registry has contributed. Inthe past four years over 60 requests forhelp have come to the Registry frommembers of the faculty interested inparticular cancers. Over 25 other insti­tutions have turned to the University ofChicago Registry for advice in the estab­lishment of a registry or the training ofpersonnel. Twelve different foreign coun­tries have studied the operation of ourRegistry. At the request of the AmericanCollege of Surgeons a comprehensiveguide to the utilization of registry datawas published in Surgery, Gynecologyand Obstetrics in January, 1961, underthe title, "The Measurement of CancerSurvival by a Hospital Registry."Data Obtained from RegistryIncluded in this final report is a seriesof charts showing the course of patientsseen at the University of Chicago withthe more important cancers and compar­ing them with the National End Re- 100'r-�:======:-mrc:iPOl!iDinoN'iii:iY--'905040�CANCER Of BREAST - FEMALELOCALIZEDU.

Theclass of 1965 consists of twelve singlewomen and 57 men, four of whom aremarried. This carefully selected group of73 individuals was chosen by our Com­mittee on Admissions from 950 appli­cants.They come from 43 different collegesand universities, and they are legal resi­dents of seventeen different states, theDistrict of Columbia, and Peru. In thisregard it is interesting to note that 111different colleges and universities arerepresented by the students in our cur­rent four medical classes which have atotal of 289 students. Although the ma­jority of the members of the class of1965 are not residents of the state ofIllinois, the largest single complement(26) does come from this state. Exceptfor the young man from Lima, Peru, allthe members of the class are native-borncitizens of the United States.As expected, the largest contingentfrom anyone school is that from theundergraduate College of the Universityof Chicago (18). There are also five stu­dents from Harvard College, four fromOhio State University, and three fromOberlin College. The complete list of allschools represented in the freshman classis as follows:Augustana College (Ill.)Ball State Teachers College (Ind.)Bethany College (W.Va.)University of California (Berkeley)UCLACarleton CollegeUniversity of Chicago (18)University of CincinnatiCity College of New YorkUniversity of ColoradoDePauw UniversityDrake UniversityEarlham CollegeEvangel College (Mo.)University of FloridaGrinnell CollegeHarvard College (5)University of Illinois (2)Illinois Wesleyan (2)Iowa State UniversityUniversity of Kansas CityKnox College CEITHAMLLehigh UniversityLong Island UniversityLoras College (Iowa)Loyola University (Chicago)Marquette UniversityUniversity of Michigan (2)Oberlin College (3)Ohio State University (4)Queens CollegeRutgers UniversitySan Marcos University (Peru)St. Joseph's College (Ind.)University of Southern CaliforniaStanford UniversitySwarthmore CollegeVanderbilt UniversityVassar CollegeWashington and Lee CollegeWellesley CollegeUniversity of Wisconsin (Madison)University of Wisconsin (Milwaukee)The average age of the entering stu­dents is between 21 and 22 years withtwo-thirds of the freshmen actually be­ing 21 or 22 years old at the start oftheir medical studies. The youngestmember of the class is a young man justturned nineteen; the oldest is a thirty­year-old who served four years in theAir Force.In selecting students for the study ofmedicine at the University of Chicago,the Committee on Admissions pays care­ful attention to both the applicant'sscholastic and non-scholastic attributes.This explains why there are eight fresh­men who had only C+ grade averagesin college, fifteen who had B or B­grade averages, and slightly more thantwo-thirds of the class (fifty) who had compiled grade averages of B+ to A inthe course of their undergraduate collegestudies. As a whole, the entering classhas an average college grade record ofB+. Ten of the entering freshmen wonPhi Beta Kappa honors and seven othersgraduated with highest honors.Of the 73 entering freshmen, 63 hadreceived a bachelor's degree before en­tering medical school while the other teneach had a minimum of three years ofcollege pre-medical studies. Ten mem­bers of the entering class had had one ormore years of graduate studies beforecoming to medical school, and one ofthese had received an M.S. degree. Onthe Medical College Admission Test,which is required of all medical appli­cants, the freshman class as a wholescored far above the national averageand as well as any of our classes in re­cent years.Four of the entering freshmen aresons of alumni, and in one case bothparents have degrees from the Univer­sity. Two of the four are sons of lawschool graduates; one of a medicalschool graduate, and one of an alumnuswho received a graduate degree in thebiological sciences.As usual the family backgrounds ofthe members of the entering class aremost varied and interesting. The occu­pations of their fathers represent across-section of the professions, indus­try, and labor. Included in this group areeight physicians, six engineers, threedentists, three pharmacists, three law­yers, a minister, an Air Force chaplain,a college professor, and an Army officerin addition to a wide variety of skilledand semi-skilled laborers, office workers,salesmen, and merchants. Similarly, 26of the mothers have careers in additionto being housewives. Eleven are schoolteachers, two each are nurses, I.B.M.operators, bookkeepers, and artists whilethe remainder includes a secretary, in­terior decorator, realtor, social worker,teletype operator, copyrighter, andclerk.The present freshman class has nowcompleted two academic quarters of thefirst year of medical studies, and it givesevery evidence of being another finemedical class of which the School ofMedicine will be justly proud.JOSEPH CEITHAMLDean of Students, Biological Sciences22 MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETINI FACULTY NEWS II GRADUATE NEWS IDean H.

McLean MedicalStudent Research Society was foundedduring the Autumn Quarter of 1961 bystudent initiative with the support offaculty sponsor, Dean H. Stanley Ben­nett, and Dean of Students Joseph J.Ceithaml.It is the purpose of the society toprovide an opportunity for communica­tion among medical students engaged inresearch, to encourage a scholarly ap­proach to the presentation and discus­sion of interesting clinical and basic re­search subjects with interested facultymembers, and to promote, thereby, aheightened incentive to further scien­tific investigation and inquiry. Member­ship is open to those medical studentsin any of the four classes who expressserious interest in the aims of the societyand who anticipate both active partici­pation in its proceedings and eventualpresentation of their areas of researchinterest before the society. The Admin­istrative Committee, consisting this yearof Joseph Baron, '62, Robert Talley,'62, John Schneider, '63, and EdwinRosenblum, '64, supervises all societyactivities.For each meeting, one student is re­sponsible for presenting his researchpaper and for personally inviting one ormore faculty guests who are called uponto emphasize the interesting and impor­tant clinical and research aspects of thepresented subject. Following individualremarks by the invited guests, the flooris open for general discussion. An ab­stract of the paper presented and noteson the discussion and attendance at eachsession are entered into the society re­cord.At an early organizational meeting itwas unanimously agreed by the studentspresent to ask Franklin C. McLean, '10,Professor Emeritus of Pathological Phys­iology and first Director of the Univer­sity of Chicago Clinics, to permit theuse of his name for the society. It wasfelt that his rare combination of clinicaland research gifts, with his continuinghumanitarian efforts in medical educa­tion, would be an ever-inspiring exampleto those associated with the society. Dr.McLean consented and has taken an ac­tive interest in society affairs.The first meeting of the McLean Societywas held in the Argonne Conference Roomat 7:30 P.M. on November 16, 1961. Follow­ing introductory remarks by Dean Bennettviewing the society in historical perspective, the first paper, entitled "Antibiotics andGrowth," was presented by Joseph Baron,'62. Aspects of both bacterial and host me­tabolism with reference to the fuechanism ofantibiotic growth-promoting effects, werediscussed. The faculty guests of the eveningwere Allan T. Kenyon, Rush '26 (Medi­cine-Endocrinology), Paul Talalay (Bio­chemistry), and Willard Visek, '57 (Phar­macology). Participants in the stimulatingdiscussion that followed were Dean Ceit­haml, Ann Budy (Physiology), and sixteenmedical students representing all fourclasses.At the beginning of the second meeting onDecember 14, Dr. McLean spoke briefly,formally lending his name to the society.The paper of the evening, entitled "Studiesof the Blood Brain Barrier," was deliveredby Mark Goldberg, '62. Charles Barlow,'47 (Medicine-Neurology) was the specialfaculty guest. Studies of factors influencingselectivity of the barrier were presented inan effort to define -its nature more clearly.On January 18, 1962, the third paper waspresented by Leonard Lyon, '62. The topicwas "The Porphyrias" and the faculty guestswere Allan Lorincz, '47 and Roger Pear­son (Medicine-Dermatology), LawrenceBogorad (Botany), and Richard Blaisdell,'48 (Medicine-Hematology). Basic porphyrinbiochemistry in plants and animals, as wellas studies of genetic and clinical diagnosticaspects of metabolic defects in this area,were discussed.On February 22, Lawrence Lessin, '62presented his paper entitled "Pituitary-«Structure and Function." The special facultyguest was Ira G. Wool, '53 (Physiology).Electron microscopic and histochemical ap­pearances of the pituitary gland were corre­lated with functional variations of clinicalinterest. In addition, the fundamental prob­lem of endocrine cell differentiation was dis­cussed with reference to pituitary neoplasiaand trophic hormone secretion. McLEANRobert Talley, '62, presented "Experi­mental Silicosis" on March 29. The effectsof steroid treatment on the maturation andprogression of the silicotic nodule in rodentliver were discussed and the implicationswith reference to basic connective tissue bio­chemistry and pathology were considered.Faculty guests were Benjamin Burrows,John Kasik, '54, Albert Niden (Medicine­Chest), Albert Dorfman, '44 (Pediatrics),and Frank Fitch, '53.Richard Rogers, '62, will present "En­docrine Influence on Gastric Secretion" inApril and James Sheinin, '62, will present"Serum Enzymes-Pathophysiologic andDiagnostic Significance" in May.JOSEPH BARON, '62Photo credits: Archie Lieberman, pp. 1-21; Jon Pownall, p. 22; Leonard Lyon,'62, p. 24.BULLETINof the Alumni AssociationThe University of ChicagoSCHOOL OF MEDICIlYE950 East Fifty-ninth Street, Chicago 37, IllinoisVOL. 18 WINTER 1962 No.2EDITORIAL BOARDJESSIE BURNS MACLEAN, SecretaryWRIGHT ADAMS ROBERT J.
