acting as members OF the faculty.
Recently the surgeon general invited
certain distinguished physicians Wh1
hold commissions in the army medlca'
reserve corps TO address the students.
who are junior commissioned officers OF
the regular and reserve branches OF the
medical department.. The special lecturers
included Dr. Roswell Parke, of Bunaio;
b. Murphy. of Chicago. and DR. LampeI-
ton and Dr. Henry G. Coe, of New YORK.
These physicians will be designated as
special professors on the recommenoatloi

some question as to whether the lecturers
and the heads of the departments OF the
rGcdical school should be designated as
professors or assistant professors. ne
