Like most of MCG's alumni, these faculty members are no longer at the college. But rather, their contributions, their dedica- tion and their service will always be a part of the heritage which molds the future of the Medical College of Georgia. And so it is i with several of our faculty mem- bers who are at MCG now and who serve to bridge the space that too often grows between the shiny, new, bigness of the present and the leaner past of a quarter century ago. These distinguished gentlemen are Dr. Lane H. AUen, Dr. Robert G. Ellison, Dr. Sam A. Singal, Dr.

"Now we have four stu- dents on our service for two weeks, and they go through so fast that it's hard to remember even last names. You remember some of them be- cause you have a certain experi- ence with them that you don't have with others. But it's nothing like the personal relationship that we used to have." Dr. Sam Singal, Charbonnier professor ot cell and molecular biology and dean of the School of Graduate Studies, has evolved what he calls the 'Singal Law' and which he applies to large institu- tions. Namely, "Personal associa- tions at institutions are not be- tween people, but between posi-

Students are much more demanding of their teachers than they were formerly. The student just puts his cards on the table. He has no hesitancy at all in saying what he expects of you or what he thinks of you, whereas 25 years ago the student was scared to death, essentially, to open his mouth and express himself, if he thought it might annoy his professor. Dr. Ahlquist, professor of phar- macology, said, "Today's students are still demanding the impossible — relevant, absolute answers to their questions." Dr. Singal recalled a description, "invented 25 years or so ago by a student doctor," of a typical medi- cal student. "It goes something like this; 'If you took a monkey, not too much smaller than an average sized medical student and took great pains to teach him not to open his mouth, he could go

White became Dean of. the School of Nursing July 1, 1971. Since that time the dean has had major effect on nursing at MCG, as well as in Georgia and the region. Before coming to MCG, Dr. White was professor and chair- man of Nurse Education at Rock- land Community College, Suf- fern, N.J. She is a former director of the Department of Education of the American Nurses' Associa- tion and has been most active in nation£il nursing organizations. Dr. White earned her EdD de- gree at Teachers College of Co- lumbia University. Her clinical preparation includes a diploma in nursing from the Long Island College Hospital School of Nurs- ing and practice as a public health nurse practitioner. The accompanying interview with MCG Today contributing editor John W. Stokes reveals some of Dean White's impact on the College and the School of Nursing, as well as some of the ebullient dean's personality.
