u EVERY TIME I HEAR YOU BEEf^The Finale of the annual Medical Student-Faculty Show paid tribute to the "plastic beeper, loud and gray." The program saluted a number of distinguished faculty and many aspects of medical center life with similar irreverent dignity in such songs as "Follow the Color Code Signs," "Yore in Pain," and several others which were equally entertaining and some unprintable. The show, "Zen and all the beer you can drink," was staged April 23 in Card Gym. (Photo by John Becton) New Book Fund Enhances Medical History A new book fund for the history of the neurosciences will serve as a focus for studies in the neurosciences at the medical center. The fund has been established in memory of Dr. Irwin A. Brody, an associate professor of neurology who died in October 1976. In addition to book purchases, each year a medical student or member of the house staff will be named the Irwin A. Brody Scholar and will be invited to make special use of the collection for writing a paper or organizing a symposium on the history of the neurosciences, said Terry Cavanagh, curator of the History of Medicine Collection in the Medical Center Library. The Brody Book Fund will add “a new dimension to the great History of Medicine Collection in the Medical Center Library,” com mented Dr. William G. Anlyan, vice president for health affairs. "Private institutions like -ours are greatly indebted to this kind of generosity. “We are deeply interested in Irwin's specicil hobby of the history of the neurosciences," ArJyan said, "and will cherish having his name associated with the university in this immortal way." First Purchases Three books have been purchased so far: — Raymond Vieussens' Neurographia Universalis (Lyon 1685). This book was based on 10 years of work and dissection of 500 cadavers.
