He remembered Philipp leaving for his residency. He had walked along the platform as fast as he could while the long train moved away from the station. He could still see his friend laughing, cheerful, exuberant, leaning out of the window and waving his white handkerchief with exaggerated gestures, shouting: "//Auf Wiedersehen//, Johann! Long live medical science!"=====

**SUMMARY: ** The chapter opens with Johann in the courtroom, remembering Philipp again. He remembers when Philipp left for his residence, full of hope for Germany. A flashback begins. On Philipp's train ride to his residency with Alfred Hoche in Freiburg. The visual details of all Philipp sees from his window give the reader a strong sense of what the German countryside is like. Philipp is both nervous and excited upon his arrival. He meets Hoche that evening and learns the schedule for the first day. Hoche is brisk and stern. On the first day. Philipp and the other two residents, Pelcher and Schetezler. follow Hoche on his rounds at the psychiatric clinic. Hoche expresses his view that "walking shadows" should not be permitted to live, draining resources, while people with potential die of starvation. Philipp agrees with this mind-set seeing no alternative solutuon for such "useless eaters." This topic is persued again at the mid-day meal at Hoche's. Louise, Hoche's assistant, takes an interest in Philipp. They begin to court. Louise is a modern Jewish woman who believes religion is a restraint people should strive against in pursuit of their personal interests. The chapter closes with Louise taking Philipp's hand and confessing she is growing increasingly fond of him. =Vocabulary:=
