Mlgh on a mount gleamed a tiny speck — the caduceus — symbol of our hopes and aspirations, so dimmed by distance that outlines of serpents and staff were scarce discernible. The prize was dear, but the path looked devious, the ascent steep, and the way circumvented with dangers. And so we stootl, shackled by the chains of fear and misgivings. But in each breast burned a strong fire of determination to reach and to claim the caduceus, to break the bonds of ignorance, to attain that knowledge which IS the tather of confidence in oneself, to become skillful because of confidence and ultimately use that skill in the service of mankind. Thus we began the climb. Mazes of Anatomy, Bio- chemistry, Embryology and other fundamental studies confronted us. Deep interest, toil and patience, in due time, revealed their intricacies. One milestone passed. Then, like a dense log. Physiology, Pathology and Physical Diagnosis descended upon us. Slowly the heavy white curtain of obscurity melted away when llametl bv our earnest endeavors. With new energy we prepared for the third mile- DiHicult folk inhabited these parts. Obstetrics, Medi- cine, Pediatrics, Surgery and other strange clans greeted us casually, then lured us on to a closer ac- quaintanceship. Many long hours were spent in learning to understand their individual personalities, and in finally gaining assent to pass unmolested through their lands. Somewhat breathless, but unilaunted, we ap- proached the final mile. Fascinating hazards loomed before us — work on the wards, deliveries outside the hospitals, patients of our own in the clinics. At times Death and Discouragement stared us tauntingly in the face. How little we knew after all! But some- times to the oft-repeated phrase, Well, sir, how are you feeling today. ' would come the happy response, Much better. Doctor. Lines of pain and anxiety were replaced by a cheerful countenance and a hopeful smile. Then it was that the room seemed flooded with a light preternaturally bright, and reasonably so, for atlded to the sun ' s rays were those of the blazing caduceus — radiant symbol of healing — no longer ihmmed bv distance. 1 4
