J. Scott X-Raj Senior Class History IN LOOKING back over llie past Ic.ur years our thoughts go back to the time when we looked forward to the attainment of a doctor ' s degree as the end and aim of existence. We were afire with am- bition of a very short sighted nature as we see now when we near the end of our course. Our ideals have changed, and with them our ambitions have changed too as we see ourscKes, not nearing a goal but reaching a milestone. We have not changed our attitudes so much as we have thought. They have been changed for us. In our first year we sometimes became impati ent with the strict routine which was imposed upon us. Long hours in classrooms and at the dissecting table have taught us more than the answers to the questions to be asked. They have taught us patience. The second year gave us more than the ability to look down a microscope for hours without tiring or set up tedious experiments so that they looked tidy and worked well. We used our hard won patience and gained skill «ith our hands tor delicate work. During these two years we learned to admire the msn who taught us. We saw in their lives a (]uality of faithiulness to their work wliieli had its influence on us. In our first clinical year, the thin.1 ol the medical course, we began to realize that we were gaining our skill and patience for a purpose. How strange it was to examine a patient — not to demonstrate to the instructor that your method of work was acceptable, but to see for yourself what could be found with the method. We began to feel very powerful and import- ant because they worked, not realizing with sufiicient gratitude that it was old to those who helped us learn, and (hat they would often rather have done the work themselves than witness our painfully clumsy efforts. Nevertheless, we continued our services, going from one to the other with a feeling of regret that we had not learned all we could. So we see how our attitude has changed, how changed we hardly know. We have leaned on those who are our teachers and have gained immeasurably from the contact. We see that our time here has been spent in laying a foundation. We are still in need of help, but we must learn to help ourselves. We are the ones who must finish the work of building. Then when we are through and have come to the end of life, may we look at the house we have built on our foundation and be satisfied with the results we have oblainetl — a hie of uselulness and work well done.
