The four schools — Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, and Nursing — though func- tioning as separate units, are united in the common task that falls to all who seek to cure the ills of man. Both here at the Medical College of Virginia and in the life that will follow, it is the duty of each member of these great professions to give the best that is in him with malice toward no member of a brother profession, for only with perfect unity can the great task be ac- complished.

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT By general agreement, winning the peace may be as difficult and pro- longed as winning the present war. One of the important factors in a constructive peace undoubtedly will be better international under- standing, not merely on the part of the government but as much on the part of every citizen; that means you and me. Just how is better international understanding to be achieved? Cer- tainly it will not come of itself; the past negates that definitely. Prej- udice, lack of knowledge, lack of sympathy, and just plain indifference must give way to alert interest in other peoples, based upon sound knowledge of their cultures, economic problems, and relations to other peoples. To achieve this end means work. A large mass of high class published material now appearing, much of which is available in our library, perhaps constitutes the simplest, most effective substitute for living and working in the various countries abroad. If the latter were possible, many of us would revise our notions and outlooks. However, the printed page will have to be relied upon by most of us for new atti- tudes and new understandings toward other nations. I highly commend this method as a means of perfecting in the younger generation a more promising type of global citizen. Even enlightened self-interest de- pends upon this. Dr. W. T. Sanger, President
