Albam Medical College, through its Faculty and facilities, has enjoyed its participation in the process of your development to physician status and will continue to share with you the rewards and prestige which may come your way as a result of the services you will render in whatever branch of Medicine you elect to BBTVBU It is a source of great satisfaction that so many of you are embarking upon your lifelong program of postgraduate study by seeking an internship at the Albany Medical Center. This in itself demonstrates that you have not been unaware of the efforts of recent years which have furthered the expansion and stature of this institution. During your return to your Alma lhter from time to time, this office will relish the opportunity to interchange experiences as well as to demonstrate the innovations which will Inv! been made to continually elevate the educational and investigative stature of Albany Medical College.

5 SPECIAL COMMEMORATION Miss Mary E. Carroll, the Medical College Registrar, is, each year, the quietly efficient overseer of 200 Hedgling doctors. To enumerate her duties would take more space than is available. Just ask any student. How often we went to the mailbox and found a neatly typewritten note that said 'Tlease see me, M. E. C. and with trepidation and misgivings we crawled to the office only to learn that she had straightened out some difficulty we may have encountered with the HBoards . . . either Draft or National, to cite but one example. Those connected with SKULL know that their di-Hicult job would have been impossible without her help. She and her staff gave tirelessly of their time and effort to help bring this book to press. To M. E. C. we give an accolade and our thanks.
