The class of 1959 has the distinction of being one of the groups that Dr. Frank Maxon has taught. It is not our aim in this Dedication to reiterate the many achieve- ments and honors of this line teacher and shrewd clinician. Our class, instead, wishes that this Dedication convey to Dr. Maxon our deep appreciation for his interest in us as students and our thanks for his untiring teaching efforts. It is difficult to communicate the aura a man of medicine has about him. A combi- nation of humor, an eye toward the unexpected, a boundless store of knowledge, and a sympathetic understanding of the studentis gropings toward knowledge, make Dr. Maxon the stimulating figure a medical student requires. Without his spark many subtleties.of physical diagnosis might not have been appreciated. From him we learned to be ever suspicious of the faint ripple of the skin, the unfamiliar breath sound, the pulse that does not bound true. His willingness and desire to give of himself and his time have left their mark on both heart and mind of our class. We could never forget his thoughtful pause as he waited for the student to digest the previous pearl, the corners of his mouth drawn back in a smile, his chin thrust forward. It is the thoughts that each member of this class has, and the appreciation that each of us feels, that in the last analysis serve as the reason for this dedication. To you, Dr. Frank Maxon, we offer these poor words as a symbol of our everlasting regard for your efforts and success. DR. FRANK C. MAXON, JR
