The Graduating Class of 1948, respectfully dedicate this book to Dr. W. E. Saunders. Dr. Saunders, always cheerful, always encouraging, is sadly missed by us all. Dr. W. E. Saunders With the passing of Dr. Saunders we lose one more of those valuable men who have helped to make the medical profession an honorable and respected one. During his associations here he gathered unto himself a wide circle of people who all sincerely mourn his loss and with every good reason. He was not only interested in the disease the patient suffered from, he was also inter¬ ested in their family, their likes and their dislikes, and they placed their confidences in him knowing well that they were safe in his keeping. He started his practice of medicine in the horse and buggy days where a real man learned that he could not get his own food or rest until his horse was attended to first. He carried ' that same thought through life and did his best to see that his patients were comfortable before he looked after himself. He made a wide circle of friends amongst his medical associates and the nursing staffs and individual nurses with whom he came in contact. He was the true general practitioner. The type of man the medical profession can ill afford to lose. - -Dr. L. S. Mackid. Five

MISS A. HEBEKT, R.X. Superintendent of Xurscs TO THE 1948 GRADUATING CLASS Graduation—the close of student days and the commencement of the work for which you have shown an able aptitude. May life grant you a true appreciation and the opportunity to teach those with whom you live and work, the higher joys, reverence, duty and com¬ passion: their objects are supremely precious, and the gladness they give is to be valued above all else. Let your goal be altruism which seeks the good of others. When that which is real and true is pursued with sincerity and scientific knowledge, then happiness must surely follow. Sincerely, A. HEBERT.
