From four years oi medical school, along with a thorough scientific education, let us hope that at least some at our colleagues have acquired a sense of the great re- sponsibility to society which each of us assumes in accepting a medical doctorate. As American Medicine makes great ad- vances there remains much to be done in the field of medical sociofeconomics. With the help of the American physicians l fervently hope the future may bring the betterment ol the economic and educa- tional conditions of internes and medical students, the improved distribution al the finest possible medical care to all our people, and the eradication of the social cancer of discrimination both in medical education and in the administering of medical care, a rhyme, MONROE E.
