The day was years, the fight but short, so fast there was she held, And dying into clouds, she wept, her thunder, lightning had not held The swiftly rising dusk from ecrlh, Which sped Io darkness in the hearth Can now you see the sky?

Someone said it would take four years to get through medical school and then a lifetime to get over it. Obviously, many of the things that have been pounded into us will saan be valueless. Perhaps we can get over these things along with the distortions of our years in the towers. On second thought, alter four years there must be some things that ought to stick for future use. There can be a few principles evolved far future living through this training. l can go through a few in mind now. My question really is how much will they be altered by the time t read this again? MOLLIE ALLENSWORTH COMINSKY San Antonio, Texas Columbia, A.B. The salad days, are they o'er or iust beginning? It shall not be as now-from the shore, but hence into the swimming. No longer the lowly, Iotty irresponsible back row spectator, But soon on rounds, at conferences to be expected-os commentator tBarker, reollyl-and perhaps someday in the laboratory as creator And everywhere, and anywhere at anytime and place-upon request To answer younger student's questions to discuss, not because a test Has been announced with three weeks notice, but because now We're in the swimming and we must learn and teach and know.

Four years ol medical school were tough, but writing this is even tougher. ls it possible to have an original thought left? However, l must say that being a '4Shonker -Shanks Villager that is-was really enjoyable, and, despite the second year, school too was quite bearable, ln fact, the memory will probably become mellow when aged-a process which lor some of us is not very tar away.

n, '6 Rn., MINTON B. EVANS San Rafael, Calif. California lBerkeleyl, B.S. Beyond but including medicine is the problem of the greatest value for the per- son. What are the laws? Health and work, conflict and creation, pleasure and affec- tion are certainly involved. A science of living is possible before the solution of medical and political problems, Politically, World Federation is neces- sary and the only answer, but it will take education, guts and leadership, Anyway, the flicker of men, moths and the wolf on the hill is soon over and haw splen- did meantime was the pageant. VT ef! ROBERT ARTHUR EVANS Son Mateo, Calif. Stanford, A.B. During o brief respite at this milestone of our iourney, we can take comfort from the lessons learned along the way From them we can also predict some of the turns of the road that still remain before us. l Changing successions of errors and vi:- taries will constitute the essence of o future which will lead us, by paths that are sometimes luminous and at other times barely discernible, to goals that today seem vogue and distant, to doubts that il WINTHROP FISH Los Angeles, Calif. California, A.B. The abrupt plunge from softly filtered California sunshine to New Yorks frigid blasts must invariably provoke question as to what-in this of alternating sleet and sweat, of packed multitudes in their crazy daily rush nowhere, af booby-trapped side- walks, and of sool begrimed collars-gust what there is that holds the fond affection of so many. Four years apprenticeship should provide an lnkling, but instead, de' patture in sight, leaves me suddenly aware of a curious regret. yesterday were dogmas, to hypotheses that perhaps tomorrow will be truths.

Now life at med school has been great, And I have had o happy fate. But after four whole years at Bard, We still find stone steps cold and hard!
