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!

They were wonderful years, being associated with kindly, sincere, enthusiastic teachers and splendid colleagues, Moreover, two men will always stand out: Dr. Donald King, with whom I spent eleven weeks on Pathol- ogy, contributed greatly lo my basic med- ical knowledge lThonks, Donl, and Dr. Hanger, with whom I spent one month on Medicine, who impressed upon me the philosophyi to act with both grace and force, ,Jewish 24 5 ,I 'xt '. f if ' ,AD , 'Ei iff X ARTHUR PERRY HALL Chestnut Hill, Mass. Harvard, A.B. Influence is sold, trust is betrayed, truth and personal integrity are depreciated while in our lifetime multitudes have pert ished to prevent it, The hope for preven- tion lies not on the battlefields but in those with the heritage of truth and in- tegrity and with the endowment of educa- tion to show, not only in their lives but in the community and nation, leadership based on these principles, We enter a respected ond trusted fraternity with the obligation of extending respect and trust beyond the confines of medicine, of being more than good doctors, of giving in pro- portion to our gifts.
