To Harold W. Brown 1 This yearbook is dedicated to Dr. Harold W. Brown by the members of the class of 1967. In 1943. as Professor of Parasitology, he organized the first separate course in Parasitic Diseases given at P 61 S. It is in recognition ofthe quality of this course and the broad contribution it has made to our education that we wish to remember Dr. Brown. His lectures are a delight-beautifully organized, clearly presented, and filled with relevant humor. His textbook shows these same characteristics and is remarkable for a medical textbook in the ease and effectiveness with which it communicates. Apart from the excellence of his course, we shall remember him for his enthusiasm and human values. Dr. Brown points out the world-wide importance of diseases seldom seen in our country and the relationship of ignorance, poverty, religion, and customs to their spread. He has enabled many of us to participate in these medical problems first-hand in his overseas program. Medicine in the Tropics. Dr. Brown is a dedicated teacher who obviously enjoys life. The world has been his classroom. He organized the medical school ofthe University of Puerto Rico and reorganized the medical school of the National Taiwan University. Ethiopia, Haiti, lava, Bali, Malaysia, and Korea all know him. We students sense his enjoyment of teaching. NVe respond to it. Learning becomes stimulating, and, of great importance, fun.
