THE FACULTY We regret that some familiar faces are absent from the photographs of the Faculty on this page. To find a single day and hour when all Faculty members could be together is almost impossible: however. the attendance at the monthly faculty meeting at which these photographs were taken was the highest for many months. .Q fag Front row, left to right: Dr. Edward Suchman, Dr. George Rosen, Dr. Harold Brown, Dr. Bea- trice Mintz, Phyllis B.

MESSAGE FROM DR. TRUSSELL Qinlumhla Qklnlhersltp SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND ADMINISTRATIVE MEDICINE of va: FACULTY OF MEDICINE soo wzsr new smear, New wan zz N v To the Class of '6o: Every class that passes through the School has certain distinctive characteristics w'h:l.ch draw the attention of the Faculty. Each year some Faculty member will say, somshow this class is d:l.fferent. On the lighter side, it is certainly true that the talent which appears at the Class parties each year varies widely and somehow seems the' best yet. Only the lanrpooning of epidemiology is constant from year to year - nevertheless there is always a fresh approach to the five steps to the lhoad Street pump. Perhaps the one characteristic which does not change from class to class is that of sincerity. There are far too few of you, and it is fortunate for the public you serve that you are sincere - a trait not always found in all forms of human endeavor. Your endeavor, however, which will be to protect and restore the publicls health cannot be tarnished by insincerity nor do I think it ever will ba. The Faculty wish you success and the courage to use your slclll and your common sense. A great many people will live or die depending on how well you do so. We are proud to have had you with us for one year of what we hope and expect will be a professional 1ifet:l.me of continued self-education and growth. Q 57mm Ray E. q1'Ar1sssll,M.D. ,M.P.Fl.

HE s Ourselves, Our Environment and Our Future Five continents-Africa, the two Americas, Asia and Europe-are represented at the Columbia School of Public Health and Administrative Medicine in the academic year that is endingg also to be remembered is the fact that this truly international graduating class of 1960 is the largest in the history of the School. These two factors could have resulted in many points of friction within the somewhat narrow confinement of the overcrowded building in which we have heard a variety of lecturers, attended many seminars, organized frequent so- cial events and, unfortunately, presented ourselves for examination. But, looking back over the past year, we can say without hesitation that a more congenial and co-operative group would be difficult to find. History of the School Beginning in 1754 as King's College Cafter George IIJ, and with its name changed to Columbia College in 1784, Columbia University has had a medical faculty since the same period. However, as one would expect, in view of the comparatively recent history of Public Health as a specialty, the giving of formal instruction in this field has only occurred in this century. A bequest in the will of Joseph R. DeLamar provided the necessary financial support to establish an Institute of Public Health in 1921, with Dr. Haven Emerson as the first full- 4
