an observation on the organization of medical practice the place that the physician holds in a given society is deternzined by a variety ojfactors of which the most important are the social and economic structure ofthat society, the valuation ofhealth and disease by that society, the tasks it sets to its physicians, and finally the technology ofnzedicine available to the doctors in such a period. these factors have changed a great deal in the course oftinte and so has, consequent! y, the position ofthe physician. -henry e. sigerist the place ofthe physician in modern society H9462 gi f 'R r 1,11 5Y'5.f'1f'?7' -. np.

I-Columbia University A university exists as a community dedicated to rational discourse, and the use of communi- cation and persuasion as the means of furthering that discourse . . . K from a resolution by Professor Daniel Bell adopted at cz special meeting of the Faculty ofColuinbia College, April 24th, 1968.2 We, the striking students of Columbia Univer- sity, believe in the right of all people to partic- ipate in the decisions that aifect their rights. An institution is legitimate only if it is a struc- ture for the exercise of this collective right. The people who are affected by an illegitimate insti- tution have the right to change it . . trelease of the Strike Steering Committee, April 28th, 1968.2 I4 SOME BRIEF THOUGHTS ON STUDENT REBELLION In their search for a new sense of continuity and santeness, adolescents lzave to regfight many ofthe battles of earlier years, even though to do so they must artificially appoint perjectly well-meaning people to play tlze roles ofadversaries. . . YE. H. Erilfsong Childhood and Society, 1965. There are two possible explanations for student unrest. One is that there is a need to rebel, as ERI KS ON suggests, which will express itself'irrespective of issues. The other is that there are aspects of society generally or specifi- cally Qfuniversity society, which provoke rebellion. 1 The rebellion ofthe students, which lzas exploded all over the world, may well be only a facet ofthe great, partly unrecognized revolution in which, according to Julian Hux1ey,3 we have been living since tlze beginning of this century. Clearly tlze reasons for the students' revolt are ntanifolde social, economic, technical, psychological, and political, as well as acadenzic. Will a new system emerge from all this wlzich will modernize university organization, improve teaching and research facilities .... 9 The answer to these questions will depend on the intellectual nzaturity and the democratic loyalty ofthe reformers. The persistence of the enraged spirit among some and the political innocence ofeven nzore may be major obstacles. There is no doubt that we are living through a revolution, and, as Huxley pointed out. it may be effected in a democratic or a totalitarian way. 3 1. Lancet, March 23rd, 1968, p. 625. 2. Huxley. J.

M-Sir William Osler, M.D. 118951 Health is not just a medical matter, it is a social and economic one. Com- prehensive medicine often requires an interdisciplinary approach. -Kenneth E. Appel, M.D. 119571 Access to the means for attainment and preservation of health is a basic human right. -Presiderzfs C Omnzission 011 the Health Needs ofthe Nation 119521 I6 CRISIS IN AMERICAN MEDICINE ln ternts ofgross national product tlte L'.S.A. spends more on health tltan does any other countrr. But costs are rising at such a rate tltat ntore and ntore people will find it difficult to get com- plete lzealth care. This particularly applies to tlte poor, the old, the Negroes, and other disadvantaged groups. Doctors and lzos- pital beds are distributed most ll11r?V611f-1' botlt in broad geographic regions attd between states. There are indications, too, that the quality ofcare has been inferior, especially in 1617715 ofantenatal and infant mortality. The whole organization of' medical care in the L'.S.A. has jailed to respond to cltanging disease patterns, the move from counttji' to cities, industrialization, and the increasing proportion ofold people in the population. The public, however, are beginning to dentand ntore and better health-care services, as is indicated in the spate oflegislation which Congress has passed in the pastvfew years. The spate ofhealth legislation enacted in the United States in the pastjew years provides some measure ofthe scope and magnitude oftlie changes taking place. Among thekfacets ofthe lzealth mac- rostructztre ajjected are manpower, buildings and equipment, finance, delivery, and organization. Thekfollowing list of enacted legislation, jar from complete, is only illustrative: the Manpower Development and Training Act of'1962,' the Nurse Training Act of1962,' the Health Professions Educational Assistance Act of 19635 the Allied Health Professions Act of 19665 tlze Mental Re- tardation and Community Mental Health Construction Act of 19635 the Hospital and Medical Facilities Amendments of' 19645 the Heart Disease, Cancer, and Stroke Act of' 19655 and the Comprehensive Health Planning A ct of. 1966. Over-shadowing all ofthese developments, ofcourse, are the Social Security Amend- I7 ments of' 1965 which expanded governmenfs role substantially in thef?nancing ofthe cost ofmedical care, both for the aged iMedi- carej andfor the indigent and medically indigent CMedicaidJ. Activity of such breadth and intensity is not without provocation and purpose. It represents a response to an increasing dissatis- faction and frustration on the part ofthe American public with regard to the performance of their system of health-care services. Despite unprecedented achievement and accomplishment in medi- cal science and technology, there is widespread and serious talk ofa health crisis in the country. At the broadcast level, there seems to be a clear and growing rec- ognition among the American public and policy makers that the system through which health care is provided must be improved. At the nzoment American health-care services are largely unor- ganized, uncoordinated, and unplanned. To bring them more closely in balance with the potential of modern science and rising public expectation, it seems imperative that hitherto fragmented parts Kpatients, health-workers, and the arrangements for provid- ing care! be brought together in some more rational and logical system. 1 1.
