Theme FOR a theme, of this record, we searched far and wide. Should it portray the future, as many things in our life at present do, or should we go back, far back, into the past? Our record being dedicated as it is to a man whose life portrays sincerity and gentleness to the nth degree it became doubly hard to choose a theme. Finally it was determined that we should look back to those days of Gothic architecture. And what could be more appropriate than a stained glass, cathedral window? Could anything be more representative of sincerity and gentleness? Well perhaps, and so to this we added a poem here and there. What could be more complete, a Gothic window frame, with new and then a window which portrays modern art. 2 But that is not all. One does not know what is behind a stained glass window without having once been there. And is medicine not a stained window-pane to the public, to those who cannot or have not viewed the scene behind? And so when we, wlrohayae been behind that hidden screen, look through this book, we will recall many lthings which have not been printed here but remain firmly embedded in our memories. Things which we cannot tell, so many things common only to us, as the Class of '33, So, to us who glance through this record in the future, let us recall, The knowledge which a man can use is the only real knowledge which has life and growth in it, and converts itself into practical power. The rest lays like dust above the brain, or dries like raindrops off the stones. 6
