and the new, we learned of the gradual transition in medicine brought about by the additions to our knowledge and the greater understanding due to modem medical research. Summation of our train- ing, then, finds it based on three funda- mentals: Clj a thorough basic medical knowledge, CZD the knowledge of the value of experience, and C3j the knowl- edge of the necessity of striving to keep abreast of modern research and taking part in it. To meet our ideal of being a good physician by the adherence to these principles means that our training here has been a mere preliminary to the con- stant striving for greater knowledge in the years to come. When we entered our medical train- ing, Hahnemann was under the shadow. The less said about that era the better: but let it never be forgotten-a valuable lesson lest we again slip into the depths. Let us, rather, proudly acclaim the new Hahnemann which has become one of the leaders in medicine, rising surely to glorious heights. Some departments, of course, have made greater strides than others. Our Department of Thoracic Sur- gery, under Dr. Bailey and his associates, is unsurpassed in this country and univers- ally recognized. But the other departments are not far behind, and are slowly and constantly gaining recognition. Since our training was during the transition period, we were frequently the guinea pigs for many of the new pro- grams. Mistakes were made, tempers frayed and time was all too fleeting. But looking back, this was a glorious adven- ture on a plane we had never before en- countered. Today we are again faced with a national emergency. We can again expect numerous changes during the next few years, but we feel that we have been well prepared in many ways to face the future with courage and humility. The Editor
