EDITURS' STATEME T The editing of a yearbook, and especially a medical college yearbook, is a task for the foolhardy. Any available time away from hospital responsibilities is surrendered to the cause. Friends look askance at the product, regardless. Intellectual quality, moral judgement, and a sound night's sleep are prostituted for the meeting of deadlines and the selling of advertise- ments and books. Additionally, one wants to have a unique style for the work that might possibly appeal to some majority without slighting the myriads of minorities that view the yearbook. This is not possible. Should this yearbook find favor in those reading this page, the credit must go to the senior class of 1977, Hahnemann Medical College for possessing so many aspects subject to ridicule, and those few people who worked on this yearbook. The bookis failure must remain the respon- sibility of the Editors. The title OdysseyH was chosen with deliberation, and refers to the monumental saga of ancient Greece. Those familiar with it will see at once the many parallels drawn to our medical school experiences. Those readers unable to quote the epic might find it illuminating regarding the training ofa physician. We hope that in the future a different way of medical education will yield a yearbook with the title Death Be Not Proud. In a short story entitled i'The Book of Sandf, Jorge Luis Borges epitomizes the effort of pro- ducing this Medic: Summer came and went, and we realized that the book was monstrous. What good did it do us to think, that We, who looked upon the volume with our eyes, who held it in our hands, were any less monstrous? We felt that the book was a nightmarish object, an obscene thing, that affronted and tainted reality itself. . . . The number of pages in this book is no more or less than infinite. None is the first page, none the last. We don't know why theyire numbered in this wayf, .-4-an
