We hope they are pleased with it. To Dr. William Peete, as well as many of the resident and faculty staff who have re- minded us of the value it will accrue in years to come, we extend our thanks for their encouragement. Dean Davison, Dr. Jay Arena, Dr. Bill DeMaria, Dr. George Baylin, and Sam Agnel- lo have graciously given material and suggestions. We sincerely appreciate the financial aid from Dean Davison who covered the fees for photographic enlargements. We are grateful to Mr. Elon Clark, Raymond Howard, Marie Price and T. M. Ellis of Medical Illustrations for their patient forbearance in taking and enlarging many last photographs and preparing publicity. Thad Sparks assisted with photography. Much of the credit for assembling the latest yearbook belongs to Mr. Wallace Seeman of The Seeman Printery. The marvels he has accomplished with illegible copy, rough dummy and delayed deadlines are gratefully acknowlzdged. Finally, to our advertisers and the drug salesmen who aided in obtaining their compa- nies' interest and ads, we express our thanks most heartily. PAGE 5

Foreword Even the most assiduous Workman will from time to time stand back to get a more general view of his work and to contemplate its wider relations. In- deed, such intermissions are necessary if he is to escape the tyranny of detail, and they need only the defence of a reasonable infrequency and of being ac- tually employed in their ostensible purpose. However austerely, therefore. we may hold the view that a school is best occupied in doing its job of teach- ing, we shall probably be willing to allow it the privilege and even to enjoin on it the duty of an occasional suspension of this task .... We can be fairly assured that communication between teacher and stu- dent is not to-day seriously restricted in the supposed interests of dignity and discipline on the one hand, or of the independence and self-assertion on the other. Indeed, a medical school is one of the few places of education where communication is constantly supported by the certainty the student may feel that the teacher is always willing to teach and by the similar certainty the teacher may feel that the student, in spite of whatever appearance to the con- trary, is always willing to learn .... We do not therefore need for our present purpose the usual attitude of critical inquisition, but rather the mood taught us by experience of our cli- mate and of human nature-the mood of philosophic resignation.

Courtesy Trent Collectionj No bubble is so iridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacher. Sir William Osler It is not for the obvious reason-an expression of gratitude for time, patience or knowledge-that we dedicate this AESCULAPIAN to you, the Faculty. Rather, it is because of your imbuing medicine with a touch of your own personalities, transforming voluminous data to actual understanding, and illuminating case histories with the insight of experience, that we shall remember you.
