Duke University School of Medicine - Aesculapian Yearbook (Durham, NC)

Foreword What, after all, is education but a subtle, slowly-effected change, due to the action upon us of the Externals; of the written record of the great minds of all ages, of the beautiful and harmonious surroundings of nature and of the lives, good or ill, of our fellows — these alone educate us, these alone mould the developing minds. sir william osler A publication such as The Aesculapian represents something a little different to each person who reads it. To the undergraduate it signifies the passing of another year, putting him closer to a desired goal. To the senior it marks the end of one phase of his medical education and the beginning of another. To the faculty it records another year in the growth of the Duke University Medical Center. But to everyone it symbolizes another year ' s accretion to his pearl of knowledge. As with one photograph, this single volume attempts to pictorialize something of that dynamic, but ethereal, process of Education of which we have all been a part this past year.
