Foreword Duke Medical School and Duke Medical Center have reached a turning point in their history. The entering class of the medical school will soon be half again as large as the eighty that now enter every year. These students will be taught under the new curriculum, the core courses that introduce the student to clinical medicine early in his second year. The lockers in the basement will soon be moved to the new Student Activity Center, and the amphitheatre, with its narrow aisles, splintering chairs, and confusing light switches has already been dismantled. The Medical Center Library, always a haven for exam-plagued first and sec- ond year students, as well as a stimulus for earnest conversation, will soon find a new computerized home where one need merely push a button to obtain a complete bibliography on any subject of his choosing. In this utopia there will be space adequate to accommodate the increased student body. The Medical Center will soon have an additional eight hundred beds, a new hospital chapel, and two new buildings whose space will be devoted to basic research. Our yearbook has attempted to capture this important change in the Medical Center. We have done this by presenting the case history of the Center in terms of its history, current course and prognosis. We have dedicated the book to Dr. J. E. Markee, who for over twenty-three years has helped guide the Medical School to its prominent place in American Medical Education. J. P. W. T. N. M. P. G. H. SCVCH
