Certainly provided us with an education which fitted us to take our place alongside of the graduates from other schools and fitted us to make a success of our profession. Did we not pay for this education? 1Ve did but not in full. We1'e it not for the philanthrophy and generosity of public spirited citizens who erected and endowed our buildings and equipment, it would not have been possible for us to get our medical education at Long Island: And, were it not for the men on the faculty, who did realize their obligation to the profession, and gave of their experi- ence and time unstintingly, we would not have had the opportunity of acquiring the great teachings of medicine. For those of us residing in and about New York it was a distinct advantage to have the college so accessible. There is no doubt that we owe more than we can repay. -The real evidence of our sincerity of purpose lies in the perfection of our Alumni Association. This can be accomplished by 1001311 co-peration and a determination to stand behind and do something for that which is rightfully ours and of which we are justly proud. The Long Island College Hospital has a mission. 1Ve must aid it to spread its field of usefulness and influence that others may not be denied the boon so generously bestowed upon us. Already the recent graduates have seemed to grasp and realize these pertinent facts, and there is evidence of a renewed interest throughout the body of the Alumni. There is much to accomplish. A drive for 551,000,000 is about to be launched. The raising of this sum is imperative. The demands upon the Institution are far greater than its resources. Four hundred men with all qualifications required by the state sought admission to the Freshman Class last year. ,lust 110 could he accommodated. The same lack of facilities postpones the time when Long Island can fully meet the demands for post graduate teaching. The future is pregnant with tremendous possibilities for our Alma Nlater. Situated in Brooklyn, a Borough of upwards of 2,000,000 people. it is the sole medical school. Its present buildings and equipment present a splendid nucleus about which can be builded and developed a g1'eat medical center. YViLh its own hospital, and the many hospitals of the Borough available, its clinical facilities should be unexcelled. The medical society of the County of Kings is already negotiating and co-operating with the College authorities upon the question of post graduate medical teaching. The drive must not, and cannot fail. It means too much to Alma lVIater, to the Alumni, to the profession at large and to the people of Brooklyn. To each Alumnus there comes an actual heritage and of him there is expected a reckoning. This should include service to his patients, interest in matters of public health and other subjects having to do with public welfare, and unselfish devotion to his profession, its ideals, traditions and progress.
