r £ S fi =3 t £ L m J « § He that publishes a book runs a very great hazard, since nothing can be more impossible than to compose one that may secure the approbation of every reader. — Cervantes. The editors are well aware of this hazard. We only hope that this publica- tion will serve to recall the people and events that were instrumental in starting our medical education. To include everyone and everything that helped to grant us the privilege of becoming a doctor is beyond the scope of any book. Each of us has her own wealth of experiences that will always be with her — and only a very few can be shared with others. We all can share the emotion of our own first black bag; the passing of the National Boards; the mixed emotion of hearing yourself paged for the first time. But none of us can really share or explain all the happenings that had to occur to make us become doctors. There are too many and they are too private. They involve parents, teachers and the patients. The editors hope this book will enable you to look at a picture or read a name and say I remember — . And with that remembering have a renewal of each happy and meaningful l ' r,fr.

DEDICATION Miss Ida Draeger Librarian We, the class of 1969, gratefully dedicate this year ' s edition of the IATRIAN to Miss Ida Draeger and her staff. Working under impossible conditions; lack of space, noise, a small budget, demanding students and faculty; Miss Draeger and her staff have always responded with cheerfulness and genuine concern. A seem- ingly impossible task is made possible and performed with proficiency and effi- ciency by these women. We are proud and grateful to each and all of them. In 1963 Miss Draeger was given an award by W.M.C. for 25 years of service, and it was said at that time, that generations of students have profitted from her calm and helpful administration of the library. She has added six years to that service with the same helpful administration. She has been a loyal member of the Medical Library Association and has served on many committees of that organ- ization. Miss Draeger received a B.S. in Education from the University of Penn- sylvania; a B.S. in Library Science from Drexel Institute and worked as a library assistant at the University of Penna. before coming to WMC. She belongs to Pi Lambda Theta, the Medical Library Association, the Special Libraries Associa- tion, and t he Association American Medical Colleges. She has served on the Committee on Interlibrary Loans; was the Chairman of Committee on Criteria for Medical School Libraries; served on the Subcommittee on Recruitment, and was Chairman, Medical Library Association, Philadelphia Regional Group. She has published several papers and is listed in the Who ' s Who of American Women. She is a very active member of the Pilgrim Baptist Church in Cheltenham.
