' Dedication SENIOR MEDS 0 l965 o SENIOR MEDS o I965 o SENIOR MEDS o l965 0 Qlune, l965, marks not only the culmina- tion of 4 years of didactic medical training, but also, as well as perhaps more so, the he- ginning of lives and careers charted pri- marily by integrative thinking. lt cannot be ' denied that living is a progressive series ot i adaptations to new experiences: but, it must I not be forgotten that the degree of accom- plishment is no doubt proportional to the facility with which one can see changes, the basic principles of these changes, and the in- tegral parts which together have wrought these changes. Change is the very essence of this era, and to use a trite clicheg everything changes but change itself. The past four years have necessitated the acquisition of new knowledge, the reinforce- ment of old knowledge, and the appreciation of the common denominator which is charac- teristic of bothgsummarilyg the comprehen- sion and iinplementation of fundamental W. principles. Cognizance of the essentiality of DR. SABURO HARA this idea has provided a mecca for teacher and student . . . for Dr. Saburo Hara, and the Medical Class of l965. Dr. Hara, a member of a family prominent in medical and literary circles in japan, has brought to our classroom a combination of the education and philosophy of the east coupled with training and experience of the west. The net result is a philosophy which states that the teacher should not teach just what he knows, for to do so would limit the student, but should instead teach in a manner which will guide the stu- dent and acquaint him with means of grasping the nucleus of a subject. ,l-Ie feels that this method affords the student continual enlargement of his realm of knowledge while enabling him to cope with and help for- mulate the future. lt is the potential of the future, in its varied totality, which perpetuates Dr. l'lara's zeal in teaching, re- search, and practice of medicine. 'Incorporating some of the eastern philosophy of, 'not yet,' he has en- deavored to initiate a cycle in which yesterdays student was trained for today, and, in turn, today's stu- dent shall he prepared for tomorrow. 'His goal is to make the steadfast and historically renown lvleharry clinician of the past, and the researcher, teacher, and clinician of the future. The Medical Class of 1965 is grateful to Dr. Hara for the tangible, and more so, intangible gestures he has madeg however, we should be remiss if the record did not. at least, list our appreciation for the em- pathy and teaching he gave in the past, advice in the present, and guidance coupled with faith in our future. For these reasons, we, the Medical Class of l965, proudly dedicate our lXlliHARRlAN to Hara Sahuro Sensei, teacher, researcher, clinician, and prognosticator. Page 18
