In these days of miracle drugs, atomic energy, dra- matically successful surgery, and political panaceas fwhich somehow always seem to restrict and circum- scribe our liberties more, making life more complex and more costlyj one looks in vain for some endowment by which one may early acquire some advantage, or headstart, in the Race of Life. Such a search is usually futile, for all the evidence so far accumulated indicates that everything medical men possess has been earned by hard work, long hours, painful effort and sacrifice, not only by our contem- poraries but by our medical forebears, for all our rights and institutions have been inherited from previous gen- erations of physicians. liew realize, or seem to compre- hend, the tremendous gifts and contributions our prede- cessors have bestowed upon us. Our temporary posses- sion of these privileges is not a casual responsibility to be lightly regarded, nor is it an ownership to do with as we please, rather, it is a trusteeship which we have no right to damage by alteration, but which we must make every effort to leave improved for our successors. Were I asked for one word of advice for you in To lllemtem of the graduating C'lafAA the practice of your profession, it would paraphrase Churchill's immortal promise of blood, sweat and tears for I would urge that you Plan for more than you can do. Then do it! Arrange more time than you can spare. Then spare it! Wlwole centuries, and generations of men and women, have contributed to medical progress. It will not be easy for you to maintain this growth nor to honorably discharge your obligations which seem to increase day by day, but-you must do itl Let each of you remember that the destiny of your profession is an imlizfidlral as well as a collective re- sponsibility. It :Inav matter what you do. Let each re- member that he is accountable to himself, that he is free to disregard the responsibilities of this trust, to stifle or smother them, yes, to kill them, or to accept, honor, cherish and nurture them to make his a better profes- sion for a better Worlci.
