TI-IE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY Novica C. Fnwesrg Pres, C OI. U hf B U S 1 0 COLLEGE OF MEDICINE Oiice of the Dean 'Wo man is an Ihnd zntire of itsehfq- every man is a peece of the Confirlefui a part of the maine . . . Any mania- death dxbzinllshes 'ng because I am hwolved in Alankiflde . . . john Donne, 'Devotionsu XVII To the Class of 19575 Halelxthough not farewellxbut 'au revoir to the members of the Class of 152 Down through the centuries, out of thc fullness of their living and from the contributions of those of like mind in thc world of yesterday, now emergesxas from a chrysalisxtodays atomic and nuclear-reactor age, With its rich promises for tomorrow, Conditioned though they may be by challenging warnings of potential fnisli-We and disaster tomorrow. Medical statesnien, whose years of devotion to an ideal from generation to generation, have yielded those satisfactions, which onhr such active participation in a dynamic world of accllmlllafing medical -ind scientific knowledge can give, may now hold the key in a very real sense, to the humanitarian transformation of this new knowledge into the wisdom upon which to base future years of peace, with better mental and physical health for all mankind. Such is the heritage you share today from Apollo to Osler to you. Why is it true, that every physician worthy of the name, irrespective of era or race or creed always focuses his hest intellect on the problems at hand with a resulting respect and kinship and fellowslnp, down fhrough all the ages, seldom sensed in other groups of such disslmilar circumstances and discernment? Perhaps it is because the Art and Science of Medicine, from the earliest times, have always challenged the best edort of the most highly endowed men of each generation. Society has decreed that it will be served in the Vital health fields only by its best human product. Repeated qualifying tmts of worthiness are the rule from youth to old age. Each succeeding qualifying round mevitablv eliminates a few of the original aspirants. The competition is continuous, but fam and at no stage may a contestant assume that he has arrived at any dednite goal And in the last analvsis, the personal discipline and the ultimate achievement must rest with the individual. It is a sports rule, since the earkv Creek games, that the Coach may not Inn the actual race for his protege nor may he act as time-keeper or judge in the Crucial Olympiadfs finals. While there is life and intelligence, the real physician is always the student increasing his knowledge and indulging that insatiable curiosity which must be part of his basic endowment Throughout lns student and apprenticeship years, and then as a mature physician, subject to constant judgements of his professional peers and patients, the man worthy of the high calling of Medicine must continue to search deeply his own soul and to seek without distraction or deviation, the ever-beckoning ideal of medical perfection which he -knows, even in the seeking, he shall never End. The search, itself, however, is more alluring and more satisfying to him, than accomplishment in any other field. Thus we hid most cordial welcome to Apollo and to his disciples, immediate and remote, to return to visit our Carnpus in ISSZ and to interweug and to seek, and to ind in the members of our class of SZ the same high ideals with which the ancient Creek world and its gods have continued to inspire us through the centuries- A few new measures to hehe Mother Nafure will be seen, but even more important, the same high devotion to 'iissist and HO! lllnflern the llenling pr00ess Will also be found In the hearts and niinds of t0dayfs physicians. Continue to endow this generation of physicians, Ol Apollo, with the same dedication and skill as was vouchsafed to Aesculapius and HipPoc1-ates and to all their spiritual descendants, even unto the end of Tune! Charles A. Doan, M.D. Dean
