President To the Class of 1982: The quality of mercy is not strained At one time in the history of man, those familiar words penned by William Shakespeare constituted the essence of medical practice. For generations of humanity, about all that the healer could offer was primitive science and a heavy dose of the arts of compassion, caring, and mercy. In an about face, in the twentieth century, we find a different connotation to two of the words from the quotation. Quality is increasingly applied as a measure of the supposed value of a life; mercy frequently construed as demonstrated by permitting a life of less than quality level cease to exist. The paradox is clear. At one time, as the major tool of healing, the art of medicine took precedence over the science; today, the dominance of science causes us to reconsider the art. I pose this irony to you because it not only represents an issue of our times but, more importantly, is an issue which — accompanied by a host of other medical ethical concerns — is relatively new to the healing profession. Your class and those that follow will be called upon by your fellowmen to help define these concerns in the framework of reality. Yours will not be an easy task. Like any caring parent, the members of our faculty and administration have done our best to prepare you for a world in which we cannot supply you all the answers. We are unable to furnish these answers because we, too, do not yet know what they are. We have, though, made every effort to provide you with the foundation to enable you to deliberate and discern on behalf of your patient. The osteopathic philosophy based upon treatment of the whole person as an individual could not be more appropiate to our times. It is our belief that you will be able to meet the challenge you face of fusing the art and the science of medicine into quality osteopathic medical care. Congratulations upon your achievement. You have been our students, you have given us purpose, and we Will miss you. But know that, as we stand aside, it is with our love and faith in you and our prayers for your continued well being. May God bless each of you. tim vCwW-
