Dr. C.C. Schofield has been working in Pickering for almost twenty-five years. During this time as the school physician, he has enjoyed being part of the faculty, but the medical challenges are most satisfying to him. He thinks that working in a male society is different and more challenging than average clincial practice. He does not think that there is any need to change present campus medical facilities unless female students are added so that the whole school has to be reconsidered.
