To our colleagues who are graduating, Congratulations and best wishes ! Those of us who remain will try to maintain an academic home of which you can be proud. This is also a time of change, not only in the stages of our careers but in our priorities and life-style. We have entered a period which will further test our strength, our resiliency and our ability to adapt. Successful adaptation to a changing way of life, to increasing social complexities and profound economic disruptions will be accomplished only by the most fit. We can do our part to be instruments of constructive change but we will be most sorely tested to live constructively with adversities we did not directly cause nor expect. I.n short, we must be part of the solution not part of the problem. Our Medical Center has grown and improved over recent years notwithstanding changing perceptions of our societal role, new mandates from society and increased difficulties in gathering resources which are necessary. As I write this, we are further in the midst of selection of new leadership occasioned by the resignation of President Lewis W. Bluemle, Jr. We must continue to grow, to improve and accommodate to change in circumstances which promise to be even more difficult. To do otherwise will be to quit and this would be irresponsible. Our students will continue to get a good education and we aim to make it even better. Our patients will continue to get superior care and we will make it even better. Our research will explore new areas of science and of society. Instead of helpless wailing over our problems, we will work to solve them. I am proud of this Center, its students, faculty and staff. I know we can do what we must. Sincerely, Richard P. Schmidt, M.D.
