I I ganna! of wateea Saatho M644-dye fum 146 p 1 I - The students' activities as pictured in this annual is an effort on the part of the student body of the Southwestern Medical College to record interesting features occurring throughout the college year. The foregoing is the responsibility of the representatives of the classes. No doubt in requesting me to say a word they have in mind not only the things which they see but the future plans which the Board of Trustees of the Foundation have in mind for the Greater Medical Center. The Trustees have thought that during this war period when priorities are difficult to arrange that the first and most important thing was to improve the Fac- ulty wherever needed and to support the new dean of the Faculty in any program which he and the faculty members after careful consideration would present to the Board. The Trustees early decided to admit a limited number of highly trained stu- dents to the college of medicine and to supply the necessary funds to support an institution which would rank with the best. While it is the desire of the Board as early as possible to create more per- manent buildings for housing the medical college, they recognize that it is men and not mortar and brick who really make an institution. If the men and women who come to the medical college of ours take ad- vantage of their opportunities for acquiring knowledge which will be offered them, the basic reason for the Medical Center will be recognized. lt was once said of an outstanding medical school, Herein there is simple living but high thinking. ln this development here if there is high thinking throughout the institution both in the student body and the many men constituting the faculty, undoubt- edly those of us who have been interested in creating for the future as well as the present this institution will have accomplished the purposes motivating its conception. The Trustees of this Foundation believe that medicine belongs to all of the people and should be supported by all the people. Through medicine and medi- cal research, the revelation of the mysteries of life, and the causes of disease which affect life can be identified. The result will be helpful to humanity wher- ever human beings reside. E. H. CARY UPPER LEFT treading clockwise-l: Dr. E. H.
