In our class alone there are jazz musicians, instrumentalists, cartoonists, poets, artists, and songwriters. Athletes from almost every sport also abound — runners, swimmers, cyclists, skiers, divers, hikers, canoeists, windsurfers, and (of course) Ultimate Frisbee fanatics. We have gourmet cooks who have introduced some of us to Brazilian codfish pie, Cuban black beans, Indonesian rice dishes, Spanish flans, Swedish herring, grilled salmon from the Northwest, enchiladas. New England chowders, as well as boiled crawfish and blackened redfish, not to mention a cake decorator who made many a birthday special. There is even amongst us a relative of the inventor of the Homan ' s Sign. Through our discussions of politics, social issues, music, and art, we have helped each other to open our minds, or to confirm within us previously established opinions. The spectrum of thoughts, ideas, and creativity among our class is often surprisingly broad — perhaps broader than we are willing to admit. ..or put up with. This diversity has exposed us to new concepts and experiences, enriched our lives, piqued our interests, and helped us to accept and enjoy the differences in others. It is something that makes Tulane unique from many other medical schools. We will continue to enrich the hves of each other in the years to come as we continue and renew friendships formed while acquiring our medical educations. 21 Our Home States —.

To Learn the Art of Medicine... The real practice of Medicine — the art of Medicine — involves a great deal more than the simple act of prescribing medic- ation or performing a surgical procedure. Rather, it requires a soothing touch, a sincere interest in and dedication to a patient ' s recovery and future health, just the right number of compassionate and caring words, and the ability to realize when one can help, and when one cannot. Over the past four years we, as students of
