Everything seems clearer when it, is viewed through the retrospectroscopef' INTRODUCTION The Retrospectroscope- Through which all seems clearerv. Felix Marti Ibanez in his essay, To be a Doctorv, notes that Man is the only. creature able to make tools with which he can make other toolsv. And so to the ophthalmoscope and the stethoscope we introduce the Retro- spectroscope-for it records not what is, but what has been. This thought fxwhat has beenvj was the measuring rod of the ,66 Retrospec- troscope staff in preparing Volume III. This is a record, a history of 4 years . . . sweet and bitter, long and short, busy, fun-filled, work-ladened, and responsibility prone-but memorable. The purpose of this volume is not to cajole, nor to taunt, nor to placate, nor to insult. It is to record the years as we have lived them, learning a new lan- guag-e, thinking a new discipline, assuming a life-long role. The 1966 Retrospectroscope intentionally followed a format of 4 years of history. It will introduce t.he Class of ,66, record from whence they came, and relate their story of the Basic Science Years, the Clinical Years and the fun-filled years of parties, activities and families. It recalls the names, faces, and events that affected us. It acknowledges the classes who work with us, and those who will pass through in our footsteps. But most of all, the 1966 Retrospectroscope has a personal story to tell . . . of men and wom-en who came to Gainesville in the fall of 1962 as laymen and .graduated in June 1966 as physicians. A remarkable metamorphosis-one that in years to come will truly seem clearer when viewed through this Retrospectroscopev. N. TERRY DITCHEK EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
