To winnow the wheat from the chaff and to pre- pare it in an easily digested shape for the tender stomachs of first and second year students taxes the resources of the most capable teacher Osler I would leave you with this statement by Eugene Stead: “Learning is an active process and each of us learns more when we teach than when we are taught.” Craig S.

Osler The hardest conviction to get into the mind of fe RAN. a beginner is that the education upon which CEYBRVZA) he is engaged is not a college course, not a OSS ss medical course, but a life course, for which omens the work of a few years under teachers is but a preparation.

Professor Tulp’s Anatomy Lesson, Rembrandt van Rijn, 1632 Anatomy brought life and liberty to the art of healing, and for these centuries the great names in medicine were those of the great anatomists.

Science goes forward only through n Ww ideas and through creative or original power of thought. In education, we must, therefore, take care that knowledge — which should arm the mind does not overwhelm it by its % weight, and that rules, intended to support weak parts of the mind, do not atrophy the strong and fertile parts. I need not enter into further explanations here; I have had to limit myself by forewarning biological science and experimental medicine against exaggerating the importance of erudition and against invasion and domination by systems; because sciences submitting to these would lose their.fertili would abandon the independence and freedom essential to the progress of humanity.” Seip “Experimentation must precede dog- ma Andreas Vesalius PATHOLOGY .. . the survivors of THE FIFTEEN are introduced .. . the same sort of informational overdose but amore relaxed crowd ... slides... gross sections. . the synopsis of Anderson is simply inadequate. . . the Framingham Study . . . an astounding increase in the number of vegetarians... aflatoxin. .. my god I ate two pieces of moldly bread last night . . . who is Hackett’s tailor? .. . kodachromes . . . microfiches . . . all skin lesions known to man in two hours...
