Franklin D. Murphy, M.D. Dean 0 f the School 0 f M edicine IN these days when 44man,s inhu- manity to manii seems less con- trollable than ever before, it is somewhat difficult to write of the future with much optimism. How- ever, history would seem to tell us that man is a fairly indestructible creature and it is from a full realization of the les- sons which a knowledge of history teaches that we find strength and courage to face the future. Many of you graduating seniors saw service in what has been called World War II, and you had every reasonable right to assume that you had seen the last of the horror and disloca- tion of war, at least in your generation. And yet these same ones of you face the prospect of additional military service. It is difficult to explain to anyone,s satisfaction Why leadership here and abroad has not been able to make it possible for us all to live out our lives in a peaceful pattern of progress with our families and our profession. And yet we must constantly remind ourselves that all of the privileges to which this American Democracy entitles us carry with them respon- sibilities. Men and women fought and sacrificed so that we might enjoy the fruits of freedom. Many of these sacrifices in their way were more terrible than most which you and I will be asked to make. The system of state-supported education which provided for each one of you a medical education at far less than its actual cost represents one of the privileges of the American system. It would then appear that when our freedoms and opportunities are threatened, we have the obligation to rise up in their defense. In some respects no genera- tion of Americans will be measured as firmly and as realistically against the sacrifice of our forefathers as ours. We must, then, try to understand the annoyances and interferences with our hopes and plans, not in terms of discrimination, but rather in terms of the oppor- tunity and responsibility of proving that we are indeed worthy of our forebears.
