THIS BOOK, AND THE LIVES OF THE MANY PERSONS REPRESENTED HEREIN, ARE DEDICATED TO THE SPIRIT OF MEDI- CINE SO GRACEFULLY DESCRIBED IN THE OATH OF HIPPOCRATES.

The close of this four year period of study will signal the division of a closely knit class into separate careers of medical practice, in many cases so far away that future reunion will be improbable, if not impossible. Memories of malodorous cadavers, known quite intimately to be sure; memories of mercilous exams; mem- ories of those pseudo-formal dances and frankly informal beer parties; memories of professors whose lives are dedicated to the teaching of medi- cine; these would perhaps fade as time all too hastily consumes us, if it were not for a text of this sort to bring back the life we knew as as- pirants to the degree Doctor of Medi- cine. Assuming literary license, we hav treated with flippancy personalities, specialties, and ideals. Let it be un- derstood without question that our de- votion and respect for our confreres, teachers, and profession is beyond re- proach. ■k il h si ' iJ
