Bsa ji Qg I I I In these years of change and turnover at Maryland, one is impressed with the daily occurrence of things so crucial in shaping the future course of events at our school. In the past few years many new faces have appeared in our midst, and many familiar old faces are bowing out after long and successful terms guiding the destinies of our School of Medicine. To this latter group we append these names: Dr. H. Boyd Wylie, our Dean, who has advised and guided us with his calm good sense through our four student years: Dr. Eduard Uhlenhuth, who introduced us to the rigors of medical school life in the Gross Anatomy Laboratory: Dr. Charles Reid Edwards, who. as acting head of the Department of Surgery, has instituted a fine teaching program for student and resident alike; Dr. Louis H. Douglass, famed chief of Ob- stetrics, whose teachings are indelibly written in the annals of his field; Dr. J. Mason Hundley Jr., who has taught us well the ways of Gynecology; and two men who officially retired last year but whom we, happily, still see fre- quently about our school; Dr. Frank Hachtel. a fine gentleman who worked long and hard as Head of the Department of Bacteriology; and Dr. Harry M. Robinson, Senior, beloved Chief of Dermatology, who gave his students many well-remembered and colorful days in the Skin Clinic. These men are stepping down from active positions in the school, but their influence and impact will forever be embossed upon our placard of achievement. Rising up to continue the fine work begun by these men is a whole host of young, vital, active men who will carry the future of our fine and beloved school on their shoulders. May they look to the past for inspiration and to the coming years for continuing progress. Dedication Having tlius put forth this statement of acknowledgment, may we. then, dedicate this book, Terrae Mariae Medicus 1955, to those men having retired, and to further dedicate it to those men who will continue on guiding our school. We thank them, one and all. for their leadership and guidance, and firmly state this thesis . . . Our gratitude, Gentlemen, for a difficult job well done.

Oath of Hippocrates I swear by Apollo the physician, by Aesculapius, Hygeia, and Panacea and I take to witness all the gods and goddesses to keep according to my ability and my judgment the follow- ing oath: To consider dear to me as my parents him who taught me this art: to live in common with him and if necessary to share my goods with him; to look upon his children as my own broth- ers, to teach them this art if they so desire without fee or written promise; to impart to my sons and the sons of the master who taught me and the disciples who have enrolled themselves and have agreed to the rules of the profession, but to these alone, the precepts and the instruction. I will prescribe regimen for the good of my patients accord- ing to my ability and m y judgment and never do harm to any- one. To please no one will I prescribe a deadly drug nor give advice which may cause his death. Nor will I give a woman a pessary to procure abortion. But I will preserve the purity oi my life and my art. I will not cut for stone, even for the patient in whom the dis- ease is manifest; I will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners (specialist in this art). In every house where I enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill doing and all seduction, and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves. All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession, or outside my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not be be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal. If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or vibkite it, may the reverse be my lot.
