Harlan I. Firminger, M.D., Professor of Pathology and 1 lead of Department. Dedication Department of Pathology The realm of the medical student is one of books and learning, fact and theory, memory and thought, judgement and decision. His success is a matter of maturation and acquisi- tion. His goal is a gratified patient. The road is a difficult passage. His toil is endless, the hours longer. A point is achieved, however, when the work become pleasurable; when the crave for learning surpasses all hurdles; when the a ssimilation of knowledge super- cedes all other distracting motivations. The responsible force for such a transition rests within as an intangible emotion, namely de- sire. It is this force that catalyzes learning — it lightens the task. It has a fellow called “in- spiration.” These two entities are inherent within all of us. They are often dormant, searching for ignition. It was during the Sophomore Year that this fuse was realized. Resting within the minds and actions of the members of the Department of Pathology, lay this stimulus. For these men are professors of the Oslerian tradition. Their prime dedica- tion is to the budding young minds of the field of medicine. They subconsciously manifest the professional warmth ot the professor-stu- dent relationship as they strive to inculcate the teachings of Pathology. Spanning the spec- trum from research to clinical application, the} enlightened us in regards to the study of dis- ease. We were treated as colleagues, for which we respected them. Their e.xaminations were a challenge, not just an exercise. And not to be forgotten, they are all gentlemen. Each, in his own manner, has served as an excellent matrix in the formulation of the young phys- ician’s mind and character. To you. Dr. Firm- inger, sir, and your staff members ot the De- partment of Pathology, the Class ot 1966 hum- bly wish to thank you. We shall always be grateful. 5
