To state that the last four years have provided us with a variety of challenges whether academic, social, physi- cal or emotional would be an assertion with which we all could agree. Whether we wish to accept it or not, the University of Maryland has left its imprint on us and we in turn have left our imprint on the University, as minis- cule as it may have been. The medical school drama has blended a diverse group of personalities who would have otherwise not met. Hopefully the outcome will be for the best. It is to the graduates of the medical school (who also happen to be the subject of this annual) that we dedicate this volume. But what ' s more this yearbook is dedicated to the earlier graduates of the University past; the first graduating class of 1812 and their immedi- ate descendents who built the young medical school. And to the successive classes who added to the Univer- sity and preserved its traditions. And to the later gradu- ates who became our respected and dedicated profes- sors who passed on to us their knowledge of the art of medicine. And to the more immediate graduates who served as our residents and interns and spared precious moments of their time to shed light on the more per- plexing aspects of the art. And to the most recent grad- uates who immediately preceded us and struggled at our side during rounds on the wards. To all of these people we give thanks. It is in their memory that we shall choose to excel in order that their effort shall not have gone in vain. The Class of 1812 Corbin Amos Henry Curtis Thomas D. Jones John O ' Conner Charles L.
