The advanc es which medicine has made of late years are great : but perhaps the greatest of all these advances, greater than any discovery of specific methods of treatment, though these have been most important, greater than antiseptics and antitoxin and the other additions to our therapeutic resources, though these have been numerous and most beneficial ; greater than the devising of operative procedures which thirty years ago were hardly dreamed of, but which have already added many thousands of years to the general sum of human life; greater than any of these by the all-hail hereafter, because having the promise and potency of results exceed- ing any that have yet been achieved, is the elevation of the standard of education in all depart- ments of instruction which has been efl ected of late vears, and which is continuallv being raised higher and higher. On the wall of the corridor leading to the Anatomical Theatre, of the School of Medicine, a student of the University of Maryland drew more than sixty years ago, with rough delineation, it is true, but yet with some real ap]:)reciation of the spirit and power of the original, a copy of Raphael ' s great picture of the fight between the archangel and his foe. It was, perhaps, with a true instinct, and in recognition of the facts that anatomy is at the foundation of all the medi- cal sciences, and that the final purpose of all these and all sciences, whether physical or mental, is that they be used in behalf of good against evil, that the student of long ago placed the picture where, though worn and faded and almost vanished away, it may still be faintly seen. For many years this picture has been associated in the minds of successive generations of students with this their own University, and it may rightly be regarded as a symbol and type of their work. For professional work, whatever its ki nd, is always a conflict, and should be a conflict waged in behalf of good. The scenes of that conflict may appear to be only in the hushed air of chambers of sickness, or in the wards and amphitheatres of hospitals and other places where suffering and pain and wounds are found, but if the veil were withdrawn, these might be seen as portions and parcels of that vast arena upon which is waged with unceasing warfare the ever enduring contest between good and evil. 19
