lllfllllllll 5CHUUl As an integral and distinctive portion of the University of Okla- homa, the Medical School offers to the people of our State and Nation the advantages of better medical service as afforded by mod- ern medical education. Each year, a new class of Doctors of Medi- cine emerges: men and women, diligently trained in their art and prepared to return unselfish service, in part, for the knowledge, trust and encouragement offered them by this, their school. The responsi- bility assumed by the University in maintaining a Medical School to train these men is indeed great, but despite the vastness of the re- sponsibility and the endlessness of the task, a finger of pride can be pointed to a job well done, for here are found the highest standards maintained for medical education coexistent with Well-laid plans for further advancement and achievement in the future. lt is not supposed that the time will ever come, when no human, being will die of any other cause than old age: the Wearing out of the human machine. But what is anticipated and sought by men of Medicine and Medical Education is a gradual removal and avoid- ance of the causes of disease, a diminution of human suffering, and a ber of premature and unnecessary deaths. There can be no object to aiming at abstract perfection, and to continuing efforts at ref mation until it is attained. It is toward this end that the Medica School of the University of Okla- homa is striving and shall conti e to strive until that ultimate pin- nacle of success has been reac d, and the fame of her halls of learning is spread far and wide.
