Tribute to - Dr. LeRoy Crandell 1924 - 1966 . . . This light and path of faithfulness, belief and honor in fulfilling goals he believed to be the best concepts of medical progress and medical humanities is a source of one of our major strengths. The idea of dedication, identified with many other scientists of the past, was personified in his every action within his own professional field. A monument and edifice is too small to communicate the personal ideas and concepts of this noble, gentle, and courageous man.

Oath of Hippocrates . I swear by Apollo Physician, by Asclepius, by Health, by Heal- all, and by all the gods and goddesses, making them witnesses, that I will carry out, according to my ability and judgment, this oath and this indenture: To regard my teacher in this art as equal to my parents, to make him partner in my livelihood, and when he is in need of money to share mine with him, to consider his offspring equal to my brothers, to teach them this art, if they require to learn it, without fee or indenture, and to impart precept, oral instruction, and all the other learning, to my sons, to the sons of my teacher, and to pupils who have signed the indenture and sworn obedience to the Physicians' Law, but to none other. I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but I will never use it to iniure or wrong them. I will not give poison to anyone though asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a plan. Similarly I will not give a pessary to a woman to cause abortion. But in purity and in holiness I will guard my life and my art. I will not use the knife on sufferers from stone, but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein. Into whatsoever houses I enter, I will do so to help the sick, keeping myself free from all intentional wrong-doing and harm, especially from fornication with woman or man, bond or free. Whatsoever in the course of practice I see or hear lor even out- side my practice in social intercoursel that ought never to be published abroad, I will not divulge, but will consider such things to be holy secrets. ' Now if I keep this oath and break it not, may I enioy honor, in my life and art, among all men for all time: but if I transgress and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me. '
