Che first Cilorcl To say the first word is like getting in the Hrst blow, any woman can say the last word. But for this book, what shall the first word be? Not one of apology for newness or inexperience, nor for crowding into a line of Annuals already established that print the same important information yearly, garnished with carefully selected cuts that please the Freshmen and the best girls, but a word of urgent appeal for a hearing. in order that you may have a better knowledge of Yale's Medical Department, by recognizing it as a living thing. Its life is evinced by a symmetrical and steady growth in spite of rigorous surgical procedures that have amputated large portions of the Freshman Class each year as unsound Yale tissue, which is popularly supposed to consist largely of bone and muscle, but which in this depart- ment must show a preponderance of brain. The purpose of this book is to give information as to the Yale Medical School, its graduates, and those who hope to be so classified by future his- torians. VVe are getting to be so numerous that we do not know each other and we must have better means of getting acquainted. This department has had a most honored career in the medical work of the world, but old Mother Yale has always treated this child as the faithful son, and when any banquet has been prepared it has been for some younger prodigal. This son has remained at home working faithfully and quietly until people have almost forgotten this offspring born in 1813. Now, however, the Class of IQO4 has undertaken the task of bringing us together and introducing the Past to the Present, and rejuvenating it by this transfusion of new blood and new ideas. Speaking for the graduates, I bid this volume a hearty welcome. Speaking for the book, I merely say. let it speak for itself. jixv VV Smvizn.
