Author Description

Excerpt from The Medic, 1958: The Journal of the Hahnemann Medical College As the person charged with the responsibility for your formal prepara tion for your life's work - the practice of medicine - it gives me very great pleasure to be able to greet you as Doctor. With my congratulations go my heartfelt wishes for a full measure of productive and satisfying years. The Class of 1958 has enjoyed or endured, as you will, no less than three Deans - a fact which confers a kind of distinction on you, although one of small usefulness. The other two, Dr. Brown and Dr. Taggart, join me in welcoming you to the ranks of the noblest profession. You have learned much, but if, as I believe, you have acquired wisdom also, you stand at the threshold of your career humble in the realization that the greatest learning experience of all is now about to begin. I earnestly hope that you will remain scholars always - acknowledging that in spite of the accomplishments of medical science in the past hundred years, we can hold and examine and understand only a handful of the vast fields around us. If, in my role as your Dean, I may confer a benediction on you, it is this: may the Spirit of enquiry be with you all the days of your life.
