Second-class postage paid at St. Louis, Mo. To gather knowledge and to find out new knowledge is the noblest occupation of the physician. To apply that knowledge... with sympathy born of understanding, to the relief of human suffering, is his loveliest occupation. Edward Archibald (1872-1945) A medical center is one of the weighing of the moral and ethical few places —perhaps the only questions that inevitably arise place —where one can see the concerning its use; and its entire exciting process of the discriminating application for the mind of man working at its best benefit of a particular human from start to finish... the birth being. of an idea; the establishment of Walsh McDermott its validity; the placing it in a (1909- ) usable concept; the teaching of it Journal of Chronic Diseases to others; the testing it for 16:108, 1963 practical utility; the careful 9 Most of the knowledge and much of the genius of the research worker lie behind his selection of what is worth observing. It is a crucial choice, often determining the success or failure of months of work, often differentiating the brilliant discoverer from the... plodder.

University policies and programs are nondiscriminatory. The School of Medicine is committed to recruiting, enrolling, and educating an increased number of students from racial minority and educationally deprived groups. Masculine pronouns are used in this book for succinctness only; they are intended to refer to both females and males. The efforts of the School of Medicine are directed toward pro- viding able students with a stimulating and challenging milieu in which they may acquire a thorough background in scientific medicine, as well as a deep understanding of the meaning of comprehensive medical care. In a field that is developing as rapidly as is medicine, education begun in medical school must serve as the foundation for a lifelong course of learning. As Sir William Osier pointed out some decades ago, a faculty, no matter how talented, can "only instill principles, put the student in the right path, give him methods, teach him how to study, and early to discern between essentials and nonessentials." Today's student is preparing to cope with a changing world; to contribute, in a constructive, considered way, to resolving problems of medicine and of health care. To assist in that preparation, the faculty's mission is to preserve the joy of learning and to foster a spirit of discrimination and creativity. It is hoped that each student will achieve this grounding during his years in the School of Medicine. CURRICULUM The curriculum is the product of prolonged and continuing study, by both faculty and students, of the present and probable future course of medical science and medical practice, and of the ways in which medical education can be kept abreast of this course. It is planned to provide students, who enter medical school with diverse backgrounds and interests and who will undertake a wide variety of careers, with the basic knowledge and skills essential for their further professional development.
