Published quarterly by and for the Faculty and Alumni of the Medical College of Georgia. Supported by the Alumni Association and the Medical College. TRIBUTE

The last few years have brought many changes to the Medical College of Georgia. The entering class now numbers 100 students; the ETMH has been established under the direction of the College ; a new administration building has been erected; the Dugas and Murphey build- ings have been greatly enlarged and thoroughly remodel- ed, and the number of faculty members has grown by leaps and bounds. These have been happy changes, but the same years have brought many of the leaders of this expansion to the age of retirement. This is retirement not from activity on behalf of the college but from of- ficial position only. When we say farewell to Dr. Pund, as President, we do not say farewell to our friend and mentor. Though we will miss his able administrative hand, we can but be happy that he will be freed from many onerous tasks and will have more time to enjoy the pleasurable rewards of an eminent career. Yet another elder statesman, Dr. Richard Torpin, Professor and Chairman of Obstetrics and Gynecology, retires this June. Does this mean that the 'possum and the placenta will de- part? Never, from our hearts and minds. Dr. Torpin's teaching ability, professional skill and inventive ingenuity have provided memorable inspiration for his students and colleagues alike.

We wish our esteemed friends many happy and active years.

(21) THE PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH FUND

The Professional Research Fund has provided support for some 27 different projects in the past year. Since many people have inquired as to how the fund has been utilized, we are including in this issue a list of these projects, the sum granted, and the recipient. The grants cover such items as equipment, supplies, technical help, travel to meet- ings and overhead. While available to all members of the faculty, the fund is of particular benefit to the younger group who have not yet be- come widely known.

A wide variety of valuable and interesting projects has been sup- ported. We hope, in a future issue, to either summarize or provide references to the results of these investigations.
