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. V. L.
