This occurred JUSt tWO weeks after the departure of the representative of the Rockefeller Founda tion, who had spent tWO years in o rganizing it. The Library has, in the pmt, contributed duplicate material to numerous other medical libr.. ries in foreign countries. A considerable amount went to the Philippine I slands to repl.. ce libraries looted and destroyed by the J apanese armies. Material has also gone to E n gland, Cuba, France, I taly, Canada, Ala ska, and several South American countries.

USE YOUR LIBRARY Page 10 The B ulletin , I PRE ID P).\ G I As YOll wi ll observe from the membership roster pub lished in the last issue of The Bu lletin, there has been a constant influx of new doctors to T ulsa in rhe last several years. I am pleased ro observe several things about these newcomers, most of whom are beginning private pracrice for the first time. One is that they are intelligenr and well qualified, ma ny with a splendid background of res ident training and postgraduate medical study, yet eager and will ing to learn from the praCtical experience of others. Most have a fresh oudook on the problems which face the medical profession today, yet they seek no radical departure from the principles and ethics upon which the profession has been bui lt. T hey are eager and w illi ng to work in behalf of organized medicine as evidenced by theif participation in the T ulsa Cou nty Medica l Soc iety and its affairs.
I feel that Tulsa is fortunate in recei ving these young men and women inro the ranks of its medical profession. It is these same doctors who wi ll be the leaders of the pro fess ion tomorrow and who will be responsible for the ma intenance of high standards of medicine in Tulsa COUnty. I would like to suggest thar each member of the Soc iety make a special effort to become acquainted with our new comers, to assist them as you can, and to advise them when your cOllnsel is sought or respected. Your interest will help to ease the difficult ies of early practice and wi ll promote the greatest harmony and unification among the Tulsa profession.
