The on-rushing flood of future possibilities brings with it a spirit of adventure: a need for bold. imaginative thinking, a willingness to gamble on provocative new concepts; the courage to break away from the entrenched viewpoint and the aggressiveness to bring them into reality. Wendell G. Scon V Both the man of science and the man of art live always at the edge ol mystery, surrounded by it: both always, as the measure of their creation, have had to do with the harmonization of what is new and what is familiar, with the balance between novelty and synthesis, with the struggle to make partial order in total chaos. J. Robert Oppenheimer It is a rare blending of learning and humanity, incisiveness ol intellect, and sensitiveness of the spirit which occasionally come together in an individual who chooses the calling ol Medicine; and then we have the great physician. Hans Zinsser The whole point of a university, on its educational side, is to bring the young under the intellectual influence of a band of imaginative scholars. Alfred North Whitehead Scientific problems are never disposed of by a single worker, however ideal his opportunity, however great his ability, for the questions to be put to nature vary from one generation to another. Joseph Erlanger Come, let us work, and in this little time do some new thing that no one on this earth has ever thought to do. Split from the world's eternal truth some atom of the everlasting! Then let us die. and leave for coming generations one hit of knowledge hy which we'll be remembered until some later one shall show the truth we found was but a grain gleaned from some vast store we'd hardly touched and we shall be forgot and he remembered but we, out where the absolute is near, shall smile seeing how little a beach of sand resembles the granite cliff from which it weathered. Sam XI. Clark, Sr. Medicine is a jealous god expecting to receive from its votaries all of their talent and energy. It lavishes no rewards upon those who are not fully consecrated to its service.

PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES The Study The efforts of the School of Medicine are directed toward pro- viding able students with a stimulating and challenging milieu in which of Medicine 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 dis- crimination 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. Modern medical education can no longer hope to be comprehensive: it must be selective. Yet students must develop facility in the understanding and use of several related technical languages: those of anatomy, chemistry, physiology, and clinical medicine. They must share responsibility for the care of the patient. They must also learn how these areas of endeavor are interrelated, how the organiza- tion and needs of society influence the methods of providing medical care, and how new knowledge is acquired and old knowledge reevaluated. The curriculum includes a core experience based upon a sequence of courses that will introduce the student to the broad panorama of medicine. The principles, the methods of investigation, the problems, and the opportunities in each of the major disciplines of medical science and medical practice are presented in such a way as to help the student select the career best suited to his abilities and goals. The elective program helps the student to decide where his major interests lie. It also enables him to benefit from the wide range of specialized knowledge and skills found in the faculty. As there is not enough time for each student to be introduced to each of today's areas of specialization, the elective program permits him to select, according to his own desires, the areas he wishes to explore or to study in depth.
