MEDICAL CRISIS

by

Physicians wants something in which they can believe and it must be something beyond the test tube, beyond the demonstration of mathematics or beyond speculations on philosophy. They must work to develop the kind of character which will result, first, in the ability to understand what it is they wish to build from life in themselves and for their patients; and second, which will inspire in others the desire to press on to higher attainments.

It follows that those who teach constitute the most important problem. In selecting instructors we must require more than technical competence. We must insist upon character founded upon basic principles. Then more and more medical students will look to the dignity of their calling, and less and less to the opportunity for medicine as a career in which they can earn. Rather, the goal will be how much they can learn how best to live.

DERBY, CONN.
