50 MEDICINE 



enables the physician at small cost to be in touch with all that is new 

 and progressive. 



Modern medicine requires of its students an education which shall 

 fit them to take part as research workers or as practitioners to apply 

 the measures afforded them to prevent or more quickly to modify 

 disease. The modern medical student, therefore, requires the broad 

 education of the university and a training of his special senses in 

 the study of the natural and of the fundamental medical sciences, 

 preliminary to the study of applied medicine and surgery. Happily 

 both the old and the new world afford institutions which satisfy 

 all requirements of modern medical education. Many medical insti- 

 tutions exist which cannot furnish the necessary educational advan- 

 tages. These institutions are doomed. They are relics of the past. 

 It is to be hoped that they will be no exception to the rule of the 

 survival of the fittest.
