• "The essential function of the mind is dealing with the future...such as in the profession of medicine"
• Out of thousands of years of past mistakes & trials... the Tree of Knowledge has risen
• Compassion over cure: The vast material has become so complicated that the medical student of today must be an "invincible athlete" to compass it...concerned for students wandering in maze of technical and mechanistic systems without compassion, insight
• "students should not be so overwhelmed by mechanics and half truths that they lose power over close clinical observation & the power of giving every possible relief to those in their care"
• Goals: center on prevention, education
