*Excerpts: "You do solemnly swear . . . That you will be loyal to the Profession of Medicine and just and generous to its members; That you will lead your lives and practice your art in uprightness and honor; That into what ever house you shall enter, it shall be for the good of the sick to the utmost of your power, you holding yourselves far aloof from wrong, from corruption, from the tempting of others to vice; That you will exercise your art solely for the cure of your patients, and will give no drug, perform no operation for a criminal purpose, even if solicited; far less suggest it: That whatsoever you shall see or hear of the lives of men which is not fitting to be spoken, you will keep inviolably sacred."
†Last week wise old President Livingston Farrand of Cornell University, himself a doctor, told graduates of Cornell University Medical College not to let the medical dome constrict them. Said he: ''The medical profession (and the legal profession) have that tendency to think that whatever was is right and that change and development are wrong."
