Medical School

PLEASE NOTE - Because of difficulty in obtaining proper accommodations, the date of the meeting of the Nathan Smith Medical Society has been changed from May 20 to May 27. That might prove to be a definite advantage to those who take a Memorial Day break. Details of the program will be in the mail before March 15. If you do not receive yours, please contact us.

As expected, the Faculty carried off all the honors in that annual Faculty-Student Slalom. Incidentally, the ski bunnies are all smiles these days as they look at plenty of snow.

One more honor was added to the impressive list compiled by Bob Blood M'13 when he acquired the 1966 Ware Award for outstanding contribution to New Hampshire agriculture by the New Hampshire Farm Bureau Federation. Reflecting upon his World War I decoration, two terms as Governor, legislative leadership in several sessions, and more than 50 years in the active practice of medicine, one might conclude that this Enfield, N. H., farm boy had used his first 79 years reasonably successfully! May he have many more useful years!
