Before further effort, if any reader who participated in any way in the retirement luncheon for the writer failed to receive a personal letter of thanks, it was totally unintentional and can only be explained by the large numbers involved. Please be assured of my deep appreciation.
Present plans call for the admission with the 1970 fall entering class of 16 candidates for the M.D. degree, with about forty firstyear students. The curriculum has been arranged so that the doctoral candidates will be able to complete their degree requirements in three years..
