Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harvard Medical Alumni Bulletin, Vol. 17: June, 1943 The main function of the School is of course to do its share to meet the continuous demand of the country to supply adequately trained doc tors. Dr. Burwell felt happy to announce that the student body has remained up to standard in number and quality. These young men have had an arduous time: they have not only extra work and shortened vacations but they have had to meet a good deal of uncertainty. The wheels of the army-navy plan for them have at last started: about 90 per cent will soon be in the uniform of either the Army or the Navy. About August, 1942, the decision was reached bv the Man-power Commission that able-bodied men at or above the age of 18 should be in the armed forces, and that education should continue. Thence arose the present system or' Specialized Training Corps, in which the great majority of medical students will be. Strenuous efforts are being made to maintain the quality of the men entering the School, for on this one thing more than any other depends its future success.
