A note from the president:

Welcome to the Alumni Association’s website. It is a pleasure to provide this service to you in the form of an up-to-date 21st century technology. I hope this site will allow you to communicate with your Alumni Association more effectively and conveniently.  We are working to update the site each week, so be sure to visit often for information about important events, new alumni and student services, and updates about your Alumni Association, alma mater, and classmates. Be sure to visit us in our office, too. Let us know what you think.  We look forward to your suggestions!

The endowment plan: 

The board of directors has voted to launch a campaign to endow the Association. Why? "To do more with less." What does this mean? It means we can do MORE for our alumni, our medical students, and our School of Medicine with LESS (fewer) appeals for annual membership and reduce dues by 50%.

We invite you to participate in our efforts to make this $5 million Alumni Association Endowment possible by becoming a Perpetual Member. New Perpetual Memberships and donations--cash, stock, trusts, etc.--will complete the endowment. A goal has been set to obtain 2,400 Perpetual Members.

As of March 17, 2010, Perpetual Members currently number 1,651, with 1,375 Silver members; 218 Gold; 35 Platinum; 19 Diamond; 2 Double Diamond; 1 Triple Diamond and 1 Five Stars Diamond. Together, these memberships make up 95% of the $3.6 million in hand toward the $5 million goal.

Together, we will "do more with less."

Quotable Quotes

 

A Doctor’s Prayer

Teach me, dear Lord, that the hypertrophy of the head is more deadly than the hypertrophy of the heart, that the hyper-acidity of unforgiveness is more distressing than the “heart burn” of an ulcer.

Help me to live so that I can lie down and sleep each night, with a clear conscience, without a bromide or barbiturate, and unhaunted by the faces of those I have charged fees.

Grant, I beseech Thee, the power to focus my eyes on the distant goal of Heaven; eyes undimmed by the blurring myopia of fame or fortune. Keep my ears alert to the call of duty, undeafened by the clinking of polluted dollars.

Guide my mind and hand as I administer healing potions to suffering patients; help me to remember that the hypodermic needles should be tempered with the therapy of sympathy; the tonics enhanced by the stimulant of kindness; the transfusions aided by the nourishment of tenderness.

And then, when the last patient has been comforted, when the stethoscope, journals, and books have been laid aside, may my last call by Thy call, as I rest in the peace which Thou only can send. Amen.

—Wilfred Snodgrass ’38
