It may seem useless to remind you that, in order to give the best that is in you, you must keep abreast with what is new and best in professional literature and scientific progress. You all have determined to be students, and even those who pride themselves on having passed through the University without having opened a book have a half-formed desire to really know something beyond spotting a possible examination question, and when once examinations are over, and they have reluctantly withdrawn themselves from the delights of the city by gaslight for the pine woods and mountain trail, they will burn the midnight oil and browse diligently through their musty tomes. May I tell you that nothing is harder than to find time for study. Many of us, even though city men, with the best and latest literature at our elbows, are ashamed to think how thoroughly we abhor the sight of a medical book or magazine, and how easily we can persuade ourselves that we are too tired and stale, and so engrossed during the day with scenes of sickness and suffering that we must have our brief hours of release from duty for recreation. We do need our hours of relaxation and rest and our too infrequent holidays, and they are absolutely essential to good health and good work. Don't, however, confuse the words rest and relaxation with sloth and idleness, and don't think your professional work completed when your round of daily visits is done. Indeed, if you would know medicine you must woo your mistress in the small hours of the night, and in many of the leisure moments that the day may bring you.
