Recollections
The editorial board is proud to present Volume 90, Number 1 of the
Bulletin magazine, the oldest medical alumni association publication
in the United States. In addition to serving as the medical school’s
primary communications link with alumni since 1916, it serves as a
bridge connecting us to our past. This section of the magazine features
snippets of past issues, offering a look at our medical school 25,
50 & 75 years ago.
