APPRECIATION James L. Parkin, M.D., Chair, Centennial Committee 100 I refl Recently I went on a tour of the new Spencer F. & Cleone P. Eccles Health Sciences Education Building. Wayne Peay, the director of the Spencer S. Eccles Library and the coordinator of much of the planning of the new education building, was our guide. He told us about all the input received from students and how that input was incorporated into the building. I noticed the student lounges were much larger than the faculty lounges. What an impressive building. I wondered if the students can learn in such modern, comfortable surroundings. Isn’t suffering a stimulus to retention? ected back to “the good old days” in the barracks studying comparative anatomy and the beginning of my medical education in the second fl oor of the medical building on President’s Circle just east of the then University library (currently known as the Utah Museum of Natural History). Later in our sophomore year and junior year, our base of education shifted to the plush quarters in the old county hospital on the corner of 21st South and State Street. I think the only important Anatomy class of 1966. part of that building complex memory remaining is the “Busy Bee,” still across the street. Wayne’s presentation made me wonder if the students who preceded me gave their input into the educational facilities I enjoyed. The facilities in “the good old days” did not meet the standards of this new building, but we did have outstanding faculty who built this school into a top-tier medical school. The current faculty will propel it into the next century of its existence. When those in the future meet for the bicentennial celebration, they will remember their “good old days,” but it seems they will be hard pressed to remember archaic facilities. Many gave much to help us become competent physicians. Some gave more than others. Early in our freshmen year, Gary Larson, Mike Stevens, Dennis Russell (my lab partners) and I met Cyrus. That was the nick-name we gave him because we did not know his given name. Cyrus did not demonstrate any of the ambidextrous skills exhibited by one of our favorite professors, Dr. E. I. Hashimoto, but Cyrus did give. He never was disrespectful to us. He never raised his voice. He trusted us with his innermost secrets. He contributed and 9 gave much. Thanks, Cyrus. You were a great cadaver. Fortunately, the rest of my early education benefactors continued to give to me and other students in my class and in the classes that followed mine. Some were more demanding than others. The synaptic connections tend to amplify some experiences, but hopefully they do not diminish the sense of gratitude for facilities and teachers and mentors who gave us the opportunity to be players and contributors in the greatest of all professions. Thank you to Professors Hashimoto, Samuels, Dougherty, Eisenman, Gebhardt, Goodman, Wintrobe, Tyler, Renzetti, Castle, Kuida, Chiga, Cartwright, Richards, and many others too numerous to name. The centennial year and celebration give us the blessing of refl ection and resultant gratitude to the many who have made our pathway through life more adventurous and fulfi lling. Hopefully, it will increase our resolve to also be numbered among the legions who give back and help provide opportunity for current and future generations of youth to share in and contribute to the art and science of healing.
