Page 2 Supt’i Cotnet ^ # 111 our last issue we had something to say about liow the retirement of Mrs. Burke llobgood dejirives us of a louf? continuing sujiport upon which we have grown to depend so greatly. It was a pleasure to say “well done” to Mrs. Ilobgood, but not pleasant at all to have the time come to say it. Now we have the same mixed feel ings in regard to recognition which has come to Drs. Ruth and Sam Mar tin and to Minetree Pyne. As has happened so many times, other in stitutions have sought out able people here and recruited them for the de velopment of health services else where. We take great pride in this fulfillment of one of our principal functions, but the actual process is always painful. All of us are grateful for the con tributions made by Ruth and Sam and Minetree to our programs here— and very considerable ones they are. We wish for them every success in their new positions—something which is easy to do because of the confidence we have in them—and we look for ward to their return just as fre- (juently as possible. The calling of Dr. Sam Martin, one of our Markle Scholars, to a major position in another medical school is an additional reminder of the amaz ing number and (juality of Markle Scholars appointed at Duke. To date we have had nine. No other uni versity has approached this number in a nationwide Markle Program de signed to produce outstanding medi cal school faculty members. It is dif ficult to conceive of a higher honor which nught accrue to any medical school. Many of you will remember Charles II. Frenzel who finished our Admin istrative training ])rogram in 1951. We have been successful in getting Charlie back to fill the vacancy created by ilinetree’s leaving and feel that we are very fortunate in being able to do so. We know that you will join us in welcoming Charlie and his family back to the fold.
