SHEDDING SOME LIGHT ON FATHER—The daughters of Dr. Josiah C. Trent unveiled
a bust of their father at a ceremony held on Saturday afternoon in the History of
Medicine Reading Room in the Medical Center Library. The bust, a gift of university
trustee Mary Semans, honors Dr. Trent who died in 1948 and was both a skilled
thoracic surgeon and an avid collector of rare volumes from the history of medicine.
At the ceremony, which served as a rededication of the Trent Room, Mrs. Semans
presented an edition of Cicero on Old Age printed by Benjamin Franklin in 1744 to
the Trent Collection, and Mrs. Ida W. Shuman of New York added a gift manu^npt
of Walter Miles, a medical student at the turn of the century. The bronze bust,
sculpted by Antonio Salemme of Pennsylvania, was unveiled by Mary T. Jones, Sarah
T. Harris, Rebecca T. Kirkland and Barbara Trent. (Photo by David Williamson)

GREAT MISTAKES OF MAN
Man’s imperfections lead him to
many mistakes in life, and the
pointing out of the frailties has
engaged the attention of
philosophers and reformers in all
ages. These are the seven greatest
mistakes of man;
1. The delusion that individual
advancement is made by crushing
others down.
2. I'he tendency to worry about
things that cannot be changed or
corrected.
3. Insisting that a thing is
impossible because we ourselves
cannot accomplish it.
4. Refusing to set aside trivial
preferences in order that important
things may be accomplished.
5. Neglecting development and
refinement of the mind by not
acquiring the habit of reading.
6. Attempting to compel other
persons to believe and live as we do.
7. The failure to establish the habit
of saving money.
