title: A 56-year-old medical calendar from McGill opens a fascinating window on medicine's past.
abstract: McGill University's Faculty of Medicine has a long history of excellence. An examination of one of its more mundane documents, the student calendar from 1939-40, provides an instructive look at the roots of this excellence and indicates how much things have changed and how much remains unchanged after more than half a century.
