'Many Secrets'
"Nature has many secrets still to be mined. It is our responsibility to encourage the development of young minds, capable and motivated in these matters, and give them the tools and the time to burrow ever farther into the unknown."
The university medical center, Dr. Murphy said, is responsible for keeping the physician in the field informed of new techniques.
recognition on the part of American medical institutions of their responsibilities in continuing medical education. More and more of our young physicians realize that what was once the 4-year medical educational program has now become the 40-year educational experience."
"One of the most satisfying develments in American medicine in the past few years is the increasing
"It (the medical center) must produce its fair share of broad, deep minds. It must encourage the intelligent dreamer as much as the clever technician. It must wish to know"—and above all else it must be tolerant of the unconventional."

Looking to the future, Dr. Murphy predicted that the resolution of the cancer problem may bring about an "undersanding of the growth process itself — the tremendously exciting prospect of comprehending the origin of life itself, at least from a physical point of view."
"It is possible that too great an insistence upon crossing the 't's' and dotting the 'i's' may, in the name of scientific discipline, mitigate against dealing with ideas, the stuff of which great break-throughs are made?" he asked.
Dr. Murphy came to the defense of students who like to speculate.
"A thoughtful reading of the history of medicine should convince anyone that most of our progress has come by way of what was at the time regarded as heresy. In our field there are few end points in medical knowledge.'

JULIE ANDREWS says:
"Verily, a Professor Iggins among magazines!"
.
Julie Andrews, twenty-one-year-old British girl, plays Eliza Doolittle in the sensational Broadway success "My Fair Lady" — a musical adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion."
Q. Miss Andrews, had you ever been away from your family before you arrived in this country two years ago?
A. Never, and I still become dreadfully homesick. But I do talk with them several times a week.
Q. By phone?
A. No—by phonograph. We talk into recording machines, and airmail the records. They are so clear I can even hear my brothers arguing in the background about whose turn is next. It is as if we were all in one room.
Q. You never exchange the usual kind of letter?
A Very seldom, I'm afraid. But we post back and forth bits of particular interest—like newspaper reviews, and favorite articles from The Reader's Digest.
Q. Just the Digest?
A. Oh, no, there are others sometimes—but the Digest is our magazine. Mummy and Daddy have always read it, and I began when I was twelve, playing music halls. I had to miss school, and my teaching governess went through every issue with me on the run. It was part of my lessons.
Q. Do you still read it on the run?
A. Oh, yes—waiting for assignments, waiting for buses, even waiting for curtain cues. I hope I never have to be without it. When I wish to be amused, the Digest amuses me; and when I need to be scolded or instructed, I can always find an article that talks to me like—
Q. Like a Dutch uncle?
A. No, much more delightfully—more like Professor' Iggins in "My Fair Lady" showing a new world to Eliza Doolittle.
