At this time it is fitting that special recognition should be shown to
one who has long been a devoted friend to St. Joseph's. I refer to
Dr. Fred W. Rankin. Intensive training and research, plus naturally
skillful fingers have fitted Doctor Rankin for the work in which he has
‘ shone with a brilliance far surpassing many others. The benefit of they
a A skill and profound knowledge of this great surgeon and great man has g Q
been for many years the heritage of nu erous residents and internes.
Doctor Rankin has blazed the trail for many residency approvals, the
development of extensive training programs, and increased resident
staffs at St. Joseph's, all of which has entailed hours and hours or time
and work. These programs have been kept up to standard because Doctor
Rankin and his associates would not let them fall short of the norm.
