Practically every trade in the
world has a fringe of wander
ing, restless souls who hold a
job for a few weeks or months
or perhaps two or three years,
and then make tracks over the
horizon to greener pastures.
Such people used to be called
boomers" though the word is
not heard so much as former
ly. The word boomer orig
mated on the West Coast many
years ago during the gold rush
period when every new gold
or silver discovery would bring
a town into being overnight.
These were the original boom
towns, and the pattern contin-
ued during the latter discov-
cry of oil fields and during the
construction activities of World
Wars | and II.
The original boomers were
the adventurous, Woodworking,
hard-living and hard-playing
men who used to follow the
gold rushes wherever they led.
Wherever the boom town was,
there were the boomers. Most
of them travelled light, gener-
ally considering above a skill
let and a razor to be excess
baggage. And a good many of
them discarded the razor. When
one of them occasionally struck
it rich, coming upon a little
pocket of gold worth a couple
or a couple of hundred thous-
and, he was apt to live riotous-
" for as long as the money
lasted. And this was usually
never very long. The gambling
tables, the bar-rooms and the
dance-hall birls, as we'll as
business agents and land
sharks, were usually able to
clean the average "sourdough"
miner in a few months time.
Those original boomers of
the gold-rush days are long
gone from the American scene.
The frontier days are gone also.
But that outlook on life which
thousands on thousands of adj
venturous Americans shared in
the old days has left a certain
element of wandering and rest
lessness in the modern genera
ton. And the word boomer"
with some accuracy is still used
to describe this type of person,
though it no longer necessarily
means an itinerant: a wander
ing workman, a lineman, a
neWspaperman, a school teach
er, a Observation-Disclosures he
happens to be. There are BOOM
ers even among staid profess
sions like medicine and law.
Booming" today means mere
~ keeping on the move, regard
less of whether a fellow CRAWL
tateS to boom towns. AS a mat
ter of fact, booming was more
prevalent during the depression
when there wasn't a boom town
to be found in the country than
it was during the boom times
of the 1920's.
Boomers are especially nu-
merous among the fellows who
have learned a useful trade
in which thereis almost always
some work to be had. The typ
ical boomer is a fellow who
has spent some five or ten years
learning to be a very good or
even an expert workman when
he manages to stay put for a
while, and to stav sober. But

which a man can carry under

function. There was considerable
opposition on other grounds. It
was pointed out that there were
fully established Medical Faculties
with equipment and experience of
generations, and it was wiser to
avail ourselves of them rather
than to build one ourselves. More
urgent problems faced us at the
time.
In the meantime, the University
has established fully functioning
departments in the fundamental
sciences Of Biology, Chemistry and
Physics. It is true that the equip
ment of these departments is not
as extensive as we would like,
but this will be remedied at the
earliest opportunity. These de-
partments have now very ex-

search. Very early in the his
tory of the University it was rea-
lied that work in many aspects
of micro-biology must be under
taken in order to tackle urgent
problems of human and animal
welfare. These found ample op-
portunity for routine work, re-
search and teaching.
Side by SIDE with these develop
ments, the medical institutions in
the country progressed according
to the needs of growing popu-
lation. Hadassah was particular
ly active in this field. The medi-
cal sciences and the biological
ones met, as they inevitably must
meet. For their mutual benefit,
Hadassah and the University
reached an agreement by which
both institutions pool their scien-
tific and material resources. This
agreement made the planning of
Medical Faculty possible. The
University could Immediately avail
itself of well-equipped and we'll

The need for a Medical Faculty

is essential in order to complete

essential in order to satisfy the

faced with the fact that our young
