The fool, the knave, and the charlatan pro- fess to know even to all knowledge. It is the wise man who says " I do not know. ' ' It was neither humility nor hypocrisy that led Lin- coln to refrain from^ many claims to knowl- edge he did not possess, but in this as in all things he had an honesty of purpose in life that rose high above the petty, miserable, ly- ing subterfuges of the dishonest, and we, as disciples of the Esculapian art can well af- ford to train our minds and attune our souls t...o a true appreciation of this part of his char- acter, in the moulding of our own and in our dealings with our fellowmen. The young practitioner contending with "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" may "take up arms against (his) sea of troubles" in dis- gruntled fashion, but he had far better study the life of this plain man of the people and extract from the rich placer of his life, the glistening nuggets of his wonderful example. Let a man take a position, right or wrong, that is opposed to the concensus of opinion of those associated with or about him, in pri- vate, business, political or professional life and one of two things will happen ; retirement to the shades of the unknown and the unheard of.
