Critics of A.M.A., including many members, charge that this ponderous machinery keeps A.M.A. from reflecting the varied and open-minded attitudes of doctors themselves and gives rise to the common complaint that "we are respected as individuals but looked down on as a group."

Every five years, in a sort of gallup poll, the men of Yale '36 sort themselves to find out how they are doing. The latest answer: very well...

One reason why programs can survive in the face of very strong opposition was indicated during debate on Freshman Seminars. Only five of those covered in the poll mentioned above felt that the Seminars offered a satisfactory response to the problems of Freshman year, but the program was renewed almost unanimously last Spring. One member of the Faculty summed up the situation by saying that while he had no use for the Seminars, he was not going to stand...
