A new milestone

In July 1976, with a wing and prayer, a few books and journals and financial support from the Harris Foundation, the Department of Surgery Library opened it doors to faculty, residents and students.  Still going strong, thirty-five years later, the Department of Surgery Library would like to thank ALL of you for your support through the years.  Happy birthday and many more!!

New Year, New Chiefs

July 1 always marks the beginning of the academic year which means new responsibilties for the Chief Residents.  This year, we converted two Texans, Elizabeth and Andrew to the OU way of thinking.

Good wishes for the year ahead.

There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
