“The service we render to others is really the rent we pay for our room on this earth. It is obvious that man is himself a traveler; that the purpose of this world is not ‘to have and to hold’ but ‘to give and serve.’ There can be no other meaning.” Explore the life of Sir Wilfred Grenfell!
The Birth Of A New Sport
Though not quite in the form it is now played today, basketball is the only major sport custom-designed by a physician!
The Thrombolites Of Flower’s Cove
