One of the serious problems which confronts the management of every library is the proper and equable apportioning of the book fund to the several departments. The problem is, of necessity, a flexible one and varies with the environment, the resources and the policy of the individual library. To-day I propose to discuss only one phase of the question, and that a narrow one. Is it expedient to establish a medical department in a free library?

Do pay it. Don't forget. Still, I feel like I must be missing some sot of meaning, whether intentional or "found" after the fact, that Im' just not getting here. I studied philosophy at one of the country's top schools. What am I so blind to be missing here? I'm pretty sure that there was nothing meant on a deeper level by his dying words.

This paper suggests that Socrates was executed for questioning the imperialistic actions of Athens in the Peloponnesian War by elevating the emerging cult of Asklepios and advocating for Asklepian ideals. He looks to the only god then known to revive the dead to help his ideas and spirit live on. Socrates calls us from the past to remember timeless Asklepian physician duties to self, patients, and community. Socrates reminds modern physicians of their personal duty to make their own spiritual health their first priority, their professional duty to comfort the sick and alleviate suffering, and their societal duty to advocate for the vulnerable, sick, and suffering and the health of the public.

This is because his trial coincided with a sacred ritual where an embassy was sent to the island of Delos. In order to maintain purity among Athenians, no executions were to be carried out during the ritual. Therefore, Socrates had to wait a month until his death.
