A new Hippocratic oath for all Americans who wish to heal the ills ” that so sorely trouble the world today” was proposed by former Justice Joseph M. Proskauer at a luncheon meeting of the Kiwanis Club in the Hotel McAlpin today which served as a forerunner for the local observance of Brotherhood Week. The oath follows:
“I will discriminate against no man by reason of his faith or creed. I will daily deal with every man in business and social and political relations only on the basis of his true individual worth. I will never try to indict a whole people by reason of the derelictions of a member. I will utter no rumor and no slander against any sect. In my conduct I will consecrate myself hour by hour and day by day to the achievement in fact of the highest ideal of the dignity of man, human equality, human fellowship and human brotherhood.”
