I hope your years at Temple have been good to you, and that we have encouraged you to continue the lifelong pursuit of knowledge. A half century from now — in the year 2044 — when you look back on your life, these years at Temple will have rep- resented a relatively small portion of time. When you attain that benchmark, we trust that you will still regard your Temple experience as a memorable one for having helped prepare you for a ful- filling and productive life. The student body of 2044 will un- doubtedly look different than your class of 1994, but those newer Acres of Di- amonds will certainly be a lot like you, with keen intellects, resourcefulnesss, ambition, and the willingness to work hard. As you graduate from Temple in 1 994, you can take a large measure of pride in knowing that your degree is the result of your hard work and dedication. It is a symbol of your individual achievement. The best advice I can give you now is to try to maintain a sense of humor and, above all to be honest with yourself. On behalf of our faculty, staff, Board of Trustees, and some 190,000 proud Temple alumnae and alumni throug ' the world, I wish you all the best. Peter j. Liacouras President H ■ ■ ma ■ I t r

Administration Passings Dr. Rocco Rocky Carzo, Jr. was a Temple professor of man- agement and founder of the school ' s doctoral program in management. In September of 1993, he died at the age of 63. Rocky was well-liked by his students and was one of the best-known members of the faculty, maybe because he spent countless hours in the computer lab working with stu- dents. Even while ill with can- cer, Dr. Carzo taught summer school and graded his last set of finals during his hospital stay. He was truly an unsung hero in the classroom and in his of- fice, working year in and year out with students, and a real in- spiration and role model to a generation of business faculty at Temple, said his colleague and close friend, Dr. Paul J. An- drisani. In his quiet and gentle way, he has been a constant re- minder of what we are here for our students. Dr. Carzo was chairman of the management program for seven years. He received the Distin- guished Faculty Award in 1989, and awards from the Ford Foun- dation and the Golden Key Na- tional Honor Society, of which he was the Temple University chapter founding advisor. - William Roach On October 27, 1 993, the world ' s leading researcher on the physiological basis of mental illness died at age 73. This professor of psychiatry, Dr. Charles Shagass joined the Temple faculty in 1966 when he founded Temple ' s Electro- physiological Laboratory. Dr. Shagass ' major accomplishments include investigations of brain dysfunction in psychiatric disorders, a pioneer in using physiological and pharmacological approaches to psychiatric research as early as the 1940s. His development of the drug amobarbital in a test for psychiatric diagnosis in 1951 was one of the first biological tests to distinguish between different types of mental illness. - Jean-Marie Martino Dr. J. Robert Troyer, a retired Temple University School of Medicine pro- fessor died early in the fall of 1993 at Hahnemann University Hospital after a seven-year battle with leu- kemia. Dr. Troyer was 65 years old. Dr. Troyer taught at Temple for 39 years, and retired as chairman of the department of anatomy and cell biology. He had been honored in many areas, first in 1985 as John Franklin Huber Professor of Anatomy. In 1989, Dr Troyer was given the Great Teacher Award, an honor earned by stu- dent nominations and car- ries a $10,000 stipend. He was the only faculty mem- ber in the history of the medical school to have as many as three yearbooks dedicated to him by the graduating class, as well as receiving 21 teaching awards and honors. - William Roach 47
