In Dedication To Dr. August A. DiSomma Professor of Organic Chemistry Teachers are more than machines. They ' re men — human beings dedicated to the sometimes onerous task of educating youth and instilling in them a sense of logic and mature reasoning on which their futures will be built. But occasionally you meet a man who possesses the attributes that are a mark of greatness. For not only is he a creditable lecturer and noted scientist but he is likewise a warm personality. Doctor August A. Di Somma is such a man. His sincere interest in the students entrusted to him, his perpetual desire to clarify at any hour the complexities of his subject, and the office door that is al- ways open in his chemistry laboratory bear this out. The Professor requests only the hon- esty and integrity of his students in return. The close and harmonious relationship that Professor DiSomma engendered in the Class of ' 50 and the adroitness with which he cemented upon its mind the mechanisms of organic chemistry, will forever live in the hearts of this class. And in fifty years from now — in the year two thousand — when the field of pharmacy has once again become a profession of the highest esteem, we ' ll pause to reflect on this wonderful gentleman to whom we owe so much.
