Zke Dean’s Message To the Diamond Jubilee Class of 1956, I wish to extend the congratulations of the Faculty and the Board of Trustees. The degree of Bachelor of .Science in Pharmacy or in Medical Technology represents an achievement which is the result of four years of strenuous effort both physically and scholastically. Additional difficulties have corne to many of you in the form of economic problems, family or personal crises, illness or other individual problems. Your diploma signifies that you have met all these challenges successfully. It means a great deal more to you than the fact that you have attained a required number of points and a specified passing average. Your graduation this year will be an especially joyful occasion for it will be a part of the 75th anniversary celebration of your college. Seventy-five years of mere existence is little reason for joyous acclaim, but when that time has been devoted to continuous progress in the service of not only the profession of pharmacy but of all of the people of this state, the culmination of that period is an occasion when a just recognition should be accorded and plans for continued growth and service be inaugurated. To you, the class of 1956, who arc about to join the ranks of our alumni, may I point out that your graduation makes indissoluble and absolute the partnership you formed with your college when you registered as a student:. Wherever you go, whatever you do, the years that you have spent here will be a part of your permanent record and will influence to a great degree the conduct and the thinking of your entire life. Any honor that comes to the college will be reflected upon you as an alumnus and any honor that comes to you will be reflected on your college. Any dishonorable act by either will likewise be unfavorably reflected on the other. Your loyalty to your Alma Mater is just as necessary as her loyalty to you. Each needs the support of the other, i am confident that in the years to come both will fulfill their obligations and duties gladly and willingly. 7
