MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN If Although completing their studies under a less stringent program than that effective for the entering Class of this year, the Class of 1958 does not represent an inferior type of pharmacy graduate. It must not be regarded that an abrupt educational change is a limiting factor which works to their disadvantage. There can be no sharp line of demarcation between an old and a new regime in the course of a business or profession and it is well that this is so. The gradual merging of the old with the new gives time for experimentation out of which should come a retention of the advantages of both. It also affords those in the business or profession an opportunity for adjustment to changed conditions. H 7 believe that the class of 1958 will participate in benefits accruing from the new order and the effects on the practice of pharmacy ultimately resulting therefrom. It is said that one of the objectives is the placing of pharmacy on a firmer professional basis, especially in the estimation of the public. Educational advances will be but partially successful in this attainment unless they are supplemented by the activities and attitude of those now in pharmacy. 11 The opportunity of favorably molding public opinion in regard to pharmacy has been open to each succeeding class. May the class of 1958 be an active force in this direction for in this manner they will insure the welfare of the profession they have chosen and reflect credit upon the College.
