dedication We are participating in a most memorable event in the history of this college. It is indeed a rare occasion when the Senior class of a school has the pleasure to graduate with its Dean. The name Columbia University College of Pharmacy shall be linked forever with that of Dr. Charles William Ballard, Dean, Professor of Phar- macology. Dr. Ballard, through his deep devotion to the high ideals of pharmacy, his inspiration and guidance to the college, its students and alumni, has emblazoned his name forever in the history of pharmacy. We cannot hope to review all his achievements for they are too numerous and we cannot measure the profound effect he has had upon the development of pharmaceutical education, but let it here be said that he has carved for himself and for the college a niche high on the wall of success and deep in the heart of pharmacy. Dr. Ballard takes with him not only our sincere best wishes but al so those of the generations of graduates who have passed through the por- tals of this college into all branches of pharmacy, of scientific and of busi- ness endeavor. It is therefore fitting to dedicate this yearbook to him as a token of our affection, admiration and appreciation. Dr. Leuallen is also in a sense graduating with us. He will not receive a diploma but he will don the robes of the office of Dean. He brings with him an outstanding record of achievements, plus youth, fire, new ideas and high hopes. We know that Dr. Leuallen will not only be an able administra- tor but that he will also be the architect of the destiny of the College of Pharmacy. We feel certain that under his guidance, the College shall rise to an even higher level of leadership and prestige in pharmacy and educa- tion, a position seldom achieved by any school, anywhere. Therefore, we, the graduating class of 1952, take great pleasure in dedicating this year- book to Dean C. W. Ballard and E. E. Leuallen.

dedicatees Decut @. 7( . Sattatd Within a short time it will be my duty to present the Class of I 952 for their degrees and to personally deliver the diplomas. On these occasions the question of what the future holds for them is always in my mind and possibly in theirs. Undoubtedly the majority will enter store practice, smaller numbers seek industrial employment and a few continue in grad- uate study. Obviously under present conditions some must defer planning until a period of military service has been completed. The degree is essen- tial in every phase of pharmacy but in many instances your ultimate satis- faction and success may be dependent on the possession or acquisition of other qualifications. Some ideas about these other qualifications may be gained from the inquiry forms now widely used by employers. The specific questions deal with cooperative ability, initiative, personal appearance, personality and other characteristics of the applicant. Both large and small employers consider such matters as equal with scholastic ability in importance. Our sources of information for such inquiries include the student ' s folder and the Yearbook issued by his class. The latter is especially useful in deter- mining cooperative ability and initiative as indicated by participation in extracurricular activities. Space limitations preclude more than this brief mention of these other qualifications but they are worth thinking about. Graduation confers privileges but it also imposes obligations which in the case of Pharmacy are two-fold — to Pharmacy as a profession and to the College which certified your fitness for practice. Integrity is the key- note of your obligations to Pharmacy and these are clearly outlined in the codes of ethics of the national and state associations. Loyalty summarizes your obligations to the College. Remain a part through Alumni member- ship, speak well of it and support it according to your means. Throughout my service with the College I have had the friendship of the student body and the active support of the Alumni. As this active service comes to an end, I sincerely hope that the Class of 1952 and those of succeeding years will give Dean Leuallen a like measure of friendship and support. May they be his co-workers in the plans for expanding the activities of the College and carrying it toward the objective which has been set.
