Not so many years ago, you were sitting where we now sit. Now you stand before us as our pro- fessor and friend. Even though a few of us were older than you, this had no effect on the relation- ship between professor and student. You treated us in a manner which showed your recall of what it is like to be a student. You were always available to act as a counselor and to help solve problems as they arose. And, who else gave such interesting examination questions? We all now realize why students away on a class trip should not play foot- ball in the hotel hall and keep the faculty member and his wife awake! We also appreciate the differ- ence between the Green Sheet and the Pink Salmon Daily! You have taught your subject well and in a stimulating manner and, above all, have helped shape the future of many students in our class. As a means of saying thank you for being what you are and what you have been to the Class of 1966, let this yearbook be dedicated to you, Dr. Milo Gibaldi.

Grayson Kirk President of Columbia University To the Class of 1966: To those of you who are about to enter into ac- tive participation in the health professions, I should like to express congratulation on the completion of your formal professional training and best wishes for success in your careers. More than this, how- ever, I should like to remind you of the manifold opportunities now awaiting you and the responsi- bilities inherent in present-day pharmacy practice and research. New discoveries are being made with bewildering rapidity, thus making necessary con- stant study in your field. Your obligation to the pub- lic increases as your store of knowledge grows, and as you execute successfully the public trust placed in you, the medical profession comes to rely in- creasingly upon you. So the circle is never-ending. This is therefore only the beginning of your intellec- tual development, and if you can combine your search for knowledge with the highest possible pro- fessional standards and a sense of public service, you should have truly rewarding careers in an an- cient and honorable profession. The art of healing should be far less advanced today were it not for the contributions over the centuries of those who have dedicated long and arduous years in quests for precise combinations of substances to ease man- kind ' s ills. You who are about to leave the College of Phar- macy will, I am confident, carry on admirably the fine traditions of your profession and your accom- plishments will provide satisfaction and reward for those who have helped guide you into active pro- fessional life. Your own compensations will, I hope, be equally gratifying, and for this I send to each of you every good wish. U A
