Navy fRet.l, Commanding Navy V-l2 Unit, Hahnemann Medical College .jvleaclquar em To the Navy Members of the Graduating Class of Hahnemann Medical College. By dint of hard work, combined with native ability, you have become members of two of the most highly esteemed professions. You are Naval Medical Officers, both doctors and officers of the Navy. In addition to healing the sick, you will be responsible for many other things such as the discipline of your Navy Medical Unit, the cleanliness, upkeep, and supply of your sick bay, for Navy paper work, and last but not least for medical advice and care to units so small that they possess no Medical Officers of their own. I have seen a Navy Medical Officer called at 0200 on a stormy night at sea, with all lights out, to go in a small, wet, pitching whaleboat to minister to a sick man on a destroyer. You will love it. I congratulate you most heartily. 1401 W. I2

ROLAND SNADER, '21 To Our Newest Members: Hahnemann Alumni are pleased and proud to welcome to their ranks another war baby -the Class of l944. Claims to distinction by your class include the fact that in spite of the accelerated program and the nine-months' scholastic year-you retain undisputed claim to the title of the Class of l944. Another bid to fame lies also in your distinction as the first class to succumb to the influence of co-education. As with all the recent classes-a very large percentage of you will experience cr period of military service before entering civilian practice. Your Alumni Association is fully aware of its obligation to do all in its power to help you through this transition period-and to be of every other possible service to you. Wishing you the best of everything-now and in the future. Most sincerely yours, CARL C. FISCHER, Executive Secretary I I

I AS.: vfg Q. IL . - J ' -- I ,. .. . . . J A A m eI ff0l'll'le The 3315 Service Unit has now been in existence for a year. During this year you have passed through a period of transition from the status of a civilian to that of a soldier in one of the world's finest Armies. In this same year you have gained some insight into the Ways of the Army and its many duties, the least of which is essential to the winning of victory. It is hoped that the knowledge obtained during your training here will be of considerable value to you, the members of the graduating class, as a back- ground for further training and future military duties. On behalf of the Staff, I Wish you success in your endeavors to alleviate the sufferings of humanity. IAMES C. WARE at Captain, Sig C Commandant I3
