4 Assistant ean HAROLD A. TAGGART, M.D. The Class of 1954 entered Hahnemann at about the same time that the Assistant Dean was initiated into his duties in the administrative office of the Medical School. Thus, to a large extent, both entered upon their training and indoctrination during the same fourfyear period. One of the first student problems to confront the cleaning tyro was an amusing incident which turned out, as do so many of these affairs, to be no problem at all. An almost emergency request was made one afternoon to visit the biofchem. lab, to End out the critical nature of one of your classmates, who was reported as certainly a sick man because of his color which was described as cyanotic. Quickly climbing the two flights of stairs, with the usual 'resulting breathlessness, the assistant dean made a quick inspection of the young man at a safe distance in order not to alarm him. Then a short conversation followed and all parties were greatly relieved to discover that the cyanosis was due to some overfzealous instillation of silver solution nose drops when the student was but a child. It is questionable, however, whether our relief was shared by the young student in thus being singled out for atten- tion bythe dean's office and faculty so early in his academic career. Now, four years later, your class will probably agree that the student attitude of remaining anonymous in his relations with members of the faculty and administration has, to a large extent, disappeared. While the assistant dean cannot lay claim to the ability of greeting you all by your first names, that is largely due to his own deiciencies of memory and not the faults of the students' attempt to avoid meetings when necessary. To those whom he is able so to greet, the relationship has been a mature and stimu' lating experience for him. The Class of 1954 has not been a class with many problems, Certainly problems of academic deficiencies have been relatively few as attested by the number who are about to graduate, which number will be the largest of any class who have graduated from Hahnemann during the past four years. Problems of discipline have been vir- tually nonfexistentg and those involving financial needs, we hope have been satisfactorily ameliorated for the time being, if not entirely eliminated. Indeed, the Class of 1954 will leave the Medical School with feelings on the part of the faculty and admin- istration of a happy and fruitful relationship and a satis' factory accomplishment. Our hope will be that each of you, as a future Alumnus of Hahnemann, will look back upon your experiences within these walls with a similar attitude and feeling. HAROLD A. TAGGART, M.D. Assistant Dean

l l Registrar JOSEPH CHAN DLER, Ph.D. To the Class of 1954: I welcome this opportunity to wish all of you success and happiness as you finish your course here and go on to internship, residency and the practice of Medicine. My associations with you have been most pleasant. Your sympathy in April, 1951 mean: more to me than I can express in words. It has been a pleasure to help some of you in your difhculties with draft boards and the armed services. As a member of the Admissions Committee which chose you, I have watched your progress with great interest and pleasure. In june, you will graduate as the largest class since the number of the entering class was reduced to 105 and you will have justified the higher standards of scholarship applied by the Committee in choosing your class. XVe all hope that you will meet with a like success in your medical careers. In part, my own career is similar to yours. Although I came here some 24 years licfore you, my service as Registrar began in September, 1950, when you entered. And, like you, I shall leave Hahneniann in 1954. Goodfbye to you, to the other three classes and to my associates and friends at Hahnemann. JosEPH CHANDLER Sincerely, january 29, 1954 20
