TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1968 I offer my heartfelt congratulations and warm good wishes to each of you as you comp- lete your long and disciplined passage through the gate which is straight and the way which is narrow. It seems appropriate to compliment you fur- ther on your good judgment in electing to be bprn when you were, and in selecting medi- cine as your life work, because your happy timing together with your choice of career permit you to enter the main stream of hu- man affairs at a time which promises altoget- her unprecedented opportunities and chal- lenges. This main stream is unique today by virtue of its quickening motion. Never before have appeared such striking departures from tradition, in almost every aspect of the human experience - in social values, in theology, in the arts, in the physical sciences, and, of course, in medicine. The mood of the times is change, but we need to recognize that is is the pace of change which is the watchword. In consequence of this ferment of new values, new concepts and new methods, you are de- stined to be healers in a more literal sense of the word than doctors have ever been. The satisfactions in your achievements stand to be correspondingly greater than any doctors before you have enjoyed. At the same time, this season of seething will make demands CHARLES S. CAMERON, M.D. President Collegef University of Pennsylvania Medical School: Hahnemann Medical College Intern- ship: Philadelphia General Hospital Resi- dency: Phila. Gen. Hosp. tSurgeryJ Rocke- feller Fellow in cancer surgery at New York's Memorial Hospital p on you which are without parallel. Among them, two appear foremost. First, the rapidly accumulating corpus of knowledge of medical science will call on you to apply yourselves to continuing study only a little less concent- rated than these four years have been. And second, the far reaching implicatios of increas- ing government participation in the provision of medical care will require of you new dimen- sions of sensitiveness and responsiveness to substantial modifications of the social scheme, which again are unexampled. I look forward to your role as physicians in these exhilorating years ahead, confident that what you have learned and experienced here, has prepared you well to use the full measure of opportunity soon to be yours, and to ac- cept the new order of responsibility that goes with it. p My warm personal regards go with this ex- pression of my fervent hope that to each of you will be granted long years of service to those many who will need you, and of my equally earnest wish for the satisfactions to the spirit in the measure you deserve. Sincerely yours, Charles S. Cameron, M.D. President

WILLIAM F. KELLOW, M.D. Dean 1961-1967 College: University of Notre Dame Medical School: Georgetown School of Medicine In- ternship: District of Columbia General Hos- pital Residency: Dist. of Col. Gen. Hosp. CMedicineJ Presently Dean and Vice Presi- dent at Jefferson Medical College ' TO THE 1968 GRADUATING CLASS I especially appreciate having an inviation to greet the graduating class this year because it is my parting year and I cannot look for- ward to specific meetings with you as alumni in the future. I offer my warmest congratula- tions to you and extend my best wishes for many satisfying years in the practice of medi- cine. Let me take this occasion to urge you to remain loyal to your medical college. Dur- ing the years you and I spent at Hahnemann we witnessed a phenominal development of the institution. There was a remarkable growth of the faculty, a substantial redevelop- ment of the curriculum, considerable progress in establishing a firmer financial basis for operation, an evolvement of an exciting plan to rebuild the entire physical facilities, and the development of a spirit of interest in the future of the institution on the part of the community as well as the Hahne mann family. When you graduate from Hahnemann you will be more a member of that family than ever before, and if you want your college to continue to prosper as it has been doing, your interest in its affairs must continue. Plan to be an active alumnus. Give something each year to the annual alumni drive, and give substantially to capital development projects when they occur. But do more than give money. Talk up your school. Promote its inter- ests among other alumni, among influential people in your community and among legisla- tors. Herein lie the real resources for future development. A greater Hahnemann will reflect on you for you will always carry her image. The Class of 1968 has been a part ofthe new Hahnemann and the full potential of this development will be achieved only if you and those who follow you are proud to have been here during these important years and wish to continue to be a part of this redevelopment. May you be blessed with much good fortune. and I hope our paths will cross again. Sincerely yours. ami? William F. Kellow, BLD. Dean 1961 -1967
