THE DEAN Gerald H. Holman With a deep sense of regret the EVMS community learned this spring of the resignation of Dr. Holman from his position of Dean. Dr. Holman will continue at EVMS on the full-time faculty of the Chil- dren's Hospital of the King's Daughters. During Dr. Holman's tenure, EVMS graduated its charter class of 24 students, became a fully accredited medical institution, and steadily increased its enrollment to the current class size of 96 students. Under his leadership EVMS grew and matured while retaining much of its itnew school en- thusiasm and its small school intimacy. Dr. Holman brought to EVMS a strong commitment to humanism as well as excellence in medical education and a firm belief in the community medical school concept. Dr. Holman was an extremely popular Dean who enjoyed strong support from the student body as well as the Basic Science and Clinical faculties. We join the entire EVMS community in thanking him for his outstanding four and one-haif years as Dean and look forward to his continuation at EVMS on the Pediatric faculty. 20
