TO TH£ MEDICAL CLASS OF 1979 Congratulations on your accomplishments over the last four years. From my initial acquaintance with you during Ncurobiology to the last senior elective, you have, as all good classes, been stimulating, exciting and have taught me a great deal. Of the three activities that result in patient care — that of today, clinical medicine; that of tomorrow, teaching; and that of the future, research — the most exciting for a clinician nwst be teaching, as this combines care of the patient today and care of the patient tomorrow. Your education has Just begun and as you use knowledge and are continuing to be taught by your patients, hopefully you too will have the opportunity of having these experiences made more enjoyable and exciting by teaching future students either in a formal setting, or informally in your practices. It may be possible that sono future group of students might approach, but none in my opinion will over exceed that of the Medical Class of 1979.

GOLDEN APPLE AWARD R. Joe Noble, M.D. Congratulations to each of you, you have worked exceptionally diligently, suffering some hardships in the process; but recall your medical school days with happiness and a sense of satisfaction. Your achievement -(the medical degree)- is an exceptional accomplishment, an accomplishment that evokes certain privileges - such as the immediate respect of your fellow citizens. However, this is also an achievement that necessitates certain responsibilities: obligations to your community, to your medical associates, and to your family. Most of all, you have an extraordinary, even frightening responsibilty to your patients, who entrust their well-being and sometimes even their lives to you. Accept their trust only with the high ideals you share today. Do not be hardened to this responsibility in years to come. Never take the trust and responsibility for granted. So long as you care, you'll remain a good physician. Thank you, sincerely, for the joys of working with you in the lecture hall, and on the wards; I am honored by your Teaching Award. With greatest respect, R. Joe Noble, M.D. 30
