The Senior Portrait Dr. George Willauer, speaking at the Portrait Presentation Ceremonies, elof quently echoed the sentiments of the Class of 1965 when he said, 'Ljohn B. Montgomf ery, whom we honor this day is a man who frequently exhorts his students, neighbors, and friends to renew the Spirit. Renewal is part of his daily life, and because of this philosophy he has brought light, hope, health and encouragement to countless numbers of students, patients and friends. A lifeflong Jeifersonian, Dr. Montgomf ery was graduated from Juniata College in 1921 and is a member of Jeffersorfs Class of 1926. That same year he married the former Elizabeth Haines, and their son Bruce is now senior resident in obstetrics and gynecology at Jefferson. In 1952 Dr. Montgomery was appointed Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and became Cofchairman of the department in 1955. In 1961, on the retirement of Thad' deus L. Montgomery, he became sole Chair' man of the Department. Mrs. Amilu Martin, chairman of the Portrait Committee, unveiled the portrait by Mr. Alden Wicks, a noted artist who has now painted three jefferson portraits. Dr. Montgomery summed up his brief speech of thanks by accepting the portrait as a tribute to the clinical aspects of medi' eine and to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology which has been devoted to serving the patient. This, it seems to me, is the essense of medical practice. Indeed, this is the essence of Dr. John B. Montgomery. His is an outstanding example of what the doctorfpatient relaf tionship can be, and one well worth our constant emulation.
