Dean of the College TO THE SENIORS Perhaps no poet however great, has ever expressed the nostalgia of the gradu- ating student any better than the words of the Whiffenpoof Song: We will pass and be forgotten with the rest. Sung in proper harmony these lines always produce a catch in the throat and at least a brief yearning for Alma Mater wherever She may be. For you, the class of 1959, I hope that you will think with affection of the four years you have spent at the Woman ' s Medical College. They have not been easy years, I know. They have brought hard work, problems, difficulties. For some of you they have meant sacrifice not only from yourselves but from your families — which is even harder to accept. You stand now at the realization of your ambition, the attainment of your degree in medicine. But of course this is only the beginning. The years of promise stretch before you — joy in intellectual achievement, in the mental exercise of solv- ing problems in laboratory, clinic or office; joy in the well-being of your patients; joy in service. Please be sure that you won ' t be forgotten with the rest. We will remem- ber you, will rejoice in your success and will want to know what you are doing. Let us know about your internship, your residency, your practice. We want the medical students of the future to learn about the successes and triumphs of the members of the Class of 1959, so that they can follow in your footsteps — so that they like you: will be remembered with the rest.
