Dr. lzitchls Message to the Class ol '35 lt is gratifying to view in retrospect the uniformly fine product leaving the Pennsylvania State College of Optometry each summerf You, the members of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-Five, uphold the ideals and aspirations the College strives to inculcate in its graduates. You have been unusually fortunate, being the first class to complete the course in the new location and improved surroundings of the College as it stands today. You have further had wide scope of opportunity in having perfected your optometrical technique in the most complete eye clinic in existence, the only one in which is covered the whole gamut of eye work in its special applications, such as the diagnosis and treatment of sub-normal vision cases. With the complete remodeling of the old Clinic, which was effected during your interneship, the acquiring of the most modern and complete equipment and apparatus for all phases of treatment of the human eye, together with the earnest application to study evinced by your Class, you should, and l believe you do, enter your professional field with a better back- ground and more chance for complete success than any who have preceded you. 'This clinical development demonstrates in a practical manner the great advancement which has come in recent years in all phases of our professional work, and in its scientific background. Ours is a profession which presents many facets of character, each of which has been clearer cut and better polished with the passing of the years, because of the zealous efforts of those who devote their wholehearted efforts toward its advancement. One note strikes clearly in your class individuality,-a highly satisfac- tory one-your complete accord with the ideals of ethical practice, and all that it evokes. 4 With natural reluctance l regard your departure, but with faith and deep sincerity say- Cod speed you.
