FREDERIC H. BARTH D.Sc, LL.D. President of Board of Directors and College To the Members of the Class of 1959: It gives me great pleasure to greet the members of this Class and to extend to each of you every good wish for a happy and successful career. How happy and how suc- cessful will depend on how well each of you exercise that all important attribute of a physician — judgment. My earnest hope is that the education you have been given will stand you in good stead as you make those daily judgments, the sum of which will be your life. Your happiness and success — and Philadelphia College of Osteopathy ' s happi- ness and success through you — will depend on how well you live your life in service to others. You are entering a great calling, a great profession, and you are now the pride of a great osteopathic faculty. Your career will, I know, sustain this pride as you serve those in need of your skill and dedication as osteopathic physicians. THOMAS M. ROWLAND, JR. B.S. Director of Admissions and Registrar To the Members of the Class of 1959: We have been together the past four years, and I am proud to have this opportunity to offer you my congratulations on your suc- cessful completion of the College ' s training program. Each of you is to be complimented on this achievement since you had many ob- stacles to surmount. Yours must be a life of service. In your professional life there is no room for materialism. If you serve mankind you will be more than adequately rewarded. The Philadelphia College of Osteopathy has given you the oppor- tunity not only to contribute to the welfare of our nati on but to provide for your needs. A graduate owes a debt to his college for its contribution to his life. So it is with you. Because of your accomplishments, sacrifices and perseverance I am very proud of all of you. May God be with you always.

A happy event took place at the 1958 convention of the American Osteopathic Association, in Washington, D. C. Doctor Galen S. Young was unanimously elected president by delegations representing the voice of our profession throughout the land. This election is unusual in that Dr. Young is one of the few presidents of our parent organization to be chosen from the faculty of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy. This election is an honor bestowed not only upon Dr. Young but upon our state, our college, and all of us as his students and associates. Dr. Young has always been known as a tireless worker for all that is good and fair for the profession and as a fighter for the advancement of Osteopathic Medicine. We salute and congratulate Doctor Galen S. Young on his election. We wish him well in his work and we look fotward to contributing with him to the advancement of our profession. 14
