PRESIDENT To the Members of the Class of 1961: With the completion of studies for the Degree of Doctor of Osteopathy, it is my privilege and pleasure to greet the members of the Graduating Class. ou of the Class of 1961 have concluded your courses. You have worked hard, and some of you have made great personal sacrifices along with those of your families, in order to qualify as a physician. As you set forth in our profession, you will enter a heavily populated world in which the pyramiding demands for services might render elastic some of the standards of performance. There are certain callings in which no expansion, no inflation, no emergency extension of the need can properly invite less than the best performance. The art of healing is foremost among them. You belong to that special category of men and women to whose ministrations the health and lives of human beings is entrusted. For that reason, as your College President, I would like to remind you of your responsibilities. With the Degree of Doctor of Osteopathy and the accompanying Osteo- pathic oath, you are accepting the disciplines and ethics of thousands of healers who went before. You follow in the steps of great and dedicated men. In our world today, in this second year of the 1960 ' s, there are some things that cannot vary. The basic sciences do not change: they may yield constantly new truths and through research present great wonders, especially in the fields of healing and promoting longevity among our people. But throughout these processes, the human body remains much the same as in Hippocrates ' era. It must be treated with sure knowledge and great care, in the spirit of the understanding servant. That service is not measured by dollar signs. Finally, let me say that the rewards of the good and great physician cannot be counted by material evaluations. I know this may sound idealistic, but unless you all have dreams and ideals within you, I sincerely doubt you would be in this class. The dedicated D.O. is prepared in spirit as well as in healing knowledge. As such he knows the great responsibilities that go with our free- dom to learn, to accept that knowledge from others, and through them to become custodians of a precious right. Remember too that as the gates of opportunity beckon and open wider, so also increase the disciplines and the weight of duty that you, as good osteo- pathic physicians and patriotic Americans, owe to your profession and your fellow men. I congratulate the Class of 1961, and ask God ' s blessing on each one of you. Frederic H. Barth, President
