Abraham Lincoln once said, “Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it, the tree is the real thing.” John Sharp has a reputation at Temple that casts an immense shadow, both in class and clinic. His knowledge and experience have been the keystone to a fine Chiropody education for many. Yet he teaches more than classroom work, he teaches a philosophy of life by his professional demeanor. This philosophy is the greatest facet of his character, for it is this that shapes the character of others. We of the Class of 1958 are grateful to have been taught by him, honored to have known him and proud to be associated with him in the same profession. DEDICATION 3

To our classmates we leave the “Rules of Conduct” by John Wesley; Do all the good you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can. If this be your code of ethics; fulfillment, success and society’s gratitude will all be yours. The Editors FOREWORD 2

Messages from our Walt Whitman said, “The narrowest hinge in my hand puts to scorn all machinery.” If he had said that of the human foot, he would have spoken as truly. With its arched instep absorbing the jars that would be transmitted to the spinal column and the nervous system, its structure is a match for man’s greatest engineering marvels. This is the area of your specialty. I need not remind you that your knowledge and skill can be contributors to the comfort, health, and productivity of your fellows in uncounted numbers. That is what makes your profession one of dignity and importance. Conduct yourself in a way worthy of one of its practitioners and worthy of the institution that sponsors you. This will insure for you the satisfactions that are the rightful reward for those who do well the things needful to human happiness. My sincerest best wishes. Robert L. Johnson President 4
