To the Class of 1937 Complying with your request for a parting message, I am awakened to a feeling of adventure for I vividly recall the days immediately following my launching upon a professional career. How times have changed! Within the past twenty-five years Dentistry has evolved from a simple professional calling, associated with empirical training formulae and mechanical practice into a science on a par with Medicine as a health protective service to mankind. In every civilized country, Dentistry has been exaulted as an essential division of Public Health Service and you, as a class, as well as individuals, are, therefore, to be congratulated at being considered by your Faculty sufficiently equipped to begin carrying on the work so nobly begun by pioneers in this country, a little over a hundred years ago. The mantle of responsibility now falls upon your shoulders and I feel confident, that as members of the graduating class of Temple University, you will not regard it lightly. 1 trust you will ever remember that satisfaction comes from a deed well done. Therefore, continued learning must be yours from this, your entrance into the professional world, in order that you may keep apace with the rapid flow of evolutionary progress. Monetary gain will not bring to you the kind of satisfaction I have in mind for each of you and, as graduates of the Temple of Learning, I feel sure you have already recognized this truth and will fulfill your obligations to humanity to the highest possible degree. In selecting a location for beginning practice, do not underestimate the value of service in the smaller towns. Don't neglect your practice, yet don't forget to play. Don't division your work; confine your duties to Dentistry. Be true to yourself and your friends will be proud of you and, above all, don't forget your religious and your social obligations. I would be remiss, as your Class Advisor, were I not to thank you for the co-operative effort that you have extended, at all times. I have appreciated the honor which you have con-fered upon me and, in closing, I will not say good-bye, but au revoir, for I shall expect to see you, one and all, at future gatherings of our Alma Mater. Sincerely Yours, C. BARTON ADDIE Class Advisor—Associate Dean Fifteen
