Deans Message GERALD D. TIMMONS Ph.G’v D.D.S., D.SC., F.A.C.D. Dean, School of Dentistry To the Class of 1957: As you complete your fourth and final year at Temple University, School of Dentistry, you must remember that your dental education is just beginning. It is true that you are now dentists, but you must strive to continue your education to meet the needs of your patients and community. You are going to enter a profession, the background of which is the mutual trust which must be developed between you and your patients. Be worthy of the trust and confidence manifested by your patients and your success will follow. I sincerely hope that as graduates of the School of Dentistry you will retain your loyalty to the school, honor its tradition, reflect upon its dignity and assist in its future development. I, personally, wish for each and every one of you a long life of achievement, happiness and contentment. 11 Sincerely, G. D. Timmons, Dean

Presidents Message ROBERT LIVINGSTON JOHNSON A.B., LL.D. President of Temple University To the Class of 1957: In a newspaper report of the civil proceedings that resulted from an accident, I noticed that the court awarded to the plaintiff one thousand dollars for the loss of each of several teeth. On the basis of this valuation, every normal, healthy adult has in his mouth an endowment of nature worth $32,000. In consideration of the function of the teeth and the long term of service expected of them, that is not an excessive sum. Actually, of course, the health of the oral cavity and the contribution it makes to the well-being of the whole mon cannot be expressed in monetary terms. Physical fitness is the man himself. Detract from it, and you have placed just that much impediment in the way of his functioning. You, the members of the Class of 1957, are being graduated to become one of the important custodians of that fitness. You have had the best professional training to be had in your field. Use it to the best of your ability, and your community will be indebted to you for your contribution to sounder health, improved personal attitudes, happier homes, and greater accomplishments in useful work. Few services are of a higher order.
