TO THE CLASS OF 1962 In extending my good wishes upon your graduation. may I offer a word of counsel, which has behind it some years of experience. Your studies, far from being over, are really just beginning, and should be continued throughout your careers. The successful professional man is always a student keeping abreast of the cverchang ing aspects of his life’s work. The finding of new truths is as essential to scientific advancement as is the testing of old knowledge. The task of discovering these truths is one to which every college graduate,and particularly every graduate in the professions, should dedicate himself. This can be accomplished by individual ventures into the fields of research, exercising a pioneering spirit which will lift you to higher levels than the professional man who is content to practice only along conventional lines. In Dentistry, a science still in the process of development, the opportunities to become more than a stereotyped dental practitioner are very alluring. Progress to date in this important branch of the healing arts has been most satisfactory but to the inquisitive student, vistas of unexplored territory are still open. The true scholar will take every advantage of these opportunities. Impress your individuality upon your profession and thus rise above mediocrity, for you will not have attained success unless, and until, you have made the ultimate use of your ability. G. D. Timmons, Dean I keep it here for medicinal purposes. n Don't take his picture unless he takes ours. So this is “The Tropic of Cancer.
