In this one-hundreth anniversary year of Temple University School of Dentistry, the Class TRIBUTE of 1963 wishes to pay tribute to three men whose loyal servico totals one-hundred years and who will be retiring shortly. The first of these, Doctor Louis Herman, affectionately known as Uncle Louie, has been associated with Temple Dental School since his graduation in the class of 1919. For the past forty years he has carried out his duties as instructor of Oral Anatomy and Operative Dentistry in a manner which has brought distinction both to himself and Temple Dental School. In 1950, as Professor of Oral Anatomy and Operative Dentistry, he also assumed the responsibility of Director of Graduate Studies and Director of Student Admissions, in which two positions he will remain although retiring from his didactic chores. Throughout these many years he has maintained a warm understanding and interest in his students and many past as well as present graduates owe him much for his encouragement and confidence. A Fellow of the American College of Dentists since 1953, Doctor Herman has accumulated many well deserved awards for his outstanding service to the profession as well as the dental school. We of the class of 1963 hope that he will be around for many more years in his capacity as Director of Graduate Studies to welcome us back for numerous continuing dental educational courses.

Doctor Michael Salerno, Associate Professor of Prosthetic Dentistry is well known to both students and faculty for his unselfish contribution of time and efforts on behalf of Temple Dental School and the dental profession. Since his appointment to the faculty in 1931, Mike has given devoted service to his fellow man. A tabulation of all the times he has gone out of his way to help others and all the people he has helped would fill this volume. Among Mike's philanthropic activities is his membership on the Board of Directors of the Retarded Children's Association. His deep insight into human nature explains his ability to analyze the problems of the denture patient. His lectures Psychology of the Denture Patient , are classics of the Junior and Senior Prosthetic courses. Upon his retirement the students will sorely miss the Director of the Sobel Lab . ■ We the class of 1963 wish to express our sincere respect and gratitude for these many years of service and sacrifice contributed to our school and the profession. The future of the school and the profession depends upon the legacy of such men as Louis Herman, Carl McMurray and Michael Salerno, a credit to their lives, their school, and their profession. 8
