 To the Class of 1964: It is with great pleasure that 1 extend my congratulations to all of you upon your graduation. Since 1942, when 1 came to Temple University as the Dean of the Dental School, dentistry has grown in its position as a rapidly growing segment of the healing arts professions. Now as I greet you, the twenty-third and last graduating class in my tenure as Dean, I should like to offer a few words of counsel. Dentistry will continue to expand only through your search for new truths. This can only be done by a continuation of your studies. The basic knowledge which you take with you should act as a stimulus for excursions into the vast unexplored territories which still exist in the health sciences. Without a continuation of your studies you will fall back into the mediocrity of the stereotyped practitioner. Do not permit yourselves to fall into this mediocrity. The desire to do your absolute best, the expression of individuality on your new profession, and the continuation of your quest for knowledge will allow you to rise above that position and help you to attain success. It is with pleasure that I welcome my last graduating class into the fold of a great profession. Gerald D. Timmons Dean 7 GERALD D. TIMMONS DEAN
