 TO THE CLASS OF 1965: It is with deep pride that I extend to you, my first graduating class, my best wishes. May you be priviledged the opportunity to continue the legacy that is Temple’s and our Profession’s through many years of successful participation in Dentistry. You must be ever mindful that society expects of you. the holder of a D.D.S. degree, the fulfillment of intellect or of judgment in caring for their dental health. This implies continuing your education to enable you to better serve your patients. This also implies your exercise of judgment as to not only what is best for your patients, but what is within the limits of your capabilities. All of us should feel eternally grateful for the heritage that has been provided us in Dentistry. It is my humble opinion you should feel equally grateful to Temple University. Your success is limited only by how well you use your knowledge and your skills. The opportunity is yours. I wish you well as you enter a great Profession from a great University. Charles L. Howell, Dean DEAN 15

In this regard you who have had the privilege of studying in one of America’s strong programs in dental education stand ready for entering a stimulating and rewarding professional life. You have had an association with students and faculties in the several areas of the health sciences. The interdependence of all who work in areas of public and personal health is known and valued. You have studied in an environment which places emphasis upon preventive medicine as well as treatment and therapy for the ill. Even more, you have as undergraduates and professional students prepared to assume the responsibilities of the professional man as a citizen in his community as well as a dentist in his office and clinic.
