Millard E. Gladfelter President To the Class of 1966 School of Dentistry: Your graduation from the Temple University School of Dentistry comes at a most significant time in the history of this institution. It is a time of profound change and growth. Outwardly, the face of Temple University is undergoing tremendous physical expansion. But. internally, as well, new ideas, new methods, new developments in teaching, training and practical experience are improving to meet the demands of higher education, research and graduate study. You are completing your formal study at the second oldest dental school in the world in continuous existence, and one which has established an impressive heritage and significant influence upon our community, our nation, and the world. As alumni you become part of a group which provides 60 percent of all the dentists in the great Delaware Valley. And the program you are including is one of the nation’s finest in dental education. This training and experience gives you the knowledge and skills to enter a challenging and stimulating professional life. Our nation today places greater emphasis on preventive medicine than ever before in our history. As dentists. you will be faced with providing a share of this care in dental hygiene as well as treatment and therapy. Dental care for the aged will be an ever-increasing function of your profession. As you leave the classroom for the office, the clinic or hospital, the challenges of our complex world await you. Whether you serve in this community, in the service of your country here or abroad, or other parts of our country. this should be a time of personal satisfaction and fulfillment with other men of science that you arc waging a war against sickness and death in our society. As alumni of the Temple University School of Dentistry, I hope you will continue to take an active interest in your alma mater, just as your school will continue to watch your growth and accomplishments. Sinccrly yours. President 21
