CHARLES L. HOWELL D.D.S., M.P.H. F.A.C.D. DEAN TO THE CLASS OF 1971 Relevance — involvement — identify — are terms used frequently these days. Too often they are offered and or received as rhetoric. By chance, you have been involved and assisted in identifying issues of the school, the University, our community. In my judgment you have made meaningful contributions to the many changes — some subtle, some overt — that have occurred and accrued during your student days, none of which were rhetorical. It is my hope you will continue your interest in issues, identify yourself with them, become involved, question the relevance of the discussion. I further hope you will accomplish this, in part at least, by continuing your interest in your school and by taking an active part in your local dental society. My very best to each of you. 4

JOHN L. BOMBA D.D.S., F.A.C.D., F.I.C.D. CLASS ADVISOR TO THE CLASS OF 1971 Congratulations to all of you on your collective and individual performances during your four years of study at Temple University School of Dentistry. Your class has effectively demonstrated to the Faculty a degree of maturity and willingness to accept responsibility that, in my opinion, is above the average of comparable groups. Probably no other class in the history of the School has had to contend with as much change in the curriculum as the Class of 1971 has encountered. It is to your everlasting credit that you accepted the changes with equanimity and have, in many instances, made suggestions which led to additional changes. In so doing, you have demonstrated many of the traits a member of the dental profession must possess in order to assure continuing progress and success. All of you have reason to be proud of the record you leave behind you. The potential for leadership which your class has displayed is limitless and bodes well for the future of the profession. The likelihood of dynamic change in dentistry has never been more favorable or inevitable: and so. the fact that you have already demonstrated your capacity to cope with the unexpected should alleviate any apprehension of what the future may hold for you. I hope to have the personal pleasure of hearing from all of you concerning your accomplishments in the years to come. Please know that wherever you go and whatever you do my best wishes go with you.
