Fellow Students: Having been one of those delegated to serve as guide during your four years” climb, I rejoice with you in witnessing your attainment of that which, at one time, must have seemed a dizzy and precipitous height. Whether pursuit or possession furnishes the greater stimulation, must always remain an individual matter. As far as the study of medicine is concerned, however, possession of the mere right to practice the art, fails to satisfy sooner or later. Those among you who may rest content with the accomplishment thus far won, will not continue to extract the joy from your work, comparable with that experienced during your climb. Your goal has been reached to be sure, but he alone is able to extract perennial joy, who hitches his wagon tc a star. Unattainable, perhaps, yet the very excitement of the chase keeps one well in the forefront. May this then be to you, only the beginning of a pursuit which may mean increasing joy to you, while you are rendering an immediate service to your fellow men. The real research man is as much a product of chance as is the painter, poet or musician. He is born, not made. But the stimulus of pursuit is open to every' man, and in the very struggle comes the making of character and the self'development which results in a higher product, and potentially, a greater capacity for effective service. Incidentally, a hobby is a good thing to cultivate, but insist on riding it. The reverse may prove more troublesome than the hives. William Egbert Robf.rtson, M.D. To the Graduating Class of 1930: This momentous year to you will also be remembered as the year that Temple University grew wings. The year the Medical School burst from the cocoon of relative obscurity and flashed into a larger, higher place in the medical world. This is the year of the great new medical building, of new and very' progressive departments, of the application of newer ideas in pedagogy, of the beginning of a broader attempt to solve medical problems. That the fine success of each one of you may match the flight of your Alma Mater to the heights for which she seems destined is the wish of W. Wayne Babcock. To the Class of ’30: For my message to the members of the Senior Class, I should like to call their attention to the following quotation from a magazine: Bite off more than you can chew and chew it: Lay out more than you can do and do it; Hitch you wagon to a star; Sit tight and there you are.”” Sincerely, Eighteen Chevalier Jackson.

To the Senior Class: May I extend congratulations upon the successful completion of your course in medicine, and extend to you best wishes for a happy internship and a most successful medical career. It is not necessary to remind you that you have consecrated your lives to humanity. To thine own self be true, but always remember the patient is your first consideration. Guard jealously the traditions of your profession, and “carry on with credit and honor, that future generations will look back with pleasure and profit, at your achievements. Bear in mind that preventive medicine is greater than curative medicine, and that you should occupy a very important place in the future scheme of personal and public health, which are dependent upon the watchful care, the diagnosis and faithful services of the family physician. No persons and no agencies can take the place of the family physician who is the keystone of the structure of public health. Faithfully yours, Frank C. Hammond. To My Senior Class: You are now a member of a profession honored above all others. The practice of medicine offers glorious opportunities for abundant service to your fellow men. Dedicate your lives to the cause of humanity, endeavoring always to relieve and befriend the sick and suffering. Remember the opportunities offered the physician to contribute something to the sum total of human knowledge. Many problems of absorbing interest and of utmost benefit to mankind are yet awaiting solution. It is my earnest hope that the members of the Class of 1930 may extend the border line of medical knowledge by discovering some agent or method that will cure a baffling disease, further relieve suffering, or result in the prolongation of human life. William N. Parkinson, Dean. Seventeen
