Sir William Osier, in an address at McGill College after twenty-five years of service at that institution, said, From two points of view alone have we a wide and satisfactory view of life —one, as, amid the glorious tints of the early morn, ere the dew of youth has been brushed off, we stand at the foot of the hill, eager for the journey; the other, wider, perhaps less satisfactory, as we gaze from the summit, at the lengthening shadows cast by the setting sun. From no point in the ascent have we the same broad outlook, for the steep and broken pathway affords few halting places with an unobscured view. Dr. Thomas H. Hindle III, is completing his first year as assistant dean of Temple University School of Medicine. Standing at the foot of the hill, he comments on the prospects for the future. Over the years, the School of Medicine has grown rapidly and unceasingly until at the present time.the position of Temple in the sphere of medical influence is universally respected. Those who are graduating, their formal education completed, look ahead to the experiences held by the future. Your School also looks ahead to your future, for you are its representatives in the world of medicine. You are the products of Temple's educational program. The efforts of your preceptors will be judged in a large part by the manner in which you carry out the responsibilities of your professional calling. The School and the alumni grow in stature in direct proportion to each other. As students you have observed the beginning of an expansion program that, upon completion, will place Temple among the larger medical teaching institutions. This program represents the outcome of years of persistent endeavor by the Dean and the faculty to keep pace with the increasing needs of the School and the community. The trend in recent years toward earlier clinical experience in medical education seems to have found its place. However, in doing so, it has taxed the existing physical facilities. In the future, the students will have the advantage of a modern integrated teaching and clinical program within this new medical center. This will not mean more students, for Temple has reached its optimum size. Rather, it will mean more widely diversified opportunities for the student during his academic years. Medical education is in a constant state of change. This is necessary so that it keep abreast of new developments in an era when the machinery of technological advance seems to be running perpetually in high gear. Many fruitful changes are the result of frequent critical reevaluation combining the judgments of the mature and experienced with those of the young and aggressive. You have observed these characteristics in your contact with Temple's faculty. This pattern will continue to develop in the future, for in it is the essence of progress—a willingness to adapt to new needs through evaluation in the perspective of experience. The story of education is as old as man and as new as each year's graduating class. The precepts and needs of an institution are no different from those of individuals. Outlined above are some of the precepts that have guided Temple to its present stature—and will continue to motivate the adaptations for the future that will fulfill the goal of educating competent and resourceful physicians, for ultimate growth of each graduate is dependent upon how well his professional and personal life is patterned on the principles of continuous education and frequent critical reevaluation. Your school wishes you the best in all your future endeavors. THOMAS H. HINDLE III B.S., M.D. Assistant Dean—Temple University School of Medicine
