WILLIAM N. PARKINSON, M.D., DEAN The year 1959 marks Dr. Parkinson’s thirtieth anniversary as Dean of the medical school. During this period the growth of the staff, facilities, and reputation of Temple Medical School have been remarkable. This record of progress constitutes an enduring monument to Dr. Parkinson’s energy' and efforts. Dr. Parkinson, an honor graduate in medicine at Temple in 1911. has unceasingly contributed to the progress of his alma mater. Surprising in view of the magnitude of Dr. Parkinson’s official duties is his personal interest in every one of his students. Though contacts with him arc limited. Dr. Parkinson knows every one of his students by name and jx ssesses a remarkable knowledge of their academic and extracurricular activities. Our school has been privileged to have had so dynamic, yet so ingenuous a man as Dean during these years. 10
