in his home. In addition to these pursuits, he somehow still finds the time and energy to return to Texas every summer, where he helps supervise the family farm on the Gulf Coast. Dr. Hamilton is particularly interested in the development of clinical applications of analytical methods. He has authored many papers dealing with this topic, mainly pertaining to quantitative analyses in biological materials. Having performed so productively in the past, Dr. Hamilton now looks towards the future with anticipation. The advent of our Research Building has signaled expansion of the biochemistry department both in staff and in research programs. All projects of a biochemical nature undertaken at Temple University, at both postgraduate and undergraduate levels, will be centrally coordinated from the departmental office. New areas of investigation will be explored in both the basic and clinical sciences. Much is being done in cooperation with the Departments of Surgery. Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dermatology, and Cardiology. It is with a great deal of pleasure that we, the Class of 1963, dedicate our SKULL to you, Dr. Robert H. Hamilton, in recognition of the services you have rendered to Temple University, to its students, and to medicine. 7
