I cannot accept it for myself. By my statements above, we, faculty, students and administration, have become inextricably linked. To honor one is ,to honor all. I can accept it knowing that it is dedicated to the faculty who taught you, the administration who tried to be helpful and was minimally obstructive to your peculiar suggestions, and above all to vour own class who will remain an integral part of the school. I coiild not be honored more than having you as my companions in this dedication. The warmest of good wishes, M. Prince Brigham, Associate Dean

June 10, 1976 Dr. M. Prince Brigham Associate Dean Temple University School of Medicine Philadelphia, PA 19140 Dear Dr. Brigham: It is with much pleasure and affection that the class of 1977 dedicates its yearbook to you in recognition of your many years of service to the Temple Medical School and to its students as a surgeon, teacher, researcher, administrator and friend. In this time of rapid change during which we celebrate the 200th anniversary of our country, we look back to the lofty ideals and remarkable men who nurtured the growth of this free nation. It is, therefore, no wonder that we as developing physicians look back upon our own period of growth and remember with warmth a man who represents a positive force for idealism in our own lives. Our sincercst congratulations, Class of ’77
