Temple Now Kresge Science Hall, Medical Research Building and the Old Medical School A yearbook is many things to many people, tor it is both a personal and a public book. For any graduating class a yearbook is always very personal. For them it is primarily a collection of memories of their sojourn through the school. But a yearbook is read by many people in addition to the graduating class and it soon becomes a part of the school itself. In this way, a yearbook is very public. Therefore, it should have a theme which is of interest to both its personal and public audiences. The editors of Skull 78 have chosen the theme of Temple Now and Then. Within the pages of this book are its public and personal aspects: the history of Temple University Hospital and the School of Medicine, the spirit of Temple Now, as created by its faculty, staff and students and the personal story of the Class of 1978. 8 Student Union-Continuing Education Building

His departure, surely one of Temple's greatest losses, was understandable, for he deserved the recognition that a Chairmanship would bring him.

Although he has departed for New England, his contributions at Temple remain. The Med I rotation is one of the most well- organized of the junior year, the Clinical Medicine course is now one of the most popular of the sophomore year and the Department of Medicine boasts not only the finest residents, but also one of the most efficient administrative systems in the hospital. Shortly before his departure, when reminded that he would be missed and his absence felt, he remarked that it was a faulty notion that an individual, even himself, was irreplaceable. It was his feeling also that within a short time that if his name were mentioned, the response would be something like, Herb Waxman? Who is he7 Well, his modesty deceived him on both scores! In a sense, he was replaced,” but not with one person but rather with five or six trying to carry out. with some difficulty, the duties he assumed alone. Forgotten? Hardly! Students, faculty members and laboratory and administrative staff all volunteer superlatives in describing his personal and professional qualities whenever his name is mentioned. All, too, are excited by this yearbook dedication. Not only are they happy that he was recognized by the students he served, but they hope to see him again at graduation. We hope that he will accept this dedication as a token of our appreciation for his efforts in making our medical education the fine experience that it has been. A.O.J. - 12 Feb 78 7
