Dedication Hugo D. Smith, M.D. These four years have witnessed the growth and maturation of each member of the Class of 1981. Challenged by many decisions, we have pondered, lamented in turmoil, and often sought needed and precious advice. Dr. Hugo Dunlap Smith has always been available at these troublesome times. As a member of the administration of the medical school, he is endowed with a wealth of information concerning academic scheduling and career plans. However, he has demonstrated to the Class of 1981 that he is far more than mainly an information reservoir. He has welcomed each of us at his door with warmth, humility, and compassion. He delights in exchanging knowledge and is an individual with a sense of commitment to the community, to his patients, and to us. It is, therefore, with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we dedicate SKULL 1981 to Dr. Hugo Dunlap Smith. 5
