He greeted us freshman year with his overview of anatomy and his breakdown of the medical student work-week, reminding us to take time for ourselves and our families. He guided us through our basic sciences, utilizing his homemade embryology models, his histology Kodachromes and his reassuring sense of humor. He insured our success in the clinical sciences by providing us with both a solid foundation in anatomy and insight into problem solving. These words were written in the 1993 SKULL about J. Robert Troyer, PhD., the year he retired after forty years of service to Temple University School of Medicine. Dr. Troyer taught Gross Anatomy, Ncuroanatomy, Embryology, and Histology for 39 years. After obtaining his AB degree from Syracuse University in 1949 and his Ph.D. in Histology and Embryology from Cornell University, he began his distinguished career at Temple in 1954 as an Instructor of Anatomy. He was promoted to Assistant Professor in 1959, Associate Professor in 1963, full Professor in 1969, and finally. Chair of the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology in 1978, a position he held until his retirement in 1993. Dr. Troyer's prolific career produced numerous publications, including research papers, abstracts, and textbook chapters. Most of his research centered on neurosecretion in hibernating animals and cmbryologic abnormalities. By far, Dr. Troyer will be remembered most by the faculty and students for his ability to teach. Thousands of Temple medical students through the years have witnessed his creative teaching methods and attempts to get his students to visualize the developing embryo in three dimensions as he rotated plastic bags, twisted balloons and climbed ladders in front of the classroom. He contributed over 450 hours of teaching each year, including laboratory and didactic lectures, as well as outstanding review sessions prior to major exams and national boards. It was this dedication that earned him 22 teaching awards during his tenure. Among these were several Golden Apple Awards for outstanding teaching; the nationally renowned Lind-back Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1972; and the George A. Sowell Award for Teaching Excellence in the Basic Sciences in 1982; and in 1989, he received a Temple University Great Teacher Award. He was also the first John Franklin Huber Professor of Anatomy. In 1990, the Anatomy department honored him by establishing the J. Robert Troyer Award, which is given annually to the medical student with the highest cumulative grade point average in all four courses taught by the Department. His contributions to Temple were acknowledged on many occasions, including having three yearbooks dedicated to him and participating as a hoodcr in four graduation cont. on page 7 Making music with sister Joan.
