HOODERS Hoods are a relic of medievalism in modem academic life. The hood's silken lining is the color of the university conferring the degree, and the velvet indicates the special area of study. The colors of Temple University are cherry red and white: dark green represents medicine. Hooders are individuals who symbolically bestow our degrees upon us. Each year the senior class chooses four individuals to place Academic Hoods upon us at our graduation ceremony. These distinguished individuals were selected not only for their superb quality of teaching, but for their hard work and dedication to the Class and Temple University School of Medicine. Our four years in medical school have been easier and more enjoyable due to individuals such as these, and they have served as inspirations and role models to us all. Hooders for the Class of 1999 are: Dr. Ronald Tuma. Professor and Chairperson. Department of Physiology, and Assoicate Dean of Medical Research: Dr. Ren nett Lorber, Professor of Medicine and Section Chief of the Section of Infectious Diseases; Dr. Gerald Sterling. Professor, Department of Pharmacology, and Associate Dean for Medical Education; and Gloria Greenberg. Administrative coordinator. Dean's Office. On behalf of the Class of 1999, the yearbook staff wishes to thank each of our hooders for the time they have taken to guide us through the beginning of our medical careers. Dr. Bennett Lorber i Dr. Ronald Tuma 8

This includes Cum Laude Award of the Radiological Society of America, Alpha Omega Alpha Distinguished Teacher Award, as well as Temple University Great Teacher Award. In addition, The SKULL has been dedicated to Dr. Schneck three times before. One piece of advice Dr. Schneck would like to leave for the Class of 1999 is this: You can't take anything out of this life, but you can leave stuff behind. What you leave behind is what you transmit toother people, including students and children. It is with the greatest admiration and gratitude that the Class of 1999, facing a great new millennium, dedicates this edition of the SKULL to Dr. Carson Schneck. Thank you for teaching us, inspiring us, and encouraging us to greater heights. What you shared with us through our time here at Temple, we will surely share with our children.
