FROM DUR DEAN JOHN M. DALY, M.D. Dm Dear Members of the Class of 2007: Warmest congratulations. You've graduated. It’s a very important landmark in your career. And now it is time to focus on the next stage in your education, soon to be followed by the step after that, and the step after that, ad infinitum. Medicine is a continuous process of learning and developing. There is no arriving, no end point. Medicine, like space, is endless, fascinating, and infinitely explorable. You have learned an enormous amount these past four years at Temple, but if we have done our job well, your biggest take-way lesson is that your education has only just begun. As you embrace successively more challenging and rewarding phases of your career, we hope that you will think back on your Temple medical school years with fondness, recognizing the special imprint that we strived to make on you - and that you certainly made on us. Yours John M. Daly, MD’73 Dean 10 Terrple University School of medicine

The hood is lined in silk with the official colors of the institution conferring the degree. The edging of the hood is velvet, with a particular color representative of the field of study to which the degree pertains. The official colors of Temple University are cherry and white while the velvet is dark green signifying medicine. A doctorate degree has a hood length of four feet. The tradition is that a candidate for a degree should not wear the hood of that degree until it is actually conferred. One of the great continuing traditions is the presence of hood-ers - individuals who symbolically bestow the medical degree upon each graduate. The senior class chose four individuals to assist with the placement of hoods. These distinguished members of the faculty were selected not only for their superior quality of teaching, but for their passion, hard work and dedica- ''C 'CCW' tion, the practice of medicine, and student education. Each hooder has committed themselves to challenging the minds of medical students and encouraging future doctors to maintain integrity to the profession It was from these mentors that we were able to obtain the knowledge and learn the skills to become physicians - doctor, teacher and fnend. 2007 Skull I 9
