OFFICIAL COMMENDATION Congratulations From Our Dean JOHN M. DALY, M.D. DEAN Dear Members of the Class of 2008: Warm congratulations on your graduation from medical school. During the course of four years, you have come a long way. All of us who participated in your education at Temple know that you worked very hard for your degree, and we are proud of each and every one of you. We did our best to challenge you and comfort you, to answer your questions and question your answers, and to prepare you for a profession that relies on lifelong learning. In many ways, your education has only just begun. A very accomplished alumnus from the late 1980s recently wrote to me and said, “My current professional opportunities and past accomplishments are a direct reflection of my medical education at Temple. As time goes by, you too may come to recognize the special imprint that Temple has made on you. Our influence might show up in how you organize your approach to problem-solving, or in how you glean clues that others could miss during a physical exam. In ways both subtle and obvious, we’ll be there. We look forward to watching your careers in medicine as you seek to help others in the betterment of mankind. We are proud of your accomplishments — and will remain proud to be part of your history, as you are part of ours. Please keep in touch. You will always be part of our Temple family. Yours, John M. Daly, MD 73 Dean 12 TEMPLE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

PROFESSOR PROFESSOR SECTION CHIEF, TRAUMA CRITICAL CARE DEPARTMENT OF ANATOMY AND CELL BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF SURGERY DEPARTMENT OF RADIOLOGY 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 hooders - 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 dedication, 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 friend. Left top: Dr. Lyons with student and patient.
