Fortunately, we chose someone that strived to make sure that the profession continues to grow and improve with each generation. Dr. Daly has ensured that our class will continue this legacy by providing us a firm foundation to learn. forward through the mercurial sea of medical school. Our home for the past four years was built mainly due to the effort of then Dean Daly. When he retired from the position of Dean, we were fortunate enough to thank him for his dedication to us as students by actively assisting in hosting his retirement party. (According to Dr. Daly, he fondly remembers this.) Most importantly, we will always remember Dr. Daly as our first introduction to Temple. His example as Born here in Pennsylvania, Dr. John Daly has made his mark in history in the state of Pennsylvania as well as the lives of many members of our class. His career began after he graduated cum laude from La Salle University. He started his medical education here at Temple and has remained dedicated to this institution since then. He graduated from Temple as an Alpha Omega Alpha in 1973 and went on to complete surgical residency at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston. After residency, Dr. Daly further expanded his career at esteemed institutions such as Cornell University Medical College, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, before returning to Temple University School of Medicine as the dean. 6 DEDICATION

«2V. John 2)Jj DEDICATION t was with great pleasure that Dr. John Daly was selected as the dedicatee for the 2013 edition of The Skull. For years, Dr. Daly devoted his time and experience to the students of Temple University School of Medicine. This dedication is but a small token of gratitude for improving our education. He will be particularly special to us, and we know our class will be special to him because of our fellow classmate, Maureen Daly Moore. On this rare occasion, we thought it was appropriate to have Maureen write some words to her father: Dad, On behalf of the class of 2013, please accept our deepest gratitude for your tireless effort in helping us become better doctors. You imparted your medical and professional knowl- edge on the medical students in order to make them excellent physicians. Your vision of a new medical school (where future students would learn and grow), not only became a reality, but also exceeded all expectations. You also knew that the foundation of any medical school was not in the infrastructure, but rather in its occupants. We as students benefitted tremendously from the support you provided to the existing faculty members as well as the new ones you recruited. On a personal level, you led by example in being a great father and great husband while also excelling in your professional career. I am proud and honored to be following in your footsteps. Thank you for all you do. Love always, Maureen DEDICATION 5
