Dr. and Mrs. Fackenthal are the parents of three. Edward Jr. is a law student at Temple University; Elaine is studying at Upsala University in Sweden; and Diane is a graduate of Bryn Mawr and is presently studying Music Education at Penn State. A circle of activities include Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity, Sigma Xi (Honorary Chemistry Fraternity), Rho Chi (Honorary Pharmaceutical Fraternity) and Phi Delta Chi, the latter of which he is the advisor. I lis aid to the senior class has been invaluable as both advisor and teacher. This Dedication is but a small token which we hope in some way, expresses the sincere appreciation of every member of this class, for the efforts, concern, and devotion of our friend and teacher . . . Dr. Edward Fackenthal. 7

 Of all intellectual friendships, none arc so beautiful as those which subsist between old and ripe men and their younger brethren in science or literature or art. It is by these friendships, even more than by public performance, that the tradition of sound thinking and great doing is perpetuated from age to age.”— Hamerton. Dr. Edward Fackenthal has given generously of his intellectual friendship and companionship to the Class of 1958 and it is to him that this yearbook is dedicated. The story of Dr. Fackenthal began in Pequest, New Jersey on September 23, 1903. He attended high school in Easton, Pennsylvania and after graduating in 1921, went to Columbia University for a period of two years. This latter period provided a wonderful opportunity to absorb the aura of the theatre and concert world native to a city like New York. Dr. Fackenthal then came to Temple I niversity and in 1936 received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry. The following year he earned the Master of Science Degree from the University of Pennsylvania and in 1953 the same institution conferred upon him the Doctor of Philosophy degree. 6

These are times of challenge, and because they are, I take special satisfaction in giving to the professional world, with the approval of the University and of your faculty, the 1958 graduates of the School of Pharmacy. You are workers in the field of miracles—a field that has burgeoned in the life span of people now living. It was only about twenty years ago that we began to talk about wonder drugs, and since then pharmaceutical research has continued to lead the way toward discoveries as magical as some of the things recounted in rales of myth and folklore. At a time when the world is so fearful and concerned about the technologies of destruction, we find assurance in the thought that the talents and energies of young people like yourselves are being contributed to the science of saving life and restor- . ing health.
