TO THE CLASS OF 1961 Your decision to dedicate your Year Book to me came as a real surprise and 1 accept the honor with sincere appreciation. Only during your senior year have I come into close contact with many of you but during this brief period I have found this to be a very rewarding experience. To terminate my teaching at Temple University with this quality of relationship is a source of deep satisfaction. Your student years at Temple University have been signally eventful in many aspects. Weatherwise as sophomores you survived the blizzard of March 1958 while during your senior year Philadelphia experienced the coldest and the snowiest winter in this century. You have had the good fortune to be students under the administrations of two illustrious Temple University Presidents . . . Dr. Robert L. Johnson and Dr. Millard E. Gladfelter. Since your freshman year the School of Pharmacy has inaugurated the five-year curriculum and the Ph.D. Degree Program. The first candidates to complete the latter program received the Ph D. degree in 1960. At times you may have felt that some of your teachers were unreasonably demanding and exacting. In retrospect we hope that you will realize that we were really concerned with your growth and development and not just wanting to be tough. As you go forth into your chosen field of work it is our hope that you will find pertinence in both the academic and the non-academic aspects of your college experiences. Persistence in the face of difficulty, the ability to get along happily with people in all walks of life, the art of finding joy in difficult tasks well done, constructively serving your fellowman—are among the blessings that wc covet for each of you. May we each realize that the major satisfactions of life do not consist just in material abundance but rather in useful work, wholesome recreation, deepening friendships, and the submission of all of life to the purposes of God. 5 96 2-

MILLARD E. GLADFELTER president Temple University To the Class of 1961: Temple University was founded in 1884 and chartered in 1889. Since we arc now celebrating the 76th anniversary of these founding years, the Class of 1961 is among the graduating classes of the Jubilee Years. School of Pharmacy graduates have a justifiable pride in becoming alumni members of this particular college and of the University in general. The School of Pharmacy has a distinguished roster of alumni and an enviable record in the profession. It also has a place of distinction characteristically for its excellent faculty, its splendid library and physical facilities, and its competency in research. To any alumnus this is a source of strength and pride. To the members of the Class of 1961 it should be an inheritance which will enable each to advance the healing arts within our society. It is my hope that it will give you great comfort and satisfaction as you enter the practice of Pharmacy. You have my warmest regards and very best wishes. Cordially yours, Millard E.
