DEDICATION A smiling face in a long white lab coat—-to the Class of 1962 this has become a familiar sight in the last four years. I)r. Elkin, teacher, adviser, friend—it is to you that we dedicate with affection, our yearbook. Our first encounter with you was as chemistry professor in the freshman year. Here we came to know a man who had a genuine interest in teaching, who taught so all members of the class could learn, but yet who demanded standards of excellence from his students. It was also during this first year that we became acquainted with Dr. Elkin, class adviser. Though we once again came under your tutelage in “qual” and “quant.” we came to know you best through the four years in your role as class adviser. To the entire class you represented a person interested in our activities. You worked hard to make the trip a success, and it was. You promised us an enjoyable prom, and it was. To those of us who were instrumental in the publication of this yearbook, we owe you a heartfelt thanks for your aid. Whatever problems we had, we knew where to find a sympathetic and helpful friend and adviser. The Class of 1962 makes known to you its feelings with this verbal round of applause. From us to you. we dedicate this yearbook, the final collective project of this class, to the man who has guided our college years. 6

JOSEPH R. SPROWLS, Dean of School of Pharmacy To the Members of the Class of 1962: Many do not realize that the purpose of a college education is not solely to prepare one for practice in a chosen line of endeavor but also to build the structure that serves as a bridge between the best elements of the past and the distant future of mankind. The accomplishment of this objective presents an awesome challenge to the faculty and is one which we meet only in part. Therefore, to the extent which we have failed, it will he necessary for you to individually and collectively chart your course for the future. History has clearly demonstrated that although individualism is essential to the development of new concepts and ideas, some degree of collectivism is important to a peacefully integrated society. Those lights which can best guide you in your voyage are continued study in your professional field, good literature, high standards of professional conduct and faith. As Dean of your school. I take pride in the achievements of alumni, feeling that through your efforts. Temple University achieves its aim of benefiting society. 1 hope that you will keep your faculty friends at the School of Pharmacy informed so that they may rejoice with you at your successes. Lot the commencement program ! e the beginning of a new relationship with your Alma Mater, not as student to college but alumnus to a revered and cherished institution which has helped to shape vour life. With all good wishes. Joseph R, Sprowls Dean 5
