James E. Bates, D.P.M. President Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine TO THE CLASS OF 1990 How fortunate arc you to be grjdu.it I or at chl« pot'll tn time! The decade of the 80's ended on a positive note as world leaders wl to discuss continued arms limitation and the furtherance of world peace. In the United States, humanitarian Issues have becon -more and more prominent In politics Closer to home, within the Tri-State Area, politicians are showing greater concern lor the educational needs ol Doctors of Podiatric Medicine. tn 1989, for cxanplc, the New Jersey Governnent addressed the need for state-funded residency progruus for podtatrl its in a state where residency has long been a requirement for licensure. And at PCPM. literally In our own backyard, we have witnessed the conpletlon of a state-of-the-arl Foot and Ankle Institute which will enable us tn provide the research and health care necessary to carry the foot-sore public well Into the 2ist century. So things are looking up as you cross the threshold fron student tn Doctor! The profession you enter Is light years different than the one I entered years ago. My generation worked hard to raise the standards that we enjoyed. You too must use the hose that Is the standard for the profession today and hr lug It to new heights lor tile generation that will follow veu. In a relatively shurt time, you have completed your work at PCPM. Tliough the past four year have not been cany, I would hope that. In retrospect, vou can appreciate the personal gain which resulted froa each challenge you faced. Remember. your formal education I completed, but In order to he the best , you will need to continue your studies because the half-life of knowledge In podiatric medicine today Is less than ftvc years. Ur are proud of what we observe In you today — skill, knowledge, professionalism and enthusiasm! We wish you nuch success as you face the challenges and opportunities to cone In the final decade of the 20th century! 9 K. Bates, D.P.M. P esldent EIGHTH AT RACE STREET • PHILADELPHIA.

Sandra G. Mannix Vice President For Student Affairs Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine SANDRA C MANNIX VICE MtVOCN rot iUlOCNT AFTAMS Dear Class of 1990i Pour years ago we entered PCPH together.unsure ot what we were going to find, perhaps even a little frightened ot the future we were about to share. In the intervening years we have experienced son good times, some nol-so-good tines and some terrible noncnts. We have argued, but more often we have worked together for your successes, individually and as a class, and you have been successful. On balance, it has been a good four years. It IS difficult to write anything that sounds new or inspiring or creative for graduates, particularly graduates who are as bright and alert as the members of the Class of 1990! But 1 did not want to let this occasion pass without a formal recognition of how much you all have meant to me. As 1 muddled through ny first weeks here, you were warm and supportive. As we both became more familiar with what and how we were doing, you remained the caring and concerned individuals I had gotten to know. You will remain very special to me. Everyone In Student Affairs joins me In ulalilng all of you the very beet in both your personal and professional lives. You have worked hard and have earned all of the rights, privileges and responsibilities that go with the tide “doctor.1 You have shown a commitment to the needy, the handicapped and those in pain. I know that cotnuitnenc will remain with you as you serve your patients with energy and dedication. Co into your careers as podiatric physicians with excitement and Joy. Wo are with you In spirit and remain your colleaguea and friends. Congratulations to you all. As always, with much affection. 4 EICHTH AT RACE STREET • PHILADELPHIA. PA 19107 • 215-629-0300
