I am unsure how to address you I know this yearbook will be published and av ailable prior to your graduation, per se. However, I am confident that each of you, having completed a demanding course of study, will receive the degree of Doctor of Podiatnc Medicine by the time this letter is intended to be read Therefore. I think it is appropriate to address you now as my colleagues for the first time instead of as my students, and I am most grateful for the opportunity to do so. Many w ho have not been as fortunate as I in becoming faculty here may not comprehend my profound satisfaction as you metamorphosued ftom first year students to Hedging doctors, ready and able to fully benefit ftom post-graduate training. The impact of this transformation has never been far from my thoughts and is the most rewarding part of my work. In this. 1 am sure that I speak, not for myself, but for the entire faculty of the Temple University School of Podiatnc Medicine You have indeed undergone rigorous training, training now more on par with that in any other medical discipline than heretofore in the history of Podiatric Medicine You have an eminent right to be proud of your achievements in this regard and 1 am envious of the training you have received I wished for it as a student myself, but to no avail You arc truly fortunate. Though you have endured and accomplished much dunng the past four years, I still have sev eral personal requests to make of each of you. First, please let us know of your accomplishments. Second, never hesitate to call upon any of us if we can be of assistance in your future endeavors. Finally, go forth and make us proud! Congratulations on your accomplishments and best wishes for success in your personal and professional lives. Samuel J. Spadone. D.P.M.
