J. Millard Tawes Governor. Stale of Maryland To the Graduates of the Schools of Medicine and Nursing: Congratulations to the graduates of 1 959! Ours is a great age of study and research and of successful discoveries in the allevia- tion and cure of human ills. Never were our medical men and women more devoted to the understanding and practicing of their professions. We already see the results in new attacks against old diseases, and the horizon is bright with new hopes — new faith in the skills and learning which God gives those who choose the life of devotion to the healing arts. This faith that is vested in you by your fellow citizens should be a source of great satisfaction and a real inspiration for the tasks that await you. Sincerely, , C,r l::pC- GOVERNOR
