To the Class of1925: of the University Medical School, Greetings : Two great objects for which a School of Medicine exists are, First, the imparting to its students of such knowledge, theoretical and practical, as will enable them to enter upon the service of the community as physicians and surgeonsg Second, to inspire in them such a love of knowledge as will cause them to recognize that what we know is only a small part of what we may know, and that research in the field of medicine, particularly, is one of the most certain means of adding to the comfort and well-being of the race. The University Medical School accomplishes both these purposes, and the Class of 1925 have had imparted to them both information and inspiration. It is not every one that is qualilied to become a researcher, and many re- searchers would not necessarily succeed in the practice of the profession. flfhe particular field in which a graduate of the Medical School will work is determined largely by personal qualities, and by opportunities that open. .To be a graduate of the Medical School of the University of Pennsyl- vania is in itself a great distinction, not only because of the long and honor- able history and traditions, which lie back of the Medical School of the present, but because the thoroughness of the course, the ability of the Faculty, and the limitation in the number of students admitted, makes it practically impossible for one, who is not fitted to pursue medicine as a profession, to graduate from the University of Pennsylvania School. I congratulate you members of the Class of 1925 upon having completed the first stage of your journey. You are now in a position to pursue either the practice of medicine or research in the medical field, and every succeeding year spent in either practice or in research should greatly increase your powers. You have become members of a great distinguished company who, like you, have had the University of Pennsylvania as their Alma Mater. That your ambition will be high as a result of such a distinguished and inspiring lineage will, I am sure, lead to yet further triumphs as a class and as individuals. I wish you Godspeed with every hope for your future. MMU-F i
