Q'.ii -as V if fy ' 'O HE SC U PE f' - Y, . . ' 1f.5,'in WI- ., To the Class of 1931: O YOU who are about to go forth from the University of Penn- 'K sylvania as graduates of its School of Medicine, the first school f .-'. Hi' of its kind established in this country, I wish to extend my most ,gifts-ff sincere wishes for your future happiness and success. q f' You are to be congratulated in the first place upon the success- ful completion of your courses of study in the University, a task which required of you constant application to your work in order I ' that you might meet the high academic standards exacted of students. But you are to be congratulated even more, I believe, on the I ,fi U: fact that the profession for which you have chosen to prepare your- selves is one that is unexcelled for the opportunities which it offers Q for real service to humanity. 'iii The years which you have spent as students in the School of 'git Medicine cannot have failed to make you familiar with the glorious history of the school since its establishment 166 years ago and with ' :Tiff its many magnificent traditions. ' Throughout the ages those traditions have been upheld by generation after generation of Pennsylvania graduates distinguished zigiuiwj mit merely by their ability and knowledge of their profession but Q by the zeal with which they have unselfishly devoted that ability and Effigq knowledge to the public welfare. li: Like those who have gone before, each one of you in the fgjg Class of 1931 will find unlimited opportunities for service along I thc path you follow, regardless of whether you engage in the active 5' practice of your profession, in medical research work, or in the I teaching of medicine. K I wish you all God-speed every step of the way. f I-55314314 E45g:i if 3 if-ip 9 .. ' J.'

Four joined you at the beginning of the Second Year and twenty-nine more at the beginning of the Third year. Thus there have been in your class one hundred and forty-four students. Only five have left the class for scholastic: deficiencies and five in good standing for other reasons. Presumably one hundred and thirty-four will graduate this Spring. Thus ninety-three per cent. of your class will successfully complete their course. This is a record of which to be proud and never equalled before in the history of the school. I congratulate you sincerely and hope you can keep up this good work. mad We .2-Z-9' . 31.33 5 I Ill -E f 1-. ,. ,. . .V 1. A - 215 if J 1. X .
