May 29, 1987 To the Members of the Class of 1987: On behalf of the faculty and staff of the University of Louisville School of Medicine, I would like to congratulate you on your recent graduation. Your scholastic achievements and service contribution to the University and our community have been outstanding. There is no doubt that you are well prepared to meet the challenges in your future professional endeavors. As you know, 1987 represents the Sesquicentennial of the School of Medicine. As the oldest continuous medical school west of the Allegheny Mountains, the University of Louisville has a strong heritage and rich tradition of medical excellence. For 150 years, the School has upheld the high standards and ideals set forth by its founders and has made a lasting contribution to medical education, health care and the advancement of medical science. We are confident that the Class of 1987 will continue this tradition of excellence as you begin the practice of medicine. The School of Medicine has experienced significant changes over the past four years which have moved us toward greater academic achievement. We have recruited several new chairmen who have provided vigorous academic leadership and a sense of enthusiasm and momentum. An Associate Vice President for Research Services has been appointed to direct University-wide animal care activities and oversee the construction of a new animal care facility. Several Endowed Chairs have been established which will provide sustaining educational quality. Progress is being made which was very apparent during the recent LCME medical school accreditation visit in which we were accredited for a full five years. I want to express my personal appreciation to the Class of 1987 and your President, Don Metry. The level of cooperation demonstrated by Don and other class leaders has been exemplary, and it has been a pleasure to work with them. You have my best wishes as you enter the medical profession. I look forward to your continued participation and interest in medical school affairs as School of Medicine alumni. Donald’ R. Kmetz, M.D. . Dean, School of Medicine

June 5, 1987 Dear 1987 Graduates, I am honored to participate in this permanent souvenir of your medical education. I congratulate you and wish you well as you go forward to meet the challenge of becoming competent and humane physicians. The messages about caring for yourselves, your significant others, your colleagues, your health team members and soon your own patients that you were introduced to during Health Awareness Workshop now can be talismans to carry with you in your careers. I want to encourage you to be role models to your patients, avoid burn out, exercise your minds continuously, increase your general stamina and discover your creative abilities. Medicine is a prime example of a profession in which courageous and creative change constantly occurs. Dr. Rollo May reminds us: We all need courage, the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair. We need courage to make being and becoming possible; to make a commitment so that we become fully human. Man or woman becomes fully human only by his or her choices to make a commitment. All of you have made the strongest kind of commitment, not only to helping those in need, adding to your current medical knowledge and being a leader in organized medicine to share in shaping policy, especially for those unable to care for themselves, but also to ethical and moral responsibilities. Your commitment implies courage. Dr. May tells us, The most important kind of courage of all is creative courage, the discovering of new forms, new symbols, new patterns on which a new society can be built. In our day, technology has forced all professionals in all fields to change. Radically courageous persons therefore are required to appreciate and direct the changes ahead. The need for creative courage is in direct proportion to the degree of change a profession is undergoing. As you begin yet another transition toward your wonderful goal of becoming courageous and humane physicians, we faculty members welcome you to join us in experiencing and influencing the ongoing changes in the marvelous practice of medicine. Please keep in touch with us and seek inspiration and satisfaction in active participation in the Fine Arts. Have many good days! Leah Ducissitied nism aDie Associate Dean for Student Affairs
