Dedication Dr. Stuart came to Morgantown in 1960. He received his bachelor of science degree from the State Teachers College, West Ches- ter, Pennsylvania, his master of arts degree from Temple University, his doctor of philos- ophy degree from the University of Pennsyl- vania, and his doctor of medicine degree from Duke University. He has instructed at Temple University and Drexel Institute, done post- doctoral work under a grant from the National Cancer Institute, and was a member of the Pathology Department of the University of Virginia. He has also received training in neuropathology at the National Institute for Neurological Diseases and Blindness. Dr. Stuart has been the faculty-student liaison since assuming the post of Assistant Dean, a job filled with many difficulties. His warmth, keen sense of humor, and genuine in- terest in the students are attributes which have helped him to do this job well. This dedica- tion, then, is made not because of the position of the man, but because of the man in the position, who has proved to be someone spe- cial. It is with great pride and pleasure that we, the class of 1964, dedicate this edition of the Pylon to our teacher and friend, Dr. Ed- ward Stuart. Dr. Edward Stuart

MEMBERS OF THE WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1964: It is a privilege to have this opportunity to recognize the graduating seniors. Each of you has, in truth, earned distinction. For the past twenty years you have been subjects of a continuous process of academic se- lection. You have justified the confidence placed in you by your families, associates and former teachers. You have met the high standards of performance set for you by the faculty of the School of Medicine. That faculty has recommended to the Board of Governors of West Virginia University that you each be granted the degree of MJ3. Traditional ceremony in granting academic degrees mentions rights, honors, and privileges conferred by the degree. I would take this occasion to remind you of a few of the many responsi- bilities conferred simultaneously. Now more than ever before In your life the decision Is yours, individually, as to whether you will continue the diligent pursuit of new knowledge or whether you will adopt some less ex- acting mode of life. The worth of a profession is judged by the work of its individual members. The value of an educational in- stitution is judged by the work of its alumni. Such considerations as these impose upon each of you the obliga- tion to perform consistently to the best of your ability, to remain aware of your own limitations, and to so order your life as to make those physicians who will follow you wish to be known as your successors.
