CONGRATULATIONS

I am pleased to send my warm greetings to the students, faculty, and alumni of the School of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania as you celebrate the centennial of your distinguished institution.

The founding of your school one hundred years ago was a noble response by a private university to a critical need of our country. At a time when our growing urban population was overtaxing traditional local food supplies and demanding both qualitative and quantitative increases in food production, your university recognized the necessity of applying the methods of medical science to the raising and care of livestock. Since fhat time, the School of Veterinary Medicine has remained at the fore-

stillprovide 80%oftheworlddraftpower.despite the advancesindesignoftheinternalcombustion engineand of electrical power.To the peasant farmerin so manycountries,the draftanimalis criticalforfamilysurvival. Should the animalgo sick or die,thendisasterfacesthatfamily.The veterinarian is anessentialperson inasocietyso precariously balancedbetweensurvivaland calamity.

t is a special pleasure for me tojoin with you and. on behalf ofthe University, to salute the School ofVeterinary Medicine-its alumni. faculty, students, staff, benefactors, friends. and. most particularly, its dean-for a past ofgreat accomplishments and a future that sparkles with optimism.

A hundred years ago, no one could have predicted the strength ofthe School today and its extraordinary success. Even in an era of cautious conservatism. the UnhersityTrusteescertainly hedged their bets in blessing the start of veterinary medicine at Penn. They approved less than $17,000 for a building and only $350 to furmsh it.

The years that followed were, to understate the matter, difficult ones. As many ofyou know, veterinary medicine was housed for a rime in an old building on Woodland Avenue that apparently was inadequate for its intended use as a trolley-car bam. Evenwhen the School moved into another facility in 1907 it bad to include in a smaU two-story building operating rooms for large animals, a pharmacy. eleven single, and five box stalls. a stable for the livestock sanitary board, a room for dispensary service, dissecting room, a postmortem room, lecture hall for seventy people-all that on the first floor-with rooms for dogs, student study. a kitchen, storeroom. bone room, feed room. and three wards on the second floor. Whenever Bob Marshak complains to Tom Langfitt or me, l like to remind Bob of those golden days on the frontier of veterinary medicine.

How did it happen, in spite ofthose horrendous hurdles. that this School became what it is today-the best in the world? The key was. and certainly still is, leadership. Then. as now. the School was led by remarkable individuals. The first was Rush Shippen Huidekoper, the founding dean, described as a man of..magnificent physical proportions" whose forebears included Dr. Benjamin Rush, t.he great physician, and Edward Shippen. the first mayor of Philadelphia. What a fellow Huidekoper must have been. He fought with tenacity to build the School, apparently dipping into his own pocket to help with the finances. His extra-professional life was at least as interesting. Many of you have seen those famous photographs by Eadweard Muybridge-a series ofstill photographs ofanimals that were rapidly projected on a machine to give the illusion of motion-the forerunner ofthe movie projector. If you look at the exhibit currently in the Museum you can see pictures of the good Dean Huidekoper. completely nude. riding his favorite horse, Pandora.

Auidekoper seems to have been in perpetual motion. and that quality, if not a prerequisite for the decanal role over the last century. is certainly epitomized by our current dean, Bob Marshak. Time and time again over the past three years., as we have worked together, 1 have seen a looming rock. a mountainous hard place. and the School-piloted by Bob-seeking to slip between. Time and time again-usually with Tom Langfitt, in an effort to outnumber Bob-we would press to halt, regroup. be cautious. and all the rest of the litany that university administrators are paid to provide. Make no mistake, we always meant it Occasionally, our cautions prove right. and occasionally Bob even admi� that. More often, however. he finds a way to maneuver between that rock and hard place and emerge triumphant. Do )OU kno\\ that little verse by Ogden Nash about the turtle?

The turtle lives 'twixt plated decks wtuch practicallyconceal its sex. I think it clever ofthe turtle in such a fix to be so fertile.

Time and again, in seemingly impossible fixes, Bob's fertile mind has found a way to propel the momentum of this extraordinary institution.

In the years ahead. ofcourse, differences will continue to arise. The University administration is committed to doing ali we can to help maintain and enhance the fmest School of Veterinary Medicine. Sometimes, as in the past, our different perspectives will no doubt lead to problems about orne of the scores ofissues on which we work together. Every once in a while. howe\er, it is worth stepping back from that seemingly unending series of particular problems-however serious they may seem at the time-and glance at the larger scene. And in terms of that scene, the School and it dean are magnificent.

An 18th century Hasidic line I likeparticularly at this season-goes like this. "Just as the hand. held before theeye, can hide the tallest mountain. so the routine ofeveryday life can keep us from seeing the vast radiance and secret wonders that fLU the world...

The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine is hardly a secret, but it is a wonder. Tonight as we step back (rom the routine ofeveryday life for this special moment ofcelebration, I salute all of you who have helped in.so many ways to build that wonder, and, most particularly, 1 salute our dean, Bob Marshak.
