PROFESSOR OF EXCELLENCE

ROBERT B. BENYO, M.D.

The Professor of Excellence Award is determined by a
popular vote of the Senior Class student body. The students
voted for that instructor who they felt made the greatest
contribution to their education.

The spotlight this year centers on a professor of unusually
high achievement and excellence. Robert B. Benyo, M.D. is
unsurpassed in his prowess as a lecturer and educator. "Cer-
tainly we can all appreciate" the fine example Dr. Benyo has
provided in his instruction, his fashion, and his attitude.

Dr. Benyo was a consistently well prepared, polished, and
enthusiastic lecturer who made the learning process that
much more comprehensible. We learned and well remember
the "Trans-Continental journey" and the "turbulence" we all
experienced in mid-December.
