1 7 nf, A CASE REPQRT GN Tl-TE FIVE YEAR PRCGRAM Case f'listory: As the world around us progresses, so the profession of Qptometry seeks to improve the education and curriculum of its future practitioners. With the birth of the first five year group at Chicago, Qptometry has taken a bold step in furthering its aim for an honored and respected Dosition among the other professions of our time. With such an increased background and the addition of new courses, we now see ourselves as new benefactors to society. Qur struggle is an uphill one, but we will succeed. Visual Acuity: A healthy and anticipating outlook to the future. External Examination: The patient, at first, seemed nervous and lonely because of his unfamiliarity with Chicago and the long and arduous road ahead. The chief complaint seemed to be the paucity of apartments, the high price of food and the scarcity of jobs. The patient has lived in most of the forty-eight states as well as l-lawaii. The patient has had at least two years of previous college and had contemplated making this visit for a long time. Ratients appearance was clean cut and personality very pleasant. Preliminary Examination: Dominancy Test: 58 males and one female Reflexes: Sluggish during the week but revitalized on week-ends. Red Glass Test: Appearance of eyes on Monday morning. Diversions and Excursions: Ereguent trips south to Calumet City. No. Tfsubjectivez OD. fgoph. ID OS. fsoph. IID President W. l-loward R. Meek Vice-President: R. Levinson Belser Secretary: S.

As the year progressed, friendships were made and unity was furthered by organization of class basketball teams and other class activities. The climax was the Soph dance held on April Q9th. No. 19iAccommodation: Some of us started out by living at the dorms. The lucky ones found apartments or shared a room in a private home. We soon realized prices were higher than we had anticipated, but as we learned our way about, more reasonable accommodations were discovered. Final Disposition: Recommend the removal of rose-colored glasses and substitute instead perserverance and hard work to prepare the five year students for optometry. Thus can their future be realized: :the better! ment of humanity through Qptometry. 65
