DEDICATION Z. J. B. SCHOEN on., Dos., Ph.D. Z. john Bruce Schoen was born in Buffalo, New Yorlc,lV1ay 16, 1909. His father was an Optometrist who had one of the largest professional practices in the state. Doctor Schoen graduated from Ohio State in 1932, and continued his studies at the University of Buffalo to receive an lv1.A. in psychology in 1934. A Dupont Research Fellowship at the University led to a PhD. in psychology in 1937. He received honorary DOS. degrees from Monroe College of Science in Toronto, Canada, in 1933, Northern lllinois College of Optometry in 1936, and Chicago College of Optometry in 1951. He had a private practice in Buffalo, New Yorlc from 1932 to 1946, in which he specialized in child relractions and problem cases. From 1946 to 1949 he was associate director ol the general and night vision facility at the United States Naval Medical Research Laboratory in New London, Connecticut, where he was superintendent of the eye Clinic at the Naval hospital and did a visual survey of the per- sonnel at the submarine base. ln 1949 he became co-chairman of the Optometry department and director of the division of graduate studies at Chicago College of Optometry. He has done considerable research on ocular dominance, night vision, depth of focus of the eye, and sell-induced ocular pain. ln 1936 he was cited by the American journal of Qptometry as the originator of the chronometric technique for measurement of ocular imbalances. He turned down offers to establishaiV1yopia Control Clinic at Annapolis, and other research projects, to come to Chicago College of Optometry for the specific purpose of teaching. He was at one time offered the directorship of the Ohio State Optometry School, but during that phase of his career con- sidered it more important to continue his practice than to go into academic life. He belongs to Epsilon Psi Epsilon Fraternity at Ohio State and is a life member of Mu Sigma Pi and Tomb and Key. . . . . 4 Lrrsrcrry .

From the PRESIDENT MORTON L. ABRAM L.L.B., D.O.S. To the graduates of June, 1953, I extend warmest congratulations upon this happy occasion. You have successfully completed your formal optometric education, and are well onthe way to achieving the goals for which you have been preparing these past years. I have faith that each of you WILL achieve these goals. As you leave CCG., remember that you take with you our best wishes fora future that is replete with happiness and success. We at the college stand ready and willing to assist you in any way that we can. Although you are leaving college, do not forget that optometry is a profession that lends itself to further study. Keep abreast of new developments. By being aware of new trends, you are furthering Icnowledge of the profession to others as well as to yourself. Optometry is continually delving into new fields of visual care. Programs of research are being con- ducted in child vision, motorist or highway vision, industrial vision, telescopic lenses for the near blind, and contact lenses. Yet, most important of all, it is the future of the profession itself with which you must be concerned. It remains for YOU to spread the word-to use every available medium and opportunity to disseminate information to the general public about your profession. Talte advantage of every opportunity that comes your way. Talk about latest strides in child vision and school programs, about motorist or highway vision and improved street lighting, about industrial vision and the widespread use of safety lenses. Discuss contact lenses and telescopic spectacles for the near blind. Let the public Icnow that optometry has been the actor, director, and producer in these performances, that optometry has been behind the scenes in every one of these accomplishments! So much can be clone to publicize the field. The challenge is yours, take hold of it, study it, what can you do with it? The ball is in your hands now, Doctorl I'Iow fast, and how far can you travel with it? Good Luck! O
