Anatomy Anatomy is a combined lecture and laboratory course in the structural, func- tional and developmental aspects of the human body. The subject matter is illustrated and explained with the aid of diagrams, charts, osteological speci- mens and models. Actual dissection is preceded by special lectures and demonstrations by Dr. Nilsson. The dissection is divided into the following parts: thorax, abdomen, pelvis, and perineum: head and neckg the upper extremity: the lower extremity. The class is divided into small dissecting groups in order that each student may have the fullest opportunity for individual dissection. Myology Myology, the study of muscles, bears a close relationship to chiro- practic practice in as much as it is the mus- cle tone, or degree of tensiveness, which is partly responsible for maintaining the osseous structures in their nor- mal alignment and re- lationship. One-sided muscle stress may re- sult in occupational di- seases. it-'Z-.Hi 11 N DR. ARTHUR V. NILSSON Oste olo y A Embryology Embryology, or De- velopmental Anatomy, traces the development of the fertilized ova to its expulsion as afull- term fetus. Anatomy chairman Dr. Arthur V. Nilsson' s interesting lectures, plus' his ex- cellent drawings, coin- cide to allow the stu- dent a comprehensive view of the subject, which admittedly is dif- ficult to grasp from text book material a- lone. The study of bones is the freshman's forte. Following Dr. Nilsson's lectures, the folks at home better learn it's ilium, not hip bone: phalange, not fingerg scapula, not back bone. Syndesmology, the study of ligaments, and physics are other components of the chiropractic manipulative triad. 20

Chemistry The study of chemistry is divided into its branches of inorganic and organic, which deals with carbon and its compotmds. The course of Chemistry consists of classroom lectures by Dr. George H. Haynes, chairman and Dr. Ralph Pressman. The role of chemistry is important in a physi- cian's training, especially the reactions of acids, bases and salts. Test tube experiments with metals and non-metals simulate reactions pecu- liar to human tissues, thereby formulating the principles which will be followed throughout the physician's lifetime of service. DR. RALPH PRESSMAN Bio-Chemistry Bio-chemistry, or physiologic chemistry, deals primarily with foods, vitamins, minerals and en- zymes and their reactions within the body. The subject presents the most exciting future within the realm of healing. The class consists of lectures, recitations and laboratory work which is directed by Dr. George H. Haynes, Chairman of the Department of Chemistry and Nutrition, and Dr. Joseph M. Konrad, Associate.

Orthopedics Orthopedics is the comprehensive and concentrated study of the causative factors which contribute or predispose to variations in the bones of the human body. These factors may be congenital deformities, metabolic, nutritive, sys- temic diseases or compensatory for postural and struc- tural laxness. Particular emphasis is placed on postural integrity of the spinal column and the extremities which include the nutritional demands for the physiological well-being of the skeletal system. This course is presented by Dr. Martin L. Henn in a most unusually fascinating and informative manner. THANK YOU, Dr. Henn. DR. MARTIN L. HENN t Neurolo y DR WOLF ADLER Dr. Ad1er's Neurology class in session, To succeed as a chiropractor one must become a spe- cialist in the study of the nervous system, which includes the cranial and peripheral nerves, the 'central nervous system, and the autonomic system with its sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. To ensure students of gaining a comprehensive understanding of the inexhaustive and complex material, the college has assigned the subject to two of its most outstanding instructors, Dr. J. Gordon Anderson and Dr. Wolf Adler. i. I 1 DR. J. GORDON ANDERSON V l A
