THE N. T. C. FOCUS June 1931 TliillilibliSilk!'Tl'LIFT!lkliillilliliilliili-liiflillIiliilliliilfilliflliliilliliitii-Iii!I Greetings from President Needles NOTH ER year has rolled around and with its passing 1 comes again the opportunity to address a special message to our student body through the medium of the Year Book. My thought is especially centered upon the members of the Senior Class. This is your publication and l wish to commend you for its excellence. lt reflects the high scholarship which you, as a group, have displayed through- out your college career. l am sure therefore that your pride in this achievement is equal to my own. We all expect much of you Seniors. You are going out better trained, as a class, than any who have preceded you. The sacredness of the trust which is about to be re- posed in you, demands that you enter your chosen held with humility and a clear recognition of your responsibility. l have every confidence in your intention to so practice your profession, that the vision of the people may be safeguarded and extended. There can be no more worthy service. The eyes of our alumni are upon you. lt is your privi- lege to arouse in them a deep sense of pride and an 1n- creased faith in Optometry. The eyes of the under classmen are upon you. May you continue to stir their ambition and inspire them by your example. The eyes of the oflicers and faculty of your College are upon you. They know your true worth and they are happy to commend you. May you fulhll their highest expecta- tions. The eyes of Optometry are upon you. So practice that the profession may approve and may have increased confi- dence in you and your Alma Mater. But more than all these,-The eyes of the world are upon you: the world of suffering, hindered, half-blind folk, whose future, perhaps, rests with you: Serve them in that skillful manner of which we know you are capable and with that high sense of honor which becomes a true profes- sional. Thus shall you know those peculiar rewards which make for the highest measure of success and happiness. WlLLIAlNftI B.

Occhiena's Message HE present issue of The QlFocus is an example of what can be accomplished by efficient leader- ship and unselhsh cooperation: and in making my contribution to this issue fl' cannot do better than to point out and to emphasize the important part that these attributes have played and will continue to play in the development of Optometry in general and of Northern Illinois College in particular. Life is evolution and all evolutionary processes are slow and tedious. All phases of endeavor, being expressions of Life, will of necessity be slow in de- velopment: and we who are too prone to demand speed, and more speed, in our work often lose sight of this inevitable gradualness of growth. To accomplish anything worth while we must possess the necessary knowledge of' underlying principles and have faith in the outcome however distant in time it may appear to be. To reach our goal we need intelligent leadership and unswerving cooperation. The history of Northern Illinois College is a con- crete example of what can be created by farsighted leaders, backed by cooperating followers: both con- tent to work and possess their souls in patience until the process of evolution shall reach fruition. For al- most twenty years l have watched Northern Illinois College grow from the hmnblest beginnings to what it is today. livery entering class has seen some im- provement over the previous term, however slight that improvement may have been. An extra course. an ad- ditional teacher, or an enlarged clinic gave evidence of leaders keeping abreast of the times: and the im- provement each succeeding graduating class showed over its predecessor evidenced the loyalty, devotion and unseltish cooperation which the students were giving their Alma Mater. This way lies progress for our profession and success for every graduate. So to each graduate and undergraduate. I make my appeal. Study faithfully to learn the lessons your instructors have to teach, and leave the guidance of the destinies of the College to older and wiser men. Be diligent in your work, unswerving in your cooper- ation and loyal to your Alma Mater and your Alma Mater, in turn, will be loyal to you. E. OCCH IRNA. , EDIT I. V. E. LENNoN, Editor jlitffl'1N MAHN PAUL Ltfi1nEivmN lAcK RYAN .lit.bllN XVixLi.AeE CR profession is in a period of transition. Slowly but surely the time-worn and shop-worn prac- tices and traditions of yesteryear are being passed into discard and the New Optometry is forging to the front. VVe, the graduating class of Northern Illinois Col- lege, feel that we are entering into the Profession better equipped and better prepared than were any of our predecessors. Imp-roved curricula, higher schol- astic standards, a superior faculty, and a modernly equipped clinic fit us for a true conception of our chosen Profession and in the years to come will be reflected in a higher standard and quality of Uptom- etry. We trust that there will be no subsidence in the movement toward legislation in various states throughout the country-such as New York and Min- ORI nesota-which is properly curtailing practices that are inimical to the welfare of the general public. It is the duty of every graduate, throughout his coming career, to so conduct himself that his profes- sional deportment and practice shall be impeccable in order that others may find it wise, profitable and con- ducive to their happiness to emulate his example. It can truly be said that there is no real compe- tition in any lf'rofession. lfach Optometrist must' real- ize that he is performing a real service to society by improving vision. There should be a markedly indi- vidualistic touch in the treatment of each patient in order that the diagnosis and the prognosis will offer tangible clues to the final disposition. The fee assessed must be in keeping with the services rendered and with the established customs among professions treating human ills and abnormalities, avoiding liotli nominal fees and fees that are so unwarrantedly high as to bring discredit upon colleagues. .X practitioner should always reserve the privilege of obeying chari- table impulses under deserved conditions. 0 it Ofbfiili Dedication To the members of the Northern Illinois College Faculty, Whose chief inter- ests in Life have been to help other people and to further the Profession of Optometry, We respectfully and admiringly dedicate this volume.

Render the public the best service within us and con- stantly strive to improve that service. 2. Conduct ourselves in a manner becoming to profes- sional men. Qi. Aid worthy civic movements, and be considerate of fellow practitioners. -t. To meet and study at frequent intervals with other optometrists to keep abreast of the best practices in optom- gtryg and to aid and consult with fellow practitioners when requested. 5. To make examination of the eyes the paramount fea- ture, not the sale of glasses. fl. To impress upon the public the importance of careful and correct ocular service. T. To equip our offices with the latest and best instru- ments. 8. To discontinue the sale of merchandise which has no place in optometry. El. To limit our publicity to ffl Conservation of vision. f2l Optometrical service. 10. To charge for, and to collect, a reasonable fee for eye examinations. 11. To charge a fee openly, both by verbal statement and upon the bill, not concealing said fee within thetcost. thereby giving the patron reason to believe that service is rendered free. 12. Vyle consider that optometry may be best presented to the public through organized effort, rather than individual. To this end we will endeavor at proper times and in proper places to preach the conservation of vision, and to teach meth- ods whereby this may be obtained. 115. tive ljgligve that organized optometry can best be served by group publicity, as also by magazine and newspaper articles in which the author does not seek to present his own personality. H. Vile believe that newspaper card is the correct way uf presenting ourselves in the press in a direct advertising sense. ' 15. XVe agree to discontinue the use of handbills, bill- board advertising, billposter advertising, large painted signs on buildings, all types of novelties, stickers of all kinds, except inside of casesg blotters, manufacturer's literature, freely dis- tributed: streetcar advertising, theatre program, theatre cur- tain, lantern slides, and signs reading, Eyes Examined for tested! Free. 113. Not to advertise the prices of lenses, frames or sup- plies. H. 'llo discontinue window advertising, except in dig- nified and legitimate manner. lu. 'lio discontinue and remove from refracting rooms, waiting rooms and other public rooms of our business places. slillls of manufacturers relating to supplies. To discontinue advertising articles or supplies as better or in anv WHY superior in duality for the price asked, to that of other optom- elrisls or refractionists. ltr. 'llo discontinue publicly advertising lJl1slllCss ability gi, superior to that of others: reliability as superior to that ot others: professional ability as superior to others. 20. 'Vo discontinue methods tif practice which are mani- festly unfair by those recognized practices of the bublic within which we dwell. 21. VVhere others who are doing refracting work are unethical and resort to unfair and unethical means, we are not to retaliate until we have sought by all reasonable means to win them from errant methods, to interview them person- ally, or by letter, or by friends, or by judicious printed matter, publicly proclaimed and in terms which will in no way lower our own dignity, seeking thereby to elevate their own stand- ard of procedure and win them to our side by justice. 22. VVhen others practice optometry and they are mani- festly unqualified for the work. We are to seek them person- ally by letter and by other just means seeking to elevate their moral tone, their educational status, their equipment or their other deficiencies endeavoring to bring them to a higher and proper level. VVhen other means have failed, we should bring them to the attention of higher authority. 23. VVhen there is a difference of opinion with respect to ethical and non-ethical practices, customs or behavior, we should seek to bring about a meeting of all those engaged in optometry and have a dignified discussion, endeavoring to establish rules of practice. 24. It is unprofessional and prohibited to split fees, pay bonuses or offer, or to receive any pecuniary benefits from others who may at various times refer patrons. 25. lt is unprofessional and prohibited to enter into mail- order advertising of eye-glass service. 215. It is unprofessional to seek out patrons by bribes, through discounts, or other profit-sharing means, through friends. relatives, or patrons. 27. lt is unprofessional to seek patronage by solicitous means, personal or through others. 28. It is unprofessional and unethical to promise cures, relief or benefit from lenses, or from treatment, or by other means than that one will do as well as lies within his power to correct and neutralize the errors of refraction and muscular anomalies, with the hope but not with the assurance of benefit or relief. 29. lt is unprofessional and unethical to undertake prac- tices under a name of a company or organization in which the principal member or members of the organization are not actively engaged in the actual practice of refraction. 30. It is unprofessional to conduct an optometric prac- tice in which the name or names of the principal men are not named publicly in their printed matter upon doorplates, and other similar announcements. 31. lt is unprofessional and unethical to travel from town to town, putting up in hotels and houses and doing retraction work without proper equipment and lighting facilities. 232. It is unprofessional and unethical to use lowgrade lenses or lenses of a pattern which are not as properly de- signed and adapted to the correction of the errors of vision as are possible to obtain, basing the price of service and such supplies upon their cheapness, unless it is patent that the patron cannot afford to purchase the higher grade and per- fected lenses. and in all such cases the factors should be carefully explained. K 1321. It is unprofessional for an optometrist who holds an office in any optometric association to use such position for advertising purposes. It-f. lt is unprofessional and unethical for an optometrist to make use ot his diplomas and certificates in such a way as to be considered advertisements. 35. No member should advertise in a way which would lead to the supposition that he had a medical training unless he has such training. 36. lt is unethical and forbidden to keep open office or place of business on national holidays, state holidays or Sun- days. This refers to the regular manner of keeping open but not to responding to an emergency for a particular case. ,lfiiiiliilliiiiliilliiiiiihililiillhiI'iiIiliilliiiillhlliifhliiililWilliliiiiiliili'QCYSUlit!iiiilliiIillilliliiiiiliilliliiliiliil J une . . . - ' 7 1931 THE N I C FOCUS H -nu-ssliuninninxinns nns,u-sn-xnsnnssu-xnrxnxnnxu-xanin n-xo-xnrs: nxnnxnvxu nsnsuiu nissan-su minivan rx- ninxn n in miami rxn wsu ui- 'suis CLASS VVALLACE President FAHRBACH CYLYNINIINGS BQIHNE Treasurer Secretary Vice-President W N -W 4 AY Wx' W f 'U .

U.. resulted in an exceptionally successful season. After completing the regular season of games, the team competed in the Commercial League Upen Tournament at Homewood, where it made an excep- tional showing. The season opened with the playing of the Illi- nois College of Chiropody, of score being 37 to 17 in the favor of the Eyemen. Games continued to be played until the Christ- mas holidays, N. I. C. defeating such teams as the St. James Robins, runner up in the Chicago Church League Tournament, Illinois College of Dentistry, which lost their only games of the season at the hands of N. 1. C. After the holidays, the N. I. C. basketeers re- sumed activities by entering the South Side Church League, in which they made a very successful showing. g Much is to be said concerning the individual players of the team. Although the team consisted mostly of June graduates, that does not alter the fact that next season's team will not be inferior to the former teams, as many of the new members of N. I. C. are prospective of becoming well-developed basketeers. It is only fitting that we say a word concerning the outstanding abilities of the individual players: Captain Murphy: A man with a real head is Charley, both in and out of the game. His posi- tion at guard will leave a big gap in the team when he says adieu in June. A feeling of confidence was always there with Murph in the game. Good luck. Murph Elson: N. I. C. will always remember Dale for his ability at tossing the sphere into the hoop from the most inconceivable positions and at the most critical moments. His iieetness cannot be surpassed by anyone. Dale goes in -lune and so does a real forward and a great fellow. Put 'er there, Dalel Smith: At the sound of the whistle, Smitty is the first to tap the ball. The big six-footer is in the game from the second it starts until the gun goes off at the end-always in the place most needed. Smitty also goes in June, and to him also we ex- tend our sincere hope of success. Farbach: Bricks was the most clever of guards. Very few points were made by his opponent when he was guarding. It will be hard to lill his guard position when he leaves, but. nevertheless, lots of luck, Bricks ! Peterson: Pete will be the only regular left. His standard will be much needed to keep the new team together. His forward position will be a great asset. as it has always been in the past. Let's all help Pete in bringing together a great team next year. Honorable mention must also be given to the other members of the team graduating in june and also to those who will form the Regulars next sea- son. Blomstrom and Sponsel are among the men leaving in June. Those remaining for the next year are: Gewe, Gelnick, Soland. McCracken. King and Manager Kerker. Prof. Occhiena is to be honored for his work in helping to make the sport a success at N. l. C. Only through his aid was it made possible that the team has been convenienced in every way.

HE Alpha chapter of the Pi Kappa Rho Sorority was organized at the Northern College of Optometry in 1928. It was composed of five members whose sole aim was for the betterment of Optometry as a womans profession and to promote ,social activities in the school. Since that time, the organization has grown, and plans are being made to make it a national professional sorority. The new girls were welcomed with a tea given September 25, 1930, at the Y. VV. C. A. on Drexel Boulevard, at which time that they met the members of the sorority, faculty adviser and sorority mother, Mrs. E. E. Occhiena. Bridge was the chief diversion of the afternoon, and prizes were given for high and low score. Following this event, on October 2, the girls in- dulged in a bit of Chinese food in the form of a chop suey dinner at the Canton Tea Gardens, followed by a theatre party. Thinking a bit of the male sex would add zest to the social events, the girls were hostesses to the male of the species at a dinner dance given at the Hotel LaSalle on Octo- ber 31, 1931, and to the strains of Husk O'Hare's band quite a romantic evening was spent. Events followed, plans were laid, meetings held, and behind dark doors strange whisper- ing about the initiation of the new girls, and on November 4, 1931, a very important meeting was held at the home of Miss Mirian Walker, University Avenue, and bids were given to the lucky girls who had won the favor of the sorority members, Then followed the gruesome pledge period, and remains, as it does in the life of every pledge, a memory of torture Nl and still seemingly, somehow, much fun. Although HELL DAY was met with much disapproval with the pledges, it was anticipated, and exceeded the expectation of the members of the clan. But, going through it all with the spirit of old Trojans, Initiation Day dawned bright and, as the day waned, evening came tas evening willl, and on the night of Novem- ber 15, 1920, the usual, and unusualities, of initiations were comlplied with, and so? VVell, the new members of thc sorority are: Miss Natalie Meier, who hails from Minnesota: Miss Wiiiifrecl Schoenborn, one of Chicago's own born: Miss Dorothy DuVall, a quaint miss from lvlichigan: Miss :Xrdis Ruth McCracken, a native of Chicago, and Miss Helen tioet- schel, the belle of Louisiana. Mighty proud of them! February 5 brought the semester to a close, and at that time new officers for the following semester were elected, which resulted as follows: President, Miss Natalie Meier? vice president, Miss X Vi1iif1'ecl Schoenborng secretary-treasurer, Miss Ruth McCracken: chaplain, Miss Helen Goetschel. On February 17 Mrs. E, li. Occhiena, the sorority mother, was hostess at her famous spaghetti dinner. and followed a meeting and plans were laid for a dinner dance, which was given liri- day, March the Thirteenthll, at the Music Box Cafe on Cot- tage Grove Avenue. Despite the date and the awful uncer- tainty of what the unlucky thirteen might bring, jollity reigned. L S GEOGFN L W LENZ I-'C 2 . Qlllfgq i815 FN FHTHEUN .J TASKEQ Q I iq N a I Agnew!

URING the years of Optometry's growth into pro- :..Ch. 1 i, fessional status, Omega Delta sounded the note I f' i 12,1 6 c ried its members out into practice as worthy examples of those ideals which have animated our leaders in the graduate ranks and which ideals constitute the sovereign appeal of membership in the fraternity. But the need for Omega Delta is not fully met. So long as there are groups of students preparing for their life vocation of Optometry. just so long will there be the need for the emphasis for which we stand. Omega Delta fliraternity was founded in May, l9l7, at Northern Illinois College by a small group of post-graduate students who were actuated by common ideals of professionalism and the desire to create a forum for discussion of mutual problems. This original group flourished so successfully that news of their success spread to the other colleges throughout the country where Optometry was being taught. It followed that similar groups sprang up and sought to affiliate themselves with the original group. The original group then became known as the Mother chapter or Alpha chap- ter and the others as Gamma, Epsilon, Zeta, etc. A slow but steady growth ensued until now Omega Delta fraternity is the largest optoinetric fraternity in the world. as well as the oldest. Its ramifications are found wherever Optometry is taught. Omega Delta alumni are now found in every state of the Union and on every Optometric state board. Close contact exists between the alumni and the activities at the various colleges, by means of the General Alumni Association. A Homecoming and Alumni Reunion is a regular event annually, occurring the first Sunday in the month of May. The Saturday night preceding is given over to a dance and frolic especially for the Alumni, thus enabling them to plan on spending that weekend in Chicago. The objectives of the fraternity are two-fold: first, to be professional, and second, to be social. Omega Delta has always attempted to emphasize the necessity for a truly ethical Optometric Profession. To inculcate such ideals Omega Delta includes a pro- fessional lecture and banquet every second or third Sunday. On these afternoons our Alumni are invited to come in and lecture to us on certain phases of this profession. There, first-hand information and prac- tical experience gained enable them to impart much valuable information to the new men coming up. At these Sunday afternoon banquets entertainment is regularly furnished to lend additional color to the occasion. Omega Delta entertains in a social way by means of dances, entertaimnents and smokers at reg- of higher voluntary standards in the undergraduate body, by inviting men of similar ideals to organize and pledge themselves to the principles of professionalism. Omega Delta has nurtured the inspiration that has car- ular intervals. These functions are laid out a semes- ter in advance by means of an ofiicial calendar which is distributed to all the actives and such Alumni as are close enough to Chicago to be able to avail them- selves of this entertainment. The desired men who enter N. I. C. are rushed the first four weeks of school. pledged, then serve an eight weeks' pledgeship, which is followed by informal and formal initiation. Omega Delta has always favored the selective pledging of men, especially those with university training. Our present membership is largely made up of college men who represent all the principal uni- versities of the Middle Vifest. The observance of the policy of favoring men of university experience as prospective timber for Omega Delta makes it pos- sible for the fraternity to lead the activities, both cur- ricular and extra-curricular, at 'Northern Illinois Col- lege of Optometry and constantly raising the plane of Optometric professional ethics. It follows that men of university training make better citizens and bet- ter Optometrists and therefore augment the steadily growing prestige of Omega Delta. The Omega Delta House, located at 4531 Drexel Boulevard, provides ideal enviromnent for the propa- gation of the precepts of the fraternity and furnishes the locale of many of the chapter's social functions. The House, which is one of the many fine residences of I-lyde Park, includes an extensive Optometric library and complete Optometric practice office for the use of the members. is-nxususnsnnn-rx-ni-ns--ini'asus,-rx'ns-ns.-minuznuinninuxnuxnnsuinsni--1-uxnsuinsnasus-sinsax-vs..ni -s in 5 i 1 24 THE N I C FOCUS J 1931 . . . une, 'iiiillitlilihniiliiitiliilliliiliiiIitiifilbllhllillilUilliaIiiDSJVQIIH!iiiihiihliiliiiiiliilVillhlIiliilihiihiii S Y Q Q Yi fa nw . , 95,12 - '?f::--W . f f- .

Meetings. had been held throughout the previous year, but the ultimate dream of crystallization into a homogeneous unit was not completed until April, IQZUL .ln the mind of each charter member was the thought of helping to build a greater future for Uptometry by the application of the results of pro- found study which would be made possible by an ethical, fraternal relationship with other men who were seriously interested in the profession and all its possibilities. To this end the fraternity offered boundless opportunity for the discussion of Upto- metric and theoretic problems, for whole-hearted pro- fessional discussions can create many ideas in the thinking pate. Six of Americzfs outstanding' men in the pro- fession were elected to honorary membership during the first year and were conducted through the ritual. after which a banquet and general get-together was enjoyed. The men elected to honorary ranlc are: Dr. ,lames P. Southall, author of t'Mirrors, Prisnis. and l,enses. The Principles and Methods of tleo- metrical tilptiicsf' and other works. Dr. Southall is. at present, l-lead of the Physics department at Colums bia University. Dr. Charles lf.

Since 192-l the fra- ternity has grown to a commendable size with seventy- three active members and over five hundred passive members having passive chapters in Detroit, Michigan, Dayton, Ohio, and Chicago, Illinois. The present active members of the fraternity create a most cosmopolitan group because of the fact that many states are rep- resented, as follows: Alabama, California, Colorado. Florida, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Da- kota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode fsland, iNest Virginia, Texas and VVisconsin. LPHA CHAPTER was founded to create good fel- lowship and fraternal spirit regardless of race or creed: to elevate the ideals and ethics of Optometry as a profession: to raise educational standards and to facili- tate social activities. HE Phi Theta Cpsilon Fraternity House, 424-l Drexel Boulevard, is located in one of Chicago's most fashionable residential districts. The house faces east and overlooks a delightful section of central park- ing exactly two blocks from Northern Illinois College of Optometry. No location could be more ideal. There is an extensive side and rear yard, a spacious basement which will be supplied with various athletic equipment for recreational purposes, containing also a well equipped laundry room. On the first fioor one finds a reception hall, two adjacent lounging rooms, and a large dining room which will accommodate thirty men. Beyond the dining room are found the butler's pantry, the kitchen and the storage rooms. A large front room on the second fioor is used as a library and study hall. Com- fortable chairs and cases of books and magazines create the proper atmosphere for study. The remain- ing rooms on the second fioor and all of the rooms on the third fioor are used as study and sleeping rooms. Phi Theta Upsilon Fraternity members have ac- cess to a very complete optometric library containing professional books, charts and data, and valuable opti- cal instruments. A publisher friend and honorary member of the fraternity presents a copy of each new book pertaining to Optometry as soon as it comes from the press. In addition there are several hundred volumes of constructive reading matter and fiction as well as current magazines. EGULAR chapter meetings are held at the house every Monday evening at eight o'clock. After the routine business is transacted the members are privileged to listen to noted speakers of high stand- ing. This group of speakers is composed of profes- sional men in the fields of Optometry, Law, Medicine, Dentistry and Education. These lectures supplement the work at school thus broadening educational ex- ff Y if , .

Two smokers were given at the Hotel Sutherland and two at the Fraternity Clubroom at Drexel Manor. The first semester .Pledge Dinner Dance was held at the Club 'Roxy and the second at the tlreen tiables Hotel. Twenty-seven pledges were initiated the first semester at the Chicago Beach Hotel and after the ritual a banquet was given in honor of the new mem- bers. The second semester pledges, ten in number. were initiated at the fraternity house which ceremony ' was followed by a banquet. The final social event ul the year was a dance at the fraternity house in honor of the senior members. An orchestra composed of fraternity members has officiated at all social events.

Northern Illinois was founded fifty-eight years ago. At first it confined its students to those holding the medical de- gree and taught not only refraction. ocular surgery and dis- eases of the eye, but Otology as well. It was known as a college of Ophthalmology and Otology. About this time the profession of Optometry was being formed and occasionally non-medical candidates began to be admitted to the classes. It was over forty years ago that Dr. ,I. B. McFatrich became president of the college. I-Ie enlisted the services of a strong staff of teachers and practitioners, who aided him in building his school into the foremost college of Optometry. Notable among these men are Dr. George VV. McFatrich, who at his brother's death became president, and who still continues as President Emeritus. Other well known men of this and a later period were Dr. George A. Rogers, Physicist, lecturer and authorg Dr. Chalmers Prentice. Opthalmologist and writer of many treatises and texts: Dr. I. I. Lewis, author and text book writer, and many others well known for their contributions to Optometry. In the meantime Needles Institute of Optometry had come into existence. This school was founded by Dr. XVil- liarn B. Needles, some twenty-tive years ago, in Kansas City, Mo. Among the outstanding men who assisted Dr. Needles in building his college, the foremost was Professor Iifrnest Occhiena, who enrolled in the college as a post-graduate stu- dent, within a few years after its organization. Professor Occhiena remained as assistant instructor, teacher and later as Professor of Optometry. In time he became Principal and through the years gave his whole hearted service to this col- lege which was destined to attract nationwide attention. In 1922 Dr. Needles purchased the charter and all of the stock of Northern Illinois College, then a private corporation, and came to Chicago to take charge as I resident. In 19343, however, the time was ripe for a complete reorganization. .-X new charter was obtained in which the control was vested in a board of trrrstees. Needles Institute was consolidated with Northern Illinois and Dr. Needles surrendered all of the stock of both institutions, which from that time became a non-profit corporation, which should permanently be conducted by the trustees and their successors, for the benefit of their students. alumni and the Profession of Optometry. It is an interesting fact that Northern Illinois was the first tenant in the then famous Masonic Temple, Chicagcfs first skyscraper, at the corner of Randolph and State Streets. It is a matter of history that Dr. Nlclfatrich opened his office on the second fioor of that building before either elevators or stairway were completed, and it was necessary to climb a lad- der. I-Ie was an active member of the committee which erected the building, and remained interested in it throughout his life. IVhen the Masonic Temple was sold and underwent a change of name, plans began to be laid for moving Northern Illinois to a more suitable location. This was accomplished during the fall of 1927, when was obtained the building which the college now occupies. This marked a great forward step. It became possible for the first time to develop a clinic of adequate pro- portions, to provide classroom space, and convenient living facilities for the students. Iiluring the past four years the en- rollment has tripled, and the faculty has grown by two and one-half times. The courses have been strengthened, and all equipment has been improved and increased. Northern Illinois Alumni are found in all parts of the world. They are serving as otiicers and leaders in practically every state and local association in the country, and among the members of every State Board of Ifxaminers. More Op- tometrists have received their degree from Northern Illinois than from all other Optometry colleges combined. XVith ten thousand graduates, each of whom is taking increasing pride in his Alma Mater, it has a prospect of a glorious future.

Handwriting and Eyesight y .XXIJXYRITING is an index to the nature of eye- sight detects. The human eye is like a camera. The eye ut the near-sighted person is adjusted to take close-upsi that of the far-sighted person long-distance views. lf the average handwriting of a person with normal vision is taken as a standard, that of the indi- vidual suttering from near-sightedness will he found to be much smaller, and that of the far-sighted incli- ' . . l vidual much larger. 'lhe near-sighted person does T not realize that his writing is small. for he sees it T enlarged. and the tar-sighted person does not know y l that he writes large, for his eyes reduce the image for i liim. This tendency to large or small handwriting l may lieeonie almost a national characteristic. ln y lfuropean countries, where there is a high degree ot near-sightedness. the average liandwriting is almost l l as small and as regular as a printed page. ln certain parts ui the United States where the frreatest num- Cv lier ul- people suffer troni tar-sightedness. the average . . . i liIllNlX'x'l'llQlllg is larger than normal. t F1'4'!Ill'tt' .l. ll'0lI in l,tlit'1'tIl'-X' Ifligest. 3 Official Photographers T0 Omega Delta and Beta Sigma Kappa Fraternities and Pi Kappa Rho Sorority SPECIAL RATES TO N.I.C.
