gOPcy □ □ J c! D p m p E □ E D D E n ™ m The Old College FOR twelve years the old college has served its purpose. It has put into the field numerous Osteopathic physicians well adapted to ad- minister to the needy. But with the advancement of the truth, so must our institution ad- vance, and now we find it inadequate both in size and in equipment for our needs. Ye are cramped, we want room, room to spread our wings, room to learn to fly, for we are still young birds greedily waiting to be fed the tasty worm of knowledge, so that we shall be strong enough to go our own separate ways, always remembering our Alma Mater as a place of con- tentment, brotherly love and as a shrine to point back to with pride and reverence.

p 1 p T 3 D D D □ [D] P D POOPE0PEOPEOPEO The J [ew College ■ HERE at last, the institution we have dreamed of for many years, seemingly with no avail. We will soon be moving away from the dust and noise of a factory district to a quieter residential section where we rightfully belong. The new structure will be of the most modern architecture, solving the problems of heat, ventilation, and light that we so sorely feel in our present situation. Every student will have the needed apparatus for scientific experimentation and the required amount of space for its successful comple- tion. The new College will comfortably accommodate five hundred students while the old buildings were overcrowded with only three hundred. This building will be located on the northeast corner of Spruce Street at Forty- eighth. Here we shall be sufficiently remote from the business district to insure better hospital atmosphere and yet near enough so as not to decrease the attendance at our clinics. gOPESPEOPEOPEE [14]
