EDGAR O. HOLDEN, A.B., D.O. Sigma Phi Epsilon, Iota Tau Sigma Central High School, Philadelphia A.B. University of Pennsylvania, 1916 D.O. Phila. College of Osteopathy, 1922 Dr. Holden made his entry to the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy as head of the Department of Biologic Sciences. This was by no means the extent of his teaching ability for he could aptly substitute in any of the other Departments. During the World War he answered the call to arms and acted as Sergeant-Major in the 538th Engineers A. E. F., at the close of the war he continued his career at the College and received his degree in 1922. The Board of Directors elected Dr. Holden to the responsible position as Dean of the College in 1924 upon the resignation of a worthy predecessor, Dr. Flack. Dr. Holden ' s officiation as Dean of the College can scarcely be paralleled, for it was through his diligent and diplomatic efforts that the glorious edifice which now stands, bearing the name of Osteopathy was started and completed. Too much can not be said of Dr. Holden ' s administration and in view of his past accomplishments we look with eager anticipation to the continuance of a brilliant advancement, through the medium of a far-sighted, intellectual, professional teacher and scholar. 20
