THE SYNAPSIS, 1934 DAVID S. B. PENNOCK, M.D,, D.O. 9 3 4 , y, THEME Inspired by the Indefatisable efforts and unfathomable past achievements of our predecessors who have so nobly portrayed the merits of an infallible science to us, v e, the class of 1935, surreptitiously desirous of perpetuating the incalculable values to underclassmen and simultaneously renew increased loyalty of alumni, present this volume as a meagre emblem of what the greater Osteopathy shall attain.

Ilic fin. will of Ostcopatliy lia hecn steady an. I urc in I ' liilailclphia. This present structure was put into use in i)i ) and already is taxed to tiie limit. It is situated in the residential section of West Philadel])liia, amid pleasant surround- ings. Passon Field is seen to the left of the collcfie. The coilcfie and ho ' -pital units arc so situated as to permit of an exi)ansion program. The architecture is ( oHegiate (iothic and is an outstandiuf; exani])le of that type- This presentation shows the huiiding with its main entrance on Sjiruce Street, flanke l 1)V towers, opening into a large lohhy connecting the ( ollege and Hospital inits. The comhination of an osteoj)athic college and a hospital is the ideal arrangement for corre- lation of training. This beehive of activity is l)ut a sytnlxi! of tlie advances Osteoj.atliy is making, and signifies the greater things in the future. The ho.spital was cliartered May 10, 1911, as a corporation with no stock and is not conducted for |)r()fit making. 19 3 4 COLLEGE AUDITORIUM THIS is the daily scene of active students. The auditorium is located on Forty- Eighth Street and leads directly into the main corridor of the first floor. The library is on the left and the auditorium witTa a seating capacity of 500 is situated on the right. The entrance to the General Clinic is found just to the right of the en- trance. The college was founded January 27, 1899. Formerly the college has been located in the Stephen Girard Building, 1901. In 1904 it was moved to the Witherspoon Building, and later to the northeast corner of Thirty-Third and Arch Streets. From 1906 to 1911 it was situated at 715 North Broad Street, when it was moved to 832 Pine Street. In 1916 a building to house the college was purchased at the southeast corner of Nineteenth and Spring Garden Street . On November 16, 1929, this splendid new building was opened to classes. Here the philosophy and teachings of Andrew Taylor Still, and the ideals and traditions of the founders, Drs. 0. J. Snyder and Mason W. Pressly, have been main- tained by teachers of national reputation as 0. J. Snyder, Muttart, Flack, Balbirnie, Pennock, Dufur, Nicholl. E. G. Drew, Galbreath, Ira W. Drew, and others. Here is the heart of collegiate activities. Examinations, special lectures, demon- strations, and dances are held here. THE SURGICAL AMPHITHEATRE WE FEEIi a note of seriousness as we reflect u])on the slirine of tlic skillful surgeon. It is here tliat many lives have heen preserved and horn. No one thing has been spared in the successful endeavor that has made this room a com])lete unit, even to the most minor detail; everytliing for the surgeon to better aid in the result. Through certainty and dexterity of his ca] ahle hands in conjunction with the wisdom acc|uired through long years of ] ractice and training the surgeon works toward the alleviation of pain. Above him, arranged in graded tiers, the students wliose privilege it is to watch, and to observe the technic|ue and principles of surgery that they have been taught. The Amphitheatre will seat two hundred and fifty observers, each of whom has an un- obstructed view of the procedures below. THE SYNAPSIS 19 3 4 THE COLLEGE CLINIC UPON qualifying for clinic practice, it is here that the student physician prepares himself for his career of service. He is sent into a small world of practice where under the guidance of superiors, it is his privilege to meet his own patients, to render such service as he may, and to prove to himself his own ability or his own shortcomings as a practising physician, and to learn by doing and by seeing, the things which have never been put into books. Then, having completed his course of study, he mayg9 on into a practice less strange for having already had an introduction to a few of its many problems. At the present time there are thirty-seven treating rooms each equipped for osteo- pathic treatments. In these rooms well in advance of forty thousand treatments are given yearly. There are also special Clinics in the organization consisting of the de- partments of Neurology, Surgery, Physical-Therapy, Mental Hygiene, Pediatrics, Cardio-Respiratory, Endocrinology, Dermatology, Proctology, Gastro-Enterology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat, and Podiatry. THE SyNAPSIS,1934 ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY 18 GREETINGS TO THE CLASS OF 1934 IN SO FE respects it is doiilitl ' iil wlu ' tluT iiiattiTs pertaining ' to econoiuirs, jiirisprnd- I ' nce, ethics iiiul other pohlical and social aspects of puMic life are sufficiently stressed in the instruction projfranis of our nnderfiraduate schools. This ohservation is made in the lifiht of clianped conditions known to exist in the affairs of the world in general. Question has heen raised whether we may expect a flat return to the normal that we enjoyed prior to the World War, or if the departures noted should he taken as more or less stable and conforming factors of a new order. With the s])irit and tem])eranient of the pulilic at lar ;e, laxc l and stniincd to uiuisual proportion, it is fittinj; for younj; ])eo])le about to venture into the thick of .such dis(|uietude, for the purpose of makinj; a livinji, especially those of distinctive professional cai)acity, to consider well the commonplace issues confronting the public and to he duly observant of the pulse and stri le of the people in general whom they will seek to serve. In the conduct of your practices j)arti(ii!arly in these ptTi)lexing times, it is imper- ative that the spirit of human kindness and courtesy jjrevail. Vou are likely aware that most of our physicians today are serving and carrying along patients and families with vague expectancy as to benefit or recompense. Stated rates have been to.ssed to the winds in the face of losses and misfortune. You, too, will likely be forced to apply the humanitarian principle to some of your individual endeavors. It may be necessary to develop in the code of ethics among those caring lor the sick an unjjrecedentcd flegree of toleratice and a spirit of compassion toward the caste who, though shunning charitable share, seek the charily of kindness and concession until return of better estate. Yet this does not suggest that in the economic balance of your affairs you should not set about to maintain your offices in dignified mien, just as others do in the conduct of business, with a proper measure of resolution and firmness in the matter of charging fees anfl in the exaction of payments. If anything, at the time of entering practice, the humanitarian principle overdone would appear far worse than the operation of the cold maxims of business enterprise. With respect to jurisprudence and the rights and j)rivileges of practice in the several states, it is e.ssential that each individual acc|uaint himself fully with the established laws and regulations ])ertaining to his particular state, district or commu- nity. In this connection the oft-expressed wisdom of joining the organized societies and associations of our profession may be reiterated. The intrei)retation of laws, questions involving the rights or restrictions contained in acts, provisions, ordinances, and the like, become the problems and issues of chartered groups and their counsellors. A lone wolf, a poor economist set on saving the mere dollars of society or organization dues, is constantly faced with grief and adversity. The healthiest way to avoid contest and ligitation is to Obey the Law while subscribing to the privileges of membership in national and state associations. {Continued on page 34) THE SYNAPSIS 19 3 4 19 ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY EDGAR O.

Then came the Great War, and, with others. Dr. Holden answered the call, serving as Sergeant- Major in the 538th Engineers, A. E. F. At the close of the war he returned and received his degree in Osteopathy in 19 ' Z ' 2. Dr. Holden, in 1924, was elected Dean of the College and shortly thereafter assumed the Superintendency of the Hospital. During his administration the new building program was inaugurated and osteopathy as a profession made strides in Philadelphia greater than ever before. Under his leadership many educational advances are to be noted, with higher academic requirements instituted, faculty and student numbers augmented and with inter-departmental correlation to insure broadened scope into post- graduate and research fields. Dr. Holden serves as Treasurer of both institutions and as a member of the Board of Directors. In addition to these major duties locally, he holds the office of Chaurman of the Bureau of Hospitals of the American Osteopathic Association.

There can be no {(iiestionable, nor even borderline, tactic or artifice resorted to, but what may embarrass or damage the name or reputability of this dis- tinctive branch of the healing art. There can be no such thing as a shutting of the eye to right or responsibility. A single impeachment stands to seriously impair or even to destroy this splendid new school of thought. It becomes the duty of each of us to carry our.selves beyond reproacli in all things in our lives as o.steopathic physicians. Edgar 0. Holden, Dean.

We all rcnieinher well the wel- coming addresses given at tiie meeting on the first evening. Hut we all remember more vividly, the first days, when everyone connived to baffle us with such difficult directions as dorsal, anterior, medial, lateral, internal, etc.; and the mysterious tubercles on l)ones: and all kinds of deep theories and definitions concerning life and cells and how they eat and slccji and metabolize (another word which caused us great anxiety), and all about their sex life, and so forth. Many of us studied far into the night, attempting to get these fundamentals straightened out; others would give up when only part way through an assignment and go to bed to be tormented all night by gruesome things like chemistry symbols which would build up to (|uite terrifying lengths, with Professor Erb and Mr. Stoertz standing beside them laughing heartlessly as they pondered and sweated over the cursed things. Some of the girls probably cried over the same assigimients and for a while imagined how much more desirable it would be to stay at home and be useless, and not have to do anything more difficult than em- broider aufl dance and dress up and have someone else look after them. Still others took things lightly, drowning the few worries that might threaten them occasionally, with — well, never mind. Everyone finally became more or less adjusted to this new life before long and learned to do anatomy lessons in less than six or eight hours; some even learned to do whole courses on the night before the midyear exam — we won ' t tell how successful these folks were. AMien the ( hristma.s entertainment came along, we found that we had only one talented member in our class, but he did his job up brown with his fur coat; and Joe I ' orias, of course, realizing the exquisite technique of our song bird, stood close by to collect. We will all recall the success of our Freshman Dance at the Adelphia Hotel, with Doc Dougherty ' s orchestra. After feeling we were being imposed u|)on by upjicr classmen when they offered themselves as temporary officers for our chiss government, we asserted ourselves by electing Newton C. Allen as President, ( ' . M. Becker as Vice-President. Martha M. Bailey, Secretary, and Beverly Sparling as Treasurer. However, we soon replaced these officers with others — Dr. Becker becom ing THE SYNAPSIS 19 3 4 president of the class and remaining in this office throughout the remaining years here. Johnny Finn was chosen for Vice-President, Mary Elizabeth Bailey as Secretary, and Si Green for Treasurer. We entered our sophomore year with a much finer governing body. We find that the seventeen girls who entered in the freshman year with us had dropped considerably in number. Work became more difficult and everyone showered examinations upon us until we were almost completely worn out, but June came around just in time that year to save us from insanity. Or, perhaps it didn ' t save us. Sometimes we behaved very much like lunatics. But it was the fault of the Seniors that we did some of the things we did. The Senior- Sophomore Feud, consisting of kidnapping someone from the opposing faction, con- tinued until the casualty of the broken glass in the sophomore door. After this we calmed down somewhat and left the seniors alone, confining our tactics to our own classroom. And the only fun we had after that consisted of throwing lighted torches or waste baskets or chairs, etc. Recalling that year, we marvel that any of us have ac- quired any kind of a professional manner at all. The Junior year opened with many new experiences in store for all of us — such things as Obs. cases, societies of all kinds, clinics. Junior interneship, the year book, the Junior Prom, and many other things. This was indeed a very full year and one to remember with pleasure. We began to learn something beside fundamental courses and everything that we felt we had come here for, began to open up before us. Obstetrical work became extremely interesting to many of us and the oppor- tunities opened to us in this line were very inviting. I believe we owe Dr. Evans a great deal of appreciation for the splendid opportunities held forth to those who are interested in these cases. This was an extremely busy year and all our time was consumed with writing theses or examination papers for entrance into the various societies, or writing for the year book, or having our pictures taken, not to mention the task of running the Junior Prom. The latter was a financial success and this enabled us to have several good times in our senior year. We especially remember the Pediatrics Clinic for the unique happenings which it brought — ask Harry Street, and others. Clinic exams, too, taught a thing or two; we learned that at this stage of the game, we should know everything, just in case someone happened to ask something we hadn ' t been taught. If some day, in years to come, you should find that you have forgotten the word Cardioarthropathy and with what it was associated, you will know that you are really getting old (if your memory can fail you to this extent). We had quite a time choosing our class officers for the senior year and in spite of THE SYNAPSIS, 1934 THE SENIORS all the conspiriiij; ami campaiRniiif;, the elections ended with no ill-will on anyone ' s part. And lU ' cker cuntinued to l)e ( lass President, Si (Jreen, ' ice-President, Mary Elizaheth Bailey. Seeretary, Steve Walker as ' rreasnrer. ami William llilchcnck as Student Coiineil Representative. With the Senioryear came stndenl interneship in the hospital, and clinic work con- linucd. Everyone hefjan to make himself conspicuous to the (lowers in this insti- tution if he wanted to find himself with a resident interneship when he graduated. .Vhont forty-five of us competed for these cherished seven residencies. The lonjj awaited announcements came on March 14-th ami found (Jriese, Frey, Plackstone, Hoag, Heckman, forsc, and Hitchcock as rcf;ulars with [. M. IJailey an l (Jallaf;her as alternates. In the fall. Dr. Drew in itcd all of us to sjiend the ilay at his place near New Hope. This day will stand out as one of the very best times we have ever had, I am sure. Very recklessly, all the boys entered into a football jjame: the next day about seventy old men limped into class. But it was worth a few crippled days to have had this wonderful outing. We owe Stan a vote of thanks for | rc|)arinf; the barbecues and colfcc. . ml tlic beer wa.s very good, too. This year, airplanes have been in vogue and the later a professor .-.hows up, the more congested becomes the aerial trafKc in the senior room. The prize for the most peculiar model goes to Henry Hillard: he made one with many dog-eared attachments and he couldn ' t lose it — it wouldiTl go thai far. The Charity Ball has been the outstanding event .so far, this year, and I don ' t believe anything will surjiass it. We all agree that the entertainment was excellent and the music, — well, it could not be improved upon in any way. If our Charity Balls continue to be so much more wonderful each year, there is no ])rophesying what we will attain in a few years from now. Dr. D ' Elisru is another person whom we will never forget and who should be included in this history of our class. Such a history should include many, many more ()eople who have made it possible for us to reach this senior year. We feel that we caimot adetiuately express our feeling.s toward the st;;tf of the college and hosjjital, those who have iiis|)ircd us lo carry on the great work which they have givei to us.

ANTRY, ADELE 9 Adele is Jack of all trades and master of all. She is a musician, an artist, designer, and even a me- chanic — for she can repair damaged automobiles. Her special interest, at present, appears to lie in Obstetrics. When Adele ' s smile appears and her eyes dance with good humor, no one can hide his own smile. Dependa- bility and loyalty-are her valuable assets. BACHMAN, ROBERT 9 Every day the Elevated rumbles in from Torresdale Avenue with Bob on board. Every day Bob picks up a new friend by his smiling agree- ableness and witty remarks. At school, he is seen usually with Clem. The back row is his favorite haunt, baseball his favorite sport. New Eng- land pronunciations a favorite topic of conversation, and Phi Sigma I I Gamma his fraternity. BATES, ROSWELL 9 Ross is a pleasant, unassuming chap with the ability and willing- ness to undertake a given task as shown by his efforts as our Editor-in- Chief. Ross is deeply interested in everything osteopathic and may later delve into specialization as a Pediatri- cian. He supports everything whole- heartedly which he believes in, and his very contagious smile has won him a host of friends here and in Danvers, Mass. The rule of the artery is absolute, universal, and it must be unobstructed, or disease will result. THE SYNAPSIS • liKIU.IN.

THE S I S t- ■ - ' i- ' i ■ ' ■■ ii ' n . ' « .mm-Jt BOXHAM, PAUL f For detailed information concern- ing Paul we refer you to a charm- ing Mrs. Bonham, Paul ' s helpmate and source of encouragement. His background is thoroughly Osteopathic and he will be a credit to the other Osteopaths in his family. His sta- bility of mind, steadfastness, and geniality are only a few reasons why he is Vice-President of the class. BOXIER, H. RRY Bonier is one of those quiet, peaceful individuals who brings you to your knees with a friendly slap on the back. His knowledge of con- trol force should make treating a pleasant pastime. Harry is indus- trious, has an active interest in class affairs and in the profession. His sport indulgence is bucking and block- ing traffic on the main route to and from Chester. BRODKIN, MITCHELL 9 Mitch is dependability personi- fied. He and Paul Murphy are mainly responsible for the introduc- tion of the new note system. He is another of the pharmacists in the Class of 1933. Quiet and serious in his endeavors, !Mitch has met with success in his studies, in his fraternity life, and as a member of the Junior Prom Committee. The body of man is God ' s drug store, and has in it all liquids, drugs, oils, opiates, acids, which God thinks necessary for human health. THE SYNAPSIS • nnuiows.

On this system of healing I have founded ' a natural tyUem of midwifery which puts to shame any method which has heretofore been used — really abused. 1 THE SYNAPSIS CmSHOLM, GILMORE f Gil attended Wilbraham Acad- emy, Mass., and descended upon Philadelphia with a sound mind sup- ported by broad shoulders, charac- teristic of strength of mind and body. He is a fraternity man and known always to be dressed immaculately. His friends are many, extending over large areas and each one will forever support him in his work. CLOLGH, REGINALD The symptoms of this versatile personality are at variance with any logical conclusion, except that he is an extremely pleasant malady to have around. He first came into prominence at Boston University, is virulent as to wit and argument, and has weakness for 1-o-n-g stories. He showed capable executive ability as chairman of the -Junior Prom Com- mittee. After the heart receives the blood, it sends it on to the brain, possibly to take on knowledge. Of the contents of the skull, one ounce is used for thought, the remainder generates power for nerves. COLE, GLEX 9 Glen is a quiet, diplomatic worker for the best interest of the class and college. For two years. Glen has held the class presidency, and is presi- dent of his fraternity, the Atlas Club, as well. Vour personal problems will receive confidential consideration and find their way to proper authority through Glen. He is a logical thinker, a conscientious worker, and possesses professional personality. CRESPI, LEO A smiling, outwardly happy-go- lucky chap, but one who takes Ills work seriously, I,eo does not boast of his ability as a technician, but those of us who know him well can look with approval on his progress. The neighborhood movies furnish his chief form of diversion. In clinic, I-eo handles his patients in a professional and effective manner. I). WS() . .lOllN II Jack is the ( ' ana lian representa- tive in the class and we wish there were others in Canada like him who would be listed in the category of our intimate friends, and as future Oste- opathic pliysicians. His is a keen, probing, observant mind, with enough joviality to endear him to tho.se who come in contact with him. He is inter- ested in extra-curricular activities. DoNdllOK. W II. 1. 1AM i;i) V. l{l) . sloiil, jovial rli:ip joined our ranks this year, having received his foundation at Villanova and Hahne- mann Medical College. A former teacher, he is now being taught the great Osteopathic concept. Outstand- ing is his keen sense of humor with a proper aMi( int of conscientiousness. Bill swelled our ranks with -205 pounds, but easily found u place with us. God ' i inleWgence is immeasurable, and there is much evidence that knowledge is imparted to the corpujc of tht fplopd be fr H does its work. THE SYNAPSIS EDDY, CLEM P Clem is quiet in his manner and only a selected few can claim a speaking acquaintanceship with him. Early in his course, there developed a Damon and Pythias friendship be- tween him and Bachman, a fraternity brother. Before entering Osteopathy, Clem attended the University of Vir- ginia. His outside interests center about Phi Sigma Gamma, Bridge and Pinochle, and professional wrestling EVANS, DAVID J All credit to Dave. Backed by preparation at Springfield Col- lege, a true determination, an agree- able aggressiveness, an Osteopathic mind, self-confidence, and a delightful wife, there is no hesitation in placing him as one of the class leaders. Aus- tralia is his home and he contemplates returning there to practice. He is a capable Student Council represen- tative. FARQUHAR, RALPH 9 Ralph, previous to matriculating at Philadelphia College of Oste- opathy, was a student at Western Reserve — and more than that we know him to have been quite a wres- tler there. Socially and professionally, Ralph rates near the top. He must have definite proof of all the state- ments made in class before he will accept them. He deserves much credit for his work in the hospital office. Every corpuscle goes, like a man in the army wfco has full in- structions where to go, and with unerring precision it does its work. THE SYNAPSIS KliK ' i ' . llKNIiV Hunk, from Princeton, is hroad- niinclcd, well rend, and always willing to lend a helpful liand to any- one in nee l. He diligently attacks all duties set before him. As a Freshman, he displaye l his athletic ability with the basketball team and last year served as class treasurer. We look upon him with great esteem. He is active in fraternal alTairs. 9 . 1 is a big Mian physically in the class, and this height of his is even more noticeable when in Kelly ' s . ustin. .M ' s hobbies are keep- ing his hair in approved shape, playing a fine game of tennis, and displaying his ability as an arlist. His self- assurance and ability lo put himself across at all times is the envy of many of us. 9 Thl. blond.  cll-Iik. ' d young man hails from Buffalo.

If the iupply channels of the body be obitructed, and the life giving currents do not reach their destination full freighted with health corpuscles, then disease sets in. — ' ■ 1 ■ -1 — ! — ' ■ • THE SYNAPSIS CELL, DOROTHY 9 Perhaps Dorothy may be con- sidered one of the most practical individuals of the Junior Class. As one listens to her slow, concise recita- tions, one is impressed with the assur- ance and absolute correctness of her decisions, for Dot believes in quality rather than quantity. It is interesting to note her face light up as she speaks and to watch her eyes talk. GOLDBERG, LOUIS 9 Lou is a Xew York Lniversity man with a well-earned reputa- tion. Difficult to interpret, his friend- ship, once made, is of the enduring type. Daily contact with men with whom he became well acquainted, and the magnetism imparted to his nature from a professional brother- hood seems to have changed him. He possesses a wide collection of com- plete notes, which is an indication of his conscientiousness. GOLDEN , ABRAHAil 9 Profound and erudite is our class- mate . be. Abe is the other half of the duet from Wilmington. He is an outstanding figm-e in the lunch-time arguments of the Junior class con- clave and proves himself a hard per- son to trip up on any subject from Xeurologj ' to Female Psychology. Concentration, straightforwardness and eagerness of purpose seem an integral part of Abe s character. iy Aen an allopath gave me castor Sil h wouf ask Gsd to b es: tn means used for my recovery.

IlKIM ' .MK Kli, TllKODOKK 9 Vc :ill envy m mkiii wIki never .seems to have a care in the world, a man who is forever good- natured and cheerful. Ileceiving his pre-Osteopathic training at I,ehigh and at Moravian College, Heinemcyer opened the door of Osteopathy to be engulfed in its mysteries.

IN THE SYNAPSIS THE JUNIORS IXCABABIAN, EDITH 9 Edith left a teaching position in Wilmington to study Osteopathy at Philadelphia College of Osteopathy. Her academic life at the University of Pennsylvania and her previous profession have given her admirable qualifications. Edith is famous for her culinary triumphs. For informa- tion as to her hobbies we shall refer you to her sisters of the Axis Club. Persistency and determination are beneficial characteristics of this KING, NELSON 9 Massachusetts sends to Phila- delphia College of Osteopathy another son, whom we believe well qualified to add his part to the realm of Osteopathy. Perhaps it won ' t be just Osteopathy, but Osteopathy plus X-Ray, as Nelson has been spending considerable time in the department of Radiology. He has exhibited talent in literary lines also.

KNOX, CLIFFORD A deep thinker, a philosopher, and a teacher were bound to- gether in this man after attending Foxcroft Academy; College of Thera- peutics; School of Naturopathy; then through the doors of Osteopathy to become known as Knox, the quiet student, whom we have come to know and like. He is inactive in athletics and fraternities, perhaps because of married life. Osteopathy is a science that analyzes man, and finds out that he partakes of Divine intelligence. ainii THE SYNAPSIS • KKAZiNSKl. WIl.I.IAM DAMKl.

His favorite topic of discussion is my two boys. Jack has a good sense of humor which serves as a controlling force over row- dyism. His air of gravity, with a mind that works harder than his tongue and a knowledge born of observation, assures progress. LENZ, FRED 9 A New Englander in spirit and characteristics, Fred is noted for business-like administration, which is corroborated by this volume. His abilities as a tenor make him one of the famous 1935 quartet. He has a failing for cranking flivvers on cold mornings in order to get to school on time. Fred is broadminded and opti- mistic in his viewpoints. LEONARD, MAURICE P Maurice began his higher educa- tion at the State Teachers ' Col- lege in Trenton where the art of Phj-sical Education tried to engulf him. However, like Jonah, he escaped, and feeling the spirit call of Osteopa- thy knew that he had found his call- ing.

Any day he can be found after a meet- ing of the Junior Class showing the other members how technique should be done, or displaying his ability as a salesman. He particularly likes to show his command of a well-developed vocabulary. LIXDLEY, FRAXKLIX 9 Frank, from Denver, Colorado, with his suave manner, his wavy hair, and his intriguing smile, quickly became a popular member of our class. His chief interest seems to lie in the field of Obstetrics, judging from his current activities. His fraternity, Theta Psi, and the Glee Club do much to keep his extra-curricular hours from becoming boring. LODGE, WILLIAM Bill is one of those chaps who does not fear to delve into the mysteries of his chosen profession. Tj-pical of the youths of Steelton, Pa., his home town, he is an ardent worker and an enthusiastic football fan. He has traveled extensibly over this con- tinent. The combination of being mechanically inclined and a former pattern maker will undoubtedly be valuable assets. An intelligent head will soon learn that a soft hand and a gentle move is the head and hand that gets the desired result. P S I s LUMSDEN, .IKANKTTE 9 Ciilliired and well poised is Ihis yimng woman from Boston. Jeancllc has served well the Kappa I ' si Delta sorority as a capable an l understanding president. She plays tennis well and has achieved no little fame in her role of an excellent cook. Bacteriology is one of her hobbies and .she devotes much of her spare time in that Laboratory. 9 Quiet, ea.sy going, likeable, he proves to be a favorite of us all. We don ' t see much of him and per- haps we don ' t know him as well as we slioiilii, but he shows his interest here at Pliilailelpliia College of Osteopa- thy by his continued support of all activities. Mac is a native of Syra- cuse. Me holds the class record for letter wrilinj; «lii(li proves his pop- ularity. 9 Dcaiic has been a real student since his advent into the college as a Prc-(). He received his training at Dickinson before entering Philadel- phia College of Osteopathy. Socially, he has been rather f|uiet, but only because his studies are more impor- tant. He has proven a capability in practical work. A well-established practice in Carbondale, Pa., working with his cousin, is his ambition. We find two argc and complete lystemi of vesseh, the rivers of life, whose duty is to convey material to all parts of the body. McCOLLUM, FRED 9 Fred, being a little older than most of us, comes to Philadelphia College of Osteopathy well prepared to to enter the profession of Osteopathy. He has encountered many trials and tribulations but has always managed to come out on top. Mac is quiet and reserved. Athletically, baseball and basketball hold his interest. He takes his work seriously, which always pays in the end. -AIcCORKLE, .JOHN 9 After spending four years at lluskingum College, Mac came to Philadelphia College of Osteopathy with a A.B. degree carefully tucked away in one corner of his s uitcase. He is well known for the dry humor and puns characteristic of him. A quiet, easy-going chap, Mac is the type that we all like. rSIIXES, JULIAN 9 This genial person has a dual per- sonality. Xot only is he a master musician and actor but one of the most Osteopathically minded men in our class. Jule is the exponent of the latest styles from New York. Pos- sessed with a keen insight, a wealth of knowledge, and the ability to carry on has won him a host of admiring friends. The whole universe with its worlds, its mer , its women, with all their forms of life were formulated by the mind of an unerring Architect.

Harry possesses a very contagious smile, a ready wit, an abundance of energy, and a keen sense of responsibility. MOODli:. AXDIfKW 9 Andy is a well-liked member of the class, tiulet and somewhat reserved. But be not misled by his apparently quiet manner, for he is prone to play some pranks and look the very picture of iimoccnce. Moody has been reared on Osteopathy. We predict that he will share quite a lot of his Dad ' s practice when he returns to Schenectady, X. Y. -MUOIU:, CKORC.K 9 Muorc is one of ll,c older Mi.-m- bers of the class. Therefore, there is less tendency to acts or pranks on his part which we might reveal. George is an earnest student, silently and steadily sailing through the waters of Osteopathy. We are sure George has sen.sed the value of Oste- opathy although his Dad i a well- established medical doctor. He hat placed all principlei of motion and life, alto atl the remedies to be used in sickness inside of the human body. THE SYNAPSIS p,R«,g,n MOA TIY, FRED 9 Fred just naturally happens to be a model man; not only is he of the football hero type but appears as a leader of men as well. Also, he is a tenor of note — yes, sweet notes. Fred will surmount any possible obsta- cles that may happen to come into his path which includes any floods that may wreck havoc with Johns- town, his home town. NEWM.W, ARTHUR 9 - rt comes to us from Long Island and with a brother in the Senior Class seems determined to keep Osteopathy in the family. Boundless energy and diverse interests enable Art to get his work in about half the normal time. Always ready for action, he also plays the piano — it seems Somebody Stole His Gal. He is the originator of we know- where you ' re going. ORR, PARKER 9 Parker ' s background is the envy of us all. His education was re- ceived at Brown University and at Mc- (lill. At the latter school, he received his medical training. Poise, serious- ness and efficiency combined in Parker, lead to a respect for his abilities. Although somewhat aloof and diffi- cult to understand, he can, at times, be one of the congenial men of the class. et us not be governed today by what we did yesterday, nor tomorrow — by what we do today.

His temperament is not of the dramatic type, but rather follows along a more even plane of endeavor, which is always consistent with progress in any field. ' PRESCOTT, WILLIAM 9 Bill has one of the best minds in the class for applying knowledge, which may be due to his Osteopathic family history or to his education at Syracuse University. Wherever he is, he lends an atmosphere of dignity and professionalism — as president of the class, our Freshman year or as a prominent baritone on the concert stage. ROWE, DANA There is no school quite so com- plete as P. C. O. and no fra- ternity quite so fine as Atlas — ask Dana. And his friends ike and admire his very staunch support. His patients will soon discover him to be a truly fine good fellow. We are often favored with a comedy act when Dana and Wilson are in the mood to ride each other. Ever remember that the word perfect means no more or no less than the fiat of God, that His work has been concluded with absolute exactness. SCHMIDT, IDA 9 W is an excellent sclioliir in all branches of Osteopathy. She is ever ready to offer and to give help to anyone. Her hobby is a staunch championship of the oppressed and the victims of ridicule. A special interest in deep sea fishing and in Franklin automobile is hers. Her accomplishments in summer clinics and Chemistry are definite assets to anj-one. SOnilAKD, liOMKUT 9 t re taught thai normal function depends upon normal structure.

As far as athletic achieve- ment is concerned, he is on top. This New Yorker delights in a keen competitor on the opposite side of the net. His keen spirit of perseverance and determination are also displayed in application of Osteopathic prin- ciples. THOME, R03C0E 9 Ross, with a medical family heritage of several generations, entered our ranks in the Sophomore year. Elizabethtown College proudly heralds him as one of her graduates. He is a former outstanding baseball pitcher and has a wealth of experiences behind him. Ross, a member of the Junior Prom Committee, is eager to participate in any event beneficial to the class.

He is an enthusiastic worker and a sincere student, both in the laboratory and lecture room and has a touch of professionalism. Algie hails from Johnstown, Pa., and after spending two years at Albright Col- lege, joined our ranks. WEISS, EDWARD 9 One look at Ed and a few words with him will make you his friend for life. Ed, a staunch sup- porter of the L. O. G., is one of those felLws who possesses that rare trait which is often desired, — a pleasing personality. Conservatism is his out- standing trait, while his knowledge of the subject at hand seems equal to any occasion. WILLIAMS, GEORGE 9 Every good class contains men like George. He is one who pro- gresses steadily and surely onward as the months roll by. Serious at times, he is noted at other times for a keen wit and a desire to tantalize his class- mates, especially Jack Wilson. Like many of his fellow New Yorkers, George has the quality of earnest determination. r By reason, we arrive at the conclusion that the duties of Nature are perpetual labor, through the vast cycles of eternity, conducted by the skillful plan of God. WlI OX, HERBKUT J. 9 Jnck started his study of Oste- opathy by taking the Pre-0 course. He was then the typical story hook Englishman, but after three years of association with us a change can be noted. It must be .said that Osteopathy can be proud of him.

Eddie has instigated a new method of penmanship which has finally gained recognition by hjs professors. His eagerness and conscientiousness are particularly worthy of record.

' J1. ' hat a motley array we must have been! Some were eaf;er to become ac- quainted, some were already known by their pre-osteopathic course, some were a bit bashful, and many of us were too busy to notice the others. Opening day brought inspiring speeches from the older mend)ers of the faculty, many of whom we were not privileged to know until our Junior year. It took I)rs. Green and Hothmeyer to make us realize we were not individuals, but a cia.ss, and a cla.ss which (|uickly found P. C. O. meant business. They were readily seconded in their project by Mr. Erb, Mr. Stocrtz, Mr. Minicli, Drs. Diirkee, Cre.ssman, Long, and other.s. Almo.st immediately the class api)eared to be nuide up mainly of politicians. For a new cla.ss, it seems that there were many arguments j)ro and con for i)rospective officers. The final results, however, found Hill Pre.scott, President, with (ileii ( ole as Vice-Presi- dent, Annette Albert, the Secretary, and Paul Ilotfmeyer, Treasurer. Paul was suc- ceeded as trea-surer by Fred Lenz before the year was over. It seems that all of the fraternities and sororities of the school ilccidcd tlic mcm- liers of the class of 193,5 should become brother and sister con.scious. Uu.shing, bidding, aufi initiations were run oft in a fast and furious style at this time and when the smoke hafl cleared away everyone seemefi satisfied. An imjrortant adjunct (important to the upperclassmen), to the Freshman Osteo- pathic courses seems to be the presenting of a succc. ' isful Freshman dance. The Hotel Penn.sylvania on November thirteenth, Friday, found the class passing this test with the highest possil)le rating. January 4, 193-2, will be remembered as the date of our introduction to Dissection Laboratory in the Harvey School of Anatomy. This very important step in our course served to increase our zeal, our marvelling at the intricacies of human machinery, and the realization of our task. The first of our biannual ten-day encounters with the faculty took place at midyears and many were the wounds and scars received, some proving fatal to our classmates. The second semester found further elaboration on our all important fundamental work of the Freshman year. Our artistic abilities, as well as our patience, were put to test in Histology and Embryology, much to the grief of some of us. Dr. Durkee in- augurated his table quiz plan with us. Elections for our Sophomore year placed Ken Hauck at the helm. Glen Cole was reelected vice-president. The books were entrusted to Packy Carlin, the money to Henry Frey, and the student council activities to Jack Lebow. During the summer, the class was struck with sorrow and disaster when the president-elect passed away. Ken was a likeable fellow who had become one of the most popular men in the class in one short year. In the fall. Cole was made president, and George Tomajan elected to fill out the Vice-President ' s term. The student roll for the class was now reduced to one hundred and six. The Sophomore year will always stand out as a pleasant one in our minds despite the amount of work piled on us, especially the first semester. Now, the famous quartet of Prescott-Lenz-Heinemeyer-Tucker proved itself, Dr. Long ' s Symphony orchestra met with great approval, our initiation into te chnique began, the series of addresses of Osteopathy on the Air began, the great First Annual Osteopathic Charity Ball took place, disastrous bank Holidays, affecting many of us, occurred. The class domi- nated at the Christmas entertainment by classes. This year ' s studies gave us an insight academically into what our persistent labors were to harvest. Our guides during the Sophomore year, painstakingly laboring with us as we travelled through Bacteriology, Pathology, Nervous Anatomy, P. Chem., Diagnosis, Surgery, Physiology, Principles, Spinal Mechanics, Topographical and Visceral Anatomy were Drs. Py, Dressier, Weisbecker, Mellot, Erb, Stoertz, Apatoff, Lutz, Kiser, Green, Long, Soden, Rothmeyer, and Cathie. Unknowns in Chem. and Bac- teriology, drawings galore in Pathology, writeups in Pathological Physiology, special sections in Physical Diagnosis all aided in filling our busy hours to capacity. Now, we hear strange stories of Betty Peck getting ready for class at three in the morning, of Jeanette leaving the wrong door open in the apartment, of Frey explaining Technique ' by Rotate as far as you can and then some more, of Herrmann calling Heinemeyer marasmic, of Dawson breaking the high jump record by leaping an eight-foot hedge to evade a West Philadelphia female, of Edith declaring Struse is as nice as Py to her, of Ida telling about Dana ' s blue eyes, of how Silas is still hiding from Dr. Pennock, and of Tomajan ' s explanation of guinea pig sex to Dr. Dressier.

Hill Clough, as chairman of the Prom Committee, holds the chief api)ointive office. The Junior year found our numbers reducefi to ninety. Obstetric calls, preparation for Clinic work, field trips in Hygiene, having individual and group pic- tures taken, coming to a better understanding with Dr. D Elisc,u, cooperating on the Charity Hall at the Penn A. C, putting across our own highly successful Junior Prom at the Henjamin Franklin Hotel on Friday, the thirteenth of . pril. s|)e ial Te(lini iue sessions, were but ]iart of the things crowding our hours this year. The Junior year found us preparing for Clinical work. The subjects immediately facing us were Cardio Vascular, Special Pathology, Toxicology, Technique, Neurology, Dietetics, Applied Anatomy, Obstetrics, Gynecology, Metabolic Diseases, Diseiusesof lusdes, Bones, Joints, Pediatrics, Acute Infections, Hygiene, and Surgery. Our new Profes.sors are Drs. Smith, Flack, Riceman, D ' Elis u, Fischer, Gruber, Kohn, Evans. Drew, and Pen nock. Our great adventure now is being student physicians in tiie Clinic where we are privileged to apply our knowledge of Osteopathy and watch its marvelous workings. Ours is the greatest clinical program yet attempted. Hut for those tedious hours back in the years of seemingly endless toil little could we do to guard our reputations. It almost seems that we are off on the right foot inasmuch as patients swarm to the clinic beyond cajjacity. May we alleviate such a condi tion by sijccding up the favor- able discharge list to a new record. The class has never been very active from an athletic standjioint, i)ut, rather, has stood out for good fellowship and coojjeration. There is a definite tendency evident in the cla.ss to .stick to more Osteopathy and less a mixture of O.steoi)athy and Medicine. Only the future will prove the determined efforts of the class in that direction. An aim in life is the only fortune worth the finding: and it is not to be found in foreign lands, but in the heart itself.

THE SYNAPSIS 19 3 4 CLAY MODELS • PATHOLOGY From Clay Models of Fred Lenz, ' 35 THE SYNAPSIS, 1934 THE SOPHOMORES c THE SOPHOMORES 88 THE SYNAPSIS, 1934 THE SOPHOMORES SOPHOMORE HISTORY Class of 1936 Joseph C. Snyder President George B. Hylander Vice-President Catherine P. Lalli ' Secretary Edmund Thomas Treasurer Murray E. Miller Student Council CAME September 19, 1932, that memorable day when, with the gathering of the class, our first roll call was taken. The roster consisted of one hundred fifteen names including high school graduates, college graduates, and those who had some college work. The first social event in our two years was College Day held at Willow Grove. We were afforded the opportunity of meeting many upperclassmen and also becoming better acquainted with our own fellow classmates. We predominated in most of the field events and carried the day in easy .style in a downpour of rain. With little ceremony we were swept into our Osteopathic courses and our concep- tion of Osteopathy took place with our important courses of Anatomy, Applied Physics, Histology, Chemistry, Biology, History of Osteopathy, and Embryology. By this time the members of the class were in a position to justly elect the officers for the Freshman year. In Joe Snyder was detected ability as a leader. He has proven our analysis of him as a capable class president. Gordon Zink ably assisted Joe as Vice-President. Thomas Fleming was given charge of the mercenary end of our troubles, and Alberta Johnson, the former school teacher from Tennessee, used her previous training in keeping the books. Our Student Council Representative was Robert Cooper, acting as a medium in keeping us in contact with the administration. Before Thanksgiving, riding the goat became popular and many unsuspecting members of the class found themselves affiliated with a college fraternity. According to traditions, the class presented the Freshman Formal to the students and the college. Due to the eft ' orts of the committee for this dance and the cooperation of the class the affair exceeded the expectations of the most critical. Like the sword of Damocles the mid-year examinations were suspended over our heads with the faculty holding the scissors. Our fears were not justified for only a few were unable to meet the requirements of our instructors. THE I S THE SOPHOMORES In the spring of flic year a very unfortunate acciiltnt lucurrcil in wliidi we lost Elvin H. Leas, a very proniisinfi nieniher of the class. Hy this time, having heconie aeeiiniated to our work, final examinations wore ap- l)roache(l with slightly less anxiety. Thus ended our first year at I . ( ' . (). The Sophomore year hegan September li), lOS. ' J, with a slight loss in menihership, hut sfrenglhencd hy the addition of transfers from other |)rofessional schools. We iin- nieiliately delved deei)cr into the sciences of the healing art and hegan to see a correla- tion het ween our more fundamental work of the first year and the work at hand. Snyder was again elected as guide of the chuss in the capacity of president, (i. B. llylander was made ' ice-I ' resident, while Kd Thomas hccame Treasurer, Catherine I.ally, Secretary, and yi. E. Miller represented the class in student Council sessions. About the middle of the first semester we were i)ut through a rigi l onleal of exams, not of our own choice, hut as a result of the far-seeing judgment of our faculty. This concludes the history of the Sophomore class up to the elate of writing. The ensuing events of t lie npli(iini)rc ' s will he enlarged upon iicxi year as juniors.

THE SYNAPSIS 19 3 4 PRE-OSTEOPATHIC SCHOOL THE Pre-Osteopathic school is established as a distinct and separate unit of the institution, superseding the pre- vious identity of a pre-osteopathic science course. The curriculum of the school has been broadened so as to in- clude some of the cultural subjects so essential to a physi- cian ' s education. AVhile the subjects offered in the Pre- Osteopathic School are presented in much the same way as they are in other colleges and universities, yet special atten- tion is given to parts of the sciences relating primarily to the study of osteopathy, and an osteopathic perspective and viewpoint is stressed throughout. The advantages of taking the required College preliminary work in an osteopathic at- mosphere are self-evident. The environmental factor, inti- mate association with osteopathic students, observance of the customs of a modern osteopathic college, its clinics, and its hospital, with their fine appointments and facilities, afford incalculable benefits. Students of the Pre-Osteopathic School are not permitted to enroll in any of the subjects of the professional school. Edgar 0. Holden, A.B., D.O. Russell C. Erb, B.S., M.S. in Chem. Edward A.

Flack JANUARY 27, 1934 Saturday morning, January 27th, 1934, the thirty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy, which became incorporated on January 27, 1899, by Drs. O. J. Snyder and Mason W. Presley, was held. The founders after many years of patient and consistent teaching, were able to visualize and finally realize the new site at the Northeast Corner of Forty-eighth and Spruce Streets. Dr. O. J. Snyder, a founder of the Philadelphia College of 0.steopathy, was singidarly honored by the entire profession, faculty, and students, with an oil painting of him being presented to the College in appreciation of many years of sacrifice, help, and professional interest in the growth of Osteopathy. This portrait now hangs in the College Library. The Board of Directors, through Dean Edgar 0. Holden, also honored Dr. C. D. B. Balbirnie, Secretary of the Board of Directors and Professor of Therapeutics, with an honorary degree of Master of Science, together with Dr. Arthur M. Flack, Professor of Xeurologj- and former Dean of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy, with a Master of Science Degree. Both men have contributed a great portion of their lives in the advancement of osteopathic education and its principles. Today they can look back and visualize the tremendous growth that osteopathy has made indirectly through their efforts and patience. Dr. Ross Stover, Pastor of the Messiah Church and well known to radio listeners because of his weekly broadcast over Station WLIT, was the principal speaker of the day.

RATERNITIES are logical and natural institutions which have grown up to meet a very natural and human need in every young person, the need of comrades, of fellowship. The idea of fraternal association is as old as the race. We find examples in all tribal councils of wandering peoples, in the Lyceum of Athens, and in the pupils who gathered about Socrates and Plato for the benefit of mutual knowledge and association. At P. C. O. as in other colleges the Fraternities and Sorori- ties play an important part in cementing friendships which last, not only while the individuals remain in college, but long after they have become alumni. This feature of fraternal life is especially gratifying to those who come to college seeking lasting friendships as well as knowledge. Fraternity men and Sorority women are also encouraged by their organi- zations to join in the many extra-curricular activities which are both educational and cultural. Contacts with older mem- bers of the fraternity as well as contemporary members do much to develop character. THE SYNAPSIS 19 3 4 121 ORGANIZATIONS Standing: Evans, Hughes, Osborne.

In this way an efficient and worthwhile relationship between the .student body and the administration is maintained, and a harmonious program is promoted. The Council is composed of nine members, the president and a representative from each of the upper four classes of the College proper, and a ninth member, elected by popular vote of the entire Student Body, who serves as President of the Council. The President must be a member of the fourth year class. Regular meetings are held throughout the year, at which time appropriate topics are discussed. THE SyNAPSIS,19 34 ORGANIZATIONS M. Bniley.

It is a scientific and social organization of the student body of the coilej e. Its organization took place February ' 24, 190 2. The fleclared objects of the society comprise the develop- ment of Osteo{)athic organization, the |)roniotioii of interest in scientific sul)jects and the establishment of good fellowship among students. Monthly meetings are held in the College and various Osteopathic and general toj)ics are (liscusse i. The expenses incidental to .social programs are defrayed from the Student .Vctivity Fee. Neurone develops a spirit of camaraderie, and the fixation of that memory which brings the old grad home again, time after time, to look the place over and marvel al her progress.

Secretary Stanley Griese SENIOR NEO HONORARY SOCIETY THE Xeo Senior Honorary Society was founded at the Philadelphia College of Osteo- pathy in 1924, by ten members of the class of ' 25. The purpose of this society is to promote student activities, interest in athletics, and good fellowship among the students and with the profession at large. The members are elected on the basis of extra-curricular endeavor and personal concern in the active phases of student life. At the Junior Prom held each spring, keys are awarded to those members of the Junior Class w-ho have most effectively maintained and promoted outside the classroom the fine spirit so essential to student life, in the estimation of the society.

Drew in 1925, this society was inaugurated for the purpose of furthering a knowledge of two closely allied and highly important branches of the healing art. Obstetrics and Gynecology. Obstetrical treatises, prepared by the members, are read at the closed meetings, with several instructive lectures and presentations by visiting lecturers at the open meetings. The hearty cooperation of members of the faculty have made possible demonstrations of real value. Election to this society is based on interest, ability and the acceptance of theses submitted during the second semester of the Junior year. With a continuation of the activities already present in this society, it should become an in- creasing force in the advancement of these all-important phases — Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Preceding the Grand Ball, a dinner was held with over four hundred people attending. Throughout the dinner, dance music was furnished by Horace Hustler and his Gingham Club Orchestra, well known to many Philadelphians. Several stage and screen personalities put in a personal appearance and received a tumultuous reception for their efforts. The Lee Sisters, of movie fame, in addition to making an appearance put on a skit and sang several songs. Vera Xivna, appearing at the Walton Roof, with the Walton Roof Orchestra, sang three popular songs and was forced to do several encores before being allowed to leave. By nine-thirty, the tables were being cleared away prior to the start of the Grand Ball. On the dot of ten o ' clock, Peter Van Steeden waved his baton and the Second Annual Charity Ball was in full swing. Lights were dimmed, a large crystal ball with colored lights reflecting on it slowly circled above, cast- ing various colors down onto the dance floor. First a waltz and then a fox trot blended with the voices of Miss Kathleen Wells, diminutive singer appearing with Peter ' an Steeden ' s Orchestra, and Harold Richards, tenor soloist, were only a few of the outstanding numbers to be heard. At eleven-fifteen, a stage show with some of radio ' s prominent personalities was presented to the gay colorful crowd. Finn Williams, vagabond singer of the air, gave a rendition of Old Man River that was well liked. William Hall, of radio fame, sang two numbers in a rich baritone voice for which he is so popular. Will llahoney. The Four Franks, Kenneth Harlan and William O ' Xeal, formerly heard on the Chevrolet Hour and who appeared in the New Moon and in Countess faritza, were several of the famous stars to put in an appearance. As the curtain came down on the final act preparations were made for the coast to coast broadcast scheduled for 12:00 M. The Orchestra played several preliminary numbers for testings. At exactly 12:00, Mr. Joseph Nassau, Director of Station WLIT, stepped up to the microphone and introduced to the nation the Second Annual Osteopathic Hospital Charity Ball. For one-half hour Peter Van Steeden and his orchestra played popular tunes of the day pausing only to allow Mr. Nassau to make the station identification. Throughout the broadcast Miss ' ells and Mr.- Richards sang the vocal choruses of several of the songs, often combining as a duo. The broadcast fini.shed at 12:30 but the dancing continued until two o ' clock, and a tired but happy group of people knew that the Second Annual Charity Ball had been a huge success. At the conclusion of the Ball, it was annoimced that a Third Annual Charity Ball would be held next year on the night of February 23, 1935, at the Penn Athletic Club. WHAT AN EVENT! W HAT A NIGHT!

Among the veterans to appear were Captain George Nikola, Bill Furey, star athlete from St. Joseph ' s High, Bud Hylander, who later in the season was forced to the sidelines with injuries, Martin Schnoll, Bob Cooper and Elias Korn. The new candidates that were later selected as first string substitutes and made a creditable showing throughout the season, were Dick Jameson, hailing from Ports- mouth, N. H. ; Henry Maciejewski, a graduate of Wilmington High School, and Arthur Bunting, who resides in Lynn, Mass. Coach McWilliams was ably assisted in his coaching duties by George Gilham and these two capable tutors combined to make the maroon and gray year a success. Osteopathy opened its season by defeating the Drexel Institute five on the latter ' s floor, by the score of 42-39. The Dragons took the lead at half-time and con- tinued to hold it until the last minutes of the game.

All the home meets were held in the West Branch Y. M. C. A. pool at 52nd and Sansom Streets. Incidentally, the maroon and gray squad triumphed in all their home meets. Coaches Anthony and Charles Roeser, former Temple University aquatic stars, were fortunate in having an abundance of experienced material to mould into a team. In addition, several new candidates reported and added strength to the varsity squad. In the backstroke events.

The next week the df)ctors ventured into Ihe eastern intercollegiate cliam|)ion- •ships held at Newark, Delaware, on March lit. All hough unable to jjlace in the finals they giive a good account of themselves in the trial heats. This sort of com|)etition was exactly what they needed to pull them through in their final meet of the year ag.ainst the Rider College swimmers from Trenton. When the final event was finished and the score comi)iled it showed that the osteojjaths hafl emerged a close victor, the .score being 30- ' -29. The outstanding higlilij;lit in the entire swimming season, was the development of Simon Lubin. He is now among the first five fastest swimmers in eastern inter- collegiate competition, capable of doing the l()l)-yard freestyle around .5.5 second.s. A more elaborate schedule has been i)laimed for next year due to the vast amount of experience resulting from the meets with the outstanding local institutions. • THE SYNAPSIS 19 3 4 TENNIS OSTEOPATHY will be represented by one of the strongest tennis teams in the history of the institution this coming season. The only absentee from the 1933 squad is Bud Christensen, former runner-up in the eastern inter-collegiate tennis cham- pionships in 1932 and captain of last year ' s squad. The following men will form a squad that is expected to offer stern opposition to the teams that will face them this year: Captain-elect George Nikola, Kelley Streicker, the only southpaw racquet wielder on the squad, Carl Beasley, and several other candidates who are expected to report for the first practice session to be held shortly. To date the schedule is: April 14 — Ursinus at Collegeville April 19 — State Teachers at home April 24 — State Teachers at West Chester April 28 — Juniata at Huntingdon May 5 — Swarthmore at Swarthmore May 11 — Juniata at home May 12 — Moravian at Bethlehem May 25 — Ursinus at home THE SYNAPSIS, 1934 ATHLETICS 142 BASEBALL COACHES Georj;c (iilliani iiiul Uul e ( liainlnTs, Ixilli well known in lucal coinpi-- tition, will ajiaiii handle the haseliall team of the I ' hiladelphia Coliejie of Osteop- athy. raiia}:er M.

In spite of this handicap and limited time allotted for practice due to clinical interference and inahility on the part of the upper cUussnien to compete this year because of severe scholastic clinical schedule, the sophomore class is expected to carry the heavy burden of the team positions. The Osteopaths opened their sea.son on April lHh ineetin ; Drexel at Drexel in the openin  clash of the season. Several hurlers from last season ' s team will Imld (Inun the pitching jobs this year. Bob Cooper, former Temple University twirlcr, will he the lea lin ; candidate and is expected to start all games on the mound. There are many new aspirants for this position who reported to Coach Gilham. The catching position w ill be taken care of by Bill Maciejewski, a member of the sophomore class. Martin SchnoU, newly elected captain of the basketball team, will be seen at his old place, the initial sack. Paul Murphy, formerly of U. of P., and M.

MEDITATION ' on the great humanitarian science must carry two conflictiag emotions: object despair in viewing the multiferous and seemingly insur- mountable problems still to be conquered, or, the elation of hope that the succeeding years may be crowned with the glory of discovery that was seen in the latter years of the 19th century and the early years of the 20th. To my humble and inexperienced mind it appears that Pathology is a victim of the same problem facing all science and philosophy. These twin children of learning have indulged in an orgy of analysis and discovery for several decades till there has been amassed such an abundance of facts that advance is virtually impractical. Philosophy THE SYNAPSIS, 1934 COMBINED GROUP 152 SOPHOMORES SEh JUI NURSES INTERNES F A( THE SYNAPSIS, 1934 153 COMBINED GROUP RS FRESHMEN TV NURSES THE SYNAPSIS, 1934 needs a synthetic I ' hilosdpliy; St-ieiic-e needs a syiitlietic Seieiice. Il is time to cmI! a lioliday from this wild Orjiy of discovery to provide time for a sane evahuition of these facts an i to correhite tliein, and to give a perspective of tlie j)rol)lenis of today. In 1703, wlien a great epidemic of Yellow Fever, destroyed a hirge i)er(entage of the populace of Philadelphia, Henjamin Hush noted in his writings the unusual heat and humidity together with the enormous numlu-r of mosfpiitoes. Why didn ' t he and others notice the association of the climatic conditions and insects with the discjise? Is it not possible that we too, in our m;ui scranil lc for (lisco cry. arc ovcrlonking the significance of already discovered facts. Ill this year, 1934, it is very urgent that we review our forces and our position, tliat wf ol)tain a clearer perspective of our objective and a truer analysis of the ob- sticales in llu- palli of the advancement of our Science. eJQ APPLYING EDUCATION TO OSTEOPATHY By RrssELL C. Erb, B.S., M.S., F..V.T.C. THE advances which osteopathy has nuwle in tiiis country during the last twenty- five year.s have been practically alone in the science itself and in its value to the public. Advances in the future will be made in the field of education. It, therefore, .should be a timely consideration to give seriou.s thought to our methods of education a.s applied in the several colleges of osteopathy. It i.s impossible to formulate a theory of cducalidii except Iroin liic landpoint of a conception of its aims. In general, the aims of human education can be groui ed under two main headings — efficiency and personal culture. Teachers must strive to make students efficient living units and at the .same time they must exert all their pedagogical dynamos toward the production of a personal culture in every stuflcnt coming under their influence. The time element does not permit of a great deal of cx|)aiision along the personal culture aim of education. We hold that such subjects as the basic sciences, while THE SYNAPSIS, 1934 looked down upon by some, are in fact better adapted to satisfy the aims of education than some of our so-called specialty subjects. The basic sciences afford the teacher devices for aiding in personal culture through mental discipline. At the same time, these basic sciences offer mental armamentorium necessary for efficiency in the forma- tion of the scientific concept of osteopathy. Let us, therefore, adopt a s our promise that as teachers in an osteopathic college, our foremost aim is to make our students efficient. In short, it is our duty as teachers to readjust the life of Freshmen during an arbitrary period of four years so that at the end of that time we should have an efficient osteopathic physician. The principle task before us is that of readjusting the mental lives of our students so that they may efficiently meet the tests arising in a practical world. Are we con- sciously holding this aim or purpose before us while we are engaged in teaching? The lecture method of teaching has but little value in modern life. The lecture method of imparting knowledge anti-dated the printing press. Our students are re- quired the ability to read. They should be required to own text books (not notes). With these requirements rigidly enforced, it is educational asininity to lecture on subject matter already before the students on printed pages. For a time, let us consider some of the disadvantages of the present lecture system : The lecture method makes no attempt to cultivate original thinking. It answers questions before it asks them. The student is literally bombarded with, let us hope, facts during an hour encounter. His only hope is that he can jot down notes faster than the lecturer talks. When this is impossible, he requests mimeographed notes so that he may have an easier time before examinations. The lecture method does not permit the student a freedom of self-expression. He is assigned to a room in which he must sit in an assigned seat and exhibit forced atten- tion. His mind is not usually in the receptive mood and here again he must fall back on some meagre hastily assembled notes. The student ' s individuality is lost. The efficiency of a physician may be measured by his ability as a diagnostician. But even in the so-called presentation clinics, the lecture method influences the period of instruction. A case is presented, the case history is read, the provisional diagnosis announced, and the patient exhibited to the class with the physical findings pointed out to the class to substantiate the diagnosis made by some one else. The student ' is merely given an opinion, often cloaked as fact. The student is expected to believe and is not encouraged to contradict the diagnosis or to form an original diagnosis. He has his diagnosis done for him. He has not been educated to diagnose for himself. Let us further amplify this lecturing with case presentation. Suppose that the instructor would adopt a critical mien. Suppose he would question the thoroughness THE SYNAPSIS, 1934 of tlif case liislory. liy atloptiii tliis iiiood, llii ' sliidcnt iialiirally would liiid Id assist llie instructor in finding fault with the liistorical |)hase of the case.

X cultivation of the imajiinalion. ' y . l)eveloi)mei)t of a critical and iin| arlial judi;menl. The first atlainmeiil, i.e., skill in ol)ser ation and experiment cannot he ohiained l)V the now jjopular lecture method. Lahoratories, clinics and demonstrations are the desideratum. Our entire fabric of knowledge is Itased on the ideas that come to us from our senses, lyecturing nierely stimulates the ear — and this heconies deaf when sleep overtakes the student. The laboratory i)eriod, the clinic hours and classroom demonstrations stimulate the eye, the ear, the nose, the tongnc ami liic loncli. . t. ' oiid teacher can arouse all the avenues of sense perception. •2 In I he allainnicnl of a bellcr memory and knowle(ige of reU ' vant facts the func- tion of the teacher is that of guide and adviser. The class period must become a con- ference |)criod duriiif; part of which dear jissignments are made and the meat pointed out from the gravy in modern text books. ;J. The ability to reason and think in a logical systematic way cannot lie attained l)y sitting through long an l sometimes uninteresting dissertations. This brings for- ward the great word of the Ilcrbartian system, namely, apperception. By this term is meant tlie active contribution of the mind to ideas received through sensc-percei)tion and memory of relevant facts, p ' irst, we perceive a thing, then we identify or classify it. This identification or classification is what the mind, from its ])rcvious knowledge, adds or contributes to the sense-perception. When we identify or classify an object pre- sented to our sen.ses, we aj)perceive it. .V])i)erce|)tion is necessary in diagnosis. Stu- dents who have not been educated along the lines of apperception cannot rightfully be considered efficient. (•. . cnllivation of the imagination. Most insi mclors hclilllc any tendency THE SYNAPSIS, 1934 that a student may have toward native imagination. Some instructors go to the ex- treme of utilizing the weapon of sarcasm to put day-dreaming students back to their assigned seats in the lecture room. Many lecturers have pronounced objections to the interruptions caused by the imagination of students during class periods. Some teachers adopt the Don ' t be foolish mood, or It can ' t be done sneer, with stu- dents possessing strong imagination. It is the duty of a teacher to encourage imagina- tion. It has been said that a disciplined imagination has been at the bottom of all great scientific discoveries. We must therefore encourage in our students the same imagina- tion that fired the mind of the founder of osteopathy. 5. A development of a critical and impartial judgment. This is the requisite for all clever diagno.sticians. Each case or proposition must be judged solely on its merits. The imagination is a dangerous but useful ally. The conference idea of instruction with the teacher-adviser employing the Socratic method of instruction should go far towards the development of a critical and impartial judgment. If a class is informed that a case of diabetes -w-ill be presented, all the findings will be interpreted as diabetic, because a critical and impartial judgment has not been formed. However, if the case is presented as a questionable condition, a critical and impartial judgment may be stimulated. In all of these considerations of educational attainments, we must assure the student a freedom with responsibility. Rousseau was the first to advocate the utOiza- tion of the principle of freedom in education. It was emphasized also by both Posta- lozzi and Froebel and stimulated by Montessori. Rigidity in educational practices must be replaced with flexibility and academic freedom. Our students have different native abilities. Our method of teaching must be flexible enough for adaptation in individualistic instruction. Our method of measuring attainment must possess suffi- cient freedom so that worthy students are not removed from academic engagements because they failed to obtain an arbitrary and numerical grade. Final examinations in a subject are necessarily the only method of determining the educational progress a student has made. If a pedagogue embodying the prin- ciples provided in this paper cannot determine the worth of a student after a year ' s contact, then that pedagogue should go to chicken raising or engage in some other fowl business.

( ' )ni])are l to tins frrowtli of practice, its literature is in its infancy. To the early invest ij;ali)rs much credit must he jiiven for jjointinji the way and our research workers of llic past have done creditably in view of the many handicaps under which they were force l to lahor. The work done hy these workers has been largely animal experi- mentation. It is. however, impossible to i)resent an aderpiate ex))laiiation of our phil- osophy on the basis of this e | crimciilati(iii aldiic. To atlcnipt to do so is to invite just criticism. The nee l for abun lant clinical research and human experimental study becomes apparent when one reviews osteopathic literature. The need for animal experimenta- tion wiis long ajjo recoftnizcd and some valuable j roundwork has been started. That this animal experimentation should continue is imperative. There has not been a comprehensive, systematic, and scientific compilation of statistics of human .studies either clinical or experimental. Scattered attempts at such compilation have aj i)cared from time to time, but they have not been very productive. Certainly the jjrinciples of osteopathy can be presented in terms of human as well as animal experimetitation. Certainly the results of o.steopathic therapy can he presented in terni.s of clinical studies and in forms which are acceptable criteria in any system of the healing art. This human study. i)otli clinical and experimental, forms the basis of the research activities at the Philadelphia College today. This human study divides itself into clinical and experimental Exjjerimentation along various physiological lines can be carried out without difficulty by research units anrl these experiments can be carefully controlled because all related procedures are under direct supervision. It is when the attemj)t is made to study clinical records that great difficulties are encountered. These difficulties, I am sure, have spelled failure for many of the past attempts at clinical research. These difficulties are essentially of two natures. In the first instance, is the question of accej)table and reliable diagnoses based upon sufficient lal)oratory studies and made with the aid of all the best an l accepted diagnostic procedures. In such manner must diagnoses be made to be of value statistically. This is a greater problem in the records from men in the field who are not in close touch with hospital facilities. Many such records prove practically worthless because they lack this supportive evidence. In the second instance is the problem of securing adecjuate and satisfactorily kept records. Outside of our institutions it is rare to find case records containing sufficient data for critical research stutly. The responsibility of the practitioner in the field does not stop when he has cared for his patients. He must assume the added l)ur(len of so keeping records of {( ' oitc ' .tided on page 177 ) THE SYNAPSIS 19 3 4 PROFESSIONAL MUSIC Benjamin Shablip, Director of Music. IN THE early part of the school year 1931-32, a musical seed was sown for the first time at P. C. 0. It was the happy inspiration of our own Dr. Long. And it was destined to be richly fertile soil. Conceived with the idea that Music, the uni- versal language and voice of Beauty, was an all important factor in the mental, emo- tional, and spiritual development of young men and women, a call was issued for those interested in organizing an orchestra. About fifteen willing and enthusiastic students responded. It is doubtful if ever an embryo group was assailed by greater difficulties. Lack of time was most disheartening — clinics, late classes, outside jobs, of necessity came first. A dearth of instruments, facilities, music, and orchestral experience, did not ease matters any. Yet an indomitable spirit and burning desire to create, inspired by the beauty of music itself, kept the budding organization alive. There could of course be no concert the first year. The orchestra was simply not yet of age. But the seed had been well planted, — and the next year bore fruit. From a group of fifteen, the orchestra grew to almost double its size. With the exception of one or two instruments of minor importance, the orchestra was complete. The strength of added numbers, a deep conviction in its purpose, plus an enthusiasm that was contagion itself, soon was manifested in the vast improvement of its playing. So much so that at the end of the season a formal program was presented in the school auditorium, which included the Schubert Unfinished Symphony and the Peer Gynt Suite of Grieg, taxing works for any symphony orchestra. This concert which also included groups by the string section of the orchestra, and our male vocal quartet was a thrilling success from every standpoint. This year, our third, has seen a still further growth of our activities. With the vocal quartet as a nucleus, a male glee club was formed which now includes twenty members. The orchestra, enhanced by a fine reputation based on last year ' s concert and an equally successful one given the past Christmas has also grown and is now a full-fledged and thriving symphony orchestra. Both organizations are now components of the recently formed Musical Society of P. C. O., governed by a constitution and by-laws, and self sustaining insofar as expenses for music, instrument repairs and the like, are concerned, thru a small weekly fee. At the end of this season the Musical Society will present a program of even more ambitious proportions than the one given last year. It should be a source of great pride to P. C. O. to know that close to fifteen per cent of its entire student body is actively engaged in the creation of music and enjoy- ing the unquestionable benefits thereof; also that there are but few professional schools, if any at all, that can boast of either a symphony orchestra or a glee club. The entire College, — officials, faculty, and students, are to be congratulated on a notable achievement. THE SYNAPSIS, 1934 PROGRAM— MAY 5, 1933 I. AR ■ll II. Al.LEGRKTTO KKOM M ) )M.I(;ilT SnNATv .

It is a warm Saturday morning in June. The first Saturday, in fact. It is com- mencement morning at P.C.O. Although only 10 o ' clock, friends and relatives of the victims are filing into College Hall. They think the ])rograni will start at 11 o ' clock. I said it is a warm morning, one of tiiose days that r eciuire only pants under the graduation gowns. Of course, we ' re speaking of men now. Seniors are pacing to and fro and fro and to. In fact, they ' re coming and going — hut all gowned in flowing black cloth and decked with tasselled i)las(er hoards. It ' s a jiretty site — the campus out doors. The faculty is arriving in installments. In green and yellow hoods. I ' retty flowers, there! Now and liieii we look intu llic audi- torium. It is steaming with humauily. The women fan and the men shift from side to side. I ' shers are flitting u|) an i down the aisles wliik ' tiie visitors sit wln-re they please. The college orchestra is waiting in the |)it. Being osteopaths they are boning over their notes. The violinists are stringing their instruments. The corr.etist blows out one ha — his neighbor tui)a. .Vnd .so it goes while they wait lor the signal to start. At last the facults- i. dressed and the Seniors are not far behind — in fact a couple of them are ahead of the faculty in their nervousness. Someone waves a sleeve of a gown as a signal — and they ' re off. Not the gown but the academic procession, ' hat a glorious sight. The robin hides behind the laurel hush. He ' s mortified. Out they march along the froiil of the college and up the steps to the auditorium. Some step on their gowns and jjull off their collars. They are not accustomed to wiiat the well dressed man is wear- ing. . n(l now they ' re ou the stage and the P S I s 19 3 4 Seniors are pacing do n Uie aisles. Tlie orchestra has gone through their selection three times and it looks like a fourth down. And now the first test, the invocation. Whether to take off their caps or not, that is the cjuestion. It ' s over and 50 per cent still are wearing caps. They feel flustered and take them off just as the others are putting theirs on again. It ' s now 90 in the shade and 98 in the auditorium. The janitor evidently has gotten up the steam he started in Feb- ruary. It ' s weakening. Even the plants are potted. WTien the faculty gets awake the oration is over and the last roll call is being made. This is the Mae West signal of come up and see me. As the names are called, the Seniors one by one come on the stage for the coveted diploma. Some fall up, some knock over the potted plants ' cause they fern through such exercises before. Each Senior is awarded a diploma in his left hand and has his right hand shaken by the Dean. The left-handed students shake the diploma and are given the Dean as an award. The applause is vociferous for the first dozen students. Gradually it gets weaker until the applause for the last Senior amounts to a roll call of his family present. Flowers are carried forward for the girl graduates. The orchestra thinks it ' s an ovation for them and strikes up the Alma Mater. This is another test. The faculty move their lips and hunt for the words on the program and the Seniors mumble to them- selves. Other students present take it as a cue to leave — for safety ' s sake at least. And now comes the exit march. It sounds much like the opening number but it ' s too hot to differentiate clearly. AMio is to leave first ? The faculty waits for the Seniors and the Seniors wa it for the faculty. The ferns are sprucing up — they know it won ' t be long. Finally everybody turns around to their neighbor and says Well. The Professor of Romance Language tears off his perspir- ation-soaked gown and blushes as he re- members he left off his shirt. And every- one looks for an exit. Commencement is over.
