In Dr. Paul T. Lloyd we find a man unaffected by these inconsistencies; a man generously endov ed with all the several qualities which are the hallmark of a gentleman, a scholar, and a physician; a man respected and admired by all who enjoy the privilege of his acquaintance and friendship. His disposition impresses itself upon all who come in contact with him, not only for his quiet, friendly dignity, but for a certain ethical self-assurance which is so much a part of his manner, emulated by many, by very few attained. His work is at all times of first consideration, taking precedence over all his other interests; his working hours are twenty-four a day, seven days a week. It is entirely due to his efforts and enthusiasm that our department of Radiology enjoys the distinction of being the finest and most completely equipped in the city of Philadelphia. Yet in the face of great professional prominence and many honors deservin gly con- ferred upon him as a result of years of valuable work in his specialty, he maintains himself first and foremost a professor of Osteopathy. His faith in and love for the institution to which he has already given so much, are shown in the pride with which he identifies himself with it. In many ways has credit due to himself been reflected upon the College of which he is a son. Every one of us owes a great debt. May we be inspired by the example of this generous and unassuming man to make good our obligations. His own he has more than repaid. And so in some small measure of appreciation and esteem we, the Class of 1937, dedicate our Year Book to a great Radiologist, a physician, and a friend. . . . PAUL TURNER LLOYD. 1936 pnapgig DR. PAUL LLOYD Page Five 1930 Piuipsis tKl)eme WE PRESENT this volume, not as a mere book, an addition to a library, or an ornament, but as a tribute to the Science of Osteopathy, and in particular to our own College. The plan of our book has been chosen to represent the traditions upon which our Science has, from its earliest beginnings, been founded, and the firm establish- ment of its tenets, in the sincere hope that these traditions and teachings may never be allowed to wane, but always remain in the memory of its followers. It is with pride that we, the Class of 1937, present the SYNAPSIS for 1936. Page Six 1936 PttapSis Contents!

J. Snyder and Mason W. Pressly, early disciples of Andrew Taylor Still, first conceived the idea of founding a center in the East for the teaching of their profession. Accordingly rooms were rented in the Stephen Girard Building, and the insti- tution, incorporated under the name of the Philadelphia College and Infirmary of Osteopathy, received its start. The classes were naturally at first small, the first group graduating in the year 1901, trained and taught almost exclusively by the founders themselves, who, together with one secretary, ran every department of the institution. The Dean at this time was Dr. McCurdy, a grand gentleman and a true Osteopath, whose memory will ever be honored. In 1904 a series of changes began, due to the combined effects of the growth of the school and to financial embarrassment. From the Witherspoon Building, P. C. O. ' s second home, to the building ever after known as 33rd and Arch, in 1906, were the next two moves, and from here the college moved north to 715 North Broad Street. During this period, the student body being by no means large enough that their fees would support the college, the burden of expense was largely shared by the leading members of the faculty. Osteopathy at this time enjoyed but little recognition, and had a large and critical medical fraternity to pit itself against. The courage of these men who staked their all in order to give Osteopathy the Page Ten growth and rights they felt it deserved is inspiring to us of a later and more enlight- ened generation. It is interesting to note at this point that Dr. O. J. Snyder still owns those same offices in the Witherspoon Building that were the scene of so many of Osteopathy ' s early trials and difficulties. In those days there were but one class- room and but few laboratory facilities, all work being of a didactic nature. From an enrollment of thirty-five students at the 33rd and Arch building, the college had now grown, until at Broad and Columbia, the number now stood at about 60. In spite of great opposition from the medical profession, the students enjoyed the privileges and use of first the Philadelphia School, and later, the Har- vey School, of Anatomy. Some laboratories were modestly eguipped, and even the stables of the building were transformed into a gymnasium for the use of the students. Dr. Charles J. Muttart records an amusing incident, when he conceived the idea of photographing the college building from a certain position which incor- porated in the picture the rather imposing dome of a building in the background, the result of which, he reports, added considerably, if rather misleadingly, to the appearance of our modest building. Some surgery was performed at the college at this time, the dissection room being called into service, sometimes at short notice, for this purpose! The scene of activity changed once more, in 1911, to 9th and Pine Streets, the college being now under the Deanship of Dr. Arthur M. Flack, whose term of office lasted until 1924, a space of fifteen years. Here is a man to whom more than ordi- nary credit is due. He tcok over the controlling office at a time when the college was passing through one of its most critical phases; for the next few years all the brunt of criticism, responsibility, and financial liability were imposed upon this one rxjlfopt Toad Street Page Eleven man, and it is due to him that the institution has risen from its then insignificant status to the flourishing concern of which Philadelphia is so proud today. The course had by now been extended from its original two years of ten months each to four years of eight months. Surgery was now included, being taught by Drs. Pennock and Bashline, the former at this early date not yet performing surgery himself, the latter owning today the fine hospital at Grove City, Pennsylvania. The amphitheatre was only an improvised affair, since the first Osteopathic Hospital was not founded until 1911, on South Ninth Street. Realizing the need for expansion a campaign for funds was begun, resulting in the acguisition of the building at Nineteenth and Spring Garden Streets, where a fifty-bed hospital was erected behind the college building, eguippsed with our first permanent amphitheatre. This marked an important point in the establishment of the institution, since this was the first building the organization had actually owned — all its previous homes having been rented. The faculty now enjoyed the suppiort and teaching ability of such men as O. J. Snyder, C. D. Balbirnie, Arthur M. Flack, Charles Muttart, D. S. B. Pennock, J. Ivan Dufur, Wm. Nichol, E. G. Drew, and Wm. Otis Galbreath, many of whom are now nationally known figures both in and outside of Osteopathic circles. It is not our intention to include in this tale statistics, figures, and extended flights of eulogy. For these purposes the Catalogue is more than adequate. At this point, however, it is most fitting to comment on the most extraordinarily success- tgiz S irfciStrcdt ' Page Twelve i9 r j[p s ond px jncf Oarden ' trzct vincfOa ful financial achievement in Osteopathic history. We refer to the inauguration of a series of campaigns, the first in 1916 for the further eguipment of the existing h os- pital. Three years later a second campaign was held, and in 1923 a third, which it must be admitted, realized far more than had dared been hoped for. The following year was heralded by a loss to the college, occasioned by the retirement of Dr. Flack, after fifteen years of Deanship. Under the leadership of this man, the college had now risen from a small, struggling, underprivileged school to a thriving, solvent institution. As his successor. Osteopathy in the East was fortunate to acguire the untiring services of Dr. Edgar O. Holden, one of the college ' s own graduates of 1922. A young man when he accepted the position, he lost no time in adding his efforts to those of his predecessor, and under his guidance the graduating classes continued to increase in size, and the buildings continued to improve. The curriculum was constantly widened, new subjects and courses being introduced to conform with State requirements, for the institution was now incor- porated under the laws of Pennsylvania. As a result, each succeeding year the col- lege was producing more fully trained physicians, and the Profession was receiving the benefit of their broadened training. Laboratory and clinic facilities were better eguipped, the hospital was filled to capacity, and the Staff were constantly over- taxed to give attention to the growing demands of the sick and needy. The capacity of the 19th and Spring Garden building was proven insufficient. Renting buildings had resulted in heavy indebtedness in the early days of the school; the bought building had only fulfilled needs until the institution swelled to over- Page Thirteen iC)Zp r -d pruee treats flowing proportions. The solution remaining was to build our own home. Accord- ingly a fourth campaign was instituted in 1929, which resulted in the goal of a million dollars being exceeded by several thousands. A plot of land was purchased on the northeast corner of 48th and Spruce Streets and few will forget the pride and prayers felt when the foundations of the present institution were laid. Our last illustration shows to some extent the beauty of the great building which was to be the head- quarters of Osteopathy in the Eastern states. The wise choice of Collegiate Gothic as the style of the new building was cleverly adapted to permit of wide expansion at any future time when circumstances permit. Visitors and new arrivals to the college and hospital cannot fail to be impressed by this magnificent building, modern in every conceivable degree and with an organization enviable throughout the world of Osteopathy. Through the energy of a real leader, already with more than ten years of Deanship behind him, and through the mechanism of an expertly organized Department of Public Relations, the name of Osteopathy is becoming gloriously associated with Philadelphia, the city where Osteopathy, Missouri-born, has spent a hard-fought but forever wonderful youth. Our chronicle is ended. Insufficient and superficial as it is, we present it for those who bear with us this far, to help them realize that, as Shakespeare wrote, Things were not ever thus. What we see today is the result of years of toil and heartache, yet those men to whom we owe the preservation of the name we one day hope to claim, ask no more than Floreat P. C. O. Page Fourteen X936 pnapsig Cfje College Page Fifteen 103(3 : l ' lliipSlS (Greetings to tljc Class of 1036 A WIDE interest and a marked enthusiasm have followed upon the an- nouncement of your College that it would require a higher standard of preliminary education commencing September 1937, and that it further would proceed to matriculate students in the future on the basis of a selection emphasizing character, personality, moral and physical fitness for professional study and certain other attributes in addition to the customary demand for credentials attesting adequacy of scholastic preparation. As a consequence of this edict pertaining to standards, there has also been issued a proclamation which calls for a Fund-Raising Program involving a goal of One Million Dollars to be obtained over a Thirteen Year Period, looking to its consummation at the time of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Founding of the College. It should be clear to all of us that these decrees, coming at this time in the life of our institutions, indicate a temperament on the part of those in charge to meet the issue of requirements and needs squarely. While the measures hold in store for all of us some degree of privation and constraint, we should suffer these with a full sense of realization that in our acts of indulgence and due humility we will the sooner better our ends and more completely fulfill the higher purposes to which our Alma Mater is committed. The magnificent College and Hospital buildings, whose facilities and oppor- tunities we enjoy at this time, were dedicated as recently as the year 1930. In the brief span of six years these notable acquisitions have been occupied to the limit of capacity and privilege. Of this, as a class which entered in the fall of 1932, you are especially aware. You have both consciously and subconsciously observed the elements of achievement, of development, of material progress being filtered into the picture of operation of these units. Thus at this signal turning-point in the history of the College, you stand to become the class of useful conversion to an improved order of things. From the experiences gained in the administration of affairs during your residency here it is to be expected that the dawn of a new era in osteopathic education may be revealed. The knowledge of the quiet, dutiful role played by you in such an unfolding may properly be taken as an index of the fine organization service that it is possible to render without any pretension whatever. It should prove a source of great satisfaction to the Class of 1936, and remain as a monument for future reflection and copy. EDGAR O. HOLDEN, A.B., D.O., Dean. May 1936.

ANDREW TAYLOR STILL Page Twenty-nine Cljc (General Clinic W ' lTH an enthusiasm born of hopefulness, the director gladly pauses to greet the most recent additions to the clinical department; the student physicians in the class of 1937! It is this group which will have most to do with the osteopathic care of those under- privileged patients who will make 40,000 visits to the Outpatient Department, during 1936. It is this class that will render a distinctive health service to the poor who are maimed and ill. The Synapsis furnishes a very appropriate medium for a message from the Director of Clinics, to the student body of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy. Since the matter of clinical instruction in the scientific arts of osteopathy revolves about the Outpatient Department, it is of interest to student and instructor alike, to briefly review the history and evaluate the ultimate objectives of the practical phases of curricular activities. Until 1932, clinical operation was administered by a small number of the faculty. The patient first met a clerk who after admission assigned him to a student for professional care. Laboratory and radiographic diagnoses seldom were employed, after the sort of case history had been obtained. In circumstances of urgency, a graduate was called to facilitate the dis- position of the patient. Upx)n subsequent visits, other graduates, often unfamiliar with the case frequently answered student calls for help. The progress of the subject, the record of treatment and his ultimate disposal depended upon nothing more substantial than the student ' s memory. This system of instruction developed physicians of independence, who necessarily became alert and resourceful, but generally confused. Clinical statistics were inconsequential and the records unreliable. Since 1932, a new system of clinical instruction has emanated from a compact general staff of twenty-three graduates who supervise the work done in thirty-seven treating booths. The new patient meets at least five graduates during his first visit; routine laboratory work is done in every case, and carefully requisitioned special study is made not only in the Department of Radiology and Pathology but also in special clinics, manned by specially qualified and experi- enced instructors. Records are accurate, and each one contains the whole story of the patient, obtained by student and physician. Osteopathic spinal findings are available for clinical in- vestigation under the direction of the Department of Research. Directed rounds through the wards of the adjoining Osteopathic Hospital beca me an integral part of clinical instruction in October 1934. Statistics are periodically determined and all pertinent data may be obtained in any case at any time. The physician so trained, while less independent and less dogmatic than his predecessors, is nevertheless more thoroughly grounded and more experienced. The Board of Directors can be assured that it confers degrees only upon graduates whose efforts have been adequately supervised and meticulously rated. Under this regime, the volume of work quickly reached and subsequently surpassed the most optimistic estimate of the capacity of the outpatient department. Various refinements have assured almost personal tutelage for the student, wide experience for the staff and an unsurpassed health service for the underprivileged who are ill. As a result Osteopathy is rapidly gaining more favorable recognition in the community through its widespread network; meanwhile the profession, is accumulating statistics which are incontrovertible, illuminating and important. It is both a pleasure and a satisfaction for the director to report whole-hearted cooperation of staff and students in a clinical program which insures the future of a fine institution in a worthy profession. RALPH L. FISCHER, D.O., Director of Clinics, P. C. O. Page Thirty i DR. LONG MAKING A POSTURAL STUDY IN RESEARCH LABORATORY. OSTEOPATHIC RESEARCH MEDICAL concepts in general are so rapidly embracing much that has been considered part of the osteopathic domain that it is becoming imperative for us to immediately place before the scientific world, in writing based upon authoritative investigation, those tenets which we hold to be essentially osteopathic contributions. To those who know osteopathic principles, the following statement by Mayo and Adson will be highly significant: The etiology of numerous diseases is becoming known as knowledge increases concerning the anatomy and physiology of the autonomic nervous system. The altered function of this nervous system is not only responsible for certain diseases but undoubtedly determines the cause of many other diseases since it influences blood flow, smooth muscle activity, glandular activity and carries afferent pain fibers. The specific contribution of the osteopathic school has been the demonstration that structural and mechanical factors are often responsible, to a greater or lesser degree, for functional aberration in the autonomic nervous system, and that manipulation can aid in restoring balance in its activity. Such demonstration began with clinical observation and upon this basis was started experimental investigation. Such experimental studies have reached no large proportions, but those already consummated have afforded a view of the vast panorama of unexplored territory which is open for analysis and which can be properly investi- gated only by those with osteopathic training. The true purpose of medical research in any school is not to prove or disprove a particular philosophy, but to contribute to the general fund of knowledge concerning health and disease, and thereby establish a heritage upon which future advances may be carried foreward. Such, indeed, is the purpose to which this department in your institution is dedicated. FREDERICK A. LONG. Page Thirty-one n 1930 S Piiapsis A NEW PEDIATRIC PATIENT THE PEDIATRIC DEPARTMENT THERE is perhaps no department in the field of Osteopathic practice in which a thorough knowledge of the fundamental principles is more essential than in Pediatrics. We are attempting, in our course, to establish fundamental facts concerning the nutritional needs ot infants; the most that any type of feeding can accomplish is to fulfill these needs. In my opinion, there are no short-cuts to practical therapy, intelligent treatment whether it be rational or empirical depends upon a thorough understanding of the requirements of the infant. So important is the relationship of infection to nutrition that much time is spent on the sub- ject. An infant suffering with an unrecognized otitis media cannot be made to thrive by merely changing a feeding formula, nor on the other hand, can an infant be expected to overcome the infection unless the diet is an adequate one. Our course includes immunology, in childhood, preventive pediatrics, allergy, and all diseases of the respiratory, gastrointestinal, genito-urinary, circulatory and nervous systems. In the Pediatric Clinic we endeavor to exhibit various types of children ' s diseases, with their osteopathic lesions; and demonstrate osteopathic treatment and other therapeutic measures. RUTH ELIZABETH TINLEY, D.O. Page T iirty-two DR. EDWARD G. DREW OPERATING THE DEPARTMENT OF GYNECOLOGY WHEN the Class of 1911 entered the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy in 1908, we found several well-organized courses awaiting us. All of these were, however, only- didactic courses except anatomy. Dr. Eva Blake was appointed Professor of Gyne- cology in 1908. A Dr. Carter had the Chair previously. Dr. Blake lectured once a week throughout the year for one hour. There were no clinical facilities until 1910 when the College took over the clinic 1617 Fairmount Avenue, which had been established a few years previously by a group of Osteopathic physicians. The Class of 1911 scraped the paper from the walls of two of the rooms, painted the wood- work and made it possible for the opening of an Obstetrical Clinic. During the winter of 1910 and 1911 we had a few Obstetrical cases which were cared for by Dr. Pennock. When the College moved to 9th and Pine Streets, Dr. Curran taught Gynecology, assisted by Dr. Medlar. They were not surgeons and taught only from a book standpoint. There was little or no clinical teaching. Dr. Pennock and myself did the necessary surgery which, however, was very little. The development of the Chair of Gynecology dates from our move to 1715 Spring Garden Street and later to 19th and Spring Garden Streets. In 1920 the Chair of Gynecology was given to me and later Obstetrics was combined in the one department. Looking back it is a pleasure to see the contrast from so little to so much. To-day, we have ample material both for clinical teaching from the Osteopathic standpoint and also for surgical demonstrations. The department has developed several who are teaching today and trusts that the future may add to the achievements of the past. EDWARD G. DREW, D.O. Page Thirty-three SERIAL ROENTGENOGRAPHIC STUDY DEPARTMENT OF RADIOLOGY THE ever widening scope of medical radiology compels our attention to matters pertaining to the teaching of the subject to the undergraduate student and the graduate physician desirous of devoting his entire time to the practice of radiology as a specialty. It is the intent of the graduate school of this college to train a limited number of graduate students interested in the practice of radiology. No place is made for the short course or rapid manufacture of self-styled specialists; rather, the opportunities at hand will be placed before those who, possessing satisfactory qualifications, are willing to spend a minimum of two years in preparatory study. There has been recently created the American Board of Radiology, whose function and purpose of creation is to examine and qualify those who would specialize in radiology. This board will examine those who would qualify for the specialty, granting to those passing its examination a certificate of qualification as to fitness, and lastly by setting up a qualified list of radiologist this board will be doing much to protect the public against unqualified and irresponsible practitioners who would be known as radiologists. It is not likely that members of the osteopathic profession will be given an opportunity to qualify before the aforementioned board. Nevertheless, it behoves us to set our standards so that they will parallel, if not exceed, those of the older school of practice. We need radiologists and need them badly, but not at the high cost of inexperience from which may come but sorrow for the patient and disappointment and dissatisfaction to the physician. The mere possession of x-ray apparatus or a quantity of radium no more makes the radiologist than does a scalpel make the surgeon or a cystoscope, the urologist. The future is promising for the graduate wishing to specialize in radiology, providing the opportunities for attainment of knowledge are within reach. It is the desire and aim of your college to foster and make piossible such oppxirtunitles. PAUL T. LLOYD, D.O. Page Thirty-four 1936 B vmpm DR. H. WILLARD STERRETT OPERATING DEPARTMENT OF UROLOGY CLOSELY coordinated with the other clinics, the Department of Urology has steadily grown in size and efficiency. Regular Dispensary is on Monday, Wednesday and Friday after- noons with special and operative clinics on Tuesday. It is particularly gratifying to note the fact that not only the Clinicians of the Staff are aware, but also the practitioners at large are realizing that there is a much closer relationship between systemic conditions and the urological tract. With the splendid cooperation of the Roentgen- ological Department, a very remarkable series of studies, both urograms and pyelograms is being collected which has revealed many abnormalities hitherto unrecognized. Hence it is no wonder that the clinic is taxed to its capacity. Research work is being undertaken along lines definitely osteopathic, as regards the etiology of urological affections, and we do not hesitate to say that ere many years some startling con- clusions will be presented. Endowment of this department would go a long way to establishing many of the claims of Osteopathic principles. This field of urology offers such in the way of opportunity to a serious research pursuit. H. WILLARD STERRETT, D.O. Page Thirty-five 1030 :% ' Pnap5i6 PATHOLOGY MUSEUM DEPARTMENT OF PATHOLOGY THE principles of Visual Education are fundamental in Pedagogy and the Department of Pathology has exerted itself to apply these principles whereever possible. With the development of a museum there is afforded an opportunity to provide such teaching in an ideal way. Here, together with the other divisions of the museum, abundant classical examples of disease processes are exhibited to show their gross characteristics. Such gross pathology will go a long way in teaching what is wrong with the patient when he is ill. This information is sup- plemented in the laboratory by microscopic studies of the diseased organs and the clinical course of the disease. OTTEEBEIN DRESSIER, D.O.

New and advantageous legislation in New Jersey created an educational problem that has been very satisfactorily overcome through this department. By taking advantage of this oppor- tunity for further study, graduate physicians are enabled to equip themselves with knowledge that will secure the right to unlimited licensure in New Jersey, including a right to qualify for a surgical license; in addition to this, graduates of other states are provided with a source of learn- ing through which they can supplement their present information on the art of healing. Therefore, the creation of the Graduate School has filled a long-felt need, and, under the Deanship of Dr. Edgar O. Hclden, has opened a pathway for those physicians who are striving toward greater achievement and success. The course is of two years ' duration, lectures being held all day on two days a week. The course is supplemented with abundant demonstrations and practical work in the special clinics, and with Hospital ward rounds.

WARDEN Treasurer HERMAN KRAMM Student Council Case History No. 1936 NAME: Senior Class. Date: June, 1936. Age: Four years. Occupation: Sedentary. Nativity: U. S. A. Address: 48th and Spruce Streets. Ad- mitted: September, 1932. Discharged: June, 1936. Physician in Charge; Dr. Holden. Provisional Diagnosis: Observation. Final Diagnosis: Over-study. Condition on Discharge: Condition aggravated. Chief Complaint: Extreme thirst for knowledge; night sweats; frequent headaches; constant dizziness. Family History: Mother — earth; father — time; brethren — yea, yea; children — six females and ninety males; all living and well. Childhood Diseases: Innocent curiosity; decided tendency to ask impertinent questions. Accidents: Came to P. C. O. in fall of 1932. Has never completely recovered from that fall. Opera- tions: Attempt made to open eyes in September, 1932. Result of this to be seen soon. Other Operations: Incision and drainage of pockets at frequent intervals. Result — excellent yields. Habits: Quack — quack. Past Personal Health: Has always been failing. G. I. HISTORY: Appetite has always been good. Patient has never been able to digest afternoons. Has always had considerable dissension and frequent movements. Special likes — long vacations. Special dislikes — 8 o ' clock classes _ C. V. HISTORY: Patient complains frequently of palpation and dyspnea on slightest exertion. Extreme tiredness on arising in morning. Good rhythm. Constant dizziness. Frequent headaches. OBS. HISTORY: Patient was impregnated by an idea in the summer of 1932. Active labor began in September, 1932, and after four years of hard labor, a thought was born in June, 1936. NERV. AND MENTAL HISTORY: Patient suffers from delusions, both of persecution and grandeur. These are transient. Extreme excitability. Good response to suggestion. Imperfectly oriented as to time and place. On some occasions, he appears not to know that the War is over. Page Fifty-ieven 1030 :S i ' niipsis Progress Record FRESHMAN YEAR: Patient first communicated with Dr. Green concerning his case. He was summoned to meet with Dr. Holden and other staff members for registration. He was entrusted to the care of Dr. Green, who prescribed a thick red bottle of Gray ' s Anatomy, to be taken in large doses each night before retiring. This served to aggravate the headaches, night sweats and dizziness but the thirst for knowledge was temporarily relieved. After a dose of Dr. Green ' s potion, the patient found himself going superiorly, anteriorly, and inferiorly and on several occasions latergally and mej tally under the guidance of Drs. Weisbecker and Soden. Treatment was temporarily abandoned in June, 1933. SOPHOMORE YEAR: The patient returned in September and treatment was resumed. Dr. Green took charge once more but this time tried a new panacea as described by Howell. Dr. Dressier was called for consultation and he suggested that the patient suffered from the most horrible disease the flesh is heir to, but that it was nothing essentially new. The victim was, of course, still under observation and every conceivable test and examination was given but the diagnosis remained obscure. The symptoms grew worse except for the great thirst which had apparently disappeared. A course of treatment under Dr. Py left the patient confused and unable to differentiate anterior from bacteria . JUNIOR YEAR: The patient returned from a rest cure dizzier than ever. Before long the staff noticed considerable abominable dissension. The afflicted was sent to Dr. Fischer complaining of palpation. Dr. Fischer ' s treatment was rather vague and consisted of some sort of a philosophy. Dr. Rothmeyer upbraided the patient for hanging out at Budge ' s Eye Center. He could not definitely say that it was wrong; it was just the Principle of the thing. About this time a new complaint put in its appearance. The patient was disturbed by scotomata (spots before the eyes, to you, frosh). This was soon relieved by that man among men — Silas: he washed the windows. SENIOR YEAR: The staff allowed the patient but a part of his usual summer rest and pursued him with a concentrated series of treatments in the hospital and clinic. The patient then had another fall after which Dr. Holden ordered a retirement from social affairs and, in general, a total abstinence from all stimulants and pleasantries. The patient took these orders lightly and continued to romp and sing between treatments. This gave relief from the night sweats and headaches. In February, the patient decided to cooperate with the staff and received graciously all treatment afforded. However, after several months, he came to the conclusion that he must be his own physician. In this mood, he left Dr. Holden ' s care, his dizziness gone, his and head clear. PROGNOSIS: If at first you don ' t succeed, suck eggs. A. H. W. Page Fifty-eight Senior Mvtttotv Albeck, Elten C 11 Brookline B ' lvd., Brookline, Pa.

In the fall of 1935, we hopefully came together to experience what rumor would call the easiest year. In the entirely foreign, and should we say, indifferent amosphere of the Junior Room, we received our formal introduction to Drs. Fischer, Drew, J. F. Smith, Tinley, Kiser, Flack, Gruber, Riceman, and McHenry. We regret that our acquaintance with Dr. Kiser was interrupted by illness (perhaps if Dr. Kiser had had typical textbook typhoid fever, the case might have been presented in clinic). We would like to convey our thanks to Dr. Eaton, who filled his place so ably. Each new class is said to profit by changes in the curriculum, but we, an older class, feel an advantage in having had the privilege of contacting Dr. Lutz. Allow us, however, to congratulate Dr. Mellott and also Dr. McHenry, who fill completely a place that we felt would be so empty. The etiology of our transient cephalalgias has been diabetes insipidus (pardon. Dr. Green) mellitus, tachycardia, even cardiac fractures, modes of transmission and methods of control of abnormal reflexes. We perceived our condition become hallux valgus by contiguity, continuity, blood and lymph, accompanied by acute exacerbations of pyrexia, nausea, and vomiting. Recalling our freshman year, we are still wondering what the gutters are and what they are lateral to. We again call to memory a man, whom when we try to describe, we find ourselves at a loss for words. You ' ve recognized him, Howard Stoertz, B.S., Ch.E. As you probably know, the class of ' 37 always does things well. Do you remember the freshman formal? Have you noticed how well we golf, swim, run, high jump, and dance — not to mention our vocal accomplishments? We had our ups and downs with levers under the sunshine of Doctor Green ' s smile. Under his guidance we learned the whereabouts of muscles, where they come Page Eighty 1936 pnapsis from and where they go. Speaking where things come from, Dr. Ambler and Mr. Moody enUghtened our darkness. The freshman luncheon, a gift of the dean of our class, served to acguaint us with the cordiality and personality of our Alma Mater. Fog, apathy, and general malaise marked the sophomore year which waS freely interspersed with guizzes. Due to cerebral lethargy we finally arrived at the point where our knowledge was just below the level of consciousness, and try as we would, we could bring it no further. Mental disorders have been very prominent during this our third stage of labor. We ' ll need a great deal of help in our fourth. After all most of us are primipara, but we are so young. Everyone will long remember the success of the 1936 Junior Prom. Due to various factors restricting our activities, the small size of the class being the chief of these, we broke away from Penn A. C. tradition, and held the dance at the Warwick Hotel, on Friday, April 3rd. Fortunate indeed we were in obtaining the well-known orchestra of Jan Savitt for the occasion, and from the moment the guests set foot in the ball- room, that foot started tapping and wouldn ' t stop hll 2 A. M., when sheer fatigue, State restrictions, and the strains of the Savage Serenade put an end to the dancing. At midnight the Tap-dance of the Neo Honorary Society was held, followed by the formal introduction into the Society of the new members. The Class of 1937 takes this opportunity to congratulate the following men on their election: O. J. Snyder, D.O., D.Sc. (Ost.) William J. Furey C. Haddon Soden, D.O. Reed Speer Harold M.

JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE THE outstanding social event of the year at P. C. O. is the Junior Prom, an annual affair given by the Junior Class in honor of the Senior Graduating Class. The committee is classically composed of the president of the class, a representative of each fraternity on the college campus, and two non-fraternity representatives. This year the dance, which will be remembered as the best organized and most successful for many years, was held at the Hotel Warwick, Friday, April 3rd. Music was furnished by Jan Savitt and his new and nationally known orchestra. Tapping by the Neo Honorary Society was carried out at midnight.

DONALD AVERY President JANE ISENBERG Secretary CLIFFORD McCLINTOCK Treasurer ALEXANDER URBONT Student Council W ' HEN the class of ' 38 registered as freshmen they became the cynosure of the upper classes, members of the college faculty and hospital staff. The usual ease and peace of mind of entering classes was soon erased as it was made known that we were the first class that were required, upon applying for admission, to have first obtained at the Pre-Osteopathic School, or elsewhere, the equivalent of a liberal arts college education. With the class ' on the spot, they proceeded to make the possible stigma, if we were to fall below expectations, assume the proportions of a badge of honor. It was a year that we like to dedicate to the memory of Russel Willhide of Washington, D. C, who in all respects was one of us, but to whom He decided should be afforded the advantages of another realm. The class officers of our first year were Donald Avery, President; George Betts, Vice-President; Eleanor Boal, Secretary; Clifford McClintock, Treasurer; and Alexander Urbont, Student Council — under whose combined and able leadership the various activities of the class were well directed. The Annual Freshman Dance was given at the Stephen Girard Hotel, the entire school, faculty and many practising physicians being invited — all to dance to the music of an orchestra that later in the year was acclaimed the outstanding one in Philadelphia. At the Christmas Assembly, we more than provided our share of entertainment with the freshman members of the school orchestra offering musical selections, and a member of the class (whom has since entered the theatrical field) offering several characterizations. The Annual Class Day in February witnessed a presentation by the class to the school and hospital in the form of the electrical hospital sign on the lawn — this being an act of appreciation towards the school in return for all that they have done in the past and for that which they will do for us in the future. The second year — this year of sophomores, this year of wise-fools, started as every other such year in a professional school. A roster crowded with amazingly difficult subjects, yet elemental in respect to what is to follow. But Page Eighty-nine n 1030 S ' l ' iiapsis this was soon relegated into the past as we jumped in and out of laboratory coats, open and shut various volumes that led to further complexities, ran from laboratories to lecture rooms and back again — trying first to be present, and when present not to show the effect of the previous night ' s studying — by staying awake. Again this destined class stood well to the fore scholastically and sportingly. In the interclass swimming events there was a sophomore either in first or second place. In interclass football- of the touch variety but plenty rough — we showed the way to the other classes. Then more anatomy (dissection, topographical, visceral, pathological and nervous, with the near end — result of nervous prostration), physiology, p.-chem, pathology, bacteriology, technigue and principles — Fate disguised as examinations and guizzes kept rotating before us, faster and faster as mid-years approached and passed, and with it that phantasmagoria that wrought us up to a state of frenzy. The class of ' 38 wishes to congratulate the graduating members of the school, knowing that they will be a credit to the profession, and also offer our thanks to the class of ' 37, through whose graciousness we are allotted this space, and through whose efforts this volume was made possible.

' . .Vice-President JOHN DREW Treasurer RAYMOND RUBERG Student Council ONE bright September morning, a group of young men and women, aspiring to be the class of 1939 of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy, assemble. The greetings of some of this group, Did you pass the State Boards? easily identifies them as the surviving members of last year ' s Pre-Osteopathic class. They naturally exhibit an attitude of Chez-moi toward P. C. O. The rays of the sun dance on the keys, crests and emblems adorning others, indicating educational achievements and honors obtained elsewhere. They have had diverse educational experiments, but after all have decided that Osteopathy offers a real opportunity for service in an uncrowded professional field. We speedily discover that Anatomy will be the greatest of our worries. The B section works overtime with Dr. Rothmeyer and now have a snap in their fingers. We also discover that Osteology, Myology and Angiology courses were originated by a promoter of endurance contests. Professor Erb adds little to our peace of mind. In our nightmares, he constructs the skeletal frame- work of pyramids and mountains. He builds them higher and higher with structural formulae until we are lost in the ethereal mists and fogs. But we hear his reassuring (?) voice, ' Tt ' s easy — so simple — all will soon clear up. Dr. Hartman proves to us that he has more lines than the captivating Macaulay. Who suggested that data on Dr. George ' s cases ought to be sold to Judge and, with the profits realized, place the subjects in an institution? We have a hard time getting Dr. Green on his point, and we decline to take Mr. Senior up on his wager. The freshman class, or at least a part of it, love to spend the hour w ith Dr. Cressman. Many delightful sessions are spent sitting guietly at our tables, peering intently into our microscopes, seeing little and drawing less, but invariably appearing extremely busy. When the lights are low and we hopefully wait for Mickey Mouse, Dr. Ambler and Mr. Moody present area vasculosa, area pellucida, and three germ layers. {Continued on page 96) Page Ninety-three 1936 ;% i ' iiapsts Jfrcsiljman ZDirectorp Allen, P.

Faculty vs. Students, we notice such potential champions as Ulrich, Jones, and Hickman. The turnout for basketball practice was quite large and foretells a potent varsity team in the near future (Ulrich, Swift, Suliotis, Jealous, Tomei, McDaniel, McCauley, G. Moore). Since athletics is a minor in this, a professional school, it is impossible to concentrate on practice, and their enthusiasm and success is commendable. The upper classmen kindly inform us that although the freshman year is hard, the sophomore year is more difficult. We hear weird tales of the jungles of Nervous Anatomy, Chemistry, Pathology, etc.; then, as juniors, we will be admitted to the upper circle, and at last in the senior year will have the title DOCTOR.

JUNIOR WOMEN ' S OSTEOPATHIC ASSOCIATION AT THE onset of the fall semester in 1935, it seemed to be the concensus of opinion among the women of P. C. O. that the goal of th e sororities might better be gained by amalgamation. The idea was ushered into being at a tea given by the upper class women at which the women of the freshman and pre-osteopathic classes were guests. It was upon this enjoyable occasion, on a Sunday afternoon late in September, that the plans for the conceived organization were announced. It was agreed that the two upper class women, Helen Ellis and Alberta Johnson who enjoyed the distinction of being presidents of the pre-existing sororities should occupy jointly the presidential chair, with Ruth Sharpe as secretary and Marianne Tracy as treasurer. During the time that remained in 1935, meetings were held at which women officially associated with P. C. O. spoke. The movement was strengthened by the expressed and active approval of such women of the profession who knew of it. The organization did not become an active body until January 1936. At the meeting on the 29th of that month, the good wishes of the faculty were announced and a constitution was read and approved.

STUDENT COUNCIL THE existence of the Student Council tends to synchronize the functional activities between the administration and the student body, thus maintaining an efficient and, as time has proven, worthwhile inter-relationship. The Council is composed of nine members, the members being the presidents of each of the four classes of the college proper, and another non-official class member, and a ninth member, the president of the Student Council, elected by class vote.

NEURONE SOCIETY THIS society is unique, due to the fact that it boasts a member- ship that includes every student in P. C. O. Organization of this society took place on February 24, 1902, and since then it has sponsored both social and scientific programs that have become an indispensable part of the extra-curricular life of every student. The declared objects of the society comprise the development of osteopathic organization, the promotion of interest in scientific subjects, and the establishment of good fellowship among students. Expenses that arise from the presentation of social programs are defrayed from the student activity fee. These few facts demonstrate clearly just why the Neurone Society has secured such an eminent position among our college organizations.

NEO SENIOR HONORARY SOCIETY THE Neo Society was founded at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy in 1924, the purpose of this society being to promote general student activities, athletic interests, and extra-curricular activities — thereby obtaining a resultant spirit of camaraderie among the profession at large. This society is non- scholastic, the members being selected on a basis of extra-curricular accomplishments and personal initiative in relation to the social phases of student life at P. C. O. Page One Hundred Fifteen T l ' t 36 s i ' iiapsis igma iSilpha dDmicron AN HONORARY scholastic society established at the Philadelphia Col- lege of Osteopathy in June 1924. To be eligible for membership a senior student must have maintained a general average of 90 during each of the three and one-half years of his professional study and in addi- tion attended 90 per cent of all required classes. Gold keys and certificates are awarded to those meeting the requirement. The following students were selected from the Class of 1935: Per Cent Ida C. Schmidt 92 . 45 William S.

The original sponsor, Dr. Drew, who now holds the chair of Gynecology at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy, has co- operated with the society and helped carry out the original purpose of the society — that of stimulating research relative to obstetrics and gynecology. Periodic meetings convene at which various physicians promi- nent in this branch of the practice of osteopathy contribute practical information gathered from their wide experience. Junior students are annually elected after passing a competitive examination in the practice of obstetrical medicine. CLIFFORD WARD, President CORY WALLING, Vice-President S. B. JONES, Secretary B.

CARDIO-VASCULAR SOCIETY THE Cardio-Vascular Society is one of the distinctive organ- izations of the campus. This society ante-dates to 1931, being formed by a group of men with the purpose of promoting interest in clinical diagnosis and detailed study of cardiac and pulmonary pathologies. Undeniably, the purpose of this society with the generous cooperation of the Honorary Faculty Members has been fulfilled an infinitum. Membership EDMUND THOMAS, President MORRIS BEAL, Sec.-Treas.

Rothmeyer Gastroenterological Society was founded by Dr. Ralph Davis for the advancement of the study and practice of gastroenterology in our college and hospital. Each year fifteen members of the junior class are selected to membership on the basis of their interest in the subject, and their willingness to devote time to research in that field. This society holds two monthly meetings at which time problems of gastric and intestinal disorders are discussed. Practical demonstrations of the use of the duodenal and gastric lavage tubes are given by members of the hospital staff. At chosen times, open meetings are held at which guest speakers, leaders in the field of gastroenterology, are presented.

PEDIATRICS SOCIETY OCTOBER 25, 1934, saw the inauguration of a new society composed of thirty members of the junior class, and under the direction of Kenneth Ryland, into the roll of chapters of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy. The object of this society is to stimulate a further interest in pediatrics and the osteopathic therapy applied therein. The most fundamental principle in the practice of pediatri cs is built upon the observation of the reaction of the infantile physi- ological mechanism to the pathologic and physiologic environment, thereby gauging the therapy required.

Willard Sterrett, professor of Urology. The purpose of the society is to foster increased interest and to promote further study, both clinical and didactic, in the subject of Genito- urinary diseases as viewed Osteopathically. The group has been most active in the realization of this purpose throughout the past year, not only in stimulating activity within its own membership, but in introducing able urologists to the entire student body in its many open meetings in the attempt to broaden the students ' knowledge regarding this important subject. The members of this society are chosen each spring from the Junior class, their acceptance being determined by the grading of theses presented, together with a vote by the active members.

DIG-ON SOCIETY THROUGHOUT the college year the Dig-On Society holds weekly meetings in an attempt to obtain more thorough knowledge of the concepts of osteopathy and the principles of osteopathic technigue. Programs consist of presentations by the members and demon- strators of osteopathic technique, along with numerous guest speakers — thus, further impetus is given us to Dig-On. Membership is limited to junior and senior students. During the latter half of the second semester, twelve members are selected from the sophomore class and placed on probation until they have proven their interest by their work in the Society.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION THE Athletic Association, governed by a graduate committee, is composed of a president, vice-president and secretary- treasurer. It is active in stimulating an interest in athletics and creating the teams to fulfill it. Every student in P. C. O. is given a chance for physical exercise whether he has been active in athletics before or not. For this reason teams range from varsity, through interclass to interfraternity. All students not interested in competitive sports are offered the privileges of the Y. M. C. A. The costs of this are defrayed from the general activity fee paid by the student. This is inclusive of the gym, swimming pool, lockers, etc. During the year, awards are made in student assemblies to deserving persons and teams. Varsity and freshman awards are made at the annual athletic banguet. MARTIN M. SCHNOLL, President LAWRENCE BEAL, Vice-Pres. ELLIOTT DISBROW, Sec.-Treas.

BASKETBALL DUE to a change of coaches following the first game, an entirely new regime was instituted under the direction of Coach Jimmy Dessen. A veteran team, composed of juniors and seniors, led by Captain George Hylander, ran into a long losing strea ' . which it finally broke by winning the last two games of the season. Among its losses were one by 1 point, one by 2, one by 3 and another by 5. Mutt Schnoll, ex-captain, led the sea- son ' s scoring while Bill Furey, co-captain-elect with Art Bunting for ' 36- ' 37, was high for a single game with 17 points in the season ' s finale.

Through their cooperation we have been able to arrange a schedule far in advance of that of any previous year, including some thirteen games, among them colleges from con- siderable distances. For the first time also we are in the position of being able to entertain Boston College and the University of Western Maryland as our guests here in Philadelphia. The team has suffered only one loss since last season, and Charles Hillyer, Donald Gibbs, Harry Kerr and Joe Hughes are still with us, their form greatly improved over last season ' s stand- ing. We are strengthened this year by the inclusion of Donald Ulrich from Kent, Ohio, newly enrolled Freshman, and with this nucleus of experienced players our hopes run high.

TENNIS LOOKING back on the 1935 season Osteopathy showed very httle expression as to winning matches. The 1936 team, with the same personnel as the previous year and with the experience of the past season, the Osteopathic team will no doubt reach or nearly reach the high standing of the team a few years back. Dr. Carl Fischer, intercollegiate champion of a few years ago, has generously accepted the responsibility of coaching the team.

Five meets were scheduled, and two of these were cancelled. The se ason ended with two victories and one defeat. The first meet was with West Chester Teachers ' College, resulting in a victory for the Doctors, 35-24. Although West Chester won the relay, this lead was shortly overcome, as Lubin and Hylander made a clean sweep in the dashes. Flocco had very little difficulty in winning the dive, besides winning the breast- stroke. Perry swam well in the 220-yard to win easily. The second meet of the season was with Villanova at Villanova. Osteopathy met its first defeat, 38-28. It was a closely contested meet throughout, although we got off to a good start in winning the relay. Our third and last meet was a return meet with Villanova at the West Phila- delphia Branch Y. M. C. A. This proved to be a thriller, and was not decided until the last event. The final score read 33-33. Osteopathy, having won the relay, won the meet. Although the meets were few and far between, a keen interest was shown throughout the season by all the members. Captain Bud Hylander, Si Lubin, and Ruggerio Rocco were the constant point winners. H. Burnard swam well in the breaststroke, placing second in two meets. Perry, a Pre-O, did well in the relay and 220. A. Burnard, Koch, and Pulker deserve much credit for swimming in events to which they were not accustomed.

HMU THE PROBATE NURSES Page Ore Hundred Thirty-four 1936 pnapsiis THE HOSPITAL LOBBY THE DELIVERY ROOM Page One Hundred Thirty-five Ui- 1930 :S i ' nap5is Jfinb 3t, Jfix Hit — By Russell C. Erb JOHNNY BLACK got his sheephide frcm an osteopathic institution and with the help of a finance company opened an office. Pa- tients came and patients went in the course of several years. Johnny was determined to find the lesion. He looked all over for it; in the mouth, under the table and over the hills. But lo and behold, (whatever you have to hold) he never found it— the lesion. He twisted his patients around and around and they came out well. But Johnny was a persistent so-and-so. He had a dogged personality — everyone said he was going to the dogs. Like an automobile with a blow-out, he plugged on tirelessly. He would never give up the ship, not even his canoe. Friends jokingly called him old man LePage because he had such stick-to-itive- ness. After thirty years of continual looking for the lesion Johnny had success. There it was, a second dorsal, so large and perfect that he could give his naked eye a coat and two pairs of pants. At last he found a lesion— but the patient died. Johnny Brown was the cause of another sheep losing its skin. He was determined to fix lesions, a mender of everything out of align- ment. All his patients had lesions. Like Mae West, they stuck out all over. He fixed and fixed. His was hard work, pure manual labor. He toiled and toiled with no time to spin. The same patient came back for more fixing and Doctor Brown got blue in the face from over- work. He was a true general practitioner with no time left for specialization. Not even Obs. work; how could you speculum to? His over- work caused his death at the age of 39, dis- proving the old theory that life begins at 40. Another doctor from the same osteopathic institution is today enjoying several foreign- made cars, a summer and a winter estate, two yachts (with a corresponding lease on a por- tion of the high seas), membership in exclusive country clubs and political innmunity from mistakes in practice. In short, he is a most successful doctor, is Doctor Johnny Green. He belongs to the Lions ' Club, the Elks, the Moose and the Owls to such an active degree that he is afraid to visit the zoo. His fraternal affiliation would give a Greek typesetter palsy. What is the reason for this doctor ' s phenome- nal success? The answer does not lie in find- ing lesions; he never looks for them. Neither does his success lie in fixing lesions — how can he when he never finds them? No, gentle and rough readers, this doctor has become a nota- ble, outstanding osteopathic physician because he leaves his patients alone. He adheres to the osteopathic concept that Nature will take care of herself. All his hats are off to this Dcme Nature or Mother Nature, although we didn ' t know she was married. Find it, yes — fix it, yes ma ' am, — but if you want to be really successful, just let it alone. Page One Hundred Thirty-iix i 1936 pnapSis!

This year the Penn Athletic Club was again the scene, and February 22nd, Washington ' s Birthday, the occasion. Holiday mood was introduced by the hold- ing of Founders ' Day exercises in the College Auditorium on the morning of the Ball, when Dr. Chester D. Swope was guest speaker, and several degrees were conferred on certain members of the Faculty. The Banquet was held in the Ballroom prior to the dance, and over 500 guests sat in the beautifully decorated room, dining to the music and entertainment of Jimmy Littlefield ' s orchestra. Music was furnished for the Ball by the well- known New York orchestra of Clyde Lucas, with Carlotta Dale as soloist. The band ' s selec- tions for the half-hour ' s Nation-wide broadcast were tremendously appreciated, their versa- tile renderings attracting a huge crowd around the stage during the recital. The evening was concluded with the drawing of the tickets of the lucky winners of the grand gifts donated through the organizers of the Charity Ball of 1936.

Westbrook Publishing Co. 5800 NORTH MERVINE STREET PHILADELPHIA PENNSYLVANIA rm 1030 s i iiap5is rUnotDlfbgmcntsi OUR book is now iinished. We would not presume to call it complete, but at all events it represents the outcome of months of work, not unaccompanied by heartaches. Alone we could not have done what we here present. And so the Editors of the Synapsis for 1936 wish to take this opportunity of thank- ing those who, unseen and uncredited, have contributed to the book. Material for the History of the Philadelphia College was obtained through the kindness and patience of Dr. Arthur M. Flack and Dr. Charles J. Muttart. Without their cooperation our task would have been well-nigh impossible. Our thanks for the fine work done by the whole Editorial Staff: to David Young, Bob Barnes, and John Morresy for their help in the Literary sections, to Reed Speer for the excellent way he man- aged the Photography, to Marian Tracy for her original Art Draw- ings, and to Thomas Fleming, William Soden, and William Tannen- baum for their good work in helping organize the Book and manage the business connected with its production. The drawings, Professional Profiles, are the work of Ruth Cook. We are especially grateful to Mr. Dwight Barnes of the West- brook Publishing Company, whose opinions and guidance were invaluable, and to whom goes a large share in the credit for the successful production. Our thanks to Merin-Baliban for the very fine photography in this volume. We thank also the members of Dr. D ' Elisgu ' s office for their kindness in cooperating with the Editors at all times. And, lastly, we tender our appreciation to the Class of 1937, for their continued interest in the production of our Book. Page One Hundred Forty-four
