ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY . ,-, r ' ■ pv : ?t. 1 ' ! i W 22| ' J£ t. . i ' .ja SYNAPSIS, 1937 DEAN EDGAR O. HOLDEN, A.B., D.O. Greetings to the Class of 1937 I WAS privileged at the recent convention of the Eastern Osteopathic Association in New York City to address a group of representative members of the Alumni Association called together by the President for the purpose of discussing cer- tain problems that confront the College at this time. Among the many important questions touched upon was that of the importance of the part the Alumni Association should play in the future con- duct of affairs of the Institution. The report of the Treasurer of the Endowment Fund for the first fiscal year shows that a fair proportion of the recognized constituency of the Alumni Association covering a wide geographical distribution were m.oved to give expression of loyalty to their Alma Mater and to back it with their dollars. In contemplating the generous returns that were m.ade during the first year of the Annual-Giving effort, I was inspired to rem.ark on an earlier occa- sion, The dollars have been invaluable in them- selves, and essential to the growth and progress of ihe College, but even more significant have they been as tokens of loyalty. The consequence to be attached to this splendid showing on the part of the many graduates of the College is contained in the desire and willingness of these same people to further aid the College in all measures calculated to promote its welfare. To you, the Class of 1937, the intention behind this movement will be readily understood. It is part of a forward-looking program of having the graduates of the College continue their relationship with their Alma Mater and of sharing the responsi ' bility of its progress and development. Your class is already unique in its acceptance of a suggestion to organize for future activity while still in school. The selection of permanent officers and the defining of purposes at this early stage makes you an institu- tion within an institution. The value of complete and sustained organization is evidently clear to you. That is a source of great satisfaction to me. It is shown in your one hundred per cent subscription to membership in the Amer- ican Osteopathic Association. It is reflected too, in your generous pledge to the Endowment Trust Fund of the College. A great philosopher has said that human life is a compact between the noble past, the living and the unborn. The great purpose of the true school, or so far as it justifies itself as a true school, is that the greatness of the past is brought into the soul of the living student. I am confident that the Philadelphia College has impressed upon you the importance of developing a true sense of values. It is not by knowing facts that we acquire wisdom, because it is not enough to acquire facts. The essential thing, having known the facts is to coordinate them and to classify them with some practical philosophy. I may appear to be talking very abstractly, but I believe that the purpose of my remarks will be understood. It is to emphasis the importance of understanding values, of recognizing the duties which a man owes to organization; that while drawing out of the past inspiration and high thoughts he must also realize that today ' s power and tomorrow ' s strength lies in communion and association.

COME to rest, at last, upon the tables of the Han-ey Museum of Anatomy, grim figures and cold, these fearfully and wonderfully made vehicles of incalculable energies serve even in death a useful purpose. Here, in the dissection laboratory, the osteopathic student finds an opportunity — not alone for philosophic contemplation upon the marvellous intelligence resident in the heart of matter — but, more pertinently, to be slowly initiated into the arcana of the Master Architect ' s structural design. Less cryptically, it is precisely here that the student acquires a more or less intimate understanding of the gross parts of the human body and the complexities of its structure. Eighteen SYNAPSIS, 1937 DEPARTMENT OF RADIOLOGY HIDDEN away in the basement of the hospital, and cut off from the rest of the institution by thick, lead ' lined walls and doors, the Department of Radiology carries on its ceaseless task. The institution is proud of the completeness of this apparatus, which includes two Roentgen units and rounds out all the possible work of this field. A course of lectures are delivered to the upper classes to acquaint them with the value of the x-ray in diagnosis and therapy. Of particular interest to the pro- fession has been the recent research work by Dr. Long of the Department of Osteo- pathic Principles and Research and Dr. Lloyd of this department. J meteen SYNAPSIS, 1937 DEPARTMENT OF PATHOLOGY PATHOLOGY is the study of disease-processes, ever changing in manifesta- tions and presenting such tissue alterations, gross and microscopic, determin- able and undeterminable, which are the result of the conflict between noxious influences and a hum.an energy-machine. The pathologist sees in a bit of dead tissue, altered by the elfects of fixatives and stains, the general outlines of a living patient progressing along the path from health to death. Pathology is the substructure of diagnosis, and as Hamman points out, diag- nosis is concerned with a structural change, then with a functional disturbance. Boyd remarks that While pathologic anatomy is concerned with changes in structure, and clinical medicine with disturbance of function as m.anifested by the symptoms of the patient — it is essential that the two go hand in hand, for both present only one side of the picture. Twinty SYNAPSIS, 1937 DEPARTMENT OF BACTERIOLOGY FROM the very beginning, the Osteopathic School of Therapy has main ' tained that germs exert, only secondarily, a positive influence in the develop- ment of disease processes; but, that certain primary and predisponent agen- cies interfere with the normal blood and nerve supply to the affected area, thus re- ducing its vitality or resistance and making it susceptible to germ invasion. There must be some failure of the blood. Nature ' s reliable germicide, to reach and repair and hold healthy possession of the part of the body in which the germ has been found. This department provides, during the second year, instruction in general and clinical bacteriology. It discusses adequately the problems of immunity and gives authoritative information on the osteopathic viewpoint concerning selected biological products from the field of serums, vaccines, antitoxins, protein sensitization and the like. For those students properly qualified, opportunity for research in bacteriological and immunologic problems is provided under supervision of the members of the staff. Twenty-one SYNAPSIS, 1937 DEPARTMENT OF GYNECOLOGY AND OBSTETRICS B Y REASON of its peculiar and distinctive methods, the osteopathic school of therapy may well boast that it has changed the complexion of many of the problems arising in either of these pursuits. During the third year, instruction in gynecology and obstetrics is confined for the major part to lectures on the common lesions in preparation for the practical work of the fourth year, and which didactic work is supplemented by clinical demon- strations. Clinical work, ward rounds and operative clinics in gynecologic cases feature the fourth year. Likewise, in obstetrics, the work is largely clinical, embracing section instruction, out-patient deliveries, bedside training, conferences and laboratory studies. Each student attends a specified number of cases in confinement and cares for cases in homes under supervision, and where such cases need be institutionalized, the same student follows the case through. Twenty ' two SYNAPSIS, 1937 DEPARTMENT OF OSTEOPATHIC RESEARCH Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art; it arises in hypothesis and flows unto achievement. ' JUST so, the osteopathic concept was a natural development of biologic know- ledge synthesized and interpreted in the light of definitely known human anatoiry and physiology. Given the historical perspective during the first year, the student is familiarized with the basic principles of osteopathy, the funda- mental theories and propositions as well as the considerations in orderly, coordinated manner, of the many demonstrable facts underlying the science and art of the pro- fession. During the fourth year, a series of lectures and informal conferences on the ad- vances being rr.ade in research investigation are given. Medical concepts, in general, says Dr. F. A. Long, are so rapidly embracing much that has been con- sidered part of the osteopathic domain that it is becoming imperative for us to immedi- ately place before the scientific world, in writing based upon authoritative investiga- tion, those tenets which we hold to be essentially osteopathic contributions.

They aime from all over the world but mostly from Philadelphia and its environs. These young folks regarded one another suspiciously and soon became close friends, due possibly to the fact that they were in a strange city but more probably because they had paid their tuition and were obUged to live together for the space of one semester anyway. To cut a long introduction short, the children buckled on their fog lamps, battened down hatches in case of heavy weather, and opened Gray ' s Anatomy. Over the next few weeks we will draw a veil. While still shrouded in this veil the Fraternities started in to work on them. They wrought havoc on their numbers with the result that the majority of the class were drawn into the various organizations and got very little work done; the remainder were not and did less. The second sem.ester brought about their introduction to a full-length naked body which it was their individual duty to reduce to its component parts. This torment continued well into their second year and provided them with (1) a callous soul, (2) nausea, and (3) Dr. EHas. By the Sophomore year these adolescents considered themselves physicians, called each other Doctor, and rushed around giving Osteo- pathic treatments. At this time they were also studying Nervous Anatomy, requiring constant use of fog lam_ps. The class was by now divided into three roughly equal sections for purposes of descrip- tion; those who slept in the two back rows, Hke a group of dormant cells, those who slept in the front two rows and bluffed their way by, and a smaller central nucleus of comparatively active units who gazed exophthalmically at the lecturers like so many expectant ova. The following year the class metastasized to a new and quieter dorm.itory, the Junior room. From this restful hideout they were disturbed at intervals to don white coats, work in clinic, and bring patients out of ether, this latter particularly at mealtimes. The remainder of the time was taken up with organizing the best Prom in many years at the Warwick Hotel, and editing a Synapsis. Both these obligations were discharged with great pomp and satisfaction to all. As Juniors, they followed the tactics of their predecessors and gave the Powers That Be, their full quota of trouble. They disagreed on principle with everyone in authority. They disbelieved many statem.ents m.ade from the platform, expressing their incredulity with loud and cheery cries of Quack- quack! and ' Radical! Their method of presenting the Year Book to Dr. Lloyd produced in that dig- nified gentleman a systolic which would have defied any sphyg. But this state of affairs could not continue indefinitely. Once more the little band of (by now) seventy found them.selves navigating the stormy seas of finals, following which the Faculty indicated that they were free to amuse them_selves until re-exam time. And so, having brought a few more patients out of ether and elevating the ribs of a few more bed-ridden heavyweights, they staggered home to restore the tissues. The return in the fall was impressive. Everything boded well for a good, hard-working year. How- ever, the fall weather was clear, and with joyous whoops a small section of the class trucked on out to the golf course, brandishing niblicks instead of stethoscopes, discussing approach shots instead of diagnosis. The rest provided a colorful background, being red-eyed with studying and green-eyed with en y. Dissatisfaction with the previous diploma gave these Indians a final opportunity for another civil war, which was duly fought and won in the Senior room — though many are still uncertain whose side they were on. In a few days the Class of 1937 will pass on up for their sheepskins, looking forward, for all our flippant comment, to the words Well done ! To those who follow us, we, in our turn, say Good luck !

By that quirk of fate we were the first class, as an entirety, that had to qualify for admittance with pre-professional study. Members of the faculty seemed to be counting our numbers in amazement and smug satisfaction. Such innocence on our part! How could the members of the faculty smile so fatherly upon us on Tuesday — and by eight o ' clock Wednes- day morning expect us to know that a bone called the clavicle was, like all Gaul, in tres partes divisa est? In retrospection, the remainder of that first year was one beautiful oblong blur which began at the lateral one-third of the clav ele and ended with the nerve supply to the lateral side of the distal phalanx of the fifth toe. Shining through that blur is one noble (and brilliant) act that we performed that year — a gift of Seventh-one SYNAPSIS, 193 7 the class to the hospital — an electrically illuminated sign. It came about because we were aware that our alma mater was hiding her Hght under a bushel, so with hearts much larger than our pocketbooks we pitched in, pledged, produced and even paid for the sign — Osteopathic Hospital. Then our first summer at home, and for three glorious months we defined, described, discussed, dis- played and defended the gospel of osteopathy — with that certainty which beats only in the hearts of freshmen. In the fall of 1935 we settled into the chairs (one could not afford to move around in them) of the soph- omore room, and armed with only two weapons with which to combat the semester — egotism and blissful ignorance. Somewhere out of the maze of quizzes, et al, some unsung left-winger remembered that we had class officers whose collective duty was to go to the college office to demand justice, or at least beg mercy. And so we (and the sweet sixteen ) salute the moral victories thus won. The junior year ! With pleasant rumors that examinations were few and far between (except the surprise of the finals when we had eleven exams during the first three days, and a total of nineteen in six days — ah! pleasant rumor) we started stooging-for the seniors, in preparation for our later cUnical and hospital week. Perhaps the three years sound like an all work and no play regime but it was not such a far cry from the dissection laboratory to the Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming Association finals in the University of Delaware pool in 1934 when four of our classmates successfully introduced osteopathy into Delaware. It was quite a drive from the physiology laboratory to the title of Philadelphia Collegiate Golf Champions, but one of our boys teed off the individual title last year. Some of our boys have smacked tennis balls around on the Ehzabethtown College courts. Som.e of the crew tossed shots into the baskets over the heads of the Hahnemann Medical School ' s best and the same in a few interfraternity games with the fraters of the Jefferson Medical College and emerged victorious against both schools. (Their A. M. A. standing, however, will not be affected.) More play? Charity Ball, Junior Prom and fraternity formats ! What a spring season ! What glorious headaches of the past !

LIBRARY SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY THE shining goal, Doctor of Osteopathy, is no longer an elusive ambition. We have reached the half-way house, and we rest in its comforting shelter to contemplate the joys and sorrow, the disappointments, which have moulded our characters for the big things before us. The beginning of our charted path, converged from many different directions : Canada, California, Florida, Massachusetts. Then a gay spot, in- dicated by a blue satin slipper and a patent leather shoe kicked by the wayside, proved to be a very successful Freshrran Formal. Our formidable foes. Embryology, Histology, and Organic Chemistry, would have turned into valuable friends if we could have conquered them. As a whole, we suc- ceeded in climbing upward enthusiastically since we crowded times of hilarity, good clean fun, along with times of responsibility, and maintained a fine esprit de corps. A fitting tablet to the first stage of our journey might bear the words of Lucy Larcom : I cannot in this valley stay ; The great horizons stretch away; The airy cliffs that wall me round Are ladders unto higher ground. To rest, to work, for each a time; I toil, but I will also climb 1 Remember the feeling of determination and faith with which we passed through the turnstile of our second year? Our faces were adorned with smiles ;- we were ready for anything. But, it was not f or long! The endless tendrils of Nervous Anatomy endeavored to obscure our pathway. The difficult cliff of Pathology, which made us sweat was con- quered by the encouraging ropes tossed to us by our distinguished guides. Our Excelsior still rings in our ears: Do not be disheartened, for the sun will rise and set tomorrow. We will always remember the days when we matched our lore with that of the Seniors, in Symp- tomatology. We took that boulder in one stride. It is remarkable how well we withstood the bombardment of billions of bugs which besieged us. We marvelled at ourselves and our excellent re- sistance. The ability of our class, combined with unusual initiative, originated the fun-making Osteoclast, with its ever-hungry nickel-bank and ever-busy mimeograph. A campfire and doggie roast marks another interlude. Although the ashes of the fire are cold, our memories brighten with thoughts of the hula- hula dancer and the fun we had. Looking forward and upward to our goal, the new experiences we will encounter make fitting the words of James Terry White : Climb on! Climb over! Ne ' er despond, Though from each summit gained There stretch forth ever heights beyond — Ideals to be attained ! Life ' s rescript simply is to climb, Unheeding toil and tire ; Failure hath no attaint of crime. If we but still aspire.

Eighl -tu;o SYNAPSIS, 1937 Post-Graduate School (T HE Graduate School was announced June 3, 1933, as a unit of the Phila- delphia College of Osteopathy, organized for the purpose of providing post- graduate instruction for osteopathic physicians, comprising as wide as possible a variety of courses for general practitioners and specialists in the field as well as for more recent graduates. For the younger graduate, its program comprehends regular full courses: (a) internship in the Osteopathic Hospital of Philadelphia, followed by resident- ship in practice of osteopathy and surgery; (b) basic science courses, involving vigorous training in single subjects, preparing for additional years of research study and teaching placements, and (c) basic clinical courses in major departments, leading to opportunity for further study in the selected specialistic fields. For the physician of greater practical experience in the field, the object is to provide post-graduate instruction of briefer periods covering the recent scientific advances in the practice of osteopathy, surgery and the specialties. Special Courses, Personal Courses, Clinical Courses, Combined Courses, Review Courses, Polyclinic Courses, Courses Leading to the Specialties, Extension Courses charac- terize the range of possible opportunities to be considered for suitably qualified practitioners. It is, however, no part of the premise of the Graduate School to attempt to meet all demands of osteopathic physicians for graduate education. Its express aim is to furnish opportunities as they exist, or as they arise, for an individual or small group to be received and placed in well-organized programs. In no case will privilege be accorded or contract be entered upon where the re- quest is calculated by the school authorities to be subversive to the interests of the fundamental plan. Furthermore, it is to be understood that the School makes no bid for any but properly qualified and serious-minded students. The right is reserved by the School to refuse, without particulars, matriculation to all appli- cants whom It deems ineligible and to limit, at its discretion, the number of phys- icians in the courses offered.

Peeler, R.N., Directress t7 HE School of Nursing of the Osteopathic Hospital of Philadelphia was estab ' lished in 1919, and since its organization has been an integral part of the institu- tion. The School is an oificially recognized training school in the State of Pennsyl- vania, having been accredited by the Board of Registration of Nurses in April, 1931. The Executive Committee of the School of Nursing is composed of the Dean of the College, the Directress of the School of Nursing, the Superintendent of the Hospital and representatives from the Lay Board of Directors, the Professional Board and from the Hospital Staff. The Hospital Staff are all members of the College Faculty, and the nurses in training receive the benefit arising from instruction under these trained teachers.

I ' m going to name some, one by one. Each one I ' m glad I met And you ' ll see there is something about them I ' m sure I ' ll never forget. For instance, DR. DREW would put it this way, You ' ll find many a type and kind. But the physician who is successful Is the one with the organized mind! A different necktie every day And a flower that will catch your eye. Set off with a grand personality - That ' s our good friend DR. PY. And then there is DR. PENNOCK— Who thinks the English almost real. But you have to draw them a picture To get what you want for a meal. Next is DR. GALBREATH, Who just seems to hide within himself. But I ' m sure if he would only talk That ' s when we ' d find a world of wealth. What ' s cheese without a cracker? What ' s Hawaii without a guitar? What ' s a circus without any peanuts? What ' s DR. GREEN without a cigar? Some day we ' ll hear of an orchestra Playing on a hotel roof. Only to find that DR. LONG Is supplying research proof. I ' ll bet he takes a smoke at nine. And maybe one at ten. But there ' s one thing sure — DR. SODEN Will tell his favorite joke again. I can still hear DR. WILBUR LUTZ, You ' re old enough to have some sense — So don ' t sell Osteopathy For a measly fifty cents. DR. EVANS brings the babies And say — they are so small. Tell me — what is there about that job That calls for a man so tall. Never, no — , never use nose drops, From a salesman never buy. But please don ' t take my word for it — DR. LEUZINGER will tell you why. I admire a man who works hard. First to come, last to go. That ' s DR. I.LOYD. who handles X-rays at P. C. O. DR. STERRETT, our Urologist, Is a man I ' ll never forget — He ' ll tell you of Silent Kidneys And prove he ' s not all wet. There ' s DR. RUTH E. TINLEY— Our only woman department head. Who I admire because She has alwavs meant what she said. It ' s true that all our classmates May not always roll in wealth. But as long as DR. CATHIE ' S here We ' ll always have our health. DR. SMITH and DR. DICK Will always make a hit. No matter w-hat the circumstance. They always seem to fit. I had a talk with DR. KISER And I was told by explanation. No matter what the patient has — Beware of inflammation. You see lots of handsome people Among those that you meet — But remember, DR. CRESSMAN says, Beauty is only skin deep! I ' ve seen it on the fourth floor And if you ' re in doubt, I ' ll show you, Says DR. ROTHMEYER— the red-head anatomist And he knows his stuff, I ' ll tell you. The next time someone asks you Hello there, how ' s your heart? Just tell them— DR. FISCHER Will gladly explain each and every part! If you fail this exam, don ' t worry, DR. DRESSLER will often say— For worry will never help you And there is always another day. Every time you see an operation. You ' ll see DR. SMITH (F. J.) ' Keeping his patient fast asleep — And hoping he ' ll stay that way. Who ' s the master organizer? Who talks till his face is blue? Who needs a long vacation? That little big guy— D ' ELISCU! PROF. ERB— an all right man- But sometimes I think he ' s mean. Because he ' ll surely run you off the track If you ' re headed towards the Dean. Did you ask me what I want the most? What it is that I think is golden? Well, I don ' t tell this to everyone But I ' d like to meet DEAN HOLDEN. As I have said before, my friend, Or did I forget to mention? This is the grandest group of doctors Ever brought to my attention. To those I missed I ' d like to say I ' m sorry we never met, But you can rest assured that I ' ll be back — I ' m going to meet you yet. For I believe in Osteopathy, And I also know I ' m sure. That if I ever have an ailment — Osteopathy has the cure. (Please excuse the cx lottation of the poetic (. ' ) license.)

The J. W. O. A. has at all times striven to make necessary contributions to P. C. O. according to its means, and to acquaint its membership with certain practical aspects of osteopathic practice. During the 1935-36 school year, among other activities, the J. W. O. A. had its first annual freshman tea, the first senior banquet and made a contribution to the pediatrics bed. Under the practical and efficient guidance of Dr. Ruth E. Tinley, our Faculty Adviser, many very practical projects are being planned, which ever render the organization more invaluable. Application has been made that the J. W. O. A. may enUst as an auxiliary of the O. W. N. A. For our 1936-37 project, the refurn- ishing and redecoration of the third floor rest room is being undertaken. Thus far many instructive and entertaining meetings have been held. 7 lmety SYNAPSIS, 1937 JUNIOR WOMEN S OSTEOPATHIC ASSOCIATION ELEANOR BECK President MARY LULICK Vice-President JANE ISENBERG Secretary ELEANOR BOAL 15reasurer RUTH COOK ' Publicity Agent Harriet Weisgerber Doris Moyer Martha Shields Elizabeth Mellott Hope Centner Eleanor Boal Jane Isenberg Beatrice Packard Gertrude Noar Louise Riddell Ruth Franz; Marion Norton Florence Sabino Katherine Campbell MEMBERS Ruth Emanuel Elizabeth Hoffman Eleanor Beck Ruth Sharpe Marion Tracy Anna Mae Dunlevy Josephine Chase Norma Amy Mona Williams Frances Nerby Sarah Patchell Olga Shlanta Mary Lulick Frieda Oschever Luelle Starkey ?{}nety ' One SYNAPSIS, 1937 ATLAS CLUB C7%liE Atks Club had its origin in Kirksville, Mo., on December 10, 1898. The founding of each of the Osteopathic Colleges, now recognized by the American Osteopathic Association, was quickly followed by the founding of a new Chapter of the Atlas Club, based upon the principles set forth by the charter members. These principles were: The Elevation of Osteopathic Standards and the Advance- ment of the Osteopathic Profession. The Styloid Chapter was founded at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy in 1924.

Since then, the fraternity has grown to one of national recognition. An annual convention is held, alternating the meeting between New York City and Philadelphia. Throughout the college year, besides the usual weekly meeting, a dinner meeting is held and at which time are presented two speakers — one being of the faculty or prominent elsewhere in the therapeutic field and the second being an alumnus of the organization.

Members of the Pediatrics staff are honorary members of the Society, and it is from the honorary members that the Society benefits (greatly through their experi- ence in the practice of pediatrics). Members of the Society have the privilege of participating in the routine osteography in the pediatrics clinic, which procedure aids the student in correlating the significance of the osteopathic lesion to the diseases of the child. Bimonthly practical meetings are held during the scholastic year, and consist of having a patient presented, the case history read, and the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of the case discussed.

FRANCIS SMITH NEUROLOGICAL SOCIETY O INCE the scope of nervous and mental disease is so broad and of such increasing importance, it is necessary to attain a more specific insight of the subject. For this reason senior students under the leadership of Drs. J. Francis Smith and Marion Dick, who were made honorary members at the first meeting of the Society, March 1931, desired to group together in order to get a fuller comprehension and more practical knowledge in neurological fields. It is therefore the aim of the Society to stimulate a greater interest among our Osteopathic Physicians along the line which bears such special consideration. Members are chosen on th e basis of interest and scholarship and receive enough clinical material and practical application of teaching to establish a sound basis for later private practice or specialization in the treatment of nervous and mental diseases, by visitation to institutions and practical discussion with men of various institutions, instructors and guests.

The Society attempts not only to foster increased interest in the subject Urology and its important relation to other disease processes, among its members alone but also the entire student body. This is accom- plished by demonstrating Urological films under the guidance of Dr. H. Willard Sterrett, and introducing various authorities in their field to the student body, in its many open meetings, thus illustrating the value of urology in the field of practice. The Society considers for membership any student interested in the subject of urology, and his acceptance is determined by the grading of a thesis, together with a vote by the active members.

ROTHMEYER GASTRO- ENTEROLOGICAL SOCIETY c7 HIS society is one of the most recently founded societies of the college, beins founded in 1932 by a group of students under the direction of Dr. George S Rothmeyer, then professor of Gastroenterology. One of the main functions of the society is the promotion and stimulation oi a greater interest in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases and abnormalities of the gastro-intestinal tract, and the relationship of such disorders to disease symptoms in other parts of the body. During the past year. Dr. Ralph W. Davis, a member of the faculty, has taken a very active part in directing the activities of the group. William Furey, ' ■President Ross E.

O. is a campus wide association, - organized by a group of students desirous of placing before the student body, speakers on subjects which do not appear in our curriculum because of the lack of time, but still are vital issues to men and women planning to practice the healing act. Much of the success of the organization has been brought about by the interests ot Dr. Long of our faculty and Dr. Robert H. Gearhart who has been associated with our college for the past fifteen years. The activities of the association are entirely in the hands of all students inter- ested in its welfare, and has Dr. Edgar O. Holden as its General Chairman, and faculty members for its Advisers. Meetings are held every other Friday evening in the senior room at 7-00 P. M., and judging by the attendance of the meetings which have been held, the association has a great future. ( SIGMA ALPHA OMICRON A N HONORARY Scholastic Society was established at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy in June 1924. Election to membership is made once a year, in the spring, from the senior class. Maintenance of high scholarship, regU ' larity of attendance upon classes and clinics, display of intellectual and cultural qualities, promise of creative ability, are the chief criteria governing election. Gold keys and certificates are awarded to those meeting the requirement. The following students were selected from the Class of 1936. Per Cent Edward H. Johnson 90 . 84 Raymond F.

O. have always been somewhat curtailed due to the exceptionally heavy academic schedule, various varsity teams have, on occasion, proven their mettle. While some teams have not fared so well, others have had very successful seasons. But in all cases, keen competition was met, a fighting spirit was shown, and good sportsmanship prevailed. This, and not victories, is the criterion of successful ath- letics. The Athletic Association, which consists of a president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer, is under the guidance of a faculty committee on athletics. All students are encouraged to participate in some form of physical activity. This is made possible by the enrollment of every student in the Y. M. C. A., the expenses of which are met by a portion of the student activity fee. Awards are made in stu- dent assemblies to deserving persons and teams. Varsity awards are made at the annual athletic banquet. There are numerous competitive sports for those who are not proficient enough to make a varsity team, with the many inter-class and inter-fraternity contests. One has only to be a spectator at these events to realize how wholeheartedly the student body enters into the spirit of the fray. Thus is all work and no play elimi- nated from P. C. O. ' s daily routine. One hundred fourteen SYNAPSIS, 1937 SWIMMING Varsity swimming at P. C. O. is only three years old, but during this brief time its record has been amazingly meteoric. The swimming team has the distinction of never having lost a home meet. Since its inception, the only losses were to Swarth ' more College, University of Delaware, and Villanova College. The defeats to Swarthmore and Villanova were avenged on return meets. The record of the Osteo- paths shows victories over West Chester State Teacher ' s College, Rider College, Swarthmore, and Villanova, as well as places in intercollegiate championships. Some members of the team have captured individual honors in opzn inter- collegiate and A. A. U. competition. The members of the varsity team are Rugerio Flocco, middle Atlantic Diving Champion, Simon Lubin, Jack Pulker, C. Norton, H. Perry, Dick Koch, Jim Burnard, H. Waddel, W. Barnard, and Bob Erwin. GOLF One of the most popular sports in the College is golf. This is mostly due to the keen competition between the student and faculty teams. In addition to a student team there is a varsity team, which always plays a very extensive schedule. With an almost intact veteran team left over from last year, in addition to the best of a large number of new candidates, a most successful season is virtually assured. The 1936-37 team that remains is as follows: Donald S. Gibbs, captain. Harry N. Kerr, playing manager; Donald J. Ulrich, and Joseph E. Hughes. 1937-38 Golf Schedule April 8— P. CO vs Haverford College April 13 — P. CO vs John Hopkins University April 21 — P. CO vs University of Pennsylvania April 22— P. CO vs Swarthmore College April 27— P.

CO vs University of Delaware BASKETBALL The first call for basketball came early in November, with a turnout of over 25 candidates for the varsity and freshman teams. Through the efforts of Doctor D ' Elisgu, our director of athletics, the services of Coach Jimmie Desson, well known basketball player and coach, was obtained. Osteopathy ' s team took the floor led by co-captains Art Bunting and Bill Furey. The members of the varsity team were, in addition to the two captains, Henry Macie- jewski, Richard Jameson, Norm LaBove, Ed Long, Don Ulrich, Ralph Tomei, Wes Rowe, Wallace Gregory, and Fred MarzuUo. The affairs of the team were capably handled by Manager Bill Soden and Assistant Manager William Behnnger. One hundred Fifteen SYNAPSIS, 1937 During the past few seasons, the varsity has met and defeated such strong op ' position as the University of Baltimore, Juniata College, Drexel Institute, Gallaudet University, and Elizabethtown College. At the conclusion of the final game of the 1936-37 season, Norm LaBove and Ed Long were elected to lead the Osteopaths for the 1937-38 season. dJ TENNIS With virtually the same team back for this season that represented P. C. O. last year, things are looking brighter for the tennis team. In the inter-class tourna- ment, which was held in conjunction with the tryouts for the varsity team, Ralph Tomei was crowned all-class champion, for the 1936-37 season. This 1936-37 team was captained by Reed Speer, and managed by Bill Behringer. Joe Stiles, Ralph Tomei, George Betts, Steve Adams and Dick Koch rounded out the varsity team. 1936-37 Tennis Results P.

Then one day a bulldog hit him — (he was gunning down at uogue), A7Td they filled his veins in Paris with the extract of mad dog. Then he caught tuberculosis, so they too him to Berlin, And injected half a gallon of bacilli into him. Well, his friends were all delighted with the quickness of the cure, ' Til he caught the typhoid fever, and a speedy death ivas sure; Then some doctors with some sewage did inoculate a hen. And injected half its gastric juice into his abdomen. But, as soon as he ' d recovered, as of course he had to do. There came along a rattlesna e and bit his thumb in two; Once again his veins were opened to receive about a gill Of some serpentine solution, with the venom in it still. To prepare him for a voyage in an Asiatic sea. Rich new blood was pumped into him from a leprous old Chinee; Soon his appetite had vanished, and he could not eat all. So the virus of dyspepsia was injected in the fall; But his blood was so diluted u ith the remedies he had ta}{en. That one day he laid him down and died and never did awaken; With the Brown Sequard Elixir, though they tried resuscitation. He never showed a symptom of reviving animation; Tet the doctor still could cure him (he persistently maintains). If he could only inject a little life into his veins. —Puc .
