The true import of these philosophical words of Hippocrates, uttered over two thousand years ago, is most clearh realized by those who know and practice the art and science of Osteopathy. The correlation between the hand and the brain must be very intimate; but the manual processes must be forever preceded by the mental, and subjugated to them at all times if we are to achieve the ultimate attainments which this school of therapy, above all others, is capable of producing. The true Osteopath is the true physician, dedicating his life to the relief of human suffering through the development of the true art and science of healing. To more vividly portray the close correlation of Mens et Manus the Synapsis of 1938 is published. N T E N T I. INTRODUCTION II. COLLEGE AND HOSPITAL III. THROUGH THE YEARS Freshmen Sophomores Juniors Seniors IV. EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Fraternities Societies |i :l oiio THE dedication of the College Year Book is the greatest honor which the Junior Class, as a group, can bestow upon any man. This singular dis- tinction is conferred by the Class of 1939 upon a man who has guided us with humor, tolerance, and under- standing through the difficult years of our professional study; a physician who has told us modestly of his suc- cesses and frankly of his failures. Thereby developing in us an understanding of our responsibilities, as well as an appreciation of our opportunities and abilities. The respect and admiration of the class for this de- voted teacher and practitioner of Osteopathy throughout these few short years has produced a mutual bond of fellowship, much deeper than the ordinary professor- student relationship. His clear, concise reasoning and logical deductions in regard to practical problems con- fronting the Osteopathic physician have guided our ofttimes bewildered brains into the proper channels for constructive and rational Osteopathic thinking. As a permanent memorial of our appreciation and esteem, we, the Class of 1939, dedicate the Synapsis of 1938 to a physician, a teacher, and a friend, who by his example inspires us to loftier endeavor; and the thought of whom shall ever serve to awaken in us sincerity and enthusiasm in upholding the ideals of our profession.

CLA 1 THE crowning glory of osteopathy is osteopathic research. The diadem, however, does not rest any too snugly on the brow. It IS there, none the less, awaiting attention, adjustment, skilled workmanship and lustre. Your College here in Philadelphia holds an important key. to the research situation as it pertains to the osteopathic profession in general and especially to osteopathic education. The Administration and the Fac- ulty are research-minded. Their attitude may be expected to be a stim- ulating factor and to impel consideration of research work elsewhere along unimpeachable lines. You students have undoubtedly realized that research permeates the whole atmosphere of the School, the clinics as well as the laboratory departments. You have been exposed constantly to the attitude of investi- gation, by references to unsolved problems, by theories advanced to explain phenomena, by references to the literature, and by contacts with men who are working on the border-line of unexplored fields of knowledge. It is hoped that during your undergraduate days an environment of ideas has been created which will have an important influence on the more seriously-minded students. We know that most of you will go on to in- ternships, fellowships, apprenticeships of one sort or another leading to practice in general or specialty fields. Hope springs eternal that some one or two each year will turn to investigative work, when and if opportunity is afforded, recognizing the great part osteopathic research stands to play in professional recognition and success. The recently reported work of Professors Long and Lloyd in connection with the use of the Roentgen Ray in the study of vertebral mechanics with special reference to its adaptability in osteopathic practice, has been a source of great inspiration and pride to us here locally. Moreover, the enthusiasm and interest with which it is being received by the profession from scattered points of the country, as attested by scores of letters, tran- scend any action or event in recent years. It has been a central aim of the College to prepare students to meet mtelligently the conditions and demands of osteopathic practice— this through the intimate relationships of a student and a master teacher or chnician. At the same time it has been desired to equip young minds with courageous initiative together with honest and single-minded devotion to osteopathy. In conclusion, let me say that I have endeavored in this brief message to impress upon you the imperativeness of investigation and research in our osteopathic program. There never was a time when in our brief life the spirit of osteopathy needed quickening as today. It may be done through satisfaction of a fundamental need—expedition of osteopathic re- search. Edgar O. Holden. A MESSAGE from the President of the American Osteopathic Association T, HE following brief statement by the President of the American Osteo- pathic Association indicates his approval of Osteopathy as it is practiced today. After a quarter of a century in the active practice of Osteopathy, reflection allows me to enthusiastically approve those behavior attitudes and ambitions of my late teens which guided m - deci- sion to choose Osteopathy as a career. Edward A. Ward, D.O. EDWARD A. WARD, D.O. I N M E M RUSSELL DUANE D ' vEATH takes in but one short moment that vhich it took life many years to produce. And then sorrowFully we recognize greatness, all but too late. Truly a man oF eminence and dis- tinction. A man whose accomplishments were greater and more varied than we could realize. This descendant of Benjamin Franklin was born in Swedesboro, N. J., June 15, 1866, and died in Viilanova, Pa., January 1 8, 1 938, following a year ' s illness. After quite an extensive training at Harvard, University of Virginia, and the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania in his chosen profession of law, he was admitted to the Philadelphia Bar in 1891. From that time on, this Philadelphia law- yer became a prominent figure in civic affairs. One of his most commendable actions was to found the Committee of 70, an organization of greatest importance to Philadelphia. He received his first governmental appointment as a Junior Counsel in the Bering Sea arbitration proceedings. He was active in politics while serving as the executive of very many organizations and a member of others too numerous to mention. Mr. Duane had long manifested an interest in Osteopathy. In 1916 he addressed the graduating class of P. C. O. with a message, Osteopathy Fifty Years Hence. which has since been reproduced many times. He was elected a member of the Board of Directors of the Philadelphia Osteopathic College and Hospital in 1930. In 1931 he was elected to the presidency of the same board. The same activity which he manifested In civic affairs was also carried on in Osteopathic affairs. It is this interest, this earnest, untiring work so characteristic of the man that P. C. O. and Osteopathy as a whole will sincerely miss. 12 O R I A M GILBERT A. GAVIN To A loyal and noble servant of the Osteo- pathic Collese came the Angel of Death to put to rest Gilbert Gavin. It might be ably stated that he died in action and by the work he loved. His departure was quiet and simple — so symbolic of his life and work. Learning of the growing Osteopathic College at 19th and Spring Garden Streets, he sought out association with the College by applying to Dean Flack and presenting his qualifications. He was accepted twelve years ago last November fifteenth. With the advancing educational program, dissec- tion of cadavers became a prime requirement in the anatomical understanding for the manipulating fingers of the Osteopath. Mr. Gavin strove to build up a laboratory to serve the needs of the students, under conditions that were not truly favorable. By clever tactics he obtained cadavers that were as intact as possible from the central distributing centers. Once in his possession, he processed them to his liking and skill — carrying on his work as any artist would do. His endeavors for perfection were realized when the present dissection laboratory was completed. Here Mr. Gavin had facilities for working, and opportunity for experimenting to secure cadavers that were odorless, slow to decompose, and usable for long periods. He ex- perimented with embalming fluids a number of years so that he eventually found one to his satisfaction. This became his guarded secret which he entrusted to no one nor in writing. Death sealing his lips — he carries it with him. A man who has made his work an art, has given much and obtained more. This was Gilbert Gavin ' s life. His passing has broken a small link in the orderly functioning of the College. All his friends of the College and Hospital extend the deepest sympathy to his widow and with her say — God rest him. 13 eje The College Entrance Drs.

ANDREW TAYLOR STILL STILL ONWARD I OSTEOPATHIC. Homeopathic. Allopathic. Xaturopathic. Do these mean anything to you.- They should represent the various schools of medical thought. Perhaps a great many people Mill be surprised by that statement. Cen- turies of conformity have left little desire to lend credence to new thoughts. It took many years for medicine to become organized as it is todav. Of course, in the beginning, the trials and tribulations of what we today call the doctor were man}-. How cruelly the men were treated who had the audacity to prescribe certain ingredients as drugs, who were bold enough to use sunlight and fresh air to treat their patients, who were so sacrilegious as to dissect bodies so that they might learn I Hypo- critical, narrow-minded, and thoughtless, we say. Yes, we judge the ancients because we are so far remoA ' ed. Yet, we have but to read our modern medical histor;.- to see that independent thinkers and men with well-founded claims were not even given the right to be heard. A ' hen Hahnemann and his associates asked for recognition, they were laughed at, ridiculed, and called quacks and fakers. By the layman? Xo. They had no technical knowl- edge. The ridicule was delivered by the men of the now fairly well-organized medical profession, among whom the predominant principles were allopathic. As time passed and Hahnemann and Homeopa- thy greM stronger. Allopathic medicine grew SYNAPSIS  1038 28 stronger, and the fight was continued ; but now more seriously. Until finally, the number of graduate Homeopathic medical physicians was of sufficient size to secure a voice in organized medicine. Of course, the clinical results of both were about the same. Today, we find that the name medical doc- tor means to the layman nothing more than the title; but to the conformists of each school there is still a distinction. And now again, there arises a troubling incident. Another man has demanded to be heard, and has received only that which has been conventional. As may be expected, he new faces two schools who have practically united against him. Dr. Still and his Osteopathic medicine was proclaimed by the opposing medical schools to be the quack of mod- ern medicine, hen Dr. Still endeavored to ac- quaint his associates with the new applications of old discoveries, the medical profession stripped him of his degree. He struggled on under handicaps like the pioneers of old. At times he accomplished miraculous cures. Miraculous because his cures were on cases where his former colleagues had failed. Miraculous because sometimes the patient did not even have to take anything. But were they miraculous? Absolutely not, merely the appli- cation of anatomical and physiological facts pre- viously disregarded, but now heralded clinically. In the beginning of Osteopathic medicine there were those men who endeavored to cure everxthing by the use of their hands. They succeeded for a time, but as the number of their cases mounted, their percentage of cures decreased. These extrem- ists found that more was necessan. than just ten fingers. Sunlight, healthful air, good food, good attention, and good mental attitude were neces- sary-. All these, this baby physician, in the field of medicine, began to utilize. At the same time, the old schcol of medicine was making progress in its various fields. Out of this experimentation cer- tain agents were found tc be specifics. That is, they did what they were intended to do, as they were expected to do, and no more. Truly wonder- ful discoveriesi These few specifics are the only agents known which actuallv attack the source or cause of the disease. Other drugs which are used merely give symptomatic relief, but do not remove the cause. As these specifics became proven, and many clinical results showed them to live up to their claims, the Osteopathic phj-sician incor- porated them in his treatments. Conservatism was his motto, for too many human beings had died through experimentation. Not very many years ago, in the ISOC ' s, medical schcoling was not as comprehensive nor regu ' ated as much as it is today. Medical men could get their license by merely serving an apprentice period. Few men became Osteopathic by that pro- cedure. Almost from the start Osteopathic school- ing of some duration was necessary. Dr. Still ' s first course in 1892 was held in Kirksville, ] Io. This constituted the American School of Osteopa- thy. The school year was from November to March. Two years later, the course was extended to cover three years of nine months each. In 1916, the course covered four years of nine months each. Today, most of the recognized Osteopathic colleges require at least two years of pre-medical study at an accredited college in which certain scientific courses must have been successfully passed. This is, of course, in addition to a recognized high school education. There is a possibility at present that this preliminary requirement may be raised to three years. We have on the rolls of our colleges men and women who have graduated from colleges with many and various degrees, r lodern Osteopa- thy selects its practitioners with ever-increasing scrutiny. Today, in contrast with 1800, most cf our colleges are associated with Osteopathic hospitals. Here future physicians can learn at first hand those con- ditions which he will meet in practice. Each year more and more internships are a ailable for Osteo- pathic students. In the ven.- near future, with more clinical results and increased public opinion supporting us. we hope to o ' erride the pett - objec- tions put forth by the old school medical men and enter all hospitals which we are lawfully allowed. Thus insuring internship for all of our graduates. Some of the most prominent medical schools of SYNAPSIS • 1038 29 the country have recenth- instituted courses in manipulative therapy in their curricula. Of course, it is not called Osteopathic. Needless to say, this merely strengthens the cause of the Osteopathic physician. This attempt to absorb Osteopathic principles will only ser -e to illustrate that to learn Osteopathic procedures one must contact an Osteo- pathic institution. Manipulation is not the entire substance of Osteopathy, but it has been singled out as its most distinguishing feature. Undoubt- edly, the results produced b - manipulation from the hands of the Osteopathic physician have caused the old school medic to look to his laurels and his therapy. Thus we find him turning to Osteopa- thy, whether he admits it or not. Today the Osteopathic medical physician appro- priates all that has proven of value in the treatment of disease. As a school of medicine. Osteopathy bows to none, for it has as its guiding light normal body function. The human body and all it con- tains is the concern of the Osteopath. No anatom- ical structures are disregarded, no physiological properties are termed inconsequential, and no symptom is too small to have a cause. The cause has always been the object of the Osteopathic p hysician ' s search. That is the reason why his treatments have been rapid and successful. Can there be any more idealistic goal than a normal body whose defensive mechanism is functioning at its highest efficiency to prevent disease processes from gaining a foothold? That has been the aim of the Osteopathic physician since Dr. Still, to help the body maintain itself at this idealistic normal. Treatment designed to further this cause is the basis of preventive medicine. Thus, we can proudly say that Osteopathy has been a rational and im- portant form of preventive medicine from its be- ginning in 1874. The furtherance of Osteopathic principles wall further the advance of preventive medicine proportionately. By no means is this meant to imply that manipulation is the entire consideration in this field of medicine. Diet, h - giene, sanitation, vaccination, and immunization all occupy their rightfully important place in the mind of every true Osteopath. T he body normal can ward of? the greatest majority of pathological processes; help the body become normal and dis- ease has little foothold. This physician is the doctor of the healthy, as well as the sick. A new idea, but merely preventive medicine. Modern scientists admit that many things of the why and how of body function are inexplicable in the light of present-day knowledge. It is just those things, curiously enough, against which the physician must often work. Since the physician cannot explain these mysteries, his treatment should be directed towards aiding nature fight its patholo- gies. This is the basic conception of Osteopathy. But what is Osteopathy? What makes the Osteo- pathic physician. Osteopathic? If we were to say that Osteopathy comprises ever ' thing of value in the old school of medicine, we would perhaps mortally wound some of the old school medics: but would not be explaining our position. But if we were to say that beyond the afore-mentioned things, the Osteopath has something else to offer his patients, -ou would begin to understand. This something, this manipulation, is what has set the Osteopathic physician apart from his medical col- leagues. Concomitant with the use of manipula- tion certain clinical results were obtained which obviated the use of various drugs. This fact made men bold enough to throw away other agents whose therapeutic value was inconsequential and only used for want of something better. But if such results are true, why didn ' t the old schools adopt this new therapy after it had proven itself? Sure the welfare of the patient is involved! Would you like to see your years of work torn down almost overnight? Would you like to see people buy at other stores than your own? Such things are hard to swallow. Yet in all fairness we must say that progressive old school medics of today are discarding useless remedies; even going so far as to substitute scientific neglect. ' By this term we mean doing absolutely nothing for the patient as far as manipulation or medi- cation is concerned, and directing the nursing care to merely making the patient comfortable while the defensive mechanisms of the bodv fight their SVNAPSlS 1938 30 relentless battle to return the body to its normally healthy state. Today everyone is cognizant of the results of Osteopathic care. Organized propaganda attempts to suppress it, but it cannot be hidden. Many mothers now call on the Osteopath when Johnny has pneumonia, that serious and dread disease. Is this foolish? Not at all. She has learned that her boy can better resist the infection, can be up and around sooner, and will have less possibility of sequellae under his care. Years of experience in certain conditions have taught some old school medical practitioners in- valuable facts of treatment. Years of experience of the new school medical practitioner can make him no wiser. Physicians are men of character, poise, knowledge, and ethics. All schools have their disappointments. All of us are but human. Since many times treatment is of a suggestive nature or a type of psycho-therapy, more than automatic knowledge is demanded of the physician. This, no school can teach him. This inherent property is one of the characteristics of the individual. The men and women who practice in this new field of medicine are as efficient or as poor as they make ; themselves. Thus, you see that Osteopathic medicine is un- limited in its scope. One of the factors which has aided the spread of Osteopathy has been its aid in Obstetrics. To many women, the comparative com- fort of pregnancy, ease of delivery with lessened pain, and rapid return to activity have been a boon. Common sense aid to the nursing mother, and pre- ventive care to the infant all tend to bring about better health and greater happiness. Such surgery as that which must be performed is .■carried out by competent physicians only after they ■have decided that surgery is the most efficient treatment. Making use of manual and mechanical principles inherent in Osteopathic philosophy, many special- ists have contributed much to their various fields; eye, ear, nose, throat, and gynecological fields in particular, have experienced new results under .Osteopathic therapy. Diet is of the utmost consideration to the Osteo- pathic physician. Since this is one factor which the human body must always face, its importance cannot be minimized. Among the predisposing fac- tors to disease, diet probably ranks among the first. Food intake aids or impairs nature ' s attempt to keep the body well. Thus, diet becomes a consid- eration for the physician. X-ray and Roentgenological studies are one of the greatest aids to modern medicine. Osteopathic physicians have accepted this from the beginning. Today, practically every Osteopathic hospital or college has some Roentgenological or radiological apparatus, either for teaching or therapeutic pur- poses. Some of our hospitals possess equipment the equal of many institutions with much greater financial backing. National recognition has been accorded some of these radiologists for their won- derful work. Great strides have been made in the arthritic field. Osteopathy has helped transform this field from one of nothing can be done about it to one at least giving relief to the patient. Many patients with various forms of arthritis fill our clinics, as the last hope. They have usually been the rounds before they entered. Many of them are worse than when they started seeking medical aid, others no better, and a very few showed some improvement. They are amazed with the relief given them. It would be folly to state that the greatest majority are cured; for by the time some of these patients reach our clinics, many years of affliction have not aided their cause. But some are cured, and a great many are relieved of troublesome symptoms. The amazement which some of these arthritics show, and the hope which is again renewed in them can only be understood by questioning such a patient. In the cases of the younger patients, many times they are entirely rid of their condition. In orthopedics and foot technique. Osteopathy has gone far ahead of the rest of the medical field. Heretofore, too many physicians, except those spe- cializing in this field, almost totally disregarded the feet. If the patient ' s feet hurt and there was no reason to suspect a fracture or break, arches were SYNAPSIS • 1038 31 prescrilied. Too often this indiscriminate arch pre- i cribiny; and similar errors only aggravated the con- dition. Today, the Osteopathic physician knows and understands the structure and mechanics of the lower extremities. He has learned certain ways of manipulating the foot to aid it in its work. Equally important is his study of types of feet, lypes of shoes, lasts, arches, lifts, when they are indicated, and when not. So the Osteopath is cer- la nly in a wonderful position to care for those mis- treated and ofttimes forgotten feet. F ar fetched as it may seem to many, internal diseases of the body itself have been shown to have arisen from bad feet. The upper extremity,- also comes in for its share of knocks and bumps, none of which may pro- duce actual gross pathology. Perhaps there is no b reak, nor fracture, nor sprain; but there still is something wrong. Otherwise we would have free- dom of motion, no pains or aches, and normal usage. Can we skip over this, and hope that in a few days the trouble will be gone? No, there is something wrong present, and the Osteopathic physician is especially trained to correct it. Since cardiac or heart disturbances cause a large number of deaths they are quite seriously viewed by the physician. F requently cases of heart trouble have their prognosis changed from doubt- ful to hopeful under Osteopathic care. Sometimes these results cannot be satisfactorily explained in detail because this involves physiological phe- nomena which are not clearly understood at the present time. These problems require long and tedious research. Complicated nervous and vascu- lar physiology serve as the basis of the explanation. The clinical results, however, is what the patient seeks and receives from the Osteopathic physician. Acute infectious diseases are daily being shown to have more effect on the patient ' s health than was formerly assumed. Many times those childhood diseases of measles, mumps, whooping cough, and colds were almost thought of as nece sary and in- consequential. As a result, the after effects, or sequellae, frequently attacked the heart and the other vital organs of the body. It is here that the Osteopathic physician shows his training as a phy- sician and a prolonger of life. Under Osteopathic care these patients have milder attacks of these dis- eases, the defensive forces of the body are sup- ported by manipulation, and the physician does not allow the patient out of bed until he is sure serious complications have not arisen. Treatment is continued even after the disease has been oxer- come as a safety and precautionary measure. The heart has laeen termed the pump of life, and it is truly that. With this in mind, the Osteopathic phy- sician strives to reduce after effects so that the heart, a ven, ' frequent site of sequellae, is not affected. The Osteopathic hospitals throughout the coun- try give their patients greater care than is found in the majority of institutions. The patients are astounded and highly appreciative of the great attention accorded them. Where surgery is neces- sary, pre-operative and post-operative care are fac- tors at least as great, if not more important, than the surgical. In this respect the manipulative therapy of the Osteopathic school is the agent by which our patients are so marvelously aided. The patient is built up to their best po.ssible condition before surgery, and those terrible post-operative gas pains are to a large degree eliminated by this sci- entific manipulation. Our hospitals are, without exaggeration, crowded to capacity. It is hoped that in a few years, when enough money has been obtained to again start a building program, a larger number of patients may more readily be accom- modated. It is claimed that the future of a people rests ith their babies and children. In this field, Oste- opathy again excels. Not only are diets prescribed scientifically, not only are habits regulated, but manipulative treatments are given which aid the baby and child in warding ofT those childhood infec- tions. Any physician would much rather prevent a condition than cure it. Thus, it is towards this end, and many others, that the problems of Osteopathic research are di- rected. Since Osteopathic therapy sheds a new light on treatment, it is onh- natural that problems SYNAPSIS  I03S 32 along these lines hitherto not fully explained nor proven should be attacked. All the facilities avail- able are being used to their greatest efficiency. Now, more than at any previous time, research workers in the field of Osteopathy are carrying out an ex- tensive program to add more scientific proof to that already put forth in order to more strongly support our therapy. As our research continues to prove itself to be scientific and essential, it will at- tract more and more aid to itself — as it is doing at oresent. Each year as Osteopathy advances and gathers more followers, we find new hospitals started and new hospitals completed. This has been through the support of the public — a public that wants ' esults and gets them with Osteopathy more than any other school of medicine. And not the least actor in this spread of Osteopathy is the part played by our clinics. Our patients are treated as oeople, not diseases. This fact alone crowds our facilities, and it is with regret that we cannot care for all th ose sufferers who apply for aid. With the support of the public, we can help heal the sick and make wise the simple. So we find today that a title of Dr. is quite gen- eral in its description. This man may be a doctor of philosophy, education, or of innumerable other fields; or he may hold this degree from a medical college as we have shown, but even this field has its variations. The degree D.O., which the Osteo- pathic physician is allowed by law, serves to dis- tinguish him from the other two schools of medical thought which are given a degree of M.D. But it is not only the title which serves to distinguish the Osteopathic physician. It is his results, his relief, his cures, his prevention. These all serve to make the Osteopathic medical practitioner the healer of the sick, the maintainer of the healthy, and the MODERN PHYSICIAN. A S DR . ANDREW TAYLOR still began the science and practice of Osteopathy in Kirksville, Missouri, so did Dr. O. J. Snyder perpetuate his Osteopathic concepts in Philadelphia. Dr. O. J. Snyder has been an ardent enthusiast, and a great legislative worker for Osteopathic advance- ment throughout the East. DR. O. J. SNYDER SyiMAPSlS • 1938 33 • ' CT THE studies of the Freshman year are designed primarily to introduce the new student to the basic knowledge upon which any study of the healing art must be founded. Throughout this year the key word describing the studies is normal. Instruction in Physiology and Gross Anatomy are outstanding. The instruction in Gross Anatomy is supplemented by that in microscopic anatomy where histologic specimens are examined and sketched. Closely correlated with these subjects, there is included laboratory and didactic work in Embryology. Histology, and Physiological Chemistry, where again emphasis is laid particularly upon the recognition of normal structure and function as a groundwork for the study of Pathology and Patho- logic physiology in later years. Physiology is presented as a continuation of the college Physics courses, demonstrating Dr. Still ' s concept of the body as a machine by an explanation of the body ' s functioning in accordance with certain fundamental physical principles. In Physiological Chemistry, the normal chemistry of the body ' s functions is stressed primarily, although there is opportunity for the student to see the possibility of ab- normal reactions and their effect on the body. The result of such a carefully balanced curriculum is to present the student with a well-rounded and colorful picture of the functions and structures of the human body. Dissection of cadavers is initiated into the curriculum at the beginning of the second semester. In this subject, the student is in a position to associate his study of Didactic Anatomy with actual dissection and observation. Division of the class into relatively small groups facilitates better instruction by virtue of more intimate contact between student and instructor. Throughout the term, while the formal didactic work is con- tinued on its course, many opportunities arise for the Freshman to draw his own conclusions as to the efficacy of Osteopathy. Contact with instructors, upperclassmen, and men in the pro- fession from outside the college, hospital and clinic serves to strengthen belief in Osteopathy which in some cases may have been inhibited through lack of knowledge of the art and its concept.

Lec- tures present the Sophomores with theory; labs enable them to practice it. Certain Freshman subjects are continued into the second year, while many new studies are added to the curriculum. Dissection — wherein are revealed the mysteries of Descrip- tive Anatomy and the student is enabled to see for himself I anatomical relationships which were memorized in the Freshman | year. Bacteriolgy — unveiling, then attacking the killers of . men. ' orking with such virulent organisms as Streptococcus, J Staphylococcus, Tubercle, Anthrax, and Typhoid Bacilli give the students many anxious moments and much profitable experi- ence. Here, among other things, is learned sterile technique .. which must be employed in practice. Topographic and Visceral Anatomy teach normal structure; Physiology teaches normal i function; while Pathology indicates the abnormalities of both and brings an understanding to the confused student of why he is becoming a physician. Neuro-Anatomy removes the veil from the architecture and activity of an exceedingly complex nervous system. Pharmacology is studied in a very complete and com- prehensive manner, special emphasis being placed upon the use of medicinal agents which are of proven value. All of these, accompanied by introductions to Osteopathic Technique, Prin- ciples of Osteopathy, Physical Diagnosis, Minor Surgery, and , History Taking initiate the gradual transition from student to physician. The correlation of these subjects and their use is called the Practice of Medicine. The modern application of this practice is called Osteopathy.

Perhaps their fel- low students jokingly call them b%- that name, but the clinic patients Ho not joke when they look to these Juniors for relief. Since a large part of this year is spent in the clinic, the asso- ciated subjects which are taught the students are of a very prac- tical nature. Not only are they given didactic and clinical aspects of Obstetrics, Acute Infectious Diseases, Pediatrics, and Gynecology; but they actually apply them. Since, too, in this year student interneship is a part of ever -one ' s course, thej ' learn various hospital procedures, methods of utilization of the various accepted drugs, and varieties of technique in manipula- tive procedures. The study of Cardio- ' ascular diseases occupies a prominent position in the.Junior curriculum. JMinor and major surgical courses also play an interesting and important part in the student ' s course of didactic and clinical study. Dietary, bj being so important in the daily life of all people, has devoted to it a special course in the curriculum. Diseases of the bones and joints are also studied, with emphasis placed on such subjects as gout and arthritis. The truh- Osteopathic fields of Preventive Medicine and Hygiene are studied. Other subjects in the curriculum of the Junior year include: Applied Principles, Pathology, Foot Technique, Metabolic Diseases, Gastroenter- ology, Toxicology% Rhinologj , Laryngology Urology, Psychia- try-. Roentgenologv , and Anesthesiology. There are various clinic periods de oted to heart cases, bone and joint pathology, and the presentation of varied cases.

Sarg Charlie Tavener SYNAPSIS « 1038 71 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY FOR three years, we, as Osteopathic neophytes, have cHmbed the ladder of therapeutic knowledge. Today we find ourselves within shooting distance of the top. As we near the end of our formal edu- cation, we stop and look back — not with regret, but with a feeling of warmth from our many pleasant associations together. We gaze at the foot of the ladder. Time turns back to the fall of 1935. There was the line-up to pay the first tuition, either by promises or cash of our sojourn together. In the line was a Canadian Scotchman, a lad of German descent from ' irginia, a sunkist Californian, and numerous Jersey skeeters plus an even greater number of Pennsylvania Dutchmen. Over the whole line hung a haze of green, which spelled Frosh. My! What a year that was!! We became a bunch of Cardio-vascular symptoms, walking around upon a pair of uncertain extremities. We had dyspnea from too much Anatomical exertion, palpitation from Physiological accidents, and spots before the eyes from our highly successful Freshman Formal and Charity Ball m.emories. Murmurs and regurgitations of what was to be our fate during the coming Sophomcre year came to us from the class a year ahead. Spells of vertigo overtook us when we thought of what was yet to come. As treatment for these symptoms, we took numerous in- jections of sleigh rides and weenie roasts, which proved to be invaluable aids through their relaxing effects. However, a few went into acute cardiac spasm, which was aggravated by some moonlight nights — and they, of course, got married. Upon our return for the much-talked and cussed about Sophomore year, we soon became Obstetrical patients. We had a rapidly growing tum.or, which was complicated by the fact that it was in a malposition. Our tumor was becoming a cranial one in type and pain. The nerv ' ous system seemed to be developing with amazing speed. The digestive system was rather deficient. As the tumor grew and we became due for the delivery of the goods at Mid-years, complications of a severe order set in with amazing speed. We had spells of nausea when we were told that we must deliver Nervous Anatomj-, ' isceral Anatomy, Topographical .-Ynat- omy and Dissection at one time. Up to this time we had only to deliver one brain child a day, but the thought of four births in one day caused our blood pressure to go sky-rocketing. Surely one of the toxemias of preg- nancy had set in upon us. We immediately went into labor. Some of the brain children had to be delivered with high forceps, but finally it was all over. Those who had a breech presentation, naturally had to take re-exams. In fact, a few Cesareans were performed for the small price of thirty dollars. Som.e succumbed, but mcst sur ' ived and are now living and well. The second stage of our labors was less e entful. We were now multiparas with SVNAPSIS 1038 72 much experience. Any further labor pains were taken as the course of events. When we again became due in June, we dehvered with much more ease and with fewer tears and necessary repairs. As Juniors we became psychological mishaps. We all had a neurosis or a psychosis. A large majority had illusions of grandeur. However, all were well cured by the shock treatment given in February. Anyone who didn ' t take a re-exam was a si ssy. Then came the Utopia. We were doctors — at least we were called such by the clinic patients. In a few short weeks we became self-proclaimed diagnosticians, obstetricians and noEe-dropless rhinologists. When we did our intern work, some suffered from severe attacks of nursitis, a condition brought on by several of our more beauteous nurses plus the ever present roving eyes and romantic imaginations of our fellow classmates. As yet, the prognosis looks favor- able and none have completely succumbed. However, there are a few sus- piciously high temperatures, which seem to have a characteristic week end rise. Among our other Junior accomplishments, we have become Lab tech- nicians and Pediatricians, par excellence. We know of nothing more pleasing than to draw up one of the many easy chairs found in the clinic on a Tues- day or Thursdav afternoon, and listen with rapture to the melodious squalls and counter-squalls of the more brilliant of Philadelphia ' s future citizens. Below the soprano and tenor notes of these Osteopathic children, can be heard a low, sonorous rumble — with an occasional, well-placed damn. We can ' t ofhcially imagine what the source of the lower notes is — but we do have some rather accurate suspicions. Upstairs our technicians are at work. In the Chemistry laboratory we find a urinary field day, while in the Pathology laboratory, our classmates are counting those bad little leucocytes, who seem to have heard nothing of birth control. On the slightest excuse, they make the Dionnes look like reproductive sissies. After the clinic hours were over, we did have time to have a very suc- cessful Prom at the Hotel Philadelphian, although some had to bribe the stork to forget about their obstetrical patients for one evening. So our Junior year has finished. A lot of worries, joys and hard work has been our lot together. Our scholastic life, we feel, would not have been complete without them. As we turn our retrospective gaze forward, we see our goal, Doctor of Osteopathy before us. A few dangerous rungs are ahead, but with the guidance of those who have preceded us, we again start our climb upwards. Beyond we see a road — not paved with ease and idleness, but one which must be conscientiously traveled. We see responsibility at every corner. However, behind every responsibility we see the glow of the reward, satis- faction, which we know belongs to all who accept and practice the laws of a true physician. We have accepted its subtle challenge — and are pre- pared to march forward — together.

The time is so divided that the usual sum- mer vacation is cut down to one month, the remaining two months being spent in the hospital and clinics. With the official start of the Senior year in September, the day is so divided that the morning hours are spent in class, and the afternoon hours in laboratory and general clinic. As a carry- over from the Junior year, one group of students serves an interne- ship in the hospital during the normal day. However, if need be, they are on twenty-four-hour service. The didactic work of the first semester includes many subjects which are continued from the Junior year. New courses are instituted in Jurisprudence, Proctology, Neurology, Ophthalmology, Otology, Respiratory Diseases, Kidney Diseases, Blood Diseases, Endocrinology, Der- matology, Radiology and Orthopedic Surgery. Work in the special clinics starts in the second semester of this year. The class is divided into small groups of six or seven students. Each has definite assignments under the heads of these specialties. In addition to the special clinical work, several new didactic subjects are added to the already large curriculum. These include Bronchoscopy, Mental Hygiene, Tuberculosis, Syphilology, Electrocardiography, Physical Therapy, and Vene- reology. At the middle of the second semester the preparation for the state board examinations is started. This is an intensive two-month review of all subjects in which examinations are required by the various states.

In order that the book be of greater significance to the entire class, the policy was instituted early to have as many articles as possible submitted to the editors from those interested. This compact steft worked as a unit to mold the many articles and sug- gestions into the present volume. Each staff member contributed a fund of experience gained from e.xecutive offices held on former college publications. With this experience, and with a wholehearted desire to submit a Synapsis worthy of the college, the staff has worked diligently and with many dis- cussions to complete the present volume. The spirit of cooperation existing among the Juniors in relation to this group, and the willingness to help whenever asked, has made the task a pleasant one. May the efforts of the Glass of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-nine to compile a true photographic representation of our college, ' c tuf Cf- W. faculty and classes be considered adequate to the task. . . mifSfcl A SYNAPSIS - 1038 Arc w ' CARDIO-VASCULAR SOCIETY Front Row, Left to Right: Emanuel, De Mattia, F.

Periodic meetings convene at which various physicians prominent in this branch of the practice of Osteopathy contribute practical information gathered from their wide experience. Several open meetings are held throughout the school year so that the entire student body may benefit from the activities of this organization.

It has met weekly for the past year, and has presented lectures by various men of the staff and field concerning the practical problems of the general practitioner. Following each lecture a round-table discussion was held in which questions and personal problems were brought up and discussed. This society has proved to be a great aid to the students and an instru- ment in making a better understanding between the practicing physician and the potential graduate. The success of this society is entireh due to the generosity of the men who ha e so graciously given their time.

Since its organization on February 24, 1902, it has sponsored both social and scientific programs that have become an indispensable part of the extra-curricular life of every student. Throughout the school year, prominent men are presented as lecturers on various Osteopathic and general topics, and round table discussions are held to foster educational interests at P. C. O. At appropriate times, in- formal dances are held in the College auditorium which serve greatly in the promotion of good fellowship among the students. % SYNAPSIS • 1038 113 STUDENT COUNCIL Front RoK ' , Smith, Koch, Avery, Professor Erb, Christian.

Affairs of class and school are brought up and thoroughly discussed at the monthly meetings. Here, the opinions of the more cautious and experienced faculty blends with the newer and fresher viewpoint of the student, turning out a product well formed and self insured to meet the average student ' s wholehearted appro ' al. Due to the progress and increased recognition of the Osteopathic pro- fession, this year ' s Council has had to meet new problems of a broader scope. The prime object of the Council is to promote better feeling and satis- faction among the student bod} ; thus helping in turning out men and women with not only Osteopathic knowledge, but Osteopathic enthusiasm.

The elimination of var- sity sports in favor of intramural activities reflects, in a general way, the nature of the change now in effect. Judging from the support given by the students to the new program and the widespread interest they have shown, it is safe to say that it will form an integral part of the general activity program. The various tournaments and games that were conducted all proved to be very popular, and afforded much pleasure and enjoyment for players and spectators alike. The activities ranged from struggling, hard-fought touch football and basketball games to the more sedate game of chess. Each was in its proper place and so regulated that a goodly percentage of the students were included in the actual participation. Each fraternity and non-fraternity team took part in a whole-hearted, sportsmanlike manner. The most gratifying feature of the entire program was the spirit each par- ticipant showed. There can be no doubt that the remembrance of many of the contests will linger long in everyone ' s memory. Yes, much longer than the aches and bruises incurred while playing.

It is an officially recognized training school in the State of Pennsylvania, and upon graduation nurses are eligible for State Board examination for the degree of Registered Nurse. The educational program is one of the finest in Pennsylvania as the instructors are all members of the College Faculty who are skilled in imparting the benefit of their years of study and experience. In addition to service in the Osteopathic Hospital, the student nurse spends six months of her third year at the Philadelphia General Hos- pital to gain experience in handling types of cases not often seen in smaller, private hospitals. Here she also completes her training in Materia Medica and Pediatrics. To be a nurse, a girl must have a love for the calling, a love that is deep and sincere; a willingness to serve humanity, often at the expense of her personal happiness and comfort; a sound, healthy body to enable her to carry on when she wants to quit; and an unquenchable personality that allows her to smile when she wants to cry.

The reason for its incep- tion was to raise funds to enable the hospital to secure a separate Nurses ' Home. ithin six months, this newly organized group of one hundred lay women had not only bought a property and made extensive alterations in it to meet the needs of the nurses, but also had it furnished and equipped ready for occupancy by August 1st. Having accomplished its primary purpose, it then confined its efforts to the complete supplying of linens to the hospital and its nurses ' home. Throughout the years, this organization has continued its interest in the nurses and still supplies them with furniture and other comforts which they would not otherwise have. In place of one nurses ' home, there are now four, and new equipment is constantly being needed. The Women ' s Auxiliary now has a membership of over two hundred. The members of its Sewing Committee meet each Monday throughout the year on the fourth floor of the hospital, and there make up all the linen supplies used throughout the hospital. The cost of these linens averages between $2,500 and $3,000 annually. SYNAPSIS • 1038 122 SENIOR CLASS DIREC Norma Lee Amy William H. Cable, Jr. Washington, D.
