MUTTART 1908-1911 With the incorporation of the Phihidelphia Col- lege and Infirmary of Osteopathy on the 24th of Janu- ary, 1899, came the realization of the dreams of its founders, Dr. O. J. Snyder and Dr. M. W. Pressly. The first classes were held in offices in the Stephen Girard Building, 21 So. 12th Street, by a faculty of seven professors. The first class of two stvidents gradu- ated in 1900. In 1902 Dr. James E. Burt served as Dean of the College, which was then located in larger quarters at the Witherspoon Building. The next year the college was relocated at 33rd and Arch Streets, and Dr. Charles W. McCurdy became Dean, filling the Deanship from 1903-1908. From 1908 until 1916, the school was physically shifted to various locations within the city. During this period the Osteopathic Hospital of Philadelpha was incorporated and became a basic adjunct to the school. In 1911 when Dr. Arthur M. Flack, Sr., became Dean of the school, there were 250 graduates of the Philadelphia College and Infirmary scattered through- out the United States. By the year 1924 an equal number had been graduated. The school was now located adjacent to the 50-bed hospital in the vicinity of 19th and Spring Garden Streets. In January, 1929, a public campaign for funds met the needs for a new hospital and college building at its present site at Forty-eighth and Spruce Streets. The new college building was opened to classes Novem- DEAN A. M. FLACK, SR. 1911-1924 nn sun ber 16, 1929, under the deanship of Dr. Edgar O. Holden. During his administration until 1943 a total of 13 50 students were graduated from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy. Dr. Otterbein Dressier assumed the Deanship in 1944 and served in that capacity until March, 195 0. After a period of adjustment, where the duties of the Dean were capably handled by various members of the administration and faculty. Dean Sherwood Mercer was installed on March 15, 1954. The alumni family of P.C.O. now totals 2368, including this class. In 1-951, the five buildings now comprising the North Center Division of P.C.O. were purchased, and have added appreciably to the clinical and hospital facilities available to the school.. Another important step in the progress of the school resulted from the amalgamation of the college and hospital in August, 1953. The acquisition of a new school building site at Forty-seventh and Spruce Streets in November, 19 53, makes possible the expansion of the hospital at Forty- eighth and Spruce Streets by 200 beds. The new school building will be a six-story structure and will contain adequate facilities including laboratories and clinics. This briefly summarizes the rapid growth of our school, and its future seems well assured. It is hoped that the dreams and plans of its founders have been partially fulfilled, and that their traditions will be con- tinued by this and future graduating classes. DEAN E. O.

BRANDT President, ' Philadelphia College College of Osteopathy In years to come, this volume will stand on the shelves of every loyal son of PCO, Class of 1956, and hundreds of friends will see it and leaf through its pages. I know the editors have labored diligently to present in these pages a faithful record of the College as it stands, Anno Domini 1956, just past mid-century, approaching the cen- tennial of osteopathic foundation in the field of health, and with a wide vista opening up ahead. The pictures that are fresh and colorful to us today will then have taken on the glamour of the past and the aura of antiquity. I can speak from the other end of the scale, look- ing back nearly 50 years to my own year book in High School and College, and later PCO. When the work of the editors is well done, as herein, the backward glance into the past is as inspiring as the vistas which now open up ahead for the graduates of this year. Confucius said that, Man who looks back sees his mis- takes piled up like mountains. It is, therefore, not too healthy to be looking backward as an habitual procedure. It is healthy, however, to look back and assay the degree of progress made in the intervening years. It is healthy to look back and to see in the records of the past the fundamental strength that served as the springboard for the advances in the intervening years. It is healthy to draw from the records of the past the inspira- tion which caused this book to be assembled and which imbued the hearts and minds of the editorial staff and the whole class in collaboration. Mens et Manus, as our College seal puts it, the hand with the mind to guide it, does the work of osteopathic assist- ance to the body seeking health and recovery. Mind and heart and hand went to the making of this book. In recommending it to you, be you senior just graduating, or be you friend of the College interested in its output annually of trained physi- cians, I ask you to keep it and treasure it, and in the years to come check back at what is here unfolded to you and what the record of the intervening years has set down as the work and the progress contributed by these the members of the Class of 1956. PCO has had many great graduates. Its classes at the commencement season rally in greater or less numbers to the reunion bugle call of the Alumni Association. I know that when the Class of 1956 answers that call in the years to come, each member will bring back with him the treasures that he finds in his own book of memories, refreshed by the depiction of college scenes and college personalities in this the 1956 Synapsis. To the class, we of the administration, the Dean, Regis- trar Rowland, the Faculty as a whole, extends its heartiest good wishes and its complete confidence that the record of the class in its work in the world will bring to fruition and enrich the progress of the osteopathic profession wherever its mem- bers work. Four years ago they were gathered together, strangers to each other, from many States and many college campuses. As they step out the doors of the College today, they are unified by that bond that can come only to a band of men when they have worked together shoulder to shoulder through the most vital four years of their educational life. William E. Brandt H. WALTER EVANS Board Secretary DR. THEODORE W. STEIGLER Director of Clinics DR. NICHOLAS D. TRETTA Student Health Physician • . s Commencement for the Class of 195 6 is an exciting occasion. It is time for congratulations — and well-deserved they are — on the assumption of the long-sought role of doctor, and for the beginning of the rewards which only he who has helped the ill back to health can know. The relationship of a graduate to his professional school is different from that of graduates of other types of institu- tions. In effect, a doctor can never leave his college. In the first wild break into freedom after four years of vigorous discipline some try to sever the tie. But it can ' t be done. There may be no overt relationship and negative — often un- happy — things are sometimes said or done. The tie cannot be severed. Whether he will or no the doctor ' s career will be affected not only by his training but also by the way his col- lege progresses and develops after he has been graduated. The Class of 1956 has as a group made a good record. P.C.O. looks forward to watching the class fulfill the promise which its undergraduate years have made manifest. P.C.O. confidently expects the Class of 19 56 to make a real contribu- tion to its chosen profession. This class has shown an increas- ing solidarity around and insight into the osteopathic approach to healing and health care. P.C.O. knows that the Class of 19 5 6 — along with all other classes — expects it to fulfill the promise which has made its history and which is generated by the dynamics of the philosophy of the osteopathic concept on which the college was founded. P.C.O. pledges itself to this task. In making this pledge P.C.O. is conscious of the togetherness which binds it to its graduates. Each member of the Class of 1956 his left part of himself here and he takes away part of the college. From this togetherness each gains strength and in this strength lies the promise of the fulfillment of the destiny of P.C.O. and of each doctor who calls her Alma Mater. ( Ummiskaim Sherwood R.

I do hereby affirm my loyalty to the profession I am about to enter. I will be mindful always of my great responsibility to preserve the health and life of my patients, to retain their confidence and respect, both as a physician and a friend who will guard their secrets with scrupulous honor and fidelity, to perform faithfully my professional duties, to employ only those recognized methods of treatment consistent with good judgment and with my skill and ability, keeping in mind always nature ' s laws and the body ' s inherent capacity for recovery. I will be ever vigilant in aiding the general welfare of the community, sustaining its laws and institutions, not engaging in those practices which will in any way bring shame or discredit upon myself or my profession. I will give no deadly drugs to any, though it be asked of me. I will endeavor to work in accord with my colleagues in a spirit of progressive cooperation and never by word or by act cast imputations upon them or their rightful practices. I will look with respect and esteem upon all those who have taught me my art. To my college, I will be loyal and strive always for its best and for the interests of the students who will come after me. I will be ever alert to and adhere to and develop the princ- iples of Osteopathy as taught by Andrew Taylor Still. swear by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius, and Hygeia, and Panacea, and all the gods, and goddesses that according to my ability and judgment. I Will keep this oath and this stipulation — to reckon him who taught me this art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him, and relieve his necessities if required to look upon his offspring in the same footing as my own brothers and to teach them this art if they shall wish to learn it. Without fee or stipulation and that by precept lecture, and every other mode of instruction, I will impart a knowledge of the art to my own sons, and those of my teachers, and to disciples bound by a stipulation and oath According to the law of medicine but to none others, I will follow the system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider For the benefit of my patients and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous, I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked nor suggest any such counsel, and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion. With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and practice my art. I will not cut persons laboring under the stone, but will leave this to be done by men who are practitioners of this work. Into whatever houses I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption; and further from the seduction of females or males, of freemen and slaves. Whatever in connection with my professional practice or not in connection with it, I see or hear, in the 0- life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge as reckoning that all such should be kept secret. While I continue to keep this oath unviolated , may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art respected by If ' POKRATH ' ' ' times! But should I trespass and violate this oath, may the reverse be my lot! THE Iflif 3 BLANCHE CLOW ALLEN, A.B., B.S. (Educ), D.O., Assistant Professor, Anatomy CLARENCE E.

' 56 ' GRADUATES c L I N I C A L Y E A R S HOSPITAL SERVICES DEPARTMENTS of SURGERY and ANESTHESIOLOGY JAMES MADISON EATON, D.O., F.A.C.O.S. Chief Attending Surgeon General Surgery, Orthopedics, Proctology, Urology, and Anesthesiology are con- sidered integral parts of the Department of Surgery. In the first year minor surgery is thoroughly covered. The student is schooled in the principles of asepsis, antisepsis, sterilization, dressings, sutures, ligatures, the operating room technique and instruments used in Surgery. The second year course comprises a series of lectures and demonstrations on surgical trauma and infections. The study of the fundamental principles of anesthesia, asepsis, the control of hemorrhage, operative indications, post operative care, surgical technique, and methods of operation gives the student an intelligent grasp of the purpose and design of operative procedure. The traumatic surgery course is continued through the third year. In addition a course in anesthesiology is presented covering the methods of producing anesthesia, the selection of an anesthetic and methods of administration. The third year is replete with many other surgical courses. The general surgery course deals with regional surgery and is complemented by the Cadaveric surgery course in the dissecting room. The Proctology course reviews the anatomy and physiology of the rectum. The etiology, pathology and treatment of the various rectal diseases are considered. Three Urology courses are presented covering the subject in great detail. Fourth year students observe and often assist in operations at both 48th St. and North Center. Here the techniques of Anesthesiology are seen first hand. Histories and physicals are accomplished by senior students and post operative care is noted, observed and very often actively engaged in by the senior student. V- ' ADIOLOGY In the field of Radiology the first year is spent in learning the funda- mentals of radio physics and radio biology. To this is added the teaching of roentgen rays, radium and radio isotopes as they pertain to the diagnosis and treatment of disease and the allied fields of research and investigation. Physiology is the main item of teaching during the second year. The students meet at one of the three fluoroscopic stations of the Department of Radiology and examine the heart, lungs, and gastro-intestinal systems. In the third year the student studies Pathology as revealed by the roentgen ray. This is accomplished by the viewing of film transparencies and lantern slides. It is by this system that the student familiarizes himself with the pathologic phenomena associated with traumatic, metabolic, inflammatory and neoplastic conditions, together with the development and degenerative states affecting the various systems of the body. The fourth year student is offered the opportunity to actively participate in conferences set up by the Department of Radiology, the clinics of the College as well as conferences and discussions with the staff of the hospital. PAUL T. LLOYD, D.O. M.Sc.(Ost), D.Sc, F.A.C.O.S. Chief Attending Radiologist : m - ' BSTETRICS and G YNECOLOGY During the latter part of the second year and throughout the third year demonstrations and chnical teachings are given in Obstetrics and Gynecology. These courses cover in orderly manner a review of anatomy and physiology as they pertain to obstetrics and gynecology. Normal and abnormal obstetrics are covered and the didactic work is supplemented by clinical demonstrations, manikin work, slides, movies and individual instruction. In gynecology the students are given lectures and cUnical conferences covering gynecology in all its phases. This is supplimented by operative clinics, slides, movies, etc. During the fourth year students are assigned at various times for designated periods to services in the out-patient clinics and in the hospitals. In this time they observe obstetrical patients throughout all phases of pregnancy, follow patients through labor to delivery and the puerperium. Under direct supervision of the attending staff opportunity is given the student to assist in the deliveries of normal cases in the hospitals. Students are assigned to cover all gynecological ward patients in the hospitals. They take histories, examine the patients and observe or assist at operations and follow the progress of the patients until discharged. In the out-patient department each stu dent attends a number of obstetrical patients and cares for the patient throughout the course of her pregnancy until she is delivered. Gynecological patients seen in the cHnic are examined and treated under the care of the senior student with supervision of the teach- mg staff. During the fourth year frequent conferences are held at which time pathological cases are discussed. FRANK E. GRUBER, D.O.

Director, Consulting Physician The required work in Pediatrics consists of didactic lectures, clinics, section instruc- tion, and case presentations. In the second year the anatomy, physiology, and develop- ment of the child are stressed. Careful consideration is given to the physical examination, hygiene, and feeding in childhood. A course in infectious diseases is also offered in the second year which covers the etiology, symptomatology, and diagnosis of the more common diseases. In the third year there is a systemic approach utilized in the presentation of three courses. The first course deals with the general diagnosis, symptomatology and treat- ment of the gastro-intestinal diseases peculiar to childhood and infancy. In the second course lectures are given on diseases of the respiratory system covering the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases peculiar to. childhood. The third course consists of lectures on congenital heart disease and genito-urinary disease. The last year is divided between hospital and clinic training. In the hospital senior students take case histories, do physical examinations, and may follow the ho spital management of pediatric problems. In the clinic patients are assigned to a student who takes a complete history and does a thorough physical examination. The findings are reviewed by the staff supervisor and diagnosis and treatment are discussed. If consulta- tions with other departments are deemed necessary the students are encouraged to attend the consultation and discuss the recommendations. In addition to case conferences regularly held in the clinic, a short course in con- tagious diseases is given at Philadelphia Hospital for Contagious Diseases, where enlight- ening ward walks round out the students ' education. ,« NTERNAL Med ICINE WILLIAM F. DAIBER, D.O., F.A.C.O.I. Professor — Chairman The history of the Department of Osteopathic Medicine as an organized department dates back to 1918. During this year Dr. C. Paul Snyder was Professor of Cardio-respiratory Diseases and also taught physical diagnosis. In the early nineteen twenties Dr. Snyder became interested in otorhinolaryngology. He developed an interest in and sponsored the lite Ralph Fischer who in 1924 assumed the leadership in the Department of Osteopathic Medicine. Under Dr. Fischer who served as chairman from 1924 until 1951 the department experienced its greatest development. Under his sponsorship and train- ing, eight men in the department became certified in Osteopathic Medicine by the American Osteopathic Board of Internal Medicine. There are now 28 members in the department who supply 462 platform lecture hours yearly in the sixteen courses in Osteopathic Medicine. In addition the special clinics in Allergy, Rheumatic dis- eases, Hematology, Endocrine diseases, Gastro-Intestinal diseases and Cardiovascular diseases are conducted under the leadership of the senior members of the department. The teaching of cardiovascular diseases has been greatly aug- mented by a teaching grant from the National Heart Institute. This has resulted in an additional 1600 teaching hours in cardiovascular diseases yearly, given by 10 members of the department. Additional valuable equipment has been purchased with grant funds. An Edu- cational Cardioscope has been placed in the heart stations at both 48th St. and 20th St. This has greatly facilitated the teaching of ausculation. A library of outstanding movie films and lantern slides on cardiovascular diseases has been established. Plastic heart models (12) illustrating cardiac silhouettes are utilized in the teaching of heart disease. A portable cardioscope has recently been purchased for bed- side teaching of ausculation on an audio-visual basis. The teaching of internal medicine continues in the intern and resident years of training. Starting in July 195 6 we shall have five medical residents in training and in addition a senior teaching fellow in cardiovascular diseases. The teaching aims of this department are embodied in a solid foundation of the ar ' : of history taking and physical diagnosis. Super- imposed are the systemic diseases, didactic lectures and the very impor- tant clinical experience in out-patient clinic and the hospital.

Chairman — Department of Anatomy A total of 756 hours is spent with anatomy in the freshman ye.ir. Of this total 216 hours cover the microscopic courses of histology and embryology. The remaining 540 hours are de- voted to gross anatomy in the form of lectures, conferences and laboratory dissection in a system- atic study of the human body. Dissection is carried out in small groups. In the third year the course in Applied Anatomy endeavors to discuss anatomical facts from the point of view of their application to practical problems met by the physician. Here there is emphasis on the relationship of anatomy to the practice of Osteopathic Medicine. The Harvey School of Anatomy is a regu- larly chartered institution for the study of prac- tical anatomy, and is housed in the 48th Street building. A collection of special dissections, speci- mens and models is on display and arranged for study. The facilities afford excellent opportuni- ties for detailed investigation of normal and abnormal structures. The dissecting room is equipped with tables and cabinets of special demonstration material. PROFESSOR EDWIN H. CRESSMEN, D.O. M.Sc.(Ost) Microscopic Anatomy The museum of the College contains speci- mens and models in mahogany cases in the main auditorium. The collection includes both normal and pathological specimens, serial sections, dissec- tions and mounted preparations illustrating the major diseases. Among the most notable are the collection of bone specimens, human embryos, Spalteholz preparations, development of the cardio-vascular system in plaster, etc. The anatomy laboratory houses a museum declared by visiting state board inspectors as one of the best in the world maintained by any school of the healing arts. The desirability of flexible spines for teach- ing and research is great, for they provide possibilities not approached by any other method. In order to demonstrate that Dr. Halladay ' s method is reproducible, flexible spines have been prepared in the Department of Anatomy accord- ing to his directions. Such specimens are necessary for the proper study and demonstration of total, regional and intersegmental motion; for a clearer and more ac- curate understanding of the physiologic motions of the spine; and for the study of the mechanical principles through which they operate.

Schall, Jr., A.E., D.O., Assistant Professor The present teaching program of the Department of Physiology consists of a multiple approach to the education of the student. Didactic lectures are presented in regular lecture periods, and during laboratory periods a portion of the class sits in con- ference with a member of the department, at which time both the current didactic problems and also pr.-ictical applications of the subject at hand are discussed. In the first year students are presented the basic principles of physiology; covering blood, circulation, respiration, and the fundamental muscular and nervous physiology. In the second year the subject matter comprises digestion, kidney, endocrine system and the central nervous system of special senses. The second year also covers pharmacology and toxicology. The Department of Chemistry though separate, is an integral part of any consideration of physiology. Courses are presented in physiological chemistry with considerable stress upon the chemistry of the metabolic processes of the human body during health and disease. In the second year laboratory instruction in the techniques of blood chemistry and instruction in the use of special instruments and equipment are given. It is the plan of the departments to continue this program, because we feel that over the years it has worked well for the benefit of the students. In the future lies the amplification of laboratory space and facilities, and we look forward with great anticipa- tion to our new buildings with large animal rooms and opportunity to do animal experi- mentation on a larger scale. Such plans must necessarily include, not only the current part-time teaching personnel, but also an expansion into full time personnel with opportunity to carry out research, as already planned in the department.

Robert H. Abbott, D.O. In the first year three courses .ire presented. The Fundament.ils and History course covers the development of the philosophy of osteopathy in historical perspective. It is here the student is introduced to the importance of the musculo-skeletal component of disease in the body as a unit. The course in manipulative diagnosis gives fundamental consideration of the mechanics of the spinal column segmentally and as a complex, stressing the importance of structural-functional relationship and their interdependence. The third course continues in the same vein with detailed consideration of the func- tional anatomy of the vertebral column and the general nature and effects of the lesion locally and segmentally through the central and autonomic nervous systems. Likewise the second year offers three courses. Appendicular diagnosis and tech- niques, and detailed study of the spine and its physiologic movements leading to prin- ciples of adjustment and corrective forces are covered in detail. Four courses are presented during the third year. A course in diagnosis and man- agement is given by a group of visiting lecturers. The topics are multiple in content and approach. Here the student may weigh differences of opinion and realize the various approaches that may be used in difficult problems. An invaluable course in athletic injuries is given, very often complemented by voluntary night sessions, depending on student interest. The diagnosis and treatment of athletic injuries, with techniques for strapping, are taught in detail. Courses in special techniques and bedside technique are also taught in the third year. The fourth year finds the student utilizing the ten courses in the clinic and hospital. In the clinic the senior student aims to evaluate the osteopathic indices by palpation and direct methods in conjunction with history taking and dealing with the presenting symptom or symptom pattern. Hospital clerkship involves application of bedside manipulative techniques. PROFESSOR DAVID HEILIG, A.B., D.O. 84 Seven women and 373 men answered the roll call of the student body when college opened this year. The Class of ' 59 began its climb to the D.O. degree with a population of 87. The sophomores opened with 98. The junior and senior classes each had 7 . The 3 80th member of the student body was R. Bayard Miller, Assistant Professor of Anatomy, who was registered as a special student. The average age of the freshman class was 24 years. The overall college age average was 2 5. Forty-nine per cent of our students were married and 3 5 per cent or 134 were veterans of either World War II or the Korean conflict. Seventy-three freshmen had baccalaureate degrees. It was interesting to note that 81 per cent of our students had undergraduate degrees and eight students had higher degrees. There were 153 colleges represented in our student body. Since our students came from only 1 5 states and the District of Colum- bia, this was a very healthy spread in terms of academic identity. 52S?5c THE FRESHMAN CLASS— 1956 From left to right . . .

Pres.: Albert D ' Alonzo Pres.: Js Vice Pres.: Richard Deigh; Sect.: Donald Stanton Treas.: Anthony Ciminera Vice Pres.: Donald Sect.: John Scott Treas.: James Walla V •i =r The Atlas Club was founded in Kirksville, Missouri, in 1898. It is the largest and oldest national osteopathic fraternal order, having a chapter at each of the osteopathic colleges. Styloid chapter, at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy, was founded in 1924 with the objectives of exercising fraternal functions and furthering osteopathic educa- tion and research. The brotherhood, which recently purchased a new eighteen room chapter house at 4636 Spruce Street, has consistently been a leader in PCO campus activities and is an integral part of campus life both socially and educationally. Twenty- eight new members were activated into the Atlas Club this year. 106 PHI SIGMA GAMMA ZETA CHAPTER The Phi Sigma Gamma Fraternity was formed in June, 1915, in Chicago by a merger of two chapters of Phi Omicron Gamma and three chapters of Phi Sigma Beta. At that time both of these groups were National Osteopathic Fraternities. The Zeta chapter at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy was organized in Sep tember, 1917, through the concerted efforts of Dr. Nathaniel Boyd, 2nd, and Dr. Rice le Grand Cooper who were alumni of the Alpha chapter at Kirksville, Missouri. Chapters at each of the Osteopathic Colleges put Phi Sigrna Gamma on a national basis: — Alpha Chapter at Kirksville, Mo.; Beta Chapter at Los Angeles, California; Gamma Chapter at Chicago, 111.; Delta Chapter at Des Moines, Iowa; Epsilon Chapter at Kansas City, Mo.; and Zeta Chapter here in Philadelphia, Penna. Each year the fraternity has many social and educational activities. Early on the fraternity calendar are the rushing functions which are designed to be instructive and entertaining. Each Christmas the fraternity gives a party complete with a Santa Claus for all the children from the clinic. The social highlight of the year is the Alumni Banquet each spring when alumni and brothers gather to renew old acquaintances and to make new ones. Pres.: Charles H. Kroh Vice Pres.: Walter O.

IOTA TAU SIGMA DELTA CHAPTER Senior Members: Frank Caruso, Francis Cerra, Ralph Luongo, John PoluUich, II, Joseph Yurkanin, Frank Zaccardi, Michael Zarrilli. Delta chapter of Iota Tau Sigma was founded and received its charter in 1903. National headquarters is in Kirksville, Missouri, where the founding of the fraternity took place on December 3, 1902. Delta is the oldest osteopathic fraternity on the PCO campus. In maintaining this position, it has made tremendous strides in the field of true fraternalism, in regard to the college, the fraternity and osteopathy itself. Celebration of Delta ' s fiftieth anniversary in November 195 3 was climaxed by the purchase of a new house at 4640 Spruce Street. This long-awaited reality was made possible through the efforts of a group of the alumni. In September 195 5, an alumni organization was formed, electing Dr. Wm. Baldwin as its first chairman. The objectives of the fraternity, shall be the affording of substantial benefits and the promotion of Fraternal relations during college and professional life and the advance- ment of the science of osteopathy, as taught by Andrew Taylor Still and his followers. With these objectives in mind, our brotherhood at Delta which totals sixty-nine active members, plus alumni are better prepared for their tasks as osteopathic physicians.

CADUCEUS CHAPTER This nonsectarian, national fraternal organization was founded at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy in 1924 by ten men, a few of whom are still members of the P.C.O. faculty. There is a L.O.G. chapter at each of the osteopathic colleges with the exception of Kirksville and plans are now in progress to activate a chapter there. L.O.G. fraternity has a very extensive alumni program with alumni chapters throughout the nation. Each year there is a convention at the national level bringing together the brotherhood from all over the country. The convention city for this year was Asbury Park, New Jersey. In 1957, Los Angeles is the chosen site. Caduceus, the founding chapter of L.O.G. fraternity, has presently over one hundred members and the chapter house is located at 242 S. 47th St. f 1 CHRISTIAN OSTEOPATHIC SOCIETY Th e Christian osteopathic society was founded in 19 56 By Robert England ' 56. A world-wide organization for physicians in practice has grown out of this. The purpose of the society is to provide fellow- ship, Bible study, and other functions for students who believe in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, and who seek to help mankind spiritually as well as physically. In view of the important position of the physician as a leader in his community, Christian service is em- phasized. Pres.: Robert England Vice Pres.: Lester Burge, Jr. Sect.-Treas.: John C.

HILLEL Pres.: Samson Inwald The Hillel organization has been serving the cultural and spiritual needs of the Jewish students of P.C.O. for more than six years. Through its programs of lectures, concerts and social affairs, the Hillel Foundation in the Philadelphia area makes possible cultural opportunities outside the college community as well as within it. Founded by Dr. Gordon of Hillel, the Branch at P.C.O. has had Rabbi Samuel Berkowitz of the Louis Marshall House as its advisor for the past two years. Under Rabbi Berkowitz ' s able leadership, a continuous program of regular meetings has been instituted at P.C.O. These luncheon meetings, complementing the extremely full academic program carried by the students, are exclusive with the Hillel Foundation at P.C.O. At any one of these sessions it is not unusual to have up to eighty members of the organization assembled to lunch on sandwiches and cokes and then to spend the re- mainder of the hour listening to a lecture or watching a film. Topics are variegated, but all are intended to educate, inspire or bring into sharper focus our responsibilities to the community and profession. Available to all Hillel members are the activities carried on at the Louis Marshall House, 202 S. 36th Street. Here, weekly dances, social and religious programs, as well as dining facihties are utihzed by the affiliates at P.C.O. Counseling service headed by Rabbi Berkowitz and his staff has been used by many of the members of the organization. We at P.C.O. are proud of the fact that we are the only graduate school in the country to have a Hillel Foundation on campus. Vice Pres.: Erwin Kli; 115 INACRE Linacre society is the Catholic physicians ' guild at P.C.O., meeting the first Tuesday of each month, at which time students as well as practicing physicians meet to discuss topics concerning the many varied moral and ethical aspects of medical practice. Linacre is honored in having as its spiritual director Reverend John Erhardt, S.J., of the faculty of nearby St. Joseph ' s College. The culmination of the year ' s activities is held each spring at which time the Catholic members of the student body and the practicing physicians and their guests attend the Annual Communion Breakfast.

The following year members of the School of Nursing lent their support by joining the group, thus widening its musical scope. In the past five years, under the direction of Frank Kuykendall, the group has steadily progressed to its present status. This year, besides entertaining at various college functions, the Glee Club has sung at several churches throughout the city. At the annual spring concert several sacred and secular numbers were performed. The final portion of the concert was devoted to selections from Carousel. The group has been very fortunate to have Leonard Worth as its regular pianist.

Through these representatives, all students have a voice in matters pertaining to their welfare and organizations. The student council exercises a general supervision over student organi- zations, activities and serves to promote cooperation and harmony among the students, faculty, administration and alumni. Dean Sherwood R. Mercer acts as faculty advisor and mediator. This year student council undertook the task of revising the constitution and workings started by the body in 1954. Two dances, one in the spring and another in the fall, highlighted the year ' s social calendar along with the annual student council picnic which was held at Summerton Pool. The council also sponsors The Axone, a school, pub- lication and allocates funds for Y.M.C.A. membership and the glee club. j ) ,  GEORGE SLIFER President Pres.: George Slifer Vice-Pres.: Wayne Englisk Sect.: Richard Deighan Treas.: James Xanthopoulos Seniors: Charles Pritchard Frank Barone Frederick Jaeger Henry Salkind Juniors: John Heiser Harry Pepe Sophomores: Julian Millman Robert Berger Joseph Scaffidi Freshmen: Marjorie Roth Jerry Leopold William Anderson Tomulyss Moody FREDERICK JAEGER CHARLES PRITCHARD SHERWOOD R.

Through the media of cake selling, dances and other affairs, the girls have promoted good will and funds enough to add several hundred dollars worth of books to the college library, purchase new drapes for the auditorium stage and many other items which help to beautify our school. Whether it is a lecture on some phase of medicine, an evaluation of the problems and responsibilities of the physician ' s wife, a cake sale campaign for additional funds, or an old fashioned square dance in the auditorium, the wives consistently come through with sincere enthusiasm and a will to succeed. ov v .. l ' to 3tO v.v. :.. -- oY l:; v. - - • oy ' X i■X -xw nV-V ■xW ' o oi '  ' ; ' o ' ' ' . rSS l f .S. J Ss: .-ssss:-rgsi u--;;. ACADEMY of APPLIED OSTEOPATHY The Undergraduate Academy of Applied Osteopathy was organized in 1949. This group is a division of the Gradu- ate Academy of Applied Osteopathy and is responsible directly to the committee and to the board of governors of the parent organization. As such, it is in no way a part of the college. The purpose of the academy is to afford an opportunity to the student who is interested in developing the science and art of manual dexterity; to learn additional techniques; and to hear and meet physicians in the field. The academy is open for membership to freshmen in the third trimester, providing that all scholarship conditions are met. Membership in the undergraduate academy bett er quahfies one for membership in the graduate academy, and provides a greater scope of knowledge concerning osteopathic principles and techniques.

At each regular meeting, a guest speaker elaborates on one of the aspects of this broadening medical field. Students are kept abreast of the modern advancements in clinical medicine and aided in developing a skill of their own in physical diagnosis. Membership is open to any student from the second semester of the sophomore year up to and including the first four weeks of the senior year and awards are given to each eligible member in the form of a certificate at the close of the senior year. To be eligible, a member must have been in good standing in the society for at least two con- secutive semesters. Pres. : Donald Baxter Vice Pres.: Eleanor Masterson Sect.-Treas.: Elliot B.

SOCIETY of OBSTETRICS and GYNECOLOGY The Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology is an approved undergraduate organi- zation founded for the purpose of, meeting regularly to further the knowledge of obstetrics and gynecology, and to promote further opportunity for its members to become acquainted with the progressively newer developments arising in the fields of obstetrics and gynecology. Membership in the society is open to all members of the junior and senior classes. Members of the senior class, after meeting the requirements of the society, and after presenting a paper on an approved subject, are eligible to receive the society ' s certificate. Senior members are given the opportunity to visit the Philadelphia Planned Parent- hood Clinic on Tuesday and Thursday nights which are reserved for our group. Each senior member has the opportunity to attend the clinic at least once. We feel the observation at these sessions is quite valuable and each year the society donates twenty- five dollars to the clinic.

The functions of the society are two fold: (1) to promote interest among the students in the study of pediatrics and (2) to prepare and set up a plan whereby out patient pediatric house calls are adequately and efficiently answered. All house calls to registered pediatric clinic patients are taken care of by senior members of the society. Their work is supervised by the pediatric resident. One junior member of the society is assigned with the senior member, so that he may observe and gain experience in the work. Membership shall be open to all students who have successfully completed the sophomore year of academic work. At the completion of the senior year, if the society member is in good standing and has met all the requirements as set down by the pediatric and student council constitutions, he is eligible for the society ' s certificate showing that he has done extra work in this field.

' ' NEURO-PSYCH SOCIETY Popular demand and interest on the part of the student body of the college stimu- lated the reorganization of the Neuropsychiatric society this year after a two year period of inactivity. The latest addition to the department of neuropsychiatry in the college and hospital. Dr. Albert L. Weiner, served as advisor to the society. We are indebted to Dr. Weiner for his active participation in aiding the society in arranging a most interesting educational series of lecture programs throughout the year. The purpose of the program this year was to stress the principles of the various techniques used in the different schools of psychotheraputic approach. Each of the lecture programs were enthusiastically received by the student body and in the future there will be many more constructive programs given by the society in order to promote understanding and appreciation of mental illness and its treatment, one of the most significant problems of our time.

Operating Room Instructor Diploma, University of Pennsyl- vania School of Nursing MARGARET BRESLYN Clinical Instructor Diploma, College of St. Teresa, Winona, Minn. The Osteopathic Hospital of Philadelphia was founded in 1911. At this time one of its stated purposes was, to conduct a training school for nurses. A lack of sufficient facilities at that time delayed organization until 1917. The course of instruction at first was two years, which was later increased to the present three-year course. The first class graduated in 1919, with three students. Originally, students entering the school made their own uniforms from gingham, with a white apron, black shoes and stockings and spats. At the present time, the uniforms are tailor made and white shoes and stockings are worn. In 1931, the school became accredited by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nurse Examiners. In the same year, the school became affiliated with the Philadelphia General Hospital for medical and pediatric nursing. In 1948, medical nursing was replaced with psychiatric nursing. Then as now, the philosophy of the only college-associated school of nursing in the profession is that all students shall be given the opportunity for development. Students are urged to contribute to the service and welfare of the school of nursing, but at the same time, freedom and initiative are encouraged. The trainees are given every advan- tage and opportunity to become physically, emotionally and intellectually stable. Spiritual and professional aspects are given great consideration by providing the necessary condi- tions favorable for learning, supplying guidance, stimulation and a measure of control so that these goals may be met. The student is urged to do her own adjusting and must learn to be self directed and self disciplined. Television sets and recreation rooms provided for the student nurses, as well as participation in numerous social activities of the college, add much to the social aspect of their three years of training. The student nurse may join the Glee Club (made up of students from the college and nurses,) play basketball against other nursing schools, sponsor parties and dances, or avail herself of the unique social and cultural facilities of the city of Philadelphia. Equipped with this training and development, the student is better able to con- tribute to society and tend to the needs of humanity. THERESA DAVEY, R.N. SARAH M. ACHEY, R.N.
