Arch 6-2. 3 HIPPOCRATIC OATH I swear by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius, and Hygenia, 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, 1 will impart a knowledge of tJie 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 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 whoarepratitioners of this work. Into what- ever houses I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of the sick, and will abstainfromevery 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 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 all men in all times! But should I trespass and violate this oath, may the reverse be my lot! ., . ' ' ? r . f - OSTEOPATHIC OATH 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 imploy only those recognized methods of treatment con- sistent with good judgment and with my skill and ability, keeping in mind always nature ' s laws and the body ' s in- herent 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 principles of Osteopathy as taught by Andrew Taylor Still. , within our grasp a chance to serve. ' ' ,fk THE PHILADELPHIA COLLEGE SYNAPSIS OF OSTEOPATHY . PHILA. , PENNA locale The Osteopathic Profession has, in the past ten years, grown in stature, in numbers, and in importance as a salient factor in the maintenance of public health in the United States. The Osteopathic philosophy, by its foundation in the natural basic sciences, becomes undeniable and has been the basis for our growth and the ever increasing reliance by the public upon the Os- teopathic Physician for the protection of its health and welfare. The Philadelphia College of Osteopathy has been greatly affected by this increased demand for Osteopathic care and our facilities have suddenly fallen far below the demand which is still expanding geometrically. Plans are now in operation to meet this demand not just the addition of another 100 or 200 beds but the eventual availability of 600 beds within the next ten years. A beautiful 16 acre site has recently been procured by the Board of Directors. Plans are presently being prepared for the erection of a new hospital and college on this property. The new college will provide for the education of 600 students, graduating 150 Doctors of Osteopathy per year. Research facilities, a fine library and provisions for intensive post graduate training are all in the planning and. . .of course. . .parking space for the staff and student body. The present quarters at 48th Street will be maintained and expanded. Less immediate plans include the building of another hospital in time with the ever expanding Delaware Valley, thereby providing Osteopathic Hospital care for our practitioners and their patients. the school. . the hospital, ideally bound by our mutual goal. . . DR. FREDERIC H. BARTH Chairman, Board of Directors SYNAPSIS ' ! This word which the Greeks had for ' binding to- gether carries along down generations of PCOclasses to the present and, I hope, into the far future as long as the college endures and as high as it soars in its orbital mission of service to the race. 1 feel synapted to the Class of 1957 particularly because I have been with them from the Faculty Ad- missions Committee meetings way back there, up through their collective and individual climb to ' the degree moment. In spirit 1 will be with you, collectively as in the classroom a year ago, and individually wher- ever you go, as long as 1 last. Except for my own Class of 1921, there has been no class so well-known to me, personally and individ- ually. That is why my message to 1957, in this binding together volume, has to be personal, and warmed with the lamp of everlasting friendship. Vale, Doctoresl but never remote or disconnected. There will always be THE SYNAPSIS. William E. Brandt, D.O. President, P. CO. 1953 to 1957 DR. WILLIAM E. BRANDT President Philadelphia College of Osteopathy ADMINISTRATION SHERWOOD R. MERCER, A.B., M.A., Dean THOMAS M. ROWLAND Registrar their enthusiasm and understanding keynote our relationship To the Class of 1957: A commencement time is always marked by a turning in public addresses and in private thoughts to some of the fundamental precepts by which man lives. Among these is that which states that a man cannot expect to be happy unless he has pride and joy in his work. The members of tlie class of 1957 are for- tunate in that they have been prepared for careers in which each may find pride and joy. The key to achievement of all the pride and joy which is the potential of a career as an Osteopathic Physician lies in the closeness with which each bearer of the degree D.O. identifies him- self with the basic principles and prac- tices which set him aside as an Osteo- path. There is no career which has in it the potential for service, satisfaction, pride and joy which the career of an Osteopath has. It is my earnest hope that each member of the class of 1957 will know the great pride and deep joy which can be his if he identifies himself whole- heartedly with his profession, serves his patients with devotion and skill as an Osteopathic Physician and conducts his moral, ethical and intellectual life at the highest possible level. With sincere best wishes to each of you, Sherwood R. Dean Mercer Mr. Thomas M. Rowland, a graduate of Temple Univer- sity, has served the student body at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy as Registrar since May 1950. He has given of himself freely both in his capacity as Registrar and also as a friend, sacrificing week-ends and evenings, for the promotion of the welfare of the student body. To him, for the spirit of cooperation and understanding for which we feel he stands and for his personal interest, aid and con- sideration of the members of the Class of 1957, we hereby express our sincere appreciation. our ' ems AT THE COLLEGE, we loved, .admired, .and respected him HOMER FRANKLIN MACKEY Born Died August 23, 1927 March 21, 1957 Homer was born and raised in Clarksburg, West Virginia. He received a Bachelor of Science degree from Ohio University and a Master of Science degree from West Virginia University. In September 1953 he matriculated at Philadelphia College of Osteopathy. From this time, Homer engaged actively in the study of Osteopathic Medicine and the extra curricular activities that make a man a physician and not just a doctor. Scholastically, Homer ranked high. TTiese heights of scholastic ability were enhanced by engaging in many activities which included Vice President of his class, Student Council representative in his third and fourth years, Vice President of Phi Sigma Gamma Fraternity, and interclass spxDrts. And so, in retrosjject, we pay our last homage to him. To Homer Franklin Mackey, we dedicate this yearbook. May his spirit be with us forever. students CITY LINE AVENUE . . , our future, soon to be realized , , . SITE PLAN -- ' ■■ ' ' TV FACULTY i BLANCHE CLOW ALLEN, A.B., B.S. (Educ).

An additional 216 hours are spent in histology and embryology laboratories. Application of our basic anatomical knowledge is emphasized in our third year course in Applied Anatomy. The close relation between Anatomy and Osteopathic medicine is taught and practised. Specially prepared specimens, dissections, and models are displayed in the Harvey School of Anatomy. This collection is an excellent addition to the dissection facilities given all students. Normal and pathological specimens, serial sections, dissections and mounted preparations illustrate the major diseases. Among the notable are vast bone preparations, embryos, Spalteholz preparations and plaster models. To illustrate the anatomy and physiology of the human spine, specially prepared Halladay spines are produced in the Department of Anatomy. They are of tremendous value in the demonstration of intersegmental motion and the mechanical principles through which they operate. fl - ■ 1 4 ii | fci PROFESSOR ANGUS G. CATHIE D.O.

Professor o£ Orthopedic Surgery and Chairman of the Department General Surgery, Orthopedics, Proctology, Urology, and Anesthesiology are considered integral parts of the Depart- ment 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 oper- ative 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 repeated with many other surgical courses. The general surgery course deals with regional surgery and is complemented by the Cadaveric surgery course in the dis- section 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. k f ' ' % n ' RADIOLOGY PROFESSOR PAUL T. LLOYD D.O., M.Sc. (Ost.). D.Sc, F.A.C.O.S. Chairman of Department Dr. A.

Chairman of Department The courses in ophthalmology and otolarynagology are given in the third and fourth years. Clinical lectures and demonstrations to sections of the class form an important part of the work. The instruction is designed to meet the needs of a well-trained general practitioner. The purely osteopathic considerations involving etiology pathology, diagnosis and treatment of eye, ear, nose and throat diseases are systematically discussed. The work in bronchoscopy is designed to afford instruction to small groups of the senior class on those phases of preoral endoscopy that are considered of value to the general practitioner. There are practical examinations of dispensary patients, also in- patients who are on clinic service. These patients are examined by the student under the direction of a supervisor usually the member of the department on service at that time, both manipulative and local treat- ment of the nose and throat under the direction of a supervisor, and the correlation and evaluation of the patient with nose and throat diseases. In hospital they observe surgical procedures of the throat and nose. 74 HOSPITAL % CLINICAL SERVICES DR. BARBARA REDDING Assistant Professor Hospital Clerkship Supervisor DR.

FRATERNITIES ATLAS CLUB Styloid Chapter PHI SIGMA GAMMA Zeta Chapter PHI SIGMA GAMMA 1956-57 The Zeta Chapter of the Phi Sigma Gamma Na- tional Osteopathic Fraternity was founded at the Phila- delphia College of Osteopathy in September, 1917, through the efforts of Dr. Nathaniel Boyd, 2nd, and Dr. Rice le Grand Cooper. Nationally, the fraternity maintains chapters at all six of the osteopathic col- leges. In the past college year of 1956-57, the spirit of fraternalism flourished at 4624 Spruce St., the chapter house. Very ably led by President James Xantho- poulos and his committee chairmen, the fraternity produced many outstanding social and educational activities. Noteworthy among these were the rushing functions, the annual Christmas party with a Santa Glaus for the clinic children; the Valentine party; and several lectures, demonstrations, and movies featuring many of the prominent alumniof the chapter. Senior office visits to the offices of several of the alumni were successfully carried out again this year. Mention should also be given to the fine work done by the Phi Sig Wives Club for their contributions to the house, and to the brothers who gave to their work and time in building new furniture and a new bar for the social room. As in previous years, the highlight of the year ' s activities was the annual Alumni Banquet, held this year at the Celebrity Room. 1st Semester Officers: President - James Xanthopoulos V.

Reese Without her, our years of toil at Philadel- phia College of Osteopathy School of Nursing would have been to no avail. She is a constant source of inspiration and model of a profession- al nurse. We would all like to express our thanks and deepest regards to her for the many favors rendered. Also we must apologize for any un- intended worries or gray hairs we caused. Thank yo u again. We will never forget you, Miss Reese. The Class of 1957 IRMA JEANNETTE REESE, R.N.

Evening Supervisor (48th St. Hospital) Diploma, Misericordia Hospital School of Nursing GAIL ADAMS, R.N. Assistant Evening Supervisor Diploma, Osteopathic Hospital School Nursing History of School of Nursing The Osteopathic Hospital of Philadelphia was founded in May 1911. One of its stated purposes was to conduct a Training School for nurses, ' but it was not until 1917 that the school of nursing was organized. Today, the purpose is to prepare professional nurses who are capable of rendering safe and effective nursing care in all first level positions, and who are qualified to aid in meeting the health needs of society, and to realize personal satisfaction and happiness through service to others. The course of instruction was two years, as was customary in most training schools in the days of 1917. This was later increased to the present three year course. The first class, numbering three students, was graduated in 1919. At that time, the student uniform consisted of homemade gingham dresses, with a white apron, black shoes and stockings, and spats. At the present, the uniforms are tailor made, and white shoes and stockings are worn. It was not until 1931 that the school was approved by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nurse Ex- aminers. The aim of the School of Nursing is to offer a basic program in professional nursing which will prepare students to meet the nursing and health needs of the community, and the opfxirtunity for development. Each student shall be urged to contribute to the service and welfare of the school of nursing, but shall have the largest possible measure of freedom and initiative in so doing. The student shall to the fullest extent learn to be self-directed and self-disciplined. The school will provide conditions which are favorable for learning, will supply guidance, stimulation, and a certain measure of control; but the student will be urged to do her own learning and adjusting, in order that she may grow physically, intellectually, emotionally, socially, spiritually and professionally, and in so doing be better equipped to make the best possible contribution to society and herself - to live a well-rounded life. The special techniques which equip a graduate nurse for greatest efficiency in the care of osteopathic patients make the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy ' s School of Nursing a distinctive institution. Exceptional opportunities are offered selected classes of students. The school is operated in close coojseration with the College and the two hospital units. SARAH M. ACHEY, R.N.

' £2 U KeminesceHce Coming into the tree- shaded yard toward the 20th Street Nurses ' home, we began to recall that only three short years ago there were eighteea of us seated around the porch on September 6, 1954. With the exception of a few, we were all bright-eyed high school graduates of three months, and nursing was a dream we all hoped to make real. The first week, we were apprehensive about every- thing, and wary of anyone in a white uniform, parti- cularly Internes. When we had our physicals on the second day, one of our number fainted as it came time for the Vampire . We westerners were really given a treat on a tour that our long suffering Anatomy instructor con- ducted this first week. Someof Philadelphia ' s shrines, especially the Betsy Ross House and Independence Hall were most interesting. When classes began at 48th Street, we went by cab to the college for Chemistry, Microbiology and Anatomy. Experiences in the anatomy lab included feeling stifled by the smell, beingleery of the cadavers and fascinated by Grandpa and Midnight, the cat. Just when we thought that we knew the routine we were told Tuesday we are going on the wards, students, so have your lab coats laundered. We ex- changed questioning looks, but actually, we made out very well. It was startling, at first, to hear a patient ask, Nurse, what time is it? , and to know they meant you. A few highlights of our first six months were - taking a puppy into the Nurses Home and having to put him out at 3 A.M. - giving Mister (the engineer ' s dog) a bath in the bathtub - attending fraternity parties - speaking to internes and extemes and getting home for the Christmas holiday. We were capped in March, but then there were only 13 of us, as three left to be married, and three more just left. As our first summer approached, we went to 48th Street one by one to begin our special services and work with our upp)er classmen. Four of us stayed at 20th Street all summer and got good experience on evening and night duty. We en joyed getting to the shore frequently on days off, but didn ' t enjoy the sunburn. Special services at 48th Street were vastly differ- ent from routine in nursing care. Obstetrics, emer- gency room, diet kitchen, and surgery - all are a wonderful education and fortunately not like T.V. and the movies would have them. Memories of surgery include - the smell following the use of cautery - the tapping of a hammer on bone - Suture, girl - Get outi You ' re contaminated I The interne messing up your neat Mayo. In Emergency Room we saw everything from faint- ing blood donors to screaming babies and D.O.A. ' s. In Diet Kitchen we welcomed the change of all we could eat plus the visiting of patients, when we could sometimes sneak off for a rest. On obstetrics, we found that two hands simply were not enough, and a suggestion was made that a sjjecial cart be purchased for the department. This cart would include suture trays, bedpans, perineal irrigation sets, cath trays, ice bags, perineal heat- ers, cramp pills, l.V. set ups and poles. Also large bottles of orange juice or pitchers of watSrwith signs sayiHg NO MATTER WHAT EXTERNES SAY, DRINK UNTIL YOU VOIDI It seems all of these things are of primary importance simultaneously to staff men, residents, internes, and patients. As Intermediate students we had trouble with noise in the Nurses Home at exam time, and we would toss the offender in the bathtub - clothes and alll Also this year we were more active in social affairs, hold- ing bake sales to make money, and the annual grad- uation dance for the Seniors, which was a hugh success. Our affiliation for six months at Philadelphia Gen- eral Hospital seemedlikeaneternity. On Pediatrics , we learned to dodge medications that were spit out by the little demons, and got so that we heard Pickey- up Nursie in our sleep. On Psycho, we all got gray hairs counting spoons or getting locked in a room with- out an attendant. Some of this six months was also spent in defending good old P. CO. and Osteopathy to the M.D. ' s. We lost three of our class to marraige at the be- ginning of our Senior year, leaving only eight to grad- uate. The last few months together have been high- lighted by our own Graduation Ball, a dinner party where we displayed our class rings and cuff links, the Alumnae dinner. Baccalaureate and Graduation. After three short years of struggle and myriads of problems later, we had reached the short walk up to the platform for our diplomas. We were now beginning our progress down the road as self-sufficient pro- fessional nurses. Orchids to Miss Irma Reese, who helped pull most of us a portion - if not all- of the way along this road. f M o r r 111 MARJORI SUE DANN Reds from Dearborn, Michigan; is President of Stu- dent Council, Senior Class President, a member of Glee Club, graduation dance committee and Judiciary Committee; Marge is interested in surgical nursing in Michigan Red Sails In The Sunset ' .

Among these are the exhaustive trials by distinguished clinicians who explore the human response to the drug ' s action — testing its therapeutic bene- fits, its value over other agents, its margin of safety. It is only after conclusive demonstration of outstanding advantages that the new agent is finally released for general clinical use.
