do hereby affirm my loyalty to the profession I am about to enter. 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 and 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. a 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.

President FREDERIC H. BARTH D.Sc, LL.D. President, Philadelphia College of Osteopathy The year 1957-58 has been a momentous year in the development of the Philadelphia Col- lege of Osteopathy. Sixteen acres of ground on City Line Avenue was purchased! The area is sufficient to permit the erection of new College buildings, Hospital buildings, Library, Auditorium and Lecture Hall, Student Dormitory, Nurses ' Home and Service buildings. The spacious old Mansion still on the prop- erty is in the process of conversion into an Ad- ministration Building and it will be dedicated this year. As President, I would remind you that the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy is YOLJR College. Whatever success you have will be partly because of our service to you. Our futures are woven together. We cannot separate our interest in each other from our concern for one another. The plans for the progress of our College are evolutionary and they require constructive effort from us all. It is obvious that the better our Col- lege becomes the better the opportunity for suc- cess and service for all its graduates. We must work together conscientiously and cooperatively, so that in the buildings we now have and in those to be constructed, there will be the finest spirit and the best educational program of any healing arts College in America. Our goal cannot be less. My congratulations to the Class of 1958. May God be with you and help you achieve all worthy desires. Frederic H. Barth, President Philadelphia College of Osteopathy 10
