PHILADELPHIA COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHY PHILADELPHIA PENNSYLVANIA STEOPATHIC OATH I do hereby affirm my loyalty to the profession I am about to enter. I will be mindful alivays 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 on those recognized methods of treatment con- sistent tvith good judgment and tvith my skill and ability, keeping in mind always nature ' s laws and the body ' s in- herent capacity for recovery. I tvill be ever vigilant in aiding the general welfare of the community, sustaining its latvs and institutions, not engaging in those practices tvhich tvill in any way bring shame or discredit upon myself or my profession. I tvill give no deadly drugs to any, though it be asked of me. I tvill endeavor to work in accord tvith my col- leagues in a spirit of progressive cooperation and never by word or by act cast imputations upon them or their right- ful practices, I tvill look tvith respect and esteem upon all those tvho have taught me viy art. To my college, I will be loyal and strive always foY its best and for the interests of the students who will come after me. I tvill be ever alert to and adhere to and develop the principles of Osteopathy as taught by Andrew Taylor Still. swear by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius, and Hygenia, and Pattacea, and all the gods, and goddesses that according to my ability and judgment; 7 will keep this oath and this stipulation — to reckon m who taught me this are equally dear to me as my parents, to share 7ny substance with him, and relieve his necessities if required to look upon his offspring in the same footing as my own brothers and teach them this art af they shall tvish to learn it. Without fee or stipulation and that by precept lec- ture, and every other mode of instruction, I will impart a knotvledge of the art to my otvn 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 ' M ill follotv the system of regime xvhich, according to m y ' ability and judgment, I consider. For the benefit of my patients and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous, I tvill give no deadly medicine to anyone if asked nor suggest any such counsel and in like manner I will not give to a tvoman a pessary to produce abortion. With purity and holiness I tvill pass Ttiy life and practice -my art.

Into tvhatever houses I enter, I tvill go into them for the benefit of the sick, and tvill 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 tvith my professional practice or not in connection tvith it, I see or hear, in the Jife of m en, tvhich ought not be spoken of abroad. I tvill not divulge as reckoning that all such should e kept secret. While I continue to keep his oath unvio- ated, may it be granted to m.e to enjoy life and the practice iof the art respected by all men in all times! But should I trespass and violate this oath, may the reverse be my lot! Jj ??UUm OATH ■ 3J -i-|-|- |r| • i| I 48th Street College and Hospital Moss Mansion Administration Building iJ- WE HAVE Progressed The dreams and aspirations of Dr. O. J. Snyder and Dr. M. W. Pressly came to rea- lization when the Philadelphia College and In- firmary of Osteopathy became incorporated on the 24th of January, in the year 1899. The first college held its classes in the Stephen Girard Building at 21 South 12th Street with a faculty of seven professors and a grad- uating class of two students in 1900. Since then the college has been located at various parts of the city. Among these were the Witherspoon Building at 33 rd and Arch Streets, 1715 North Broad Street, 832 Pine Street, 19th and Spring Garden Streets and finally to its present site at 48th and Spruce Streets in 1929. In 1951 the hospital purchased the build- ings and grounds of the Women ' s Homeopathic Hospital at 20th and Susquehanna Avenue. Our progress has been rapid in the past fifty years and we have outgrown our facili- ties. This resulted in the purchase of 16 acres of land at City Line and Monument Road to be used as site of the future expansion program. y y .:- A BRIGHT NEW ERA in tlic liistory and development of Philadelphia College of Osteopathy was beckoned with the purchase, in June of 1957, of the sixteen acre Moss Estate at City Line Avenue and Monument Road. On June 7, 1958, the Moss Mansion, remodeled at a cost of $65,000, was opened and occupied as an administration building. Future plans call for the building of a two-unit 600 bed hospital, complete with out-patient and auxiliary services, a college with research facilities, an auditorium, a library, a student dormitory, nurses home and a building for staff and faculty. •2 WITH AFFECTIONATE PRIDE WE Doctor Walter M. Hamilton Someone once described a lecture as the process by which the notes of the pro- fessor passed to the student without passing through the brains of either of them. President Lowell of Harvard expressed a similar skeptical view when he said there must be a great deal of knowledge in our universities because the freshmen always bring a little bit in and the seniors never take any out. Stephen Leacock offered this idea for education: If I were founding a university I would found first a smoking room; then a dormitory. Then, when I had a little money in hand, I would establish a decent reading room. After that, if I still had some money I couldn ' t use, I would get some textbooks and hire a professor. But it was President Hutchins of Chicago University who expressed the modern view of education. He said, My idea of education is to unsettle the minds of the young and inflame their intellects. Dr. Walter Hamilton, the distinguished scholar and physician to whom we dedi- cate this senior yearbook, has managed to make a happy compromise between the old tradition of teaching and the modern approach of encouraging independent thought. Dr. Hamilton, a young fiftyish, graying gentleman, arrived in our midst at a crucial time. It was his decision that education is the training of the mind not the amassing of facts which aided in placing the Department of Osteopathic Principles on top-level recognition, nationwide as well as student wide. Through his dominant driving force as stimulator, educator, and friend, he captured the audience to the basic principles of our existence as a profession. Students and faculty alike who had ob- served a declining approach to our science and art cheer the day Walt Hamilton U)ok us in his understanding and powerful hands. Dr. Hamilton brings to us a desirous, well-rounded background best suited to his new role. As past Assistant Surgeon General in the New Jersey Medical Corps, partici- pant in officers ' training in chemical warfare, and practicing physician-surgeon in the states of Maine and New Jersey, he has been able to afford brilliant examples of modern osteopathic principles as a combined power of structure and chemistry, and truly a proud department is taking form under his assistance, a department which will best prepare the osteopathic graduate for his exceptional capacity of combined medical practitioner and osteopathic physician of modern times. The value of the synchronization has never been so well applied. From the simplest class demonstration to the complexities of hospital procedures, Dr. Hamilton has bridged the once impossible gap. The development of Junior Clerk- ships, which we as a class have the proud distinction of initiating, has been the culmina- tion of a man ' s dogged desire to do what is right in spite of past principles and prejudices. The burgeoning notebooks of principles and techniques of which a few short years ago there were none bespeak of this man ' s desires and drives. Yes, it can be humbly said, this is a man who in spite of personal tribulations works from pain in the morning until groan at night, and this work is a labor of love, the recipients of its fortunes we are humbly proud to say have been us. Walt, you ' re our friend. We are ever grateful.  « ' ' ' % z HROUGH HIM, THE COOPERATIVE SPIRIT WAS FOSTERED. To the Members of the Class of 1959: Four years ago, when the members of the Class of 19 59 were being selected, there were extant certain conditions of knowledge and certain conditions of practice. In the brief time this class has been preparing itself to minister to the health needs of its fellow citizens, these conditions have changed markedly. Scientific investigation has made available new modalities in drug therapy, surgical therapy, manipulative therapy and psychiatric therapy. The teaching of the basic sciences has changed to keep abreast of advances in knowledge. The conditions of practice have changed because of the impact of voluntary health insurance plans, industrial and labor activities, and the actions of state and federal government. The attitude of the public which purchases health care either through taxes, premiums or cash for service has changed toward what it expects of physicians. There is, however, one constant which can never change, and it is the require- ment of this constant that a physician must adjust to changes in knowledge, in eco- nomics, in social and political affairs, and in professional affairs, in order that he may never be found wanting in his proper relation to this constant. A physician can never escape the demands of his duties, responsibilities, and privi- leges, in relation to a patient — either in poor health or good health. This is the constant. This is the touchstone by which his worthiness as a physician must constantly be assessed. You are osteopathic physicians. You have been educated — not just trained — to be a special kind of physician. You have those skills which set you apart, which make it possible for you to establish yourself in a special relationship to your patients. It is important, therefore, that as a special kind of physician you identify yourself as such, that you practice as such, and that you strive constantly to use your every ability, to bring out of advancing osteopathy everything you possibly can, so that in your relationship with your patients, you will never be found wantmg. Each of you has our very best wishes for a happy and satisfying career. Sherwood R. Mercer Dean FREDERIC H. BARTH D.Sc, LL.D. President of Board of Directors and College To the Members of the Class of 1959: It gives me great pleasure to greet the members of this Class and to extend to each of you every good wish for a happy and successful career. How happy and how suc- cessful will depend on how well each of you exercise that all important attribute of a physician — judgment. My earnest hope is that the education you have been given will stand you in good stead as you make those daily judgments, the sum of which will be your life. Your happiness and success — and Philadelphia College of Osteopathy ' s happi- ness and success through you — will depend on how well you live your life in service to others. You are entering a great calling, a great profession, and you are now the pride of a great osteopathic faculty. Your career will, I know, sustain this pride as you serve those in need of your skill and dedication as osteopathic physicians. THOMAS M. ROWLAND, JR. B.S. Director of Admissions and Registrar To the Members of the Class of 1959: We have been together the past four years, and I am proud to have this opportunity to offer you my congratulations on your suc- cessful completion of the College ' s training program. Each of you is to be complimented on this achievement since you had many ob- stacles to surmount. Yours must be a life of service. In your professional life there is no room for materialism. If you serve mankind you will be more than adequately rewarded. The Philadelphia College of Osteopathy has given you the oppor- tunity not only to contribute to the welfare of our nati on but to provide for your needs. A graduate owes a debt to his college for its contribution to his life. So it is with you. Because of your accomplishments, sacrifices and perseverance I am very proud of all of you. May God be with you always. BOARD OF DIRECTORS OFFICERS Frederic H. Barth Chairinaii Guy W. Rodgers, Jr Yicc-Chainnaii H. Walter Evans Secretary James M. Eaton Treasurer Robert Anderson, Frederic H.

Doctor Galen S. Young was unanimously elected president by delegations representing the voice of our profession throughout the land. This election is unusual in that Dr. Young is one of the few presidents of our parent organization to be chosen from the faculty of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy. This election is an honor bestowed not only upon Dr. Young but upon our state, our college, and all of us as his students and associates. Dr. Young has always been known as a tireless worker for all that is good and fair for the profession and as a fighter for the advancement of Osteopathic Medicine. We salute and congratulate Doctor Galen S. Young on his election. We wish him well in his work and we look fotward to contributing with him to the advancement of our profession. 14 EXECUTIVE FACULTY EDWIN H. CRESSMAN, D.O., M.SC(OST).

Put them all together and they DO NOT spell Bill Mitchell. Dr. William Mitchell impresses those of us around him with the basic truths of medicine. He has unveiled the realistic privilege of analyzing our patients as human beings first and laboratory data second. Although his background has given him the endless pieces of informa- tion needed to run down the most baffling case, he continues to assume that warmth of interpersonal relationship which distinguishes him as an Internist. Working under a medical fellowship awarded him by Mead John- son, Dr. Mitchell has managed to squeeze into his endless days twenty- four extra weekly hours to impart his medical approach to us. He is able to draw upon varied experiences to further his teaching: a baccalaureate in mathematics awarded at Ursinus College, a brief career in the insur- ance field, Muhlenberg College, Philadelphia College of Osteopathy, and internship at Allentown Osteopathic Hospital have all added up to the man we Seniors have been privileged to work under. Dr. Bill — we thank you for your presence. Kecognizc i .4 R E S ARTHUR F. DcMARCO, D.O. Ancsthcsiolosy DANIEL FORD, D.O. Anesthesiology JOHN HEISER, B.S., D.O. Anesthesiology D E N T S THOMAS L.

But in essence, the end is only the beginning. Today, more than ever before, the profession demands sev- eral important criteria of which we must be ever mindful. They are: Humility and humbleness before God in being given the privilege of practicing the healing art. Respect for our colleagues and above all for humanity. Honesty — with the patient and with ourselves. Service — wherever and whenever it ' s needed within the abilities of the physician. And above all else do your very best always ever bringing honor and respect to the word Physician. The best of health, happiness and success to all of you. 26 DAVID JOEL ABRAMS B.S., D.O.

This, a closely guarded top-level analysis, has leaked out. Yes, a consensus report heavily weighted in agree- ment, tallied over a four-year survey of staff members, faculty, office brass, hospital personnel and Dewey ' s cashier and first cook, this report verifies the proclama- tion: . . . never another class like it. . . . and if we have our way, there never will be — concludes the document, signed and sealed by a constant first-floor observer; smilingly. September eight, nineteen hundred and fifty-five. This is the day of infamy. Through the portals of stone and wood and glass, two by two, four by four, straggling by singles, eighty-some-odd-men (and one odd woman) marched the first steps into their valley of . . . well, why cry at this date — you know the rest — YOU were there! Remember?: — — it goes back long before Sept. 8. It goes back to a dream. That great American dream — SUCCESS. There was this doctor — or was he a physician? — he hved down the street from your house. Cars coming and going all day long. That day you saw him running out of his back door toting that black bag, then zooming away leaving you staring at the fins of an horizon blue Cadillac, that day something sharp twinged at your heart strings (actually, an inverted P wave). Why, this doctor (physician?) was a saintly soul rushing to the bedside of a dying mother of seven infants, their tugging little hands pulling on his black frock imploring his magic potions to save their Mommy. In no time you could envision this deathly woman arising from her bed, cured from a malady only he — this doctor( physician?) could cure. That settles it! You, too, shall be a doctor (physi- cian?). It takes you six years to finally track this doctor down. Six years later you sit before him at P.C.O. Surely this man- teaching you his hidden medical lores, this is that same man who six years earlier had challenged your future. One day you hesitantly approach him in the parking lot (after tipping the well-uniformed attendant for allowing you walking space). You confront him alongside his sunset red Continental and you mumble behind your humbling tears how you have followed his star to this, your heaven. (Before tears drown your eyes we will shoot forward about three years when you are now a big wheel with a white jacket. This same idol of yours has been sopping it up at the big Frat party and is dangerously close to AA ' s door. Now you corner him about that first day you saw him rushing out to save that poor mother of seven. He wracks into an asthmatic coughing spurt from a siege of uproarious laughter. He tells you through gasps that that must have been the day he was scooting out the back door as the Cadillac finance agency man was breaking in the front. His mission of mercy was over the Camden Bridge to beat the daily-double. And a ham on rye in the black bag was all that remained of hocked sphyg., steth, and medi- cal paraphernalia, including portable table. And so, you return to your room, up a flight into a cold darkened corridor, fall on a messed-up lumpy mattress and pound your fists into the pillow. So now, after you have completed 2 3 of your fut- ure, now you have found Truth. You bang your pillow again and laugh. Thank God, you say, thank God for being so stupid when I was so young. Thank God for not letting us know what the future reveals. Thank God for allowing us naivety of vision and simplicity of purpose. This then, is our theme for the day. Would you do it again if you knew? Well ... we won ' t take a standing vote — but we reiterate, thank God we didn ' t know. Wouldn ' t it have been a pity to have missed these past four furious years? Now, think about it . . . . . . four years — good, bad, or indifferent . . . what W 70 OF FOUR YEARS OF STUDY If are some of the things you would Hvc again — or hide aw.iv from? — Remember these?: The admission physical in which we were impressed with the examination rendered us . . . The night of orientation in which prophetic words by a fraternity president still echoes inside our heads — . . . from this moment on you are two days behind . . . The glow of satisfaction from that big red and white sign on the lot at 47th and Spruce — WE ' U be interning there! Now we reserve that same glow for the sign once removed to City Line. And the same cry goes up We ' ll be interning there, from Block ' s fourth offspring twice removed . . . The day Bert Greenspun gave the boundaries of the tympanic cavity: anterior, posterior, superior, inferior, medial and lateral . . .

Tube-Day. Who ' s going to swallow and who ' s going to hold the emesis basin? The men are separated from the bile and the names eminent in scholarly fashions go down the drain like Bashful Bogutz, Tumbling Angstadt, G-I Asnis, Lesion-Frank, Courageous Kelly, Where ' d Everybody-Go- Wolfe, Straight-laced Sutula, the three Queens: There Otten, There Parente, and There Pema. Would you be the first to spoil Dr. Schall ' s fun by an- nouncing the new Squibb pill, Diagnex, for measuring gastric acidity? Doctor, Doctor, there ' s a place for you in Deweys ' ... The Christmas exodus whe n all that is heard in roll call is Heah! From D. Abrams south to S. Zinberg north, the ranks have deserted to the Post Office. Gen- eral Glickel, in whose experience the mail should never go through, holds command over private Goldberg who carries out this order nightly. He considers this a fine way to reduce — an endless abyss he will always be grap- pling from . . . Those first series of exams when Chemistry was King and 10 went down manufacturing an imperfect hydrogen bomb in Radiology. When night became day and Fink saw his first sun and smelled his earliest morn- ing air. He had begun his studies at 2 P.M. By 3 he had caught up to his partner in crime. Blitz, who had started 2 days earlier . . . Those first re-exams. And those second — and third — and fourth and fifth — and lyyyy!!! This first year was the year Tom Moody became eternal president — only to be set down by Herb Spellman for an interim of Loghousing. But party-planners soon retrenched and President Moody once again retained his Rowlandship . . . This was the year of change for fraternity pickings. Log lost a small group of heretics to Atlas. Itz and Phi- Sig poured it on and the seekers drank it down and the end did not warrant the means. Log led the way — to the Met . . . This was the year a nice little man came and read to us and told us we were studying med ' cine . This was the year the Kelly ' s had a baby. This was the year little boy Bill became whom we now know as Dr. William Anderson. His adventures in nursing had served him well. This was the year summer came as a welcome breeze upon a parched desert. The six exams scheduled had been just too much and the vision of never opening an- other book was bright within. The seventeen pharmacists had jobs making money . . . They all went to work for Sol Kominsky. Some of the others had babies — others married. Then there were those who made of this period ■M m %, m iW M . . 71 A Summary Jii i ; - ■ ■m M W ' ■1 iM what is expected of every medical student — especially of P.C.O. students. A first requirement is that of being financially able to carry through the years as devoted devotees of book and scribe. There is to be no need for dabbling in dough. This summer four made the grade: one: Kirshenbaum, R., lolled on Coney Island to reduce the ragweed count; two, Halin, L., skimmered the Alpian slopes in attempt to reduce his burgeoning waistline; Mannin, L., paced the shores of Atlantic City seeking his lost youth; and Addis, H., sat it out on his Tally-Ho. Year number two ushered in a semblance of ease. Laboratories were sessioned at handy two and three-hour periods. Many on Friday afternoons. These long Wolfe- ends appealed to many, and men of note handled these cherished hours to supreme advantage. The Pinochle Club was formed. Not in the hands of menial students — no, a special echelon partook to make this a tender adven- ture; men like Dominic M. Falco of Allentown, Pa. — surely you ' ve heard me speak of him. And Jerry I. Leo- pold, formerly of Leopold Industries Inc. of New Jersey, now operating independently. Also Philip Braslow, known intimately as The Braz . Added Daniel Greenholz of Brooklyn, a mecca of physicians graduated as Osteopaths. And that Lightower of subtlety and scion of scolioses, Lewis W. Hirsh. This was the year we bowed to the West to greet two upstarting young dissenters from Des Moines — without whom the balance of power in the Pinochle Club would never have been held in check. We mean, of course, the diplomatic two, Abrams. R., and Kofsky, A. This was the year of ease, too — for it was the year of full production for the industry without which a whole nation of future physicians would have failed. This, of course, our Note Factory. At this time we bow humbly, make a Sign of David, a Sign of the Cross, kneel to Buddha, on rub-the-tip-of -noses — whatever you do — do it for this stellar group who put you through school more than your old man ' s money. Men of spirit — r men who cannot be duplicated, but who duplicated for us — Angstadt, Eazer, Goldman, Goloff, Miller, Petteruti, Rivi- cUo, Roth, Rubin, and of course, our prodigal son who always came through on this — Lenny Fink. For this we forgive him the empty chair and the missing roll sheets, and the here in a dozen voices. The second year called for added effort in our chosen work. The osteopathic principles were now just being driven home. Who could ever forget that dramatic demonstration — I am a transverse process! (May we add here a special vote of thanks to Dr. Walter Hamil- ton for choosing us as his starting class.) This was the year the Kelly ' s had a baby. This was the year, too, in which we were assured of the value of fecal analysis. Herb Carr supplied us with specimens in which the full gamut of trophozites and sporozites were envisionable. Dr. Lessig has emblaz- oned on our minds (?) the value of hitting a jar opening at 3 paces. This year, too, we learned that one dram equals one teaspoon. Well, that is if you use 4 cc. or 5 cc. And one tablespoon equals a half a dram unless you use J cc, then in New Jersey the number is Bigelow . . . Oh, well, we were assured we ' d learn to write those bread and butter slips in the Clinic. So, away went Goodman Gilman into Dr. Falbey ' s library for another year. This was the year the anti-vivisectionists said Fie on us. We pithed on frogs, and hammered at turtles, and decapitated rabbits. This was about the time that B. B. Barnes made his now famous remark: Let ' s get out of here. The Hanson House thrived that year. In the year of three the past-sophmoric group had now arrived at pl ysiciandom. Already little black bags had been outfitted by entrepencur-supremc B. P. Shapiro (who, by the way, as a committec-of-onc saw us through exam schedules in high gear). The Junior clarkship boasted such names as James H. Wallace, Wilfred M. m 72 OF FOUR YEARS OF STUDY t - ■mk- D.inley, 111, Ralph V. Franciosi, James E. Green, Kirk H. Hcrrick, Charles T. Jenkins, Peter E. Johnston, William S. Mclachrinos, and spurred on by Quartermaster Joseph P. Harrumph . Others — who shall remain anonymous — found their services in demand delivering babies, cutting holes in abdomens, sewing up fingers, and cracking backs at various outlying institutions. And others still found solace in the 30-or more courses on a tri-mester basis — a finale of eminent didac- tic supremacy. This was the year the Kelly ' s had a baby. Of utmost value in this our final year of book- larnin ' , no subject remains dearer to our tired seats than that of Applied Mechanics. How many of us will revere those hours and cherish the memories of Mort Levine as he swallowed the remarkable word-coverage by Jerry Leopold and in turn was changed into a monster. How many of us can forget those impractical words of des- tiny — ... it ' s true, but it ' s not the way I want it. However, a quick trip to a nearby Pharmaceutical emporium wherein the drug of the month comes our way quickly dispelled our fears of having come this way to no avail. Kirk Herrick spelled it out as he released all his inhibitions and more on that eventless trip. And then, the year of the big-seat was completed. As this piece is being written we arc in the midst of working out the kinks. The hands which once knew only pencil pushing now know needle pushing and per- cussion precision. The mind which dozed in warm stufFy classrooms now sparks life in hospital wards and clinic booths. The tens of thousands of myriad facts which once were blurs of print for repeating } times yearly have now claimed first place in analyses of the acute congestive heart in the emergency room, the tempera- mental diabetic in the clinic, the frightened primigravida in the labor room, the shivering little boy in the O.R., the blasphemous psychotic in your booth. It is growing and so are you. Growing, oh so rapidly, so securely, so persistently. You are in the middle of it as it pushes, and churns and tumbles you forward like a set of open gut on the operating table. And no matter how you handle it, it must continue to move. In spite of the inadequacies you may have felt and still do, you have been prepared. This is the year we know one vital fact: from student A ± to Student D — there lies a fine line of differentiation as he approaches his patient. Who is to tell who will die and will get well. Who is to tell who amongst us will come through and chalk up the record of lives saved. We would be surprised one day fifty years hence, when the score is in the final box, which of our 80-odd made the grade. Really surprised. And so, it comes to a close. Surely we have left out millions of words in this two thousand word review of a group of lives. Each of you had an individual experience of which books are written. Naturally. There is much we were unable to say. Many of you we knew little about — only that you were a necessary part of our full growth. This is honorable mention for all of you we have not mentioned. We had many personalities worth more space — men who created national good-will for our institution like Stan the Erase and his oft misunderstood love. And Shelly Zinberg and his respected statistic for the world to see in tumor studies. Larry D ' Antonio for personal research which antidates nucleic acid studies of modern cancer research. And the unsung elders of our class whom we kid, who have sacrificed the ultimate to see through this adventure — Harry Caldwell, Herb Carr, Homer Angstadt, Mike Sutula, Bill DiSanto, Commer McGowan, Stan Miller, Jim Green, Sol Kominsky, Bill Block. It ' s been a fabulous time. It has moved along all too slowly and all to rapidly all at once. Surely any of us would, in deep retrospect, say, if I had it to do over again — I ' d certainly want to be with the class that there has never been another of.

Nationally, the Fraternity maintains chapters at all six of the Osteopathic Colleges. During the past college year of 1958-59, the spirit of Fraternalism flourished at 4624 Spruce Street, the Chapter House. The Fratern ity produced many outstanding social and educational activities. Note- worthy among these were the rushing functions, the annual Christmas Party, and several lectures, demonstrations, and movies, featuring many of the prominent alumni of the Chapter. Mention must also be given to the Phi Sig Wives Club for their contribution to the House, through their many fund raising activities. OFFICERS President Willard Noyes Vice-President Raymond Saloom Treasurer Tomulyss Moody Secretary Richard Valko OFFICERS President Michael Avallone Vice-President James Coretti Treasurer Donald Bottomley Secretary Anthony LoBionco Iota Tau Sigma Iota Tau Sigma, the oldest Gi ' eek letter Fraternity in the Osteo- pathic Profession, was founded in Kirkville, Missouri, December 3, 1902. Founded for the purpose of fellowship and self-achievement in the ad- vancement of the science of Osteopathy, Iota Tau Sigma has accom- plished its goal through excellent leadership, a large and experienced alumni, and an enthusiastic membership. Delta Chapter is the oldest Fraternity on the P. CO. campus, having received its charter in 1903. The motivation for its organization stemmed from the desire of a small group of students to augment and intensify their common and educational interests. Its activities are integrated with and to some extent regulated by a Supreme Council on a National level. The official publication, THE GOZZLE NIPPER, provides each Brother with a semi-annual report of the activities and the progress of the various chapters and individual members. We of Delta Chapter extend our gratitude and best wishes to our Brothers throughout the world who maintain and advance the principles of Osteopathy. 90 Lambda Omicron Gamma Founded at P.C.O. in 1924 by a group of students desirous of strengthening common bonds and furthering good fellowship, Caduceus Chapter, one of the five undergraduate chapters of the Fraternity which has since grown to achieve national significance, has been noted at the College for both its active educational and social programs. Meetings are held every other week throughout the school year at the chapter house, 46th and Locust Streets. Guest speakers lecture on various medical and surgical topics following each meeting. The quality of this educational program attracts many students not affiliated with the Fraternity. Social functions are held at frequent intervals. L.O.G. ' s annual Na- tional Convention, which is attended by students as well as graduates, has developed into a highlight of the College ' s social year. The Con- vention held this year at the Traymore Hotel in Atlantic City, N. J., featured seminars, professional exhibits, business meetings and a gala dinner dance.

It is the largest and oldest national osteopathic fraternal order having a chap- ter in each of the osteopathic colleges. It has a Grand Council with its main headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Styloid Chapter, at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy was founded in 1924 with the objectives of exercising fraternal functions and furthering osteopathic education. The brotherhood has consistently been a leader in P.C.O. activities and is an integral part of campus life both socially and educationally. The fraternity has produced many good men who have returned to give their time to educate students. It can boast of a brother in very many of the departments of the school.

The presentation of the many various medical and medico-moral problems that are of particular interest to the members, both by alumni members of our own profession and by religious instructors from the several local colleges, adds to the scope of the Guilds activities. Included in the yearly schedule is the annual White Mass spon- sored by the Guilds Federation and attended by all the osteopathic and medical physicians and students in Philadelphia. The annual Com- munion Breakfast and Retreat are held in the Spring. All of the above activities, as well as many more, help to make the Guild an active organization. 93 Hillel Hillel seeks to serve the needs of all Jewish students in a variety of ways, but primarily it serves as an educational institution. The Hillel Counselorship at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy is under the supervision of Rabbi Samuel H. Berkowitz, Philadelphia Hillel Area Di- , rector, who, together with the Steering Committee made up of Osteo- pathic students, attempt to bring to the attention of Jewish students, problems, of relevance to them as Jews and as physicians. During the past year periodic meetings have been conducted ap- proximately once a month, featuring speakers at luncheons, films, etc. In the past, programs have been conducted dealing with the religious needs of Catholics, Protestants, and Jewish patients; lectures on anti- Semitism and human relations, and films about Israel. An annual drive is conducted under the general auspices of the College Division of the Philadelphia Allied Jewish Appeal. The facilities of the Hillel Foundation, 202 South 36th Street, are available to Osteopathic students. Religious services are held in the chapel of the Foundation every Friday evening, and High Holy Day services are conducted at the University Museum on the Penn campus. MH Christian OsteopatliJc Society The Christian Osteopathic Society meets during the noon hour every Thursday. The purpose of this society is to provide opportunity for Christian fellowship, Bible study, and prayer for students who believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and who seek to help mankind spiritu- ally as well as physically. Christian service is emphasized in the program in view of the important position of the physician as a leader in his community. Our fellowship opened with a picnic at Saginaw Lodge. At our weekly meetings we had two general themes. One consisted of speakers who presented the subject of The Christian Osteopath and his relation- ships as to his philosophy, home, devotional like, office, patient, church and community. The other was a study of the Book of Luke with particular attention to the parables. This study enlightened the group as Luke, also, was a physician. Other meetings were devoted to movies and student speakers. The year was brought to a close with our Sixth Annual Banquet with Alex O. Dunlap as speaker. The advisors to the society are Dr. Robert W. England and Mr. Thomas Rowland. 95 OFFICERS General Chairman John A. Kelly, Jr. Program Chairman James E. Green Membership Chairman Kirk H. Herrick Secretary Marjorie L.

It purpose is to help the undergraduate student acquire a better understanding of osteopathic principles attain a maximum effi- ciency in osteopathic structural diagnosis and manipulative therapy, and to foster in themselves and in others a clear concept of clinical application of osteopathic procedure in health and disease. A meeting is__held monthly at which time guest speakers discuss osteopathic therapy and diagnosis as related to problems met in practice. Following each speaker a technique session is held to aid the student in improving his manipulative dexterity. To attain membership in the Undergraduate Academy a student must have completed successfully, two trimesters of his Freshman Year, attend 75 7° of the meetings, and be approved by the executive commit- tee. All students who are interested in the organization are urged to apply for membership. _r r. r. — _r r r rl ' - _r rJ rJL. tire i ) ) } w a n a - , Q OFFICERS ' President Leonard H.

The Society is under the able faculty direction of Dr. William Daiber, Chairman of the Department of Internal Medicine. At each monthly meeting, guest speakers who are active in specific fields of Internal Medicine are invited to speak to the active society, and any staff members, residents or interns who wish to attend. These meetings are usually concluded with a seminar on the topic of that par- ticular meeting. Membership is open to Juniors and Seniors who indicate interest in the field of internal medicine. Awards are given to each eUgible member at the close of the senior year. 97 Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology The Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology is composed of Junior and Senior students who have an interest in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Its purpose is to promote and further knowledge in these fields for the benefit of interested students. Opportunity is provided for members to acquaint themselves with the newer developments in Obstetrics and Gynecology. In keeping with these purposes, the Society holds monthly meetings at which various staff members and guest lecturers present topics of interest. Occasionally movies accompany the lecture. Students are en- couraged to participate in a program of clinical and academic research. To this end, a scientific paper is required of all senior students. Members of the Society are also invited to attend the clinic spon- sored by the Planned Parenthood Association of Philadelphia. OFFICERS President Henry H. Beck Vice-President James H.

All out-patient calls received by the hospital are handled by members of the Society under the guidance of the Pediatric Residents and Pediatric Staff Members of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy headed by William S. Spaeth, D.O., F.A.C.O.P., Chief of the Pedriatic Department. Regular monthly lectures on subjects of current interest in the pedriatic field are offered by staff members and guest lecturers. Membership in this Society is limited to students in the Third and Fourth years. It is required that members of the Fourth year submit an abstract on a recently published pediatric article and three case sum- maries on Pediatric cases observed either in the hospital or clinic. 100 student Wives OFFICERS President Mary Anne Kingsley (Mrs. Ross) Vice-President Margaret Soechtig (Mrs. Carl) Treasurer Mildred Collins (Mrs. Frank) Recording Secretary Sue Bo-wman (Mrs. Robert) Corresponding Secretary .

Education and service are equally important aims at this integral part of the P.C.O. family. Informative guest speakers were featured at the regular monthly meetings, and in keeping with the educational theme the group presented an enlightening panel discussion concerning matters pertinent to the future of P.C.O. students. Each year the wives participate in the Osteopathic Christmas Seal Campaign and the Cancer Crusade. Fund raising projects for the year included Bake Sales, a White Ele- phant Sale, the publishing of a recipe booklet, and a Fashion Show-Card Party. Part of the proceeds from these events were used to purchase books for the P.C.O. Library. The growing realization of the important part the STUDENT ' S WIFE plays in public relations, promotion of Osteopathy and the better- ment of Public Health highlighted the year 1958-59. 101 Domenic M. Falco Managing Editor Leonard H. Finkelstein Co-Editor Bertram P. Shapiro Co-Editor Ronald Goldberg Advertising Editor SYNAPSIS 1959 Through the efforts of a small, but untiring group of students, this yearbook was brought into being.

It was difficult also to comprehend the ways and means of Philadelphia College of Osteopathy the first weeks we were here. Tom Rowland put forth his new policy — Peace and Quiet! . For a short while everyone (even the sophomores) seemed quite confident that the policy was indeed, in effect. Suddenly the walls echoed with the anguished cries of the be- fuddled Freshman Class. Is it possible to be three weeks behind in Anatomy assignments when we have only been in school four days? The Sorcerer ' s Apprentice — and remember, my door is ALWAYS open Our first six weeks were an entirely new ex- perience. Study habits became, slowly but surely, implanted into a new rigorous schedule. The mind settled itself to routine. Week-ends, once a time for joy and relaxation, became a Saturday night with Sunday devoted partly or entirely to study. TV became a forgotten word. Then came finals and as if a miracle had come, the gray skies parted, the sun shone again, and everything started to jell together. . . . The fraternities graciously invited us to their smokers and we were rushed. And then it was Christmas and home for the holidays. We re- turned . . . from New Mexico to Michigan; the Bronx to good old South Philly. . . . After the holidays the Class began to take a closer look at each other. Something about the Class we had not yet noticed. Six of us were thirty years old or more. One of the fellows had an eleven-year-old son. . . . We may be Freshmen but we ' re old Freshmen. . . . Even the basketball club was winning ball games. . . . More invigorating events took precedence over our lives as the nose returned to the grind. Gastric analysis and Blood-letting, an experience we ' ll not soon forget. The Cat Acromegalic Metacarpal I try to do my best with what the Dean sends me. Tell me more, Doctor! Waterboilers, Local 301 Several of our classmates even found time between assignments to become acquainted with the ever-changing problem of having a new member arrive in the family. Days flew into weeks . . . weeks to months. The fraternities held their closing affairs ... we took more finals and the third trimester came to a close . . . and now we look to the future in the hope that our Sophomore Year will be as fruitful, but not quite as bewildering as our first.

If this be true, we of the second year class plead guilty. Fresh from a summer of work and play our year began on a new note. A note sounding a goal in sight. A goal not many years off, where a few months earlier it seemed aeons away. This goal now visible became worth struggling for. And never let it be said it was not a struggle. The first year could be called a tedious indoctrination into the basic fundamental sciences of medicine. The second became a spirited involvement into the newer realms of medicine. Struggle or no, this wc liked. The 77 charter members of the class of ' 61 returned in full force to greet its newest colleague from Kirksville. This seemed to set the pace for our second year. It became one of a new comraderie. A comraderie developed as we moved in and cut of classes and labs, fraternal affairs and dances, clubs and spades. Deep friendships and satisfying companionships became the keynote of this, our sec- ond year. Too, we began to sense the growing concern of our faculty for our future good. A surface touch with these generous men was now penetrating and establishing deeper interpersonal relationships. And the knowledge began to pour — and pour — and pour. And the courses grew from the lonely six to the bulging twenty by year ' s end. And with it, we too have grown; grown wiser, tamer; grown eager to grasp the challenge this second year has presented to us. Pithology Who said that? AUright, boys!

As you pass from industrious students to respected physicians, may your professional adven- ture be a pleasing and rewarding one. We of the Junior Class are sure that you will meet the high standards set for all Osteopaths by the preceding graduates of the Philadelphia College of Osteop- athy. As we extend our expression of happiness for your joy and success, we anxiously await the day when we also will graduate. When you leave this school as Osteopaths, the Junior Class will inherit the clinic and hospital responsibilities that were in your custodianship for the last year. For three years we have been adding to our armamentarium so that we would be able to handle the job with the same excellence that you d isplayed. Life ' s Blood I ' ve created a monster!

However, all of our three previous years have not been in serious studies since we, like all other classes before us, have had our humorous moments. There are some courses which will always be remembered like Lapel Horticulture with Dr. Py or Music Appreciation with Dr. Lutz. It was Dr. Lessig who taught us the value of the seemingly dis- carded things. Now Dr. Baldwin didn ' t say so but we learned Physi- ology. Who will forget when we saw the conductor and got our tickets punched. To our amazement we were continually having foundations laid for us to be a transverse process. Dr. Cressman taught us a t-r-e-m-e-n-j-o-u-s course in Dermatology and Histology. Did you know, and if you didn ' t, I can assure you that Pathology was a very informative course. Ha, Ha, you Flunk!

We finally made it! Strengtk to lift at least a part of the burden of my sufferkg of the privilege that is mine. FOURTH YEAR In the following section, we will attempt to illustrate through the medium of the candid camera, the trials and tribulations of the Fourh Year student as he passes through the clinical phase of his training. After three years of intense didactic instruction, the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy student moves into the stark reality of clinical and hospital practice during the summer following third year final examina- tions. The class is divided into groups which cover the clinics and various hospital services of both the 48th Street and 20th Street units. In the fall, the (plass is divided into two sections of two groups each and is rotated through the clinics and hospital services for equal terms during the course of the academic year.

The services through which each-externe is rotated include: Obstetrics, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Emer- gency Room, Pediatrics, and Radiology. From each of these tours, he slowly begins to acquire the practical skills, which combined with his didactic knowledge, mould him itlto the competent future physician. Working closely with otitstanding staff physicians, residents, and interns, the fourth year student, by observa- tion and practice develops professional manner, confi- dence, and pride. These attributes come only through hard work and sincere desire, but as the year passes, the externe becomes more adept at thorough examinations, accurate diagnosis, and competent bedside treatment.

The thrill of assisting a new life entering this world is one of the most rewarding experiences possible in the practice of medicine. During the anxious hours of labor, it is the respon- sibility of the student physician to follow and record the progress of labor and thus learn to fully appreciate the wondrous mechanism of birth. The department of Obstetrics gradually guides the externe into more active participation and as the year progresses, his duties run the complete gamut of obstetrical practice. He observes and learn? the use of various anesthetics, methods of induction, instruments, and modes of delivery. and order me a Paul ' s special and a Pepsi 9 out of 10 Doctors recommend n Maybe it IS Adams-Stokes? 142 It won ' t be long now ... f ' t ' - '  ■ ' ' V 143 . . . and in the third at Hialeah ... PI, Another busy day at the clinic. The medical floors extend quite a chal- lenge to the student physician, as his ability to elicit an accurate history and physical often proves to be the essential part of the most difficult diagnosis. Review of charts, as well as bedside instruction by staff physi- cians and residents, serve to broaden the students ' scope in the problems of diagnosis and treatment. Each week, numerous con- ferences are held, in which the many phases of internal medicine are covered. A great amount of time is spent teaching the intric- acies of electrocardiography, bone marrow study, and other specialized skills. Who took the needles? HCC: I got a Hoola Hoop for Christ- mas.

The daily bedside treatments, that each externe administers helps him in improving his doctor-patient relationship. Dr. Sidney KocKman Department of Medicine The latest thing in analgesics.

From the suturing of lacerations to the digitalization of a cardiac case,. the externe learns to think wisely and to act with a minimum of delay. The performance by members of the Class of 19 59, in the recent Dorset Apartment fire, is sufficient evidence of how well these lessons have been learned. Nobody knows what a nose knows!

Pediatrics, from the viewpoint of the potential pediatrician or general practi- tioner, is one of the most important phases of preparation for future practice. It is here that the student learns to recognize the disease entities most common to chil- dren, as well as the techniques necessary in handling young patients. The Pediatrics Department makes a constant effort to pre- sent cases of interest to the students. Tech- nical skills, made more difficult by the age of the patient, are taught in such a manner that the student ' s proficiency gradually im- proves with time and repetition. %f Levophed, Elvis!! 150 Mandibular drainage.

CLINIC SERVICE Probably the time that is spent in either the 48th or 20th Street clinics, is the most interesting, rewarding, and informative phase of the fourth year training program.

When there is need for spe- ciahzed attention, the patient is referred to the respective specialty clinic, in much the same man- ner as the practicing physician refers to the spe- cialist. The extern accompanies his patient to these clinics, and in this way is able to observe and appreciate the more exacting methods of examina- tion and therapy. WOMEN Professional immunity. The specialty clinics include the various sub- divisions of internal medicine, as well as general surgery, orthopedic surgery, obstetrics, gynecol- ogy, dermatology, urology, neuro-psychiatry, and pediatrics. Also available to the booth doctor, is a physical therapy clinic, completely equipped with rehabilitative and therapeutic appliances. One of the greatest attributes of the specialty clinic referral routine, is the realization on the part of the future general practitioner of his existing limitations. Thus the student-physician learns to recognize situations which require consultation as well as the protocol involved. Dr. Theodore Schwartz Clinical Supervisor I can get it for you wholesale.

Each day a different member of the class serves as conference chairman, and it is his duty to bring to the attention of his fellow students a case of special interest or a topic of great import. These sessions serve to test the diagnostic acumen of the student as well as to keep him informed of the latest medical developments. 164 Hy Ho, Steverino!! Say ahh! Dr. William M. Barnhurst Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology It ' s so easy when you know how. You can ' t keep your appointment? The weekly tumor conferences, held under the direction of the Oncology Department, are one of the true highlights of the fourth year ' s educational program. Two externes are appointed in advance of each conference to summarize recent tumor cases seen in the hospitals and clinics. With repre- sentation of various hospital departments present, including those physicians who actually managed the case, the clinical course is discussed and re- viewed from all possible diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. It is through such seminars that the future practitioners are made more cognizant of the im- portance of early diagnosis and adequate therapy in the management of neoplastic diseases. 166 Dr. William Mitchell and veighing in at 2 lbs., 4 oz. . i W She ' was four plus.

As the externship is completed, the gradu- ate physician begins his internship with an eye toward future general or specialty practice.

A wise man who took special delight in carrying premises CO their logical conclusion decided one day that the phar- maceutical industry yv as dedicated to putting itself out of business. In your service to the physician, said he, ' ' you w age unrelenting w ar against sickness and disease. You support massive research programs to put improved means of treatment into the doctor ' s hand. You have made chemistry the handmaiden of medicine. With your vaccines, you have caused microorganisms to work against themselves. ' ' Manifestly, your accomplishments have been many and mighty, he continued. You have helped lengthen the life expectancy of mankind. You have helped mankind enjoy those extra years. For your humanitarian accomplishments, you are to be con- gratulated. But, he cautioned, have you stopped to con- sider that on the day you are fully successful you will have put yourself out of business?

Dr. Bruce is one of an army of ceaselessly exploring scientists in his section of the Research and Development Division of Wyeth. In these uncharted regions of organic synthesis, Dr. Bruce finds that compounds of great promise do not always result in clinical breakthroughs. Take the case of WY-1292. This was one of a group of selenium analogues of cystine synthe- sized by Dr. Bruce and his associates in an effort to develop an improved agent for leukemia. After a score of derivatives of the parent com- pound had been created and screened, clinical draw backs were acknowledged. The process had consumed many man-hours of organized effort. Disappointment was natural. Antileukemic ac- tion had been successfully demonstrated, but leukemic cells were shown to acquire increasing resistance to the drug. So this is an agent you ' ll never see. Every research scientist has a dogged instinct to penetrate nature ' s barriers. Dr. Bruce and his fel- lows at Wyeth are responsible for a constant flow of compounds, some of which represent victories in the obstetrics of research. These are the Wyeth drugs that permit improved care of patients. Philadelphia l,l a. 181 LYON ARMOR, INC.
