7A MEMORIAM KENNETH LEROY SENIOR August 11, 1907 September 22, 1959 As the last class to sit in fotmal lecture with Mr. Senior, we are especially honored to dedicate this page to his memory. For twenty-three years he shared with this institution and its students his determination to provide the very best for the most. We were the last to appreciate his active willingness, but the fruit of his endeavors will linger for a long time. Mr. Senior became affiliated with the Phila- delphia College of Osteopathy in 1934, after years of extensive training in the biological sciences. Be- tween the years of 1934-1957 he advanced from Assistant in Chemistry to Chairman of the Department of Chemistry. He served as Assistant Dean of the college from 1952-1954 and in 1954 was awarded an honorary Doctor of Science degree from the college. His unrelenting desire to teach and to serve his fellow man will long be remembered by the thousands of students who have benefited from his untiring devotion. The hand of thanks will be ever extended by those who knew him — for these are the men who can say they have met greatness, his kind of greatness, which is seldom achieved in one short life- time. May he receive eternal rest in his departure from the peoples and the places he knew and served.

K. HOBART ROATCH July 18, 1896 July 10, 1959 The Class of I960 was saddened during its Senior Year by the most untimely death of Mr. K. Hobart Roatch. Mr. Roatch most ably represented the W. B. Saunders Publishing Company in various territories for a period of 22 years, though for several years pre- ceding his death, he worked in the Philadelphia area. He was held in such high esteem by the Saunders Company that he was almost invariably called upon to represent them at National Conventions. He was probably known and liked by more Osteopathic Physi- cians in the Country than any other layman who called upon them and was perhaps the best ambassador of good will to our profession that the Saunders Com- pany has ever had. Mr. Roatch was regarded as a friend by the administration, the faculty, and by the entire student body at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy. His ready smile and cheerful greeting could be found in the halls of the College every Wednesday afternoon. He was truly happy when he was surrounded by a group of students. With his passing the Osteopathic Profession and particularly the Philadelphia College has lost one of the best and dearest friends it has ever had. He will be sorely missed.
