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 only those recognized methods of treatment consistent with good judgment and with my skills 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 com- munity, sustaining its laws and institutions, not engaging in those practices which will in any way bring shame or discredit upon my- self 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 imputa- tions 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. HIPPOCRATIC OATH . . . swear by Apollo the physician, and Aescu- lapius, 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 other, I will follow the system of regime which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider. For the benejit oj my patients and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous, I will give no deadly medicine to anyone 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 la- boring 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 cor- ruption; and further from the seduction of fe- males or males, or freemen and slaves. What- ever in connection with my professional practice or not in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of me n, which ought not be spoken of abroad. I will not divulge as reckoning that all such should be kept secret. While I continue to keep oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to en- joy 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! DR. WILLIAM F. DAIBER DEDICATION He that go fins well lends the hliiid, but he that teaches gives them eyes. In the dedication of our Synapsis, we the class of 1964 felt that vc should choose a person with the following quali- ties: a man who is both eager and sincere to help young aspiring physicians gain knowledge from those who ha c passed before him; a man dedicated to teaching others so they m ay better serve a grateful yet demanding public; a physician whom neophyte physicians could look up to and draw experience from; a physician of the highest ethical and medical integrity and one who has helped build our osteopathic concepts. To the class of 1964, one individual not only met most of these criteria, but rather fulfilled them all. In Doctor William Daiber the class found sincerity, honesty, eagerness and in- tegrity. Throughout our four years at P.C.O. Dr. Daiber has repeatedly shown his ability and sincerity in teaching us osteopathic medicine and therapy for which many years from now we shall all be grateful. To Doctor William Daiber we the class of 1964 extend our most sincere thanks and appreciation. We all hope that we can live up to your teaching and be worthy of all your time and effort. Sincerely, The Class of 1964 ANGUS G. CATHIE D.O. ; M.Sc. (ANAT) IN APPRECIATION ... and gladly would he learn and gladly teach. ' ' Dr. Angus Cathie in his ca- pacity as teacher and physician has defined for us the fundamental principles of medicine and the art of their application. Through the clarity of his exposition we have unfolded before us the whole pattern for a full and satisfying life of service to mankind. We are sincerely appreciative of his counsels, his understanding and his zealous concern for us as students and future osteopathic physicians. For all these reasons and many more we owe him much more gratitude than we can express in these few lines. Thus it is with the greatest of pleasure that we recognize him in this small measure.

We in the osteopathic profession suf- fered a great loss this past year with the passing of Dr. Wilbur Lutz. During ' our course of study here we have been exposed to many individuals but Dr. Lutz is one who will be remem- bered by all long after the thoughts of others have passed from our minds. His contributions to the art and science of osteopathic medicine are well known throughout the profession. He was truly an eternal student, ever eager to learn and still more eager to communicate his knowledge to us. He shall always be remembered not only as a skilled diagnostician but also as a very warm and devoted friend to all. VICTOR R. FISHER D.O., M.Sc. (OSTEO) F.A.C.O.I. While we as a class were not fortunate enough to be exposed to the superb skill and knowledge of Dr. Victor Fisher per- sonally, the class of 1964 is nonetheless acutely aware of his great abilities. He succeeded in transmitting many of his skills to the very same individuals who are today passing them on to us. Therefore it is with the utmost enthusi- asm that we shall strive to emulate this skilled physician. His achievements shall live on as a testimonial of his wonderful ability.

Mercter Dean S Msc The class of ' 64 took P. CO. b) ' storm; literally speaking, hurricane Diane. Before we e -en began our formal curriculiun we were confronted with two weeks of biochemistry review lectures. These lectures were designed to raise our grades from sin- gle figure to double figures. This plus a pep talk from the dean reduced the mortality rate to a mere 35. There we were 8:00 A.M. Thursday morning for our first class. In retrospect this was a memorable day. This was to be the first and last time our class was 100% pres- ent; fortunately for us because this was our first meeting with the famed Dr. A. G. C. who in quick order shocked us into the realization of what was ahead of us. The fall out is still with us. When things really started to get rough, Dr. C. could be counted upon to give us a word of encouragement such as See the chaplain and get your ticket punched . . . and who could forget the many hours spent in the anatomy lab, which was kept immaculate due to the efforts of H. H. Strieker the museuin curator when present. ... or Charlie Bridges the time the cadaver fell from lithotomy position to the prone position on the floor ... or the familiar Okie Dokie if you will . . . and no one will deny our invigor- ating swims through the 4 ventricles on Saturday mornings ... or the frantic race to prepare ourselves for the anatomy practicals. Our memory also goes back to the famous guessing game played weekly in the histology lab, with the moderator invariably replying — that tremenjus answer is worth about a zero. And we must always bear in mind as we back off that everyone makes mistakes gentlemen. The hours spent in physioloby lab were profitable to all. New specialties were rapidly established consisting of Kymographic counterfeit- ing, Kymographic roulette, rabbit-napping and turtle and frog races. Somehow due to our ingenuity we managed to repair the equipment so we could do the experiment next week. Now we march into chemistry lab where we meet the students ' friend, Dr. J. S. and his able-bodied assistant John. Here we see two students fencing with $15 pipettes, who were rapidly brought to attention by Herr Schall. Our first assignment was to read Hav k Oser Sommerson from cover to cover and be prepared for a small two hour quiz the following day. Somehow we all avoided a transfer to the meat department at Penn Fruit. Prior to our third trimester finals most of the students assembled at Mermaid Lake for a joyous day of goofing off. Many overheard Amster say as he hastily stuffed the last case of soda and hot dogs into his car, If only I had a pick up truck I could stock up on enough to last me not only through finals, but for the long hot summer on Beaver Dam Stock Farm. The year ended on a very serious note — finals. With anat- omy and biochem, out of the way, we were now ready to take on pathology and a new form of weekly quizzing. We made it! We successfully completed that long ardu- ous first year and now settled down to the principles of body function. Bearing in mind our classroom lectures, we watched more drums of kymographs go round as again frogs kicked, rabbit ears were injected and turtles headed for safer grounds. The lab was reopened for more and bet- ter ways to gamble. The simple reflex arc gave way to a myriad of neural pathways of the C.N.S., which were invad- ed by astrocytomas and all sorts of signs and symptoms. The area of involvement was best visualized at 5 P.M. in a large auditorium with the shades drawn and the lights out. Believing the pictures in the text of the various diseases of the body weren ' t sufficient we drew many hearts, kidneys and lungs, nearly dropping a few bottles doing so and looked through a scope until our partner found a mitotic nucleus. However, we found the quality and clarity of those 199 practical sides not quite so good as our own box of 150. Fortunately, there was always one hour in the day we could sit back in our comfortable chairs and listen to fascinat- ing, clearly vocalized lectures which reached every corner of the room with great enthusiasm concerning Zenke ' s hyaline degeneration of muscle. Bearing in mind the man-induced pathology of our frog we proceeded to cure him with prostigmine, curare and strychnine. The drugs we learned to dispense in the class- room were somewhat more humane. From September till June we also learned that to suc- ceed in Neurology we had to complete a triangle — Got it- Get it-Grtxid. Having grounded ourselves thoroughly with the basic principles of health we became novice clinicians and in- spected, palpated, ausculted and percussed each other always searching for Hordes spots, and the history of con- tact with a bird. We listened for Austin Flint murmurs and searched for Virchow ' s node and many other interesting signs. Realizing that the baby is not a little man, his penchant for Similac, Karo and Dextri-Maltose were learned. Just for fun we also threw in the size of the head, various weights, measurements and colors. It became clear that a matching test is far easier than sitting in a smoked filled room talking about Chicken Pox and Koplik spots. Hegar ' s sign and Braxton-Hicks contractions were the beginning of our delivery days. The pelvic inlet and outlet, LOA, ROA, etc. also became part of our new means of thought. P-Q-R-S-T was our introduction into cardiovas- cular diseases. After each set of exams, the class would watch Jim Tierney but especially the color of his tie. Dur- ing the two years we all learned to run when a black tie was the color of the day. After such a — year, did we really believe we would reach he big half way mark? But — we made it. CLASS HISTORY 3rd 4th YEARS As we entered the third year, each of us with our own thoughts, hopefully we looked forward to our didactic in- troduction to clinical medicine. If one were to pick those situations which most characterize our third year, certainly those long, long days of sitting in Room 2 1 1 and those too numerous examinations would be outstanding. Yes, we sat and we sat some more. And all those examinations — year after year though the questions remained static, the ans- swers seemed to change. It ' s been said, Give the P. CO. man a set of notes and enough coffee, cigarettes, and am- phetamines and he can pass any exam whether it be law, accounting, plumbing, or even medicine. The examina- tion periods were traumatic and by the time the twenty- sixth exam came around, it was a supreme effort just to push the pen across the paper. But there were many laughs, and no small number of them were due to our new addition, Neil Connelly. Who can forget when Ethel Allen, after walking into Demiato- logy class in a scrub suit with a surgical cap on her head was asked by Neil, Say Aunt Jemima, are those pancakes ready yet? The Lederle trip was great fun and we recall Connelly ' s cautious plea concerning the bus arrangements for the LOG members and the Catastrophic possibilities to the Osteopathic profession. It was during the trip to Pearl River that the imbibers and passion flowers made themselves known to us in earnest. The card games flourished as never before ( My group — follow me ), and cutting classes had developed into a fine art now mastered by even the most conservative of our classmates. Seats disappeared never to be found again, and not just behind the coat rack in the sophomore room. Amazingly twelve people vvould be present, but eighty five would be accounted for. The third year also head its tragic moments. The Dean 200 had always said we were hand picked, but unfortunately there were a few who were plucked, never to return. This was the year we discovered we were the class Dr. Cathie liked, for which we informally thanked the class of 1963. Then, ju st before the last exam of the last trimester, J. T., tie and all, announced the hospital assignments and suddenl) ' we were physicians. Now at last we would put three years of intensive didactic training to fruitful use in the clerkship year. Now we would match our wits with the forces of disease at work in the sick body. But alas, during the quiet hours all we matched were pennies. But even as we went from vein to vein from blood pressure reading to bedside technique, we learned our medicine. We gleaned as much knowledge as was possible from every patient from eveiy situation (even Newsweek maga- zine). While on Obstetrics, many of us actually got to deliver babies not just on the multiparous mutilated manne- quin. Surgical Scrub was more than just an opportunity to hold retractors develop varicosities of the lower extrem- ity ; it was also a personal battle to prevent contamination. Some of us enjoyed the clinics most of all. We shall prob- ably all remember the expression, Mah Boof Doctor , the elderly female patient who winked when told she had acute angina. And while Dr. Stiegler was enforcing the Rule of the Artery as Supreme, Dr. Rosen, with his biting sarcasm, also taught us medicine. The fourth year was also the time for the introduction of an expression for which we hope we will not be remember- ed. That peculiar combination of an expiratory grunt and a dyspeptic blech — Brrrrp — that was frequently heard through the halls of P.C.O., sometimes during the most peculiar situations And so our four years at P. CO. are brought to a formal conclusion. While we have eagerly awaited graduation, as always, in retrospect it seems that the time has passed too quickly. Yesterdays ' trials tribulations provide for the humerous stories of today, but soon these will only be memories. As we leave P.C.O. to resume our education as interns, we can do so with the satisfaction of a job well done in the great tradition of our profession. We recall the benefit of associations made here the need for the appli- cation of high moral spiritual values in the practice of medicine everyday living. 201 CLINIC w: _ f B - U k ... %} 202 203 Surveying village health needs, an SK F Foreign Felloiu examines a child in Kurali, near New Delhi, India.
