FREDRIC H. EARTH, B.S., D.Sc, LL.D. PRESIDENT PHILADELPHIA COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHY There appear in history, from time to time, examples of institutions which, with the right leadership, move forward rapidly and vigorously. Phila- delphia College of Osteopathy is an illustration of such an institution. Over a decade and a half ago, the college was at that point where, be- cause of internal and external conditions, it was ready to move forward with the right leadership, and the right leadership appeared. The Class of 1965 salutes Dr. Fredric H. Barth in admiration and in grati- tude for the leadership which he has brought to this college, and for his contribution to the Osteopathic profession. More than anyone realizes, the welfare of the Osteopathic profession is the result of Dr. Earth ' s faith in Osteopathy, in his determination that this college shall be a great insti- tution, and in his conviction that the future, not only in this profession but in America, rests in the education of young people dedicated to the service of their fellow citizens and this nation. The Class of 1965 wishes to express its gratitude to Dr. Barth for what he has done for each member of the class, for the college and for the Osteopathic profession.

He explains his role as the Dean as being an adviser and providing assistance to the faculty as they arrange the teaching program, so that not only will the student be familiar with current techniques, but that he will also have an integrated experience. Dean Mercer ' s plans for P.C.O. include institutional growth to a major medical center; a student body num- bering six hundred; a large group of post-doctoral fellows; a Ph.D. program; Para-medical education.
