The future of Osteopathy? I don ' t know, there are too many variables; but from what I can see across this country, it looks good. Osteopathy, if it chooses, can go far. The pos- sibilities are vast, and we have bare- ly scraped the surface. SPENCER G. BRADFORD, D.O. Dedication Success is not having, but rather being and doing — I sup- pose that is not original, but it is true none the less. No-one could better understand that, than the speaker of these words. Dr. Spencer Bradford. After a pre-medical training at Temple Univ., with a tradition of Osteopathic Physicians in his family since 1911, a natural interest in the sciences and the encouragement of an under- standing father. Dr. Bradford matriculated at POO in 1938. After the first week, I was ready the join the foreign legion, he said, I had no intention of teaching after graduation; I guess I wasn ' t farsighted.
