Jay Ober- man. Associate Professor in the Department of Neurol- ogy and Psycliiatry. For more than five semesters, his enthusiasm for teaching and his knowledge of the world, ranging from classical medicine to existential- ism, held our enraptured attention from the lecture platform. It was Dr. Oberman ' s task to teach the fundamental dynamics of human personality. He did this with such sincerity, warmth, and intellect, that he inspired the admirati on of us all ' — the future general practitioners as well as the future psychiatrists. He made us realize that the doctor-patient relation- ship requires an investment of honesty and emotion by both participants. The special rapport which is thus created results in benefit to the patient and pride and fulfillment for the physician. Dr. Oberman exemplifies the physician-teacher in our midst whose ties to the student body are strong and fruitful. All of us in the class of 1966 are sincerely grateful for his friendship and constant interest and effort on behalf of our class. Recognition] The class of 1966 gives special recognition and thanks to Dr. Andrew Pecora, former Resident in Medi- cine, for his significant contribution to our education. It cannot be said of Andy that he taught a particular course well, because he taught no regular course. He filled in for an hour here or there throughout our sec- ond and third years when other men couldn ' t make it. He did this on short notice with little chance to pre- pare. Yet each lecture contained a valid lesson to re- member. His lectures were not dusty dissertations, but lively, informal, enjoyable give and take. He taught at our level, challenging us to think, to examine what we knew, and more important, what we did not know. As a resident, he was still learning himself, and thus had great empathy with the position of the student at P. CO. He used this insight along with his direct humor to correct us with a relevance to our deficiencies which few other teachers matched.

My congratulations to you. We are looking forward to welcoming you In September as a student at Philadelphia College of Osteopathy. I am pleased to inform you that your application for admission into the first year class, entering in September 1962, has been favorably acted upon . . . Thus, we began four years of hard work to prepare ourselves for a career of public service and public trust as an Osteopathic Physician. The history of the class of 1966 at the Philadelphia Col- lege of Osteopathy is more than a biography of eighty-three individuals. It is also the story of a college in change. As we have grown in our four year ' s at P. CO., so, too, the college has developed from its state on that warm day in early Sep- tember 1962, when we converged on the auditorium at 48th and Spruce Streets to register for our first year of profes- sional training. P. CO. was new to us then. It was a world of new faces, new disciplines, and new concepts. We soon discovered that it was also a world of long hours of laboratory dissection, unannounced examinations, and bi-weekly oral quizzes which managed to age many of us well beyond our years. We were fearful then, afraid of failure, of not reaching our goal. We did not know if we had it in us to endure four years of this new life, and we suffered. And yet, even with all this, we still had our dreams which guided us through these first unbearably difficult weeks — dreams of success, dreams of being an Osteopathic Physician in the fullest sense. The college also had its dreams then — dreams of a new campus, new buildings, and an increased student population. You will be the first class in the new building, we were told. It will be beautiful, they said, full of new equipment and improved facilities. However, city line still only sup- ported a much repaired large rectangular sign and many blocks of green grass. Together, we hoped, and waited, and followed our rainbow. After an initial brief encounter with the clavicle, (during which time, confusion reigned supreme), we settled down to learn anatomy, anatomy, and more anatomy. We soon dis- covered that this subject consisted of a great deal more than rote memory from a dry textbook. To exist in this new world, we had to learn a new language. Before long, such words as fascia, parenchyma, arthrodial, sterno-cleido- mastoideus, and Luschka ' s joints, became integral parts of our vocabularies. These words dominated our lunch conver- sations, filled our days, and often even invaded our dreams. Dr. Allen had informed us that the first year medical student must learn 10,000 new words, and she was not wrong. four years of hard work With pride and excitement, we told our parents and friends of our new discoveries and new accomplish- ments. How proud we were of being able to list the branches of the brachial plexus or name the muscles of the forearm. However, these first few weeks were also filled with many harrowing experiences. Each morning, we slowly walked that last block to school with our eyes constantly on the auditorium windows. Were the lights on? Was today the day? The day finally came, and we had our first surprise anatomy test. The end of the first trimester was unforgettably punctuated by an anatomy practical examination. While awaiting our moment of truth, in the cramped quarters of the back rooms of the laboratory, our time was divided between efi ' orts to recall some of Dr. Cathie ' s incomparable classroom drawings and serious thought as to what we were doing here in the first place. However, anatomy was not our only course. We had other things to occupy our spare time. These included many diverse courses such as: The study of the detec- tion and properties of the sub-atomic particles and their relation to nuclear physics and modern science, all of which was disguised under the innocuous title of Radiology I. Under professors, who guided us, we learned the art of layer by layer palpation and gradu- ally, through constant practice, we became somewhat adept at diagnosing lesioned segments. Through the efforts of the Dean, we were made aware of our posi- tion in the vast panorama of medical history and were assured that the future would be bright for all of us. 10 under professors who guided us With this thought to guide us, we began to relax. With the coming of winter, some of us mounted the large auditorium stage to participate in our first Christ- mas show at P.C.O. Then, slightly battered by the ru- mors of surprise exams, the long nights of studying and memorization, and the endless hours of labs and lec- tures, we went home for vacation to rest up for the days to come. After Christmas, our confidence in our- selves began to increase. However, the second term, with a total of 492 hours of clinical and didactic work, did not help to decrease our work load. It was during this time that we learned that our opinions concerning microscopic structures were, worth about a zero. If we had thought that anatomy and histology were exas- perating, we were to find another course which was even more so, namely, neuro-anatomy. 12 in this building Our education was further enhanced during this period by a most pleasant and memorable visit by Per- rin T. Wilson to our college. His enjoyable lectures and demonstrations will long be remembered and appreci- ated. However, it was too good to be true. Just as we thought that we were finally adjusting to the tedious day to day existence of the medical student, a new catastrophe appeared. March produced a biochemical storm which left many of us in its wake. During the third trimester, we discovered that doc- tor ' also meant part-time mechanic and part-time in- ventor. At times, it required great ingenuity to operate the equipment used in the physiology lab; but, bear in mind, that at the end of the term, we all had results of one type or another. Microbiology and parasitology were also a challenge. Where else can one find such little bugs with such long and encompassing names? .After eight exams in the final period, we returned our bone boxes and our slides, and tired but not defeated, we embraced the summer with pleasure and a sense of accomplishment. Our first year at P.C.O. was an ex- perience that we would rather look back upon than forward to. We had made it. We were second year students. Our second year was a tranquil interlude between the frantic scramble for survival of the first year and the restless anticipation that we experienced in the third year. The pressure seemed to be off. We had reached the point where we had mastered the funda- mentals of osteopathic medicine — normal anatomy and physiology. Now, eager to learn, we forged ahead to add the abnormal or diseased state to our armamen- tarian. 13 in the laboratory Our professors were more than equal to the task of satiating our curiosities. Dr. Bradford performed the herculean task of lecturing every day, first in physiol- ogy, then in pharmacology. Neither rain, nor snow, nor anything else could keep him from the lecture plat- form. Three hours weekly in the morning, twice weekly in the late, very late afternoon, he lectured. Dr. Brad- ford had infinite patience. He would explain, and re- explain, obscure points, and then answer irrelevant questions as if they had the greatest pertinence. Then, he might explain it all again to make sure that we understood. We thank him for his enthusiasm, endur- ance, and forbearance. Dr. Morton Greenwald, professor of pathology, pos- sesses a gentle perseverance, a passion for detail, order and statistics, and an infinite memory. Add to these qualities anosmia, (for doing autopsies in comfort), and you would have the complete pathologist. It was from Greenie ' s well organized lectures that we first learned about disease. In one year, he and Dr. James covered the world of pathology in completest detail. Dr. Greenwald was a solemn man, indulging in little levity. However, he must have found his weekly quiz- zes quite humorous. Here, he tried to catch two tables that were likely to be unprepared. Slowly, he dragged his stool over to a table and asked such questions as — what percentage of cervical carcinoma spreads via the bloodstream on even-numbered days? He must have been clairvoyant, for inevitably on the day that he reached your table, you more than likely had been out late the night before. In situations such as these, even the more imaginative members of the class found their usual defenses of little use. . y One of our Principles and Practice insiruclors in tiic sophomore year was jovial Dr. Nicholas S. Nicholas. Dr. Nick had many duties. He taught Athletic Injuries, supervised the extern program, conducted both a busy private and industrial medicine practice, was confidante to both student and administration, and taught manipulative techniques to all classes. It was evident that he got satisfaction from his work. We are sure that if he could just get enough adhesive tape to last through ten weeks of Gibney-boot making, there would not be a cloud in his sky. The semesters flew by, and the number of courses and subsequent linal examinations in- creased. As each examination period passed, the ranks of the virgins diminished. Would anyone survive nine sets of examinations without failing a course? It certainly did not look as if this was possible. Aside from the ever increasing number of final examinations, our second year was also marked by an outbreak of that strange and vague disease entity called Sophomoritis. Somehow, the second year medical student seems prone to develop many of the signs and symptoms which he reads about in his textbook. Dr. Tretta, we thank you for putting up with us that year. The third semester of the sophomore year was more interesting than any other, because we be- gan to study the specialties and the clinical as- pects of disease. Dr. Scharfs lectures on cardi- ovascular diseases scintillated with relevance, wit, and wisdom. Pediatrics, taught by Dr. Santucci, was another memorable course. Although he in- voked a ferocious manner, you could tell that he was a real good friend (or landsman, or paisan, as the case may be.). Gastroenterology was also enjoyable and worthwhile. In addition to peptic ulcer, gastric carcinoma, and ulcerative colitis, etc., we also are reminded of another entity dis- cussed by Dr. Frazier. called Montezuma ' s Re- venge. Invariably, each new lecturer would begin his presentation in the same manner: In the study of . . . , the importance of a thorough history and physical examination can not be overemphas- ized. After many repetitions of this basic con- cept, we were convinced of its merit. Now that our tastes had been verbally wetted, we longed to put our knowledge into practice, rather than just hear about it. However, one more year had to elapse before this would be possible. and classroom 16 through these doors During our third year at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy, we were steeped in the clinical aspects of osteopathic practice. Hour after hour, day after day, we were lectured to on the fine points of such subjects as Applied Anatomy, Dermatology, ENT, Pediatrics and Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery. During this time, we literally learned to practice medicine from the seat of our pants. As the hours of classroom work began to multiply, many of us felt that we were satura- ted in didactic knowledge. It was only the rumor that P.C.O. students were better prepared for the practice of Osteopathy, due to their superior academic back- ground, that kept us at our books. However, although we did not realize it then, such men as Dr. E. J. Leu- zinger. Dr. Alvin Rosen, and the trio of Drs. GUetto, Pecora, and Scharf, were making an indelible impres- sion on our memories. Looking back, we thank these men for their words of wisdom that supported many of us through the long days and nights of our senior ex- ternship. 18 19 rlinirs: nnrj hospitals .1 4V As we were being molded into physicians, the college was also taking a new form. The building program at City Line was finaUy begun. After many years of hard and conscientious work, by President Frederic H. Barth and others, the funds had all been raised, the difficulties had all been overcome, and the workmen were actually starting to construct our new hospital. Slow- ly but surely, the building began to take shape. We watched in awe as the large red girders were put in place to form the skeleton of our new home. It was becoming a reality. Our dreams were coming true. Then, after more than twenty exams, our last semester of classroom work was ended. At last it was over. We would never have classes and exams again. Brain weary, more from counting the minutes than from studying, we began our clinical training. Suddenly, abruptly, we had more than just eighty- three other classmtaes to look at, talk to, and work with. Our world once again was filled with new names and faces. There were staffmen, nurses, laboratory technicians, and even cashiers and secretaries, all who seemed to have more knowledge and experience than we in this new milieu. Suddenly, we were student doctors and had to do things for the first time as if we had been doing them all of our lives. However, the most wonderful aspect of this period was the patients: sick patients, well patients, good patients, bad pa- tients—all a challenge to the budding physician. We took histories, did physi- cals, gave treatments, and began to learn the intricacies of the art of practice. Several people with whom we came in contact in our fourth year made sincere efforts to prepare us for the future. The Radiology department, Drs. Gilhgan, Swift, Meals, and TUley, were perhaps the most stimulating. They corrected, heckled, and kidded each other and each of us and succeeded in making us correlate all that we knew with what we saw. Dr. James, as he performed postmortums and examined gross specimens remained aware that we were students and that he was a teacher. Dr. Herman Kohn and Dr. Lester Eisenberg made our surgery and obstetrical services profitable. Dr. Gerald Scharf reduced the maze of electrocardiography to its basic logical essentials. To all of these and to the many other men and women, on the clinic and hospital staffs, who were always by our side when we needed them, and who served to further our education, we say, thank you. Four years have gone by since first we entered the P.C.O. family. Four years of hard work, of trials and tribulations, of happiness and sorrow, all with the speed of four minutes. All of this will soon be a memory, but it has left its mark indelibly upon us. Here we have grown to be physicians in an environment which is rapidly approaching the ideal. No matter where the future will lead us, we will always be a part of P.C.O. 21 OSTEOPATHIC OATH: I do hereby affirm my loyalty to the profession I am about to enter. I will be mindful always of my great responsibilitity 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 profes- sional duties, to employ only those recognized methods of treatment consistent with good judgement and with my skill and ability, keeping in mind always nature ' s laws and the body ' s inherent capacity for recovery. I will be ever vigilant in aiding in the general welfare of the community, sustaining its laws and institutions, not engaging in those practices which will in any way bring shame or discredit upon myself or my profession. 1 will give no drugs for deadly purposes to any person, 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 imputions upon them or their right- ful 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 interests and for the interests of the students who will come after me. I will be ever alert to further the application of basic biologic truths to the healing arts and to develop the principles of osteopathy which were first enunciated by Andrew Taylor Still. to our goal. HIPPOCRATIC OATH: I swear by Apollo the physi- cian, and Aesculapius, and all the gods, and goddesses that according to my ability and judgement: 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 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 judgement, I consider for the benefit of 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 promote abortion. With purity and holiness I will pass my life and practice my art. I will not cut persons laboring under the stone, but will leave this to be done by men who are practi- tioners of this work. Into whatever houses I enter, I will go unto them for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption; and further from the seduction of females or males, or free- men and slaves. Whatever in connection with my pro- fessional practice or not in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men 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 enjoy 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. Administration A. M.

Mercer, Chairman of the Committee on Research, which includes Dr. Paul Lloyd as Coordinator, Dr. Robert Meals as Secretary, and members of the fac- ulty. Encouragement for this program has come from the General Research Support Grant originatirg in the Na- tional Institute of Health under the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare of the Federal Gov- ernment. During the past two years, research projects have been largely in the basic science divisions. Additional investigative programs in several other departments are anticipated for the coming year. Currently, research projects are under way in the departments of Chemistry, under the direction of Dr. Albert P. Kline; Physiology, under the direction of Dr. Spencer G. Bradford; and Pathology, under the direc- tion of Dr. Ruth V. E. Waddel. There are also projects of interest pertaining to the clinical features of medicine under the direction of Dr. William F. Daiber, Dr. Lester Eisenberg, and Dr. Ray- mond L. Ruberg. The research effort thus far has served to bring about many improvements in the clinical laboratories with the securing of new equipment, of a modern and sophisticated nature, for use by both the faculty and students. The objectives of the research committee of the Col- lege are that — (1.) Scientific investigations be carried out of such nature as to support and advance the cur- riculum of the College. (2.) Establish theories and principles of Osteopathy with satisfaction beyond ques- tion to the world of science and in particular to all schools of the healing arts. It is understood that research should be undertaken at this colle ge normally only under the ultimate direc- tion of a faculty member in response to his initiative or that of his students. siiM l MMtfS ft BW tJt t i Mi aw iss wt  . i« i MwaHa«aBt Paul T.

The well trained and faith- ful physician has the highest mis- sion in which the skill and fidel- ity of man can be employed Seniors many thanks William H. Sidow, class president One of the biggest gambles a class takes is the selection of a chairman. From a group of unknown quantities, it must select one man to become the major buffer between an arbi- trary administration and a recalcitrant student body. The class of 1966 was supremely fortunate in selecting William Sidow, whose insight, discretion, and diplomacy eased us past many obstacles in the path leading to our diplomas. Many thanks.

Co-Founder Ph.D.. D.O. OSTEOPATHIC DISPENSARY— From this dispensary, located at 1617 Fairmount Avenue, developed the Os- teopathic Hospital of Philadelphia. PRELUDE If growth and change are visible signs of viability, then it may be said that since its inception the Phila- delphia College of Osteopathy has been truly alive. From the very beginning of its existence, the story of P. C. O. has been marked by continued and constant growth. A NEW JERSEY CHARTER The College was first conceived by Mason Pressly and O. J. Snyder whUe they were still students at the Northern Institute of Osteopathy, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Dr. Pressly was graduated in June 1898 and proceeded to Philadelphia, where he immediately began work on plans for the new school. On January 24, 1899, Dr. Pressly obtained a charter in the State of New Jersey with a branch in Pennsylvania. This charter was for a professional school dedicated to, im- proved methods of the healing art in accordance with Osteopathic theories of etiology, diagnosis, the preven- tion and treatment of disease in general, and the prac- tice of surgery, obstetrics, and the specialties and to Osteopathic research and the dissemination of scien- tific knowledge. In order to keep the New Jersey Charter, the board meetings were held and recorded in the State of New Jersey. 134 The College occupied this building at 33rd and Arch Streets from 1904 until 1908. D. S. B. PENNOCk, DO., First Professor of Surgery The original stocks of the corporation numbering two hundred were valued at one-hundred dollars each. Dr. Pressly owned 99 V shares, Dr. Snyder owned 991 2 shares and George J. Berman, a Philadelphia lawyer, owned one share. In the early years of the school, these shares were sometimes given to faculty members in exchange for services rendered. Drs. Pressly and Snyder retained control of the college until 1904 when they sold all their remaining stock in the school. ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS The course was to be of two years duration. Each year was split into two five month semesters. Tuition was three-hundred dollars cash or three-hundred fifty dollars in a bankable note. This fee covered the com- plete course from entrance as a freshman until gradua- tion. Graduate physicians were permitted to complete the course in one year, at a fee of two-hundred dollars. The following were listed as the minimum conditions of matriculation in an early catalog. l.The possession of an undisputed moral char- acter. 2. The certification of an English education, equi- valent to the average High School course, may be ac- cepted as a minimal qualification. 3. In the absence of creditable and reputable cer- tificates of educational proficiency, the applicant may 135 x7ijliop:tA road Street be examined in English, Arithmetic, Geography, His- tory and Elementary Natural Philosophy. 4. It is desirable that all persons seeking profes- sional Osteopathy, should be graduates in some aca- demic course, as the studies embraced in Osteopathy require more than the average qualification for profes- sional life, for their successful mastery. OPENING DAY On January 27, 1899, under the name Philadelphia College and Infirmary of Osteopathy, (P.C.I.O.), the new school opened its doors for the first academic year. At the very beginning, the college was housed in two rooms of the Stephen Girard Building located at 12th Street above Chestnut. The school also operated a branch office at 117 South Virginia Avenue, Atlantic City, New Jersey. The original faculty consisted of seven professors. In June 1899, Dr. O. J. Snyder was graduated and immediately joined Dr. Pressly in Philadelphia. At the end of the first year, the college moved to the Witherspoon Building, Juniper and Walnut Streets. With the larger facihties, chemical and histological la- boratories were installed and equipped; also, additional anatomical equipment was purchased. One student, Ralph W. Davidson, who was a mem- ber of the first class, had already completed a portion of his studies at the American School of Osteopathy in Kirksville, Missouri. This enabled him to complete his studies before the other members of his class and re- ceive his diploma on September 1, 1899, thus becom- ing the first graduate of P. C. I. O. The remaining members of the first class. Gene G. Banker and Walter B. Keene were graduated on February 1, 1900. Walter B. Keene, A.B., M.D., D.O., is noted for many firsts. He was a member of the first graduating class from P. C. I. O. Having previously been gradu- ated from Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he was the first graduate physician to receive a D.O. degree from the Philadelphia College. Also, he became the first graduate of P. C. I. O. to return to the College as a faculty member. FIRST FEMALE GRADUATE From the very beginning, the school was co-educa- tional. There was no distinction as to sex, even though at this time in history, many medical schools limited their selection of students to men. Lillian Bentley was graduated January 30, 1901 to become the first female Osteopathic physician from the College. She was also the first woman graduate to return to the college as a faculty member. FIRST DEAN The key man behind every school is the Dean. Our school has a short list of only seven men serving in this capacity. The first dean was J. E. Burt, D.O. who guided the school through the stormy early years of its existence until 1904. I904-I905 The academic year 1904-1905 was significant in the history of the school and the entire Osteopathic profes- 19th and Spring Garden Streets— 1917-1929 136 sion in Pennsylvania. This was the year that the school moved to a large mansion at 33rd and Arch Streets, at which time the course was increased from two to three years. At the same time. Dr. Charles W. McCurdy took over as the second dean of the school. Also, this was the year in which a bill was submitted to the legislature of the State of Pennsylvania to allow the licensing of Osteopathic Physicians. Against the strong opposition of organized medicine, the bill was passed by the legis- lature only to be vetoed by the Governor. Several other attempts were made in succeeding years, but it was not until 1909 that the bill was finally enacted and Osteo- pathic Physicians were licensed to practice Osteo- pathy as taught in osteopathic colleges, in the State of Pennsylvania. During these early years, the College was financially unstable. Not being able to exist and operate on tuition payments alone, the school depended largely upon fi- nancial contributions from the faculty. INCREASED STANDARDS From 1908 until 1912 the college was housed at 715 North Broad Street. In 1911 the educational standards were raised extending the course to four years of eight months each. This move placed the College on the same basis with the other medical colleges of the State. In 1912 the College moved to 832 Pine Street where it remained until 1917. S z jcrfeA trecf A NEW ERA In 1916 a public drive was made to secure funds. With these funds, the College was able to purchase its new quarters, the Reyburn Mansion, at 19th and Spring Garden Streets. This was the first time the Col- lege had owned the building in which it was operating thus relieving the school of costly rental bills. In 1917, a hospital was built in the rear of the College building. This hospital had originally existed at 1617 Fairmount Avenue and was chartered under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania as the Osteopathic Hospital of Philadelphia. Previous to this move, the stock of the College had been acquired by the corporation controll- ing the hospital. This placed both the college and the hospital under the control of a common Board of Di- rectors. In 1918, the name was officially changed from Phil- adelphia College and Infirmary of Osteopathy to Phila- delphia College of Osteopathy. In 1922 the College purchased two additional build- ings at 1818 and 1820 Spring Garden Street. In this year, the course was again expanded, this time to four years of nine months each. Then in 1925, students who desired to practice in Pennsylvania were required to complete one year each of Chemistry, Biology and Physics of coUege grade. SCHOOL OF NURSING The School of Nursing of the Osteopathic Hospital of Philadelphia was an integrated part of the institution from 1915 to 1960. It was an officially recognized training school in the State of Pennsylvania, and upon graduation, nurses were ehgible for State Board Ex- amination for the certificate of registered nurse. 137 Anatomical disse 9th and Spring Garden St. Surgical amphitheatre, 19th and Spring Garden St. The educational program was one of the finest, as many of the instructors were members of the college faculty. In addition to service in the Osteopathic Hospital, the student nurse spent six months at Philadelphia General Hospital where she furthered her education in such specialties as Psychiatry, Pediatrics, and Neurol- ogy- The temporary suspension of the operation of the School of Nursing was indeed a great loss to our insti- tution, and we hope to see it resumed in the near fu- ture. 48TH AND SPRUCE As time went on and the growth of the College con- tinued, there was prob ably no move that was as advan- tageous as the one to 48th and Spruce Streets in 1929. Here for the first time, a building was designed and built with the needs of the College and Hospital as the principal concern. With funds obtained by a public drive and contributions of the faculty and staff, a build- ing of Gothic structure was built to house the College and Hospital and a large out-patient clinic together in one unit. This building, which won the award for the most beautiful building constructed in Philadelphia in 1929, was to be the pride of the Osteopathic profes- sion on the eastern seaboard for years to come. Due to the enlarged facilities, the College was able to graduate a greater number of students. The largest graduating class in the history of the College to date, was 96 students in the year 1958. PRE-OSTEOPATHIC SCHOOL In the year 1931, the Pre-Osteopathic School was started under the able guidance of Dr. Edgar Holden, the fifth dean. The original purpose of this school was to give additional training to qualified high school graduates before acceptance into P. C. O. Three years later, in 1934, the minimum requirement for admission to P. C. O. was increased to one full year of college work. This requirement could be filled either in the Pre- Osteopathic School or an approved liberal arts college. It was believed that the graduates of the Pre-Osteo- pathic School were better qualified to study Osteo- pathic Medicine because all subjects were presented with this objective as their ultimate goal. This school was housed at the 48th and Spruce Streets building and presented a full year of undergraduate college work including such subjects as English, Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. The students in this school received no instruction on the professional school level and upon successful completion of the year were accepted as freshmen in the medical school. The pre-Osteopathic School continued to flourish until 1937 when the mini- mum requirements for admission were increased to two years of college preparation. At one time, the college was actively engaged in an intercollegiate athletic program. As years progressed, academic pressures forced a gradual discontinuation of all intercollegiate sports. 138 DR. EDGAR O. HOLDEN Fifth Dean of P.C. O., 1925-1944. At the age of 30, he was the youngest person ever to hold this position. Dr. Holden, who presently resides in Wayne, Pa., was influ- ential in the organization of the Pre-Osteopathic and the Post Graduate Schools. In 1954, the minimum entrance requirements were increased to three full years of college work. At the present time, this three year college requirement still applies. However, it is interesting to note that in recent years, over ninety per cent of all incoming first-year students have received their bachelor degrees before enrolling in P. C. O. POST-GRADUATE SCHOOL Although there was some Post-Graduate work done well before 1933, this was the year that an organized Graduate School of Osteopathic Medicine came into existence at the College. Classes were held two days a week for ten hours a day. Some didactic subjects were presented, but the emphasis was on clinical subjects including laboratory work and ward rounds in the hos- pital. The course which was of two years duration, was organized to make it possible for Osteopathic Physi- cians to be fully licensed in the State of New Jersey. As with all growing institutions, an ever increasing need for new facilities is always present. In 1951, faced once again with an urgent need for larger clinical facil- SATELUTE HOSPITAL itics and presented with the opportunity to purchase a hospital in financial difficulty, the College again made a move forward. The Woman ' s Homeopathic Hospital of Philadelphia, founded in 1883, had once been a thriv- ing institution; but in recent years, faced by a changing neighborhood and decreasing number of staff members, was faced with mounting difficulties. With the purchase of this hospital, a vast number of clinical patients be- came available both in the hospital and out-patient clinics. This institution is now referred to as the Osteo- pathic Hospital, North Center. The Harbor Light Clinic of the Salvation Army and Embreeville State Hospital, a thirteen-hundred bed state mental institution have been added as auxiliary teaching facilities in recent years. The College at 48th and Spruce Streets as it appears today. 139 Administration Building. City Line Campus THE FUTURE As our class is rapidly approaching graduation and the future, our school is also taking strides to the fu- ture. At the present time, the College is building a 228 bed teaching-research hospital on City Line Avenue. This hospital is the first step in a vast expansion pro- gram which is unprecedented in the history of the en- tire Osteopathic Profession. If past history and present achievements are a valid indication of the future, then indeed the future of Phil- adelphia College of Osteopathy appears bright. Thomas A.

With all those samples do you think there ' s room in the bag for the money? Elliot and Joan Blau Intramural Basketball This year, the senior class added luster to their academic achievements with a bit of athletic polish. For the seniors won the interclass basketball championship by fin- ishing undefeated against taller under- graduate teams. On offense, the team was sparked by the sharp-shooting of Ruttenberg and Kilstein, the ball handling of Baker, Lakritz, and DiLiberto. The rebound de- mands were adequately met by Master, Reed, and Doherty. On defense, the team used a hustling and persistent press which demoralized their undergraduate foes. Led by the ball- hawking of Pandolfi, the seniors forced their opposition into countless errors, en- abling the team to coast easily to victory after victory. K d9 e Our Thanks To: Dean Sherwood R.

As we review the last twelve months, many events come to mind — our Saturday editorial board meetings, being waken at 6 A.M. on a Sunday morning by a special delivery package from the photographer, the tensions involved in meeting five dead- lines, and most of all, the excitement of seeing our layout ideas become a concrete reality. In an attempt to unify the book, we chose, for the first time, a theme, History of Osteopathy at P.C.O. This motif gave us the opportunity to use photographs of some of the key figures in the growth of our College on our divider pages. The special section, P.C.O. : A Historical Sketch, states the theme of the book and links the past with the present. Also new this year is the pictorial review at the beginning of the book. Here, headings and pictures have been included in our Class History to magically transform four years into a few short pages, and thus introduce the Class of 1966. Also, the Senior Section has been completely revamped in order to place more professional emphasis on the graduating senior and his accomplishments. We have made the transition to what we feel is a better layout, not only in these ways, but in others throughout the book. Our Photography Committee started from scratch to give birth to an entirely new collection of photographs. As we promised, we have tried to have every senior student represented. We hope that our efforts have produced an ex- traordinary and unparalleled Synapsis, which clearly fo- cuses on the graduating class and yet uniquely serves as a public relations vehicle for a College involved in change and growth. As is the case with any mammoth undertaking of this type, many people are responsible for the 1966 Synapsis and deserve special recognition. My personal thanks to everyone who played a part in the publication of this book. I have tried to list some of these people on page 123. I would specifically like to express my appreciation to the members of the Editorial Board, whose diligent work, even in the face of the responsibilities of the senior year, enabled us to have the book completed by March 1, 1966: Glen Kramer, who handled the photography editorship; Joe DiMino, our very talented art editor; Ralph Fishkin and Tom Swartzwelder, Managing Editors, who did an excellent job; John Doherty, a talented business manager, who handled advertising and all financial matters almost single-handed and still had time to write occasional copy and captions; Tom Quinn, who put in many hours researching and compiling our Historical Sketch; and especially my wife, Alice, without whose under- standing and editorial assistance, this book could not have been published. Let me wish all of you good luck and good health for the future in our chosen profession. May we all make P.C.O. proud of the Class of 1966. H.mM H. Michael Zal 224
