To PCOM he was a dynamic leader, able chief executive officer, outstanding medical (jducator, and c:aring employer. Dr. Rowland joined the college staff in 1950, a veteran of World War II. with service in the European Theater of Operations with the U.S. Army Air Forces, and a recent graduate of Temple University with post graduate studies in public administration. His organizational skills and tireless devotion advanced him through administrative posi- tions from registrar to executive vice president. As director of admissions, he introduced more than 2,000 men and women to membership in the osteopathic profession, served as counselor and friend to students and alumni and enthusiastically supported student activities and athletic programs. In addition he coordinated the operations of the hospitals of PCOM. In recognition of this dedicated service, PCOM conferred upon him the honorary degree of doctor of laws at the 1973 Commencement, and in 1974 he was elected PCOM ' s fourth and youngest president. His selfless efforts and courageous leadership have shaped the college ' s growth and development into The Osteopathic Medical Center of Philadelphia. To the Osteopathic profession, Dr. Rowland was a staunch supporter and determined spokesman. His belief in the osteopathic concept led him to sponsor and promote research programs involving osteopathic principles. In lectures, speeches and in his classroom, as professor of community health, he emphasized the importance of excellence in osteopathic education and the continuing practice of its art. For the advancement of the profession he PRESIDENT ROWLAND served on various committees of tiia7 ineri(:an Osleopaliiic Association and on the bcjard of (jvernors of tfie American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM). lie was a former presiflent of the AACOM. The AOA recognized his contributions by selecting him to deliver the Andrew T. Still Memorial Lecture at the 1976 convention and presented him with an award for outstanding service in 19 83. He; rtjceived other distinguished service awards from the Philadelphia County Osteopathic Society, the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, and the Pennsylvania Osteopathic General Practitioners Society, to name a few. To his fellow citizens. Dr. Rowland was a man committed to the pursuit of quality in health care, c-ducation and government. To this end he held responsible posts in civic, community health service and education organizations. He was a member of the Association of Schools of Allied Health Professions. American Public Health Association, Salvation Army Men ' s Social Service Advisory Council; and trustee of the Philadelphia Association lor Retarded Citizens, Institute for the Advancement of the Medical Sciences and chairman of the board of The Philadelphia Health Academy of the Philadelphia School System. He was a former member of the District Attorney ' s Committee on Alcoholism and Drug Addiction. He served as delegate to the past four national c:onventions of the Republican Partv, chairing the Philadelphia delegation in 1980. His many honors include the honorary.degree of doctor of science from Elizabethtown College, the State of Israel award, and awards from the American Foundation for Negro Affairs, from the Welsh Society. Northeast High School Alumni, Alumni Association of PCOM, and the O.J. Snyder Memorial Award. To all who knew him. Tom Rowland was an inspiration — a man who was not afraid to claim as his ideals hard work, discipline, patriotism, pride in tradition — a man who daily devoted his life and service to the college and profession he loved. i n. :t- .- 1 IN _J !■ ]% ' ..

I will be mindful always of my great responsibility to preserve the health and the 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 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. I 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 imputations 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 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. gJCV , k ?4 HIPPOCRATIC OATH I swear by Apollo Physician and Asclepios and Hygeia and Panacea and all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfill according to my ability and judgment this oath and this covenant: To hold him who has taught me this art as equal to my parents and to live my life in partnership with him, and if he is in need of money to give him a share of mine, and to regard his offspring as equal to my brothers in male lineage and to teach them this art — if they desire to learn it — without fee and covenant; to give a share of precepts and oral instruction and all the other learning to my sons and to the sons of him who has instructed me and to pupils who have signed the covenant and have taken an oath according to the medical law, but to no one else. I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice. I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody if asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art. I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but will withdraw in favor of such men as are engaged in this work. Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief, and in particular of sexual relations with both female and male persons, be they free or slaves. What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself, holding such things shameful to be spoken about. If I fulfill this oath and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot. (Translation by Ludwig Edelstein) %TSk , ubjcctt ' { ' tj ■i The unit is a group of 204 students who entered the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medical School devoid of medical knowledge, but swollen with restfullness, the enjoy- ment of life and the appetite for having a good time. The assemblage ventured onto two years of didactic work. They began to develop strange relationships with cadavers and found their new body scent to the Eau de le Formaldehyde. Fatigue started to overcome them though they still managed to continue to enjoy themselves. New c o lumbrosacral strain and sprain arose from the increasing amounts of class notes being carried around. Behavioral changes were noted in many as these two years went by. Fatigue became replaced by narcoleptic behavior which was unrelieved by a full night ' s sleep, sleeping in class, not going to class and or various stimulants of unknown etiology. The group proceeded onward after having full doses of such things as midterms, written finals, lab finals, oral exams and National Boards Part 1, to prove themselves on rotations during the final two years of school. The first few months caused increased difficulty for many. New stepping stones, such as the history and physical, the admission note, the admission orders and the daily progress note, had to be crossed. A new rotation would begin, and then it would end after four weeks, just when the group finally learned the layout of the hospital, where the two-by-four index cards were kept, what phones dialed out directly, and when the attending learned the names of the individual components of the unit. Every four weeks a new hospital, a new place to rest their bodies and a new address. Loss of memory, at least as far as to what town they were in, became an ever-present problem. The collection of persons developed new symptoms such as: Dyspnea on exertion — after running up nine flights of stairs to a code to find they are the hundredth person in the room, intermittent claudication — while standing around for hours waiting for rounds to start, and hypoglycemic episodes — since when rounds finally did begin they went through lunchtime. They proceeded through the thirteen scheduled rotations of their third year into the final year of their medical school education. These four-week rotations were found to be no different except that the group, now as fourth year students, were supposed to know vast amounts of medical tidbits not known the year before. Then for an indeterminate quantity of rotations, at a nameless institution, they not only had to deal with the everyday happenings in the hospital, but they now had to cope with a parking dilemma which was beyond their control. But with only eight or so months left to go this rowdy, noisy, rude, obnoxious class, as they were named by some, let this problem pass without too much squabbling. The subjects met in March for a test of their medical trivia knowledge by taking the National Boards Part II. In June the unit would undergo one final procedure. 5CH ' , AJ30LD.

' Ihe gmup started off with Anatomy and Biochemistry as their two major ohstacles. While V.T. Cipolla taught ahout the Banana Repuhliis, Dr. Kvist taught us our origins. Kmbryology. On the other hand. Dr. Notzhold guided the ranks along the microscopic pathways of Histology. Biochemistry was very cyclic in nature. Dr. Knauff was the leader, running the department, while Drs. Kline, Lin and Perringer enthusiastically taught mechanisms of carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. Dr. Machan is no longer with the team, but his gestures live on in Dr. Kerrigan ' s hands. About this same time, Dr. Bear Paws Nicholas was teaching palpatory skills, while Uncle Manny taught sexual ills. The next group to take on the challenge was Physiology. Microbiology and Neuroanatomy. Dr. DeBias led the Physiology Pharriiacology departments, ruling with honesty and fairness. Handouts and outlines provided daily made the immortal Monday exams that much more bearable, fn Microbiology, (iram positive organisms were mastered with the help of Dr. Boyer. while Dr. Iralu emphasized the importance of creepy crawly bugs and parasites. Dr. Bendas ' major emphasis was the virology of the Alutian Mink Disease. ' Neuroanatomy contributed to the already existing mass confusion. The vanishing slide act was just one side show in this three-ring circus. By the end of the semester, the class was sure they were all suffering with the |akob Creutzfeldt Disease. The second year offered the challenge of the clinical sciences, with Internal Medicine, by far, the hardest one to master. Dr. Dickerson elevated temperatures with Infectious Disease, while Dr. Kirschbaum was only one beat away in Cardiology. The FONZ taught Pulmo- nary and other important things to know: like what to do in the hallway when confronted with a TOAD! Surgery and OB-GYN kept everyone very busy, while Pediatrics with Dr. Dieterle brought out the group ' s childlike nature. Drs. Tieter, Berger and Rogers-Lomax also helped ease the growing pains throughout the semester. Drs. Kenwood and Jama shocked and traumatized, while Dr. Wynne taught the nuts and bolts of it all. Dr. Finklestein introduced us to TURPs and Dr. Greenspan showed how it all came out in the end! Other specialties were conquered, like Rehab, Derm, and Ophthalmology — only to face Dr. Graham in Neurology. An endless slew of neurological diseases overcame the group. Thank goodness none of them left with a facial droop. The group conquered all the academic and clinical obstacles placed before them. They now have vast amounts of medical knowledge deep within their beings — just waiting to be utilized. Thanks to the faculty and administration, the Class of 1984 can be proud to be Osteopathic Physicians! if ' « THi: SUPEEIOR COURT OF PENNSYT.VANXA. JUDGE ' S CHAMBERS May 18, 1984 Dear Class of 1984: You have attained outstanding achievements during the most traumatic year in the history of PCOM. The loss of our beloved President, Thomas M. Rowland, seriously affected the lives of all those in the PCOM family. Although each of us felt personally bereaved, for you — the Class of 1984 — his life will always hold a most singular significance. Tom Rowland, through his dedication to and love for our institution, provided an atmosphere of learning and a climate of professionalism. He set a standard of excellence that has become our hallmark. As the last ' class to have experienced almost four years under his banner of integrity and decency, you have been the fortunate recipients of this legacy. We share a special pride in your accomplishments, knowing that you have become physicians in the finest sense — outstanding doctors as well as sincere and dedicated humanitarians. The Board of Trustees congratulates you and wishes you good luck and happiness in all your future endeavors. Sincerely rd of Trustees Vou have successfully completed one o the most rigorous and demanding programs in medical education - that of osteopathic medi- cine at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. You have earned the degree Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.) and the privilege and right to be called Osteopathic Physicians. I am very proud to welcome you as members of our Profession and as alumni of PCOM. You have been a conscientious and dedicated Class. You have persevered in spite of major changes that could have significantly affected your education, postdoctoral studies, and the future nature of the practice of osteopathic medicine. I am confident, after the past four years, that you have the determination, patience, industry, basic knowledge, intelligence, and practical experiences that will assure adaptability and success. The future of our Profession is bright. Thank you for the Class Gift which expressed the respect and love we all had for Dr. Thomas M. Rowland, Jr. who served so well as President into your senior year. This display will stand through the years as a tribute to this tremendous leader? and it is most ap- propriate that it was given by the Class of 1984, since he was indeed a Friend of Students. We appreciate this tribute. PCOM and my Office will continue to be open to you and to serve you in the future. Call for assistance. Come back for excellent Continuing Medical Education Programs. Take an active interest in the PCOM Alumni Association and Profession. I shall follow you and your careers with great interest. Many will be community and professional leaders. You will serve well as you apply osteopathic principles and philosophy in the care of your patients. Best wishes to each member of the Class of 1984.

And the world makes you King for a day, Just go to the mirror and look at yourself And see what that man has to say. It isn ' t your father or mother or wife Whose judgement upon you must pass, The one whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one staring back in the glass. He ' s the one you must satisfy beyond all the rest, For he ' s with you right up to the end; And you have passed your most difficult test If the man in the glass is your friend! You may be one who got a good break — Then think you ' re a wonderful guy; But the man in the glass says you ' re only a fake If you can ' t look him straight in the eye. You may fool the whole world down your pathway of years. And get pats on the back as you pass; But your final reward will be heartaches and tears If you ' ve cheated the Man in the Glass! by Dale Wimbrow LEONARD M. EVANS, D.O.

METROPOLITAN GENERAL HOSPITAL PINELLAS PARK, FLORIDA My Prayer As I Leave PCOM: What happened to your church, Lord Jesus? Nearly two thousand years have come and gone And where have we, your Body , come to? More Christians, to be sure, than ever before. But what kind of Christians are we, Fightins among ourselves. Squabbling over property and propriety. Competing in these wordly games — Success, statistics, marketing, publicity — Securing the solid walls of our own fortresses While your lost children live in hovels And know squalor and disease? Grant me a glimpse today. Lord, of your own vision. Let me see, within this vast and worldy institution, The many branches of your tree of life. The multitude of quiet deeds of love Known only to the two or three, and to You, The clumsy, yet still effective generosity That even yet can mend a wound, relieve a pain. Comfort human sorrow, and work to free the captives. Remind me Father, of that great host Of ordinary men and women Who labor here and there, in high places and low, Not necessarily to bring in the kingdom, But to share at least a taste Of the grace, the hope, the promise they have received. And teach me not to chafe impatiently. But instead to try to number my own life With those who play their part. And in playing it give thanks. — Amen From A Diary of Prayer by J.

Hopefully this yearbook will help capture those memories. These last few years of working on the yearbook would not have been quite so bearable if it wasn ' t for the support and enthusiasm of many people. My sincere thanks to Carol Fox, Maggie Ferguson, Walt Webb, Corporate Com- munications and of course Donna Frabotta of Merin Stu- dios. Deepest appreciation goes to Lori for her help with the yearbook theme and advertisements; Deb, for her un- ending hours working on the senior section and overall support; Walter, for his vibrant creative photographic and layout techniques. I cannot forget those members of our class who enthusiastically attended the yearbook meet- ings every Thursday evening — your assistance and ideas helped make this yearbook that much more meaningful. I hope all of you will enjoy leafing through the yearbook — but be sure you go back and look at it a few more times. There ' s alot you may have missed the first time around. BEST OF LUCK!!! May you and your choosen field of medicine be as successful as you have dreamed. I ' m a PCOM student — I sit in Radiology, The X-ray that you just put up there — requires an answer from me, I could attempt to give an answer — but I ' m afraid of what I ' d say. Please Oh Please just let me sing — and next week I will answer, R-A-D-I-O-ology!!! Each week I really get nervous — I clutch my Meschan very close, I know my picture will soon appear — along with some fingers and toes, The clock is ticking past the hour — when ZAP! you shouted out my name. Please Oh Please just let me sing — and next week I will answer, R-A-D-I-O-ology!!! (Sung to the tune of I ' m a Yankee-Doodle Dandy .) The Class of 1984 said good-bye to 48th Street . They were the last class to utilize this institution. 48th STREET — Gothic portals give one a feeling of continuing western intellectualism. V.T.
