PHYSIOLOGY The fundomentols of the humon mechanism were fully delved into and clearly explained in Dr. Fisher's explicit lectures. Never was a class more at ease, or more spellbound than in the hours that this subject occupied. We all realize tha it is only after the why's and how s of the normal human body have been understood that we can appreciate the why's' and how's of a diseased organism. Dr. Fishers patient and lucid explanation, cleorly definable charts and diagrams. and practical laboratory demonstrations made the study of physiology a pleasure rather than a task. We enter into the professional world with a feeling of confidence, secure in the knowledge that our background is complete. martin fisher. G.Cp. M 0 Professor of Physiology ttAU. H. CHRIST, B.S., O.S.C. Assistant Protenor ot PWfiio-tYrerap'f PHYSIOTHERAPY The value of physio-therapy is familiar to all of us and its importance cannot be overestimated. Our knowledge of the theory, fundamentals, and our actual clinical practice in massage and medical or corrective gymnastics for the lower extremity cannot be over-stressed. We are indebted to Drs. Roppaport ond Christ for their complete lectures and dexterous demonstrations of this subject, the apparatus and uses of physical therapy modalities—galvanic, faradic. sinusoidal, diathermy, Oudin, Tesla, vibration, heliotherapy and hydrotherapy, which are but a few of the important modalities which we will use as practitioners. Our instruction as to the use of the various physical properties of heat, light, water, and electricity in the treatment of diseases and deformities of the feet will aid us in our principle—to enable man to walk in health ond comfort.

JOHN ROYAL MOORS, A.B., M.D., F.A.C.S. Professor of Chiropodiol Orthopedics IUKE JORDAN. • Mf :■ o-'k»Pld'“ tiinrmts The importonce of our study in orthopedics is second to none but chiropody. Under the expert and able guidance of Dr. Moore, assisted by Dr. Christ and Dr. Jordan, the diagnosis and treatment of all foot abnormalities were taught to us. Complete lectures on the techniques of strappings, paddings, costwork, ond brocework filled our second year; while the third and fourth years were devoted mainly to the evaluation of a complete subjective and objective examination for a comprehensive diagnosis, and the treatment of the e conditions whether they be congenital or acquired. Peripheral vascular diseases are now recognizable and any deviation from normal, either muscular, tendonous. osseous, or arthritic is easily recognized and categoried. It is in this branch of our work that the progress of chiropody is most evident. We leave with a full understanding of this subject; secure in the knowledge that we have studied and thoroughly mastered all of the known afflictions of the human foot. CHWSI. ».$■. 0 ; ....1 cw«H'w' THOMAS M. LOO AN, A.B.. Protajor of Pomology IMIHDim Since pathology is o study of the nature of disease, we may reodily reoliie its importonce, for only by o proper understanding of this subject will we. os practitioners, be enobled to moke correct diognosis of diseased conditions os compared with tissues of normol condition. Dr. Logon ond Dr. Sharpe heightened our interest in this imporfont object by giving us the fundamentals of general pathology in order thot our further work ond study in special pathology os opplied to the lower extremities reached o proper culmination. Our work in the laboratory with slides of diseased tissue micro-scopicolly exomlned, ond the lontern slides during our lectures made our course most voluoble to us for scientific diognosis in our future practice, The proficient method In which our course in pathology wos ought to us will enoble us to hove poise, confidence, ond ability in vgnostlc services for our patients.

 ... whew theie know FELTON 0. GAMBLE. D P,• Ro.o.9.ao»o9Y ROENTGENOLOGY The mostering of these three subjects over o period of three yeors wo$ one of the most importont features of our student career. In our course in Surgery, we were taught the principles of asepsis, and the cause, pathology, and treatment of infections, inflammations. all types of wounds, ond surgical techniques. A year wos devoted to our neurology lectures which proved to be one of the most absorbing studies of our curriculum. The brain, nervous system, ond neurological disturbances were discussed with all their ramifications, with emphasis placed on their relationship to the lower extremity. In our Medicine course we covered the various endocrine disturbances. vitamin deficiency diseases, ond the varied disorders to which the humon body is subjected. The value of the knowledge of these subjects cannot be stressed too highly and had it not been for the precise and brilliant didactic work which we received from Dr. Hobermon, many of us would not be so well versed in these branches of medicine. SURGERY, MEDICINE, AND NEUROLOGY The value of roentgenology to the chiropodist and to the chiro-podial profession cannot be overestimated. The diagnosis of any condition involving bones or joints, whether it be osseus changes or alignment changes, cannot be complete until we have a picture! visualization of that condition. In the two years we spent under the capable guidance of Dr. Gamble, we became fully acquainted with every aspect of this subject. Every feature of this part of our professional study was covered: the mechanics of the X-ray machine from a technical standpoint, the institution of the roentgen exposure, the various techniques used for different types of examination, the developing of the film, and the complete interpretation of the plate—both from a functional standpoint and from a disease aspect. The hours we spent in putting to practical use the theories we had learned were well worth the effort, as well as the time we devoted to poring over exposed plates—learning to distinguish one shadow from another. Without this study, we could never fully achieve any true success in the modern professional world. LEWIS K. HOBERMAN. M.D. Assistant Professor of Surgery and Neurology
