I dm very proud and pleased to be able to extend tho best wishes possible to the Class of 1967. You, moro than any other class, really exemplify commencement. A new era is startod with you, tho first class of a new college which has tried to prepare you for entrance into the profession of Podiatry. You are also the first class to graduate as Podiatrists in Pennsylvania since I960. Graduation does not mean an end to learning: it must continue, for Podiatry cannot stand still; it must progress. Now you can reach out for that ethereal dream called success. Think carefully when you plan your journey as to your definition of success. There are so many different thoughts as to what succoss really is that only you individually can decide on your objective. I sincerely hope that you will reach your goal and that as you journey towards it; you will enrich tho profession of Podiatry. My association with you for the last four years has indicated that the profession will be benefited by your entrance into it, and I trust that each of you will become active in your local and state societies. There is great need for you in the state societies as well as in the American Podiatry Association and one is a stopping stone to the other. By devoting some of your time to these activities, you will aid the progress of Podiatry in the future. Don't rely on the other fellow, and let your aim be high. Obstacles will doubtless be encountered in your future, and when these appear, try to overcome them by honest consultation with your new colleagues, practicing Podiatrists, who will bo able to aid you with their past experiences. Remember, To thine own self bo true, thou canst not then be false to any man. 4th YEAR ADVISOR PROFESSOR OF ANATOMY G. ELMER HARFORD. D.S.C. PODIATRY FACES THE FUTURE What are we? Who ore we? Where ore we going? These ore tome of the questions that ore rapidly being answered by tho Podialric profession. We ore o relatively new member of the health science team and a very small group when compared to the number of physicians and dentists in this country. What ore we? We ore the specialists who examine, diagnose, and treat diseases and disorders of the foot. This it a broad statement which envelops almost every medical specialty: PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASE, RHEUMATOLOGY. ORTHOPEDICS, RAOIOLOGY, SURGERY, PODOPEDIATRICS. INTERNAL MEDICINE, DERMATOLOGY, and mony more. We are members of a specialty which brings together many medical fields. Who arc we? We ore those dedicated to the specialty of Podiatry. To practice this profession, we have completed a curriculum which encompasses the study of nearly all medical specialties. We are dedicated to the treatment of the lower extremities. Where ore we going? We ore rapidly heoding toward our goal, and that is to be the authority on foot deformities and diseases. We are getting Federal legislation to subsidize our students, schools and libraries. We are now included in medical insurance programs throughout the country and are being commissioned by the armed services. The need for podiotric services is just beginning to be felt. Our population is becoming a society composed of a large number of the aged. The need here is so great thol the Federal Government is seeking to include podiotric services in Medicare. Foot disorders ore not only a geriatric entity; they are common in pediatric palionts, adolescents, and adults. A specialty board in Podiotric surgery has been established and residency programs in surgery ore being Initiated. To be eligible for a surgical residency, a graduate will first have to complete a rotating internship. Yes, we are moving and moving rapidly. The need for more Podiatrists throughout tho country cannot be filled with such a limited number of practitioners. Wo need bigger schools to accommodate our bulging freshman classes. Research Is vitally needed. Since we are trained specialists in Podiotric medicine, we must begin research projects and odd our contributions to medicol literature. We aro indeed tho new breed. Most of us have completed at least seven years of education by the time we graduate. A large percentage of our Podiatry students have college degrees. With this background, our qualifications will enable us to carry the Podiotric profession to horizons awaiting us. Yes, Podiatry is facing the future. 6

FUTURE P.C.P. has dramatic plans for expansion ovor the next few years. The College has recently been recommended by the National Advisory Committee, established under the Health Professions Act of 1965. for a $1,400,000 Federal Expansion Grant. It is planned that work on this project will begin in late spring of 1968. Plans includo an out-patient clinic, fully equipped, with sixty-four stations, administrative offices, a modern library housing 55,000 volumes, a modular laboratory for teaching of the basic sciences, an auditorium, faculty offices and conference rooms, seminar rooms, outpatient surgical suite and student lounge areas. The application includes equipment for the various laboratories. clinics and offices and, when completed, should bring the College up to date in keeping with national educational standards. Plans are currently being developed to provide housing for students and College personnel. The College is projecting a building with one hundred apartment-type units; some would be efficiency-type apartments. others would be one bedroom apartments, and a few would be two bedroom apartments. Negotiations are currently under way to obtain ground near the school for this use. Future plans for the College also include the establishment of an in-patient facility which will be given serious consideration over the next year. Also, as the College adds more full-time, research-oriented faculty members, plans are being made to develop a research center which would provide facilities for basic research as well as clinical research. Most important, it would provide adequate facilities and personnel in the foot care — foot wear field. Tho projected student body, with the new facilities as mentioned earlier, would consist of sixty-four students per year or a total of two hundred and fifty-six. It is the hope of the administration of the College that the student body, the alumni, and the profession will become deeply interested and involved in this expansion program and that our plans will meet with the approval of all these individuals.
