DR.  EDGAR  O.  HOLDEN 


FAREWELL   TO   DEAN  HOLDEN 


After  nineteen  years  as  Dean  of  the  College  of  Osteopathy,  the 
pressure  of  ill-health  and  a  desire  to  devote  his  entire  time  to  his  private 
practice  has  forced  Dr.  Edgar  O.  Holden  to  resign. 

Dr.  Holden  graduated  from  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  in  1916 
and  in  1922  became  a  graduate  of  the  Osteopathic  College. 

In  1924,  Dr.  Holden  became  Dean  and  immediately  plunged  himself 
into  educational  work.  For  many  years  in  addition  to  his  work  as  Dean, 
he  served  as  Superintendent  of  the  Osteopathic  Hospital,  Chairman  of 
the  Board  of  Osteopathic  Hospitals  and  also  as  National  Hospital  Inspec- 
tor of  the  American  Osteopathic  Association. 

In  recognition  of  his  nationally  known  work  as  author,  lecturer  and 
educator,  Dr.  Holden  was  given  the  Degree  of  Doctor  of  Letters  by  the 
College  in   1940. 

To  Dean  Holden,  we  say  good  luck,  good  health  and  thanks  for 
a  good  job,  well  done.

GREETINGS  TO  THE  STUDENTS  OF    P.C.O. 


With  the  closing  of  the  current  year,  P.C.O.  will  have  rounded  out 
forty-five  years  of  teaching  of  the  Osteopathic  philosophy  and  my  own 
private  practice  of  that  art  and  science  parallels  this  period.  I,  accord- 
ingly, feel  that  I  may  be  justified  by  virtue  of  my  long  experience  in 
practice,  in  assuring  you  of  a  sense  of  security  in  the  choice  of  your 
prospective  profession. 

Forty-five  years  is  a  long  time  in  the  pursuit  of  one  following  or 
service.  But  it  is  not  too  long  if  one  seeks  to  acquaint  himself  with  the 
possibilities  of  an  unfolding  and  evolving  science  or  engagement.  Every 
day  new  problems  and  involvements  present  themselves  especially  in  the 
therapeutic  field  and  if  you  are  conscientious  and  sincere  in  solving  them 
you  will  become  more  and  more  proficient  in  your  service  and  correspond- 
ingly more  and  more  a  blessing  to  humanity. 

And  to  all  of  you  who  are  conscientiously  convinced  that  the  great- 
est therapeutic  truth  lies  in  the  Osteopathic  philosophy,  to  you  I  say 
persevere  to  the  end.  Our  Osteopathic  Colleges  have  achieved  a  high 
degree  of  educational  efficiency  and  I  am  pleased  to  advise  you  that  a 
survey  of  the  remuneration  of  the  physicians  of  the  several  schools  of 
therapy  shows  that  the  Osteopathic  physicians'  average  from  practice 
overtops  the  emolument  of  all  others  by  2  5  to  50  percent. 

Always  keep  in  mind  that  the  Osteopathic  philosophy  is  founded 
upon  the  biological  axiom  that  normal  physiological  life  represents  bio- 
logical cell  response  to  normal  environment  conditions;  that  disease  repre- 
sents biological  cell  response  to  abnormal  environmental  conditions;  there- 
fore the  cure  of  disease  is  to  restore  and  the  prevention  of  disease  is  to 
maintain  normal  cell  environment.  Also  please  remember  that  the  Osteo- 
pathic therapeutic  procedure  embraces  all  such  practices  as  help  to  restore 
normality  without  impairing  vitality. 

Students  of  the  P.C.O., — I  salute  you.  I  congratulate  you  on  your 
choice  of  profession.  I  wish  you  Godspeed.  After  forty-five  years  of 
experience,  and  if  I  were  to  live  my  life  over  again,  I  would  again  choose 
to  be  an  Osteopathic  Physician. 

Sincerely  Yours, 

Co-founder  Dr.  O.  J.  Snyder.

When  We  Were  Freshmen 

In  September  of  1941,  our  class  assembled  at  the  college.  We  were 
enthusiastic,  full  of  ambition,  and  our  one  constant  thought  revolved 
about  the  question  "What  is  Osteopathy  all  about?"  Within  a  few  days 
we  began  to  learn  the  answer,  and  we  became  occupied  with  our  study 
of  Anatomy,  Physiology,  Chemistry,  and  our  Freshman  Year  was  well 
under  way. 

The  frogs  and  turtles  in  the  Physiology  laboratory,  we  found  quite 
intriguing,  especially  when  we  tried  to  obtain  kymographic  tracings 
which  were  acceptable,  and  we  were  constantly  being  amazed  at  how 
much  Anatomy  one  could  forget  over-night.  Each  bone  just  seemed  to 
have  too  many  borders  and  surfaces  to  remember!  One  thing  we  all  could 
retain  was  that  Fletman  was  using  a  Tenth  Edition  of  Grays'  when  all 
of  us  were  using  the  Twenty-third. 

We  found  Dr.  Moody  quite  an  interesting  instructor  in  Embryology 
and  Parasitology,  although  we  frequently  failed  to  comprehend  the  intri- 
cate details  he  presented.  Who  will  ever  forget  his  vivid  description  of 
the  "dive-bomber"  tactics  of  the  Bed-bug? 

Then  came  December  7,  1941.  The  rape  of  Pearl  Harbor  impressed 
upon  us  the  necessity  for  studying  more  assiduously  than  ever,  and  just 
a  short  time  was  to  elapse  before  we  learned  that  the  Philadelphia  Col- 
lege of  Osteopathy  was  on  a  speeded-up  curriculum  in  the  interests  of 
national  welfare   and   defense. 

Our  odd  moments  between  classes,  we  spent  trying  to  dodge  a 
certain  notorious  cigarette  chisler,  "Waxy".  Barron,  Krieger,  Carr, 
Mayer  and  Gagliano  left  us  to  enter  the  Armed  Forces.  The  remainder 
of  the  class  struggled  on  until  before  we  realized  it  "Final  Exams"  were 
on  hand;  after  the  two-week  long  battle  we  emerged  victorious  but  a 
little  tired,  sleepy  and  irritable. 

A  recess  of  a  few  days,  and  we  found  ourselves,  with  a  few  excep- 
tions, on  the  Sophomore  Class  roll-call. 

C.  L. 


Sophomore  Year 

Little  did  we  realize  when  we  began  our  second  year  the  many  diffi- 
culties which  were  to  confront  us.  We  heard  rumors  from  the  upper- 
classmen  about  "how  tough"  it  would  be,  but  we  were  not  convinced 
until  we  found  ourselves  in  the  midst  of  constant  worries  and  troubles. 

Our  curriculum  was  filled  to  overflowing  with  difficult  courses.  The 
warm  Summer  weather  was  not  too  conducive  to  studying,  and  the  mos- 
quitoes would  not  permit  us  to  sleep  at  night.  Everyone  was  looking  for- 
ward to  the  time  when  cooler  weather  would  come  to  Philadelphia. 

There  were  some  pleasant  moments,  however,  in  this  second  year 
too.  One  of  these  was  associated  with  a  Class  Show  and  Dance  known  as 
FUNZAHOPPIN',  directed  and  produced  by  Charlie  Lodowski  and  Cy 
Cohen.  The  show  consisted  of  a  well  presented  and  censored  burlesque 
of  life  at  P. CO.  We  were  pleasantly  surprised  as  well  as  amazed  at  the 
amount  of  talent  we  had  in  our  class.  The  Class  Glee  Club  offered  sev- 
eral fine  tunes  some  of  which  will  always  live  in  our  memory.  Who  has 
forgotten  "Missouri  Waltz".  "Tell  Me  Why",  "Cannibal  King"?  Like- 
wise who  will  forget  Goldinger  as  "Dr.  Herb,"  Josephson  as  "Elsie,"  Fish- 
man  as  "Mr.  Scatterlee",  Ulanski's  fireworks  and  LaCavera's  portable  OMT 
unit? 

Another  big  moment  in  our  lives  as  Sophomores  occurred  on  the  day 
when  we  began  Clinic  Service.  We  were  only  assistants,  of  course,  but 
it  did  swell  our  personal  pride  so  pleasantly  to  enter  the  clinic  with  our 
white  coats,  our  bags,  and  the  greeting  of  "Hello,  Doctor"  from  the  pa- 
tients and  our  fellow  classmen. 

Then  again  come  the  black  shadow  of  final  exams.  We  stayed  up  'til 
the  wee  hours  of  the  morning  during  these  days  and  lo  and  behold,  we  had 
completed  our  Basic  Science  Training  and  another  school  year.

the  right  to  wander  and  observe,  which  he  does.

SYNAPSIS    1944 


Junior  Year 


April  1943  was  the  date  of  a  turning-point  in  our  school  careers.  It 
marked  the  beginning  of  real  all-out  clinical  training  and  experience  in 
contrast  to  the  previous  didactic  training.  We  were  now  spending  our 
time  with  the  techniques  of  Osteopathic  Manipulation,  Bedside  Technique, 
Pediatric   Feeding   Schedules   and   the  principles  of   management   of  disease. 

Pediatrics  clinic  was  a  very  interesting  and  wonderful  part  of  our 
eduction.  It  was  a  great  thrill  for  us  to  see  the  little  tots  grow  and  thrive 
under  our  care,  and  it  made  us  feel  happy  to  know  that  we  could  he  of  help. 

Then  came  the  big  day  that  all  of  us  were  waiting  for,  .  .  .  our 
first  day  as  Student  Internes  in  the  Hospital.  All  of  us  had  heard  at  some 
time  or  other  that  it  was  a  hard  thankless  job  and  had  also  heard  the  adage, 
"vou  get  out  of  it  just  what  you  put  into  it."  We  were  willing  to  take 
our  chances,  and  lo  and  behold,  we  found  that  the  student  internship  was 
a  mass  of  interesting,  valuable  and  educational  experience  just  waiting  for 
one  to  adopt  it.  Of  course,  there  were  times  when  we  did  become  dis- 
couraged, but  it  was  well  worth  the  trouble. 

This  year  went  by  very  rapidly,  and  before  we  knew  it,  we  were  on 
our  way  to  the  Junior  Prom  at  the  Stephen  Girard  Hotel.  There  was  a 
happy  crowd  of  persons  at  this  affair,  and  as  we  looked  about  we  could 
see  the  Seniors  who  were  about  to  graduate  and  who  were  passing  the  torch 
of  knowledge  on  to  our  class  to  foster  for  the  coming  year.  We  ourselves 
were  on  the  home  stretch,  at  last.

Senior  Year 

We  began  our  school  year  at  the  time  when  many  cases  of  Pneumonia 
were  breaking  out  in  the  vicinity  of  Philadelphia.  This  stimulated  us  to 
further  study  of  such  condition  and  it  afforded  us  the  opportunites  of 
seeing  these  cases,  studying  the  X-Ray  findings  and  watching  the  progress 
of  the  conditions  under  the  therapeutic  regime  in  the  Hospital. 

Our  afternoon  classes  and  laboratories  were  now  things  of  the  past.  In- 
stead, we  spent  our  time  in  the  special  clinics  and  we  had  many  opportunities 
to  invoke  our  knowledge  in  treating  cases  under  supervision. 

Very  shortly  our  thoughts  turned  to  Hospital  Internship,  Comprehensive 
Exams,  State  Boards  and  Graduation.  All  of  us  were  convinced  of  the 
great  value  of  internship  and  graduate  study,  and  by  the  time  this  has 
reached  the  press,  practically  all  of  our  class  will  have  received  various  ap- 
pointments towards  the  end  of  further  study  and  training. 

And  so,  we  close  the  history  of  the  class  of  October,  1944,  the  first 
class  to  have  graduated  from  P.  C.  O.  under  the  speeded  up  curriculum  oc- 
casioned by  the  National  Emergency  which  flared  upon  that  fateful  day, 
December   7,    1941.

The  Roll  of  the  Student  in  the  Administration 
Of  Continuous  Caudal  Analgesia 

During  the  past  year,  continuous  caudal  analgesia  has  played  an  im- 
portant part  in  the  management  of  the  obstetrical  patient  in  our  insti- 
tution. 

The  use  of  this  method  of  painless  childbirth,  in  our  hands,  has  met 
with  phenomenal  success  up  to  the  present  time. 

The  student  physicians  in  our  institution  are  privileged  to  witness 
and  assist  in  this  procedure,  under  expert  supervision.  This  is  an  oppor- 
tunity not  given  many  students  of  other  schools  at  the  present  time. 

No  small  measure  of  credit  is  due  to  student  physicians  who  share 
the  responsibility  of  "running  a  caudal"  on  our  obstetrical  patients. 

When  the  student  reports  for  duty  on  the  maternity  floor,  he  re- 
ceives adequate  instruction  in  the  anatomy,  physiology,  and  pharmacology 
relative  to  this  method  of  obstetrical  analgesia,  along  with  his  general 
obstetrical  instruction. 

He  is  present  at  the  time  of  the  caudal  induction,  and  from  this  time 
on  stays  with  the  patient,  checking  the  levels  of  analgesia  and  assisting 
in  the  administration  of  fractional  doses  when  required  to  maintain  these 
levels.  His  also  is  the  job  of  keeping  the  patient's  mental  attitude  happy 
and  her  mind  free  from  alarm  during  the  sometimes  lengthy  period  of 
analgesia. 

I  believe  that  the  primary  reason  for  our  hospital's  extraordinary 
success  with  this  dramatic  method  of  pain  relief  is  the  excellent  job  that 
the  student  physician  is  doing  today.

Student  Internes 

For  twelve  weeks  during  his  Junior  and  Senior  years,  the  student  has 
an  opportunity  to  work  in  the  Osteopathic  Hospital  as  an  under-graduate 
interne.  His  service  is  divided  into  two  six-week  periods,  with  a  rotating 
service  on  the  Osteopathic,  Obstetrical  and  Surgical  floors.  He  is  assign- 
ed individual  patients  and  it  is  his  responsibility  to  give  the  osteopathic 
manipulative  treatments  as  ordered  and  under  the  supervision  of  the 
Resident  Staff.  Each  case  is  followed  through  from  the  time  of  admis- 
sion until  the  patient  is  discharged.  During  this  time,  opportunity  is  given 
for  the  student  interne  to  study  case  histories,  observe  and  assist  in  various 
diagnostic  and  therapeutic  procedures  and  generally  become  familiar  with 
the  case  of  the  acutely  ill  patient.  Unusual  cases  are  demonstrated  by  the 
Resident  Staff  and  weekly  classes  are  held  for  case  history  discussion  and 
instruction  in  hospital  procedures. 

Osteopathic  technique  and  minor  surgical  procedures  are  demon- 
strated in  special  hospital  class  rooms  with  the  use  of  hospital  beds,  manne- 
quins, and  bedside  equipment.  Obstetrical  mannequins  are  used  in  teach- 
ing positions  for  delivery  and  the  student  learns  to  "scrub"  and  assist  in 
the  operating  room.  Diagnosis  is  stressed  with  the  use  of  case  histories, 
physical  and  laboratory  findings,  roentgen  films,  pathological  specimens 
and  autopsy  findings. 

This  is  the  time  when  the  student  begins  to  develop  a  sense  of  bed- 
side manners  and  professional  etiquette.  It  has  been  said  that  an  adequate 
basic  training  plus  stimulating  professional  environment,  starts  a  man 
well  in  his  chosen  career.  It  may  be  said  of  our  "student  internes"  that 
given  a  good  basic  training  on  the  "college  side" — and  a  white  coat, 
several  patients  and  a  period  of  intensive  hospital  training,  they  emerge 
as  more  capable  and  confident  professional  men,  reflecting  credit  to  theii 
Osteopathic  Institution.

The  Clinic  Doctor 

The  man  in  white  passes  through  the  corridor,  the  patients  wonder 
if  this  distinguished  individual  will  be  their  physician  while  the  lower 
classmen  questioned  their  ability  to  attain  such  an  enviable  position.  They 
note  the  doctor's  bag  and  the  cherished  stethoscope  poking  from  the  rear 
trouser  pocket. 

There  are  many,  many  nights  of  study  for  the  freshman  but  all  is 
considered  worthwhile  when,  at  the  commencement  of  the  second  sopho- 
more semester,  this  not-so  green  student  dons  his  newly  starched  coat, 
picks  up  the  beloved  stethoscope  and  struts  past  the  waiting  patients  in 
the  clinic.  This  is  an  observation  period  in  which  it  is  necessary  to  learn 
the  routine  of  referring  patients,  making  appointments  and  escorting  pa- 
tients to  the  blood  count  laboratory. 

When  sufficient  time  has  elapsed,  this  progressive  individual  becomes 
a  booth  physician  and  is  assigned  an  assistant  who  in  turn  observes. 
The  booth  physician  is  given  a  list  of  patients  whom  he  treats  to  the 
best  of  his  ability.  This  work  is  done  under  the  supervision  of  Staff  doc- 
tors. Physical  examinations  are  given  and  histories  are  taken.  It  is  in 
this  way  that  the  student  doctor  formulates  ideas  and  a  routine  which 
will  play  a  significant  part  in  his  own  practice. 

When  the  student  reaches  the  senior  year,  he  is  permitted  to  work 
in  the  special  clinics  under  careful  supervision.  These  special  clinics  have 
much  to  offer  and  the  up-and-coming  young  doctor  will  seize  every  op- 
portunity to  avail  himself  of  additional  practice  and  knowledge. 


Historical  Sketch  of  the  College 

The  history  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Osteopathy  dates  back  to  the 
earliest  part  of  the  year  189S  when  Dr.  O.  J.  Snydei  and  Dr.  Mason  W. 
Priestley,  in  conjunction  with  a  Mr.  Riley,  met  to  discuss  the  necessity  and 
desirability  of  establishing  an  Osteopathy  College  in  the  City  of  Phila- 
delphia. They  gave  unsparingly  of  their  time  and  labor  in  surmounting 
the  many  and  difficult  problems  that  confronted  them  in  formulating  the 
necessary  plans  of  organization  and  personnel.  They  wisely  decided  to 
secure  the  services  of  the  best  instructors  obtainable  and  likewise  to  en- 
deavor to  obtain  a  suitable  and  central  location.  The  new  institution  was 
incorporated  under  the  laws  of  the  State  of  New  Jersey,  as  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Osteopathv  and  Infirmary,  and  was  formally  opened  on  January 
27,  1899.  The  first  college  occupied  two  rooms  in  the  Stephan  Girard 
Building,  Twelfth  above  Chestnut.  Later  that  year  for  the  need  of  more 
room,  the  College  moved  to  the  Witherspoon  Building  at  Juniper  and 
Walnut.  Here  the  first  chemistry  and  biology  laboratories  were  installed 
and  equipped  to  fill  the  need  of  the  course.  In  addition,  Dr.  Snyder  pur- 
chased anatomical  equipment,  in  the  form  of  manikins,  charts,  and  skeletons, 
etc.  It  was  by  the  use  of  these  that  Dr.  Snyder  planned  to  make  the  course 
as  practical  as  possible,  supplementary  to  the  didactic  work  with  laboratory 
experimentation  and   the  study  of  anatomical  specimens. 

Again  the  college  moved  due  to  an  increase  in  the  size  of  the  student 
body.  This  time  to  Thirty-third  and  Arch  Streets.  As  the  enrollment 
increased  so  increased  the  teaching  personnel.  It  was  but  a  short  time 
when  the  school  was  located  at  715  N.  Broad  street  and  it  was  found  there 
from  1907  to  1911.  Then  in  1911,  it  was  found  at  832  Pine  street  and 
the  students  made  their  headquarters  at  this  spot  for  the  next  six  years. 
In  1917,  former  Mayor  Reyburn's  home  on  the  southeast  corner  of  19th  and 
Spring  Garden  Street  found  the  presence  of  future  osteopathic  physicians. 
In  the  year  1918,  the  name  changed  to  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Osteop- 
athy. As  the  school  increased,  there  was  an  increase  in  the  buildings  and 
in  1922  the  two  adjoining  buildings  at  1818-20  Spring  Garden  Street 
formed  an  annex. 

The  next  move  was  made  in  1929  and  this  location  was  found  at  48th  and 
Spruce  Streets.  The  new  building  contained  the  college,  hospital  and  clinic. 
This  happens  to  be  permanent  because  plans  for  enlarging  are  underway 
at  the  present  time.  The  Philadelphia  College  and  Hospital  keeps  building 
up  osteopathy. 


The  Anatomy  Museum 

The  continued  increase  in  the  number  of  museum  specimens  produced  is 
one  way  of  saying  that  the  college  is  in  possession  of  a  more  complete  collec- 
tion of  teaching  aids  than  was  the  case  when  the  last  Synapsis  was  pub- 
lished. Since  the  first  of  June,  three  and  one-half  months  ago,  one  hun- 
dred and  forty-two  new  specimens  have  been  added,  nevertheless  only  a 
modest  start  has  been  made  upon  the  plans  for  building  a  museum  that 
will  facilitate  modern  teaching  methods  for  the  benefit  of  both  graduate 
and  undergraduate. 

Only  in  so  far  as  a  museum  keeps  abreast  of  professional  advancement 
can  it  serve  by  giving  satisfactory  anatomical  instruction.  Too  many  muse- 
ums become  none  too  good  "Old  Curiosity  Shops"  diffusing  a  dusty  atmos- 
phere of  dampness  and  gloom  with  a  moderate  amount  of  mold.  Their 
usefulness  is  strictly  limited.  The  proper  display  of  carefully  prepared 
and  clearly  marked  pieces  assembled  for  the  sole  purpose  of  aiding  those 
who  seek  to  learn  should  be  the  aim  of  any  professional  museum.  It  should 
be  of  assistance  in  helping  the  student  learn  the  body  instead  of  the  book. 

Restrictions  placed  upon  us  by  the  war  have  prevented  the  installation 
of  additional  museum  cases.  The  return  of  normal  times  will  remedy  this 
difficulty. 

Plans  for  museum  displays  call  for  the  exhibition  of  the  normal,  the 
variations  within  normal  range,  and  the  abnormal.  A  fourth  and  relatively 
new  idea  for  anatomical  museums  will  be  a  division  of  applied  anatomy 
where  specimens  will  be  marked  to  indicate  points  of  clinical  importance.  Dis- 
plays in  this  division  will  be  subject  to  such  frequent  changes  as  will  be  in 
keeping  with  subject  material  being  taught  graduate  and  undergraduate 
students. 

Several  organizations  have  already  called  upon  the  Department  of  Anat- 
omy to  exhibit  a  collection  of  anatomical  specimens  and  graduate  physicians 
have  visited  the  museum  with  requests  to  see  specific  studies.  It  is  in 
such  wavs  that  the  Department  can  be  of  assistance  to  the  osteopathic 
profession   at   large.

Education  and  the  War 

"Wars,  conflagrations  and  deluges  destroy  nations,  and  with  them 
all  their  monuments,  their  discoveries,  and  their  vanities.  The  torch  of 
science  has  more  than  once  been  extinguished  and  rekindled — a  few  indi- 
viduals, who  have  escaped  by  accident,  reunite  the  thread  of  generations." 
This  sounds  like  the  optomism  of  Winston  Churchill,  but  it  is  not;  these 
are  the  words  of  Aristotle  spoken  more  than  two  thousand  years  ago.  At 
least  one  who  calls  himself  Diedrich  Knickerbocker  tells  us  so. 

History  repeats  itself.  Indeed,  history  repeats  with  a  difference! 
Thank  a  Divine  Providence  for  "the  difference."  We  have  every  reason 
to  believe,  now  as  this  war  draws  to  a  close,  that  our  nation  will  escape 
destruction.  Our  educational  system,  however,  has  been  profoundly  dis- 
turbed. The  impact  of  war  has  dislocated  both  students  and  faculties  and 
it  is  most  difficult  to  predict  how  long  it  will  take  to  rehabilitate  them. 

The  accelerated  program  has  been  the  "noble  experiment"  of  educa- 
tion in  this  war.  The  telescoping  of  curricula  into  fewer  calendar  years 
yet  trying  to  maintain  academic  content  has  been  the  objective.  How 
well  this  has  been  accomplished  time  alone  will  tell.  The  inevitable  fa- 
tigue of  such  a  program  has  brought  about  great  aggitation  for  its  discon- 
tinuance. That  a  somewhat  modified  accelerated  program  is  apt  to  con- 
tinue for  considerable  time  to  come  is  no  shrewd  guess. 

Remarkably  short  term  programs  of  specialized  training  have  intro- 
duced a  new  technique  in  education.  Though  frowned  upon  by  educators 
these  efforts  seem  to  have  served  and  satisfied  a  great  and  pressing  need. 
There  can  be  no  doubt  that  it  will  require  the  wisdom  of  a  Solomon  to 
rationalize  and  evaluate  these  programs  during  the  rehabilitation  period. 
Their  full  impact  on  traditional  education  has  not  yet  been  felt. 

Each  modern  war  has  unearthed  a  wealth  of  useful  knowledge.  In 
medical  science  this  is  particularly  and  peculiarly  true.  It  is  regretable 
that  it  requires  a  war  to  serve  this  end  but  the  war  has  been  upon  us.  Let 
us  now  seek  diligently  to  utilize  this  knowledge  to  the  greatest  advan- 
tage of  all  mankind.

ALBERT  CLEMENT  SHERMAN,  Ph.  G. 

deceased  January  29,  1944 

Associate  in  Chemistry 

from 

January  1942 January  1944 

Erected  by  the  Student  Body 
In  recognition  of  his  unselfish  devotion 
to  their  welfare 


was  presented  to  Mr.  Sherman's  brother  on  September  20th,  1944  in  an 
assembly  at  the  college  auditorium.  The  Student  body  made  this  possible  by 
their  generous  donations.  Also  presented  at  this  time  was  a  set  of  books  to  be 
used  for  the  Chemistry  Classes. 


Fishman:      'I  won't  be  highbrow  beaten." 


Dr.  William  Osier,  having  been  invited  to  inspect  a  famous  London 
hospital,  was  proudly  shown  about  by  several  physicians  and  surgeons. 
Finally  the  charts  were  reached,  and  he  looked  them  over  carefully,  observ- 
ing the  system  of  abbreviations:  SF  for  scarlet  fever,  TB  for  tuberculosis, 
D  for  diphtheria  and  so  on.  All  diseases  seemed  to  be  pretty  well  under 
control  except  one  indicated  by  the  symbol  GOK. 

"I  observe",  said  the  famous  doctor,  "that  you  have  a  sweeping  epidemic 
of  GOK  on  your  hands.  This  symbol  is  not  in  common  use  in  American 
medical  circles;    just  what  is  GOK?" 

"Oh!"  one  of  his  hosts  lightly  replied,  "when  we  can't  diagnose.,  God 
Only    Knows." 

— Quoted   by   Walter   Neale   in   "Life  of  Ambrose  Biercc."

Did  you  ever  see  Jim  Mellott  snooze  in  class?     Well,  you  missed  something. 


Rothmeyer:    What  other  symptoms  may  be  present  with  Portal  Cirrhosis? 

Walsh:    You  have  Hemorrhoids,  and 

Rothmeyer:    Well,  let  that  be  a  secret  between  you  and  me.

Farewell  Tribute  to  Dr.  Edward  G.  Drew,  vet- 
eran surgeon,  physician  and  educator,  was  held  on 
June  21,  1943.  After  thirty-five  years  of  service  on 
the  faculty  of  the  college  and  the  hospital  staff, 
Dr.  Drew  has  left  to  take  over  the  direction  of  an 
Osteopathic  hospital  in  Maine. 

As  those  at  the  banquet  aptly  put  it,  "He  will 
be  missed  in  the  pit,  at  the  bedside,  and  on  the  lec- 
ture platform  and  in  the  home."  We  fully  believe 
that  when  the  history  of  Osteopathy  is  written  the 
permanent  chronicles  will  show  the  name  of  E.  G. 
Drew  as  a  pioneer,  educator,  and  physician  of  note 
in  the  City  of  Philadelphia.

Funzahoppin 


The  comedy  was  over  in  a  few  short  hours;  not  so  the  production. 
It  is  hard  work  and  sometimes  discouraging,  but  a  great  deal  of  fun  too 
for  both  cast  and  audience. 

Funzahoppin'  was  not  an  "original  idea"  although  claimed  to  be  such. 
Charles  Lodowski,  class  chairman,  did  the  ground  work  and  it  is  his  knowl- 
edge of  what  the  public  likes  that  made  our  comedy  a  "hit".  His  request 
that  each  succeeding  sophomore  class  present  a  similar  type  of  entertain- 
ment has  brought  forth  nothing  to  date. 

We  all  wish  to  let  "dead  dogs  lie"  but  who  can  forget  the  way: 

Mel  Katzman  danced  into  Dean  Herb's  office? 

Dean  Herb  looked — man  to  man? 

The  Glee  Club  sang — or  didn't  it? 

Jerry  Kohn  used  the  "butcher's  knife"? 

Stan  Schiowitz  gave  anesthesia? 

Bob  Delaplaine  cracked  his  jokes? 

"Throckpretzel"  Gland  imitated  the  patient? 

The  surgery  behind  the  sheet? 

The  way  "Oiv"  Lebow  played  the  gee-tar? 

"Maggie's  Drawers"  were  shown  along  with  the  verse? 

And  to  top  it  off,  all  proceeds  were  given  to  the  Osteopathic  drive. 
To  all  who  had  any  part  in  this  affair,  and  especially  to  Charles  Lodowski 
and  Stan  Schiowitz;  a  good  job  well  done.

The  Junior  Prom 


One  of  the  major  events  of  the  year  is  a  dance  held  by  the  juniors  in 
honor  of  the  senior  class.  This  year  the  affair  took  place  in  the  Crystal  Ball- 
room of  the  Stephan  Girard  Hotel  on  December  3,   1943. 

The  transportation  situation  being  what  it  is,  dress  was  according  to 
the  individual's  taste.  Many  donned  their  formal  evening  clothes  while 
others  appeared  in  street  dress. 

It  is  at  this  dance  that  the  new  members  of  the  Neo-Senior  Honorary 
Society  are  announced.  The  chosen  juniors  included  Richard  Borman, 
Charles  Lodowski,  Edward  Ropulewicz,  Stanley  Turner  and  Walter  Willis. 
Dr.  Munro  Purse  acted  as  announcer. 

The  students  eagerly  await  this  year's  Prom;    see  you  there!

'very  book  that  wins  its  way  to  a 
place  of  safekeeping  must  possess  either  much  wanted  subject 
matter  or  great  physical  charm  .  .  there  is  no  reason  why  a 
book  should  not  possess  both .  .  it's  all  a  matter  of  planning. 
Of  course  one  must  know  about  such  things  as  pleasing  layouts
