Gifts and GrantsThe College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery

has been awarded a research grant of approximately46.000 bv the Tnited r tnt c n rt3 .o.rn , f . -lifl-t.

Education a n d Welfare.Dr. Mark Goldie, AssociateProfessor of Physiology forthe College, is the principalinvestigator of this grant.

His research program hasbeen exploring the develop-mental patterns leading tothe appearance of certainabnormalities in the chickembryo. These abnormal-ities, called phenocopies, re-semble traits resulting fromgenetic changes; thus, someinsight into the manner in

which these mutations are produced has been obtained.Dr. Goldie's future research will consist of further in-vestigations of these phenocopies, as well as the effects ofexcesses of various subtances known to be required for theproper nutrition of embryos. He has been using a varietyof techniques in investigating this problem, one of whichis the use of tissue culture methods. The aim of this in-vestigation is directed toward a partial definition of theproperties of embryonic tissues which determine theirsensitivity when confronted with teratogenic agents. Thelong-term goal of this research program is the under-standing of fundamental mechanisms involved in theproduction of teratological abnormalities in vertebrateembryos, whether provoked by hereditary factors or bychemical substances.

It is expected that some insight into the underlyingphysiological mechanisms operating in these latterinstances will be gained to serve as a basis for develop-ment of therapeutic regimens to prevent or alleviate theoccurrence of these malformations. The evidence obtainedfrom this information may also supply a foundation forthe appreciation and evaluation of possible nutritionalhazards to man and domestic animals, especially duringdevelopment, resulting from the practically limitlessavailability and use of nutritional supplements (notablyvitamins and amino acids) by the lay person. These supple-ments, which may be administered without regulation,allow the establishment of a variety of embryological en-vironments in man and in domestic animals. The potentialconsequences of such environments are almost completelyunknown.

A new Picker X-Ray machine, provided with the helpof a grant of $2500 from the H-awley Foundation of DesMoines, Iowa, has been installed at College Clinic-FortDes Moines. Pictured here demonstrating an x-ray ofthe wrist is senior doctor Richard Allen Lane, Dallas,Texas (seated) and Laverna Barnard (left), clinicalmedical assistant. Senior doctors Samuel Walter 14il-liams, Clinton, Iowa; Charles Lew Pigneri, West DesMloines, Iowa; Paul Arnold Lippman, Philadelphia,Pennsylvania, watch the demonstration. All four seniordoctors are members of the clinic staff under the directionof Dr. Jean LeRoque.

George Tong (center left), manufacturer of the TongMechanical Table, and Dr. John Fox (center right),both from St. Louis, Missouri, demonstrate the use ofthe new table, valued at $1100, and given to the CollegeClinic by Mr. Tong. The table, located in the PhysicalMedicine and Rehabilitation Department, will be usedby junior and senior doctors for the promotion of motionand traction when indicated in the treatment of theirpatients.

The Department of Anatomy in January re-ceived a five hundred dollar check from a donor whowishes to remain anonymous. Dr. Stanley D.Miroyiannis will use the money exclusively for hisdepartment.

A recent gift of five hundred dollars from theE. E. Chappell Foundation brings the total amountreceived by the College from this Foundation since1953 to $5,700. The Foundation was established inmemory of Dr. Edward L. Chappell's father. Dr.Chappell, who resides in Clear Lake, is a 1943Kirksville graduate.

The College has received a new grant from theIowa State Department of Health. This grant willbe used by Dr. Milton J. Dakovich, Heart StationDirector, in evaluating a new technique for therapid screening of electro-cardiography abnormal-ities.-- - -- -.

SECONDINTERNATIONAL

CARDIOVASCULARCONFERENCE

ST. ADELE, QUEBECJune 8-11, 1964

^.\~~ ~ Presented byThe College of Osteopathic

~k Medicine and Surgery2^~ ~Des Moines, loua

Latest findings of research projects will be discussedby eight internationally known medical researchers atthe COMS Second International Cardiovascular Confer-ence on June 8-12 at the Chantecler, Ste. Adele, Quebec,Canada. The Program Chairman, DONALD F. M.BUNCE, II, Ph.D., Research Professor of Physiologyfor the College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery,heads the list of lecturers.

He came to COMS in June 1962 from Tulane Uni-versity, New Orleans, where he was an Instructor inAnatomy. He was the recipient of a $30,654 researchgrant from the National Heart Institute for a two-yearstudy of distended blood vessels.

Internationally known for his work in medical re-search, Dr. Bunce presented research papers before threemedical congresses in Europe during the fall of 1962.These included the Second International Symposium inAngiology at Dormstadt, Germany, in October; theSection of Cardiosurgery at the 100th medical congressin Prague, Czechoslovakia; and the Zoological Society inLondon, both during November.

Along with his work in research, Dr. Bunce developeda special double hemostat to remove arteries and veins,filled with blood, from living animals. With this devicehe can study vessel structures as they exist during life.

In 1945, he started the Bunce School of MedicalTechnology at Coral Gables, Florida. Later he becameDirector of Research for a pharmaceutical manufacturerin Chicago. From 1957 to 1960, he did research andtaught Gross Anatomy and Histology at the Universityof Illinois before joining the Tulane University faculty.

Dr. Bunce was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Hewas awarded the B.Sc. degree from the University ofMiami, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the Uni-versity of Illinois College of Medicine.

Dr. Bunce's interest in his profession is evidenced byhis active membership in several professional organizations.He has been made a Fellow in the American College ofAngiology; American Association for the Advancementof Science, and the Iowa Academy of Science. Includedamong the many honors he has received is his recent ap-pointment as a member of the Editorial Boards of theACTA Physiologica and Angeiologie (Paris).

Early in 1963 Dr. Bunce was named Director of theGraduate School of the College of Osteopathic Medicineand Surgery.

DR. HANS SELYE, world renowned endocrino-logist and lecturer from the University of Montreal whoparticipated in the COMS Postdoctoral Course in 1962,will bring information in his field to those attending theConference.

Dr. Selye has won the respect and interest of theentire medical profession with his theory that the humanbody has a unified defense against disease, pain, fatigueand stress-a concept which "promises to take its placewith the medical milestones of Pasteur, Koch, Behring andErlich," (LOOK, Mar. 27, 1951). During 15 years ofresearch he has demonstrated in experiments that manydiseases, including arthritis, heart and kidney diseases,result from an unbalancing of hormones under prolongedstress.

With a wide background in medical research, Dr.Selye became an Expert Consultant to the SurgeonGeneral of the United States Army in 1947, and is aspecial guest lecturer of the Naval Medical School atBethesda, Maryland, and at the Royal College ofPhysicians in Canada.

Dr. Selye was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1907. Itwas only natural that his inclinations toward the field ofmedicine were evident at an early age-his father was anoted doctor and his grandfather and great-grandfatherwere physicians.

After attending the College of the Benedictine Fathersin Komarom, Czechoslovakia, from 1916-1924, he enteredthe University of Prague as a medical student. He studiedalso at the University of Paris and at the University ofRome. In 1927 he returned to the University of Pragueto complete his medical studies and was awarded an M.D.degree in 1929, and a Ph.D. degree in chemistry in1931. While completing his doctorate, Dr. Selye beganhis career in medicine and research as an assistant in Ex-perimental Pathology in 1929. He later went to McGillUniversity, Montreal, Canada, as a Rockefeller ResearchFellow to the Department of Biochemistry. In 1933 hewas appointed a lecturer in Biochemistry, and in 1934an assistant professor at McGill University. In 1942he was awarded a D.Sc. degree in Medical Science fromMcGill.

Dr. Selye secured the first evidence of his "stress"theory of disease in 1936 while conducting laboratory testson the glandular system of rats. At this time his revolu-tionary concept received little support or attention fromthe medical fields. However, he continued with his ex-perimental tests and is today the world's outstandingexpert on endocrine glands.

In 1943, Dr. Selye published the first four volumesof a six-volume ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ENDOCRINOLOGY, andthe last two volumes in 1946. He wrote more than 400scientific papers, including articles published in the Londonmagazine NATURE, and others published abroad, beforehe came to America.

He has written several books including ON THEEXPERIMENTAL MORPHOLOGY OF THE ADRENAL COR-TEX (in collaboration with H. Stone, 1950); Textbookof ENDOCRINOLOGY (2nd edition, 1949) ; STRESS (1950) ;FIRST ANNUAL REPORT ON STRESS (1951); THE STORYOF THE ADAPTATION SYNDROME (1952); ENDOCRIN-OLOGIA (1952); and the SECOND ANNUAL REPORT ONSTRESS (in collaboration with A. Horava, 1952).

Pastoral PsychologyCourse

Seventeen ministers f rom theGreater Des Moines Ministerial As-sociation enrolled on February 4 atCOMS for the first semester of athree-year Pastoral Psychology courseembracing mental health and religion.

The course was devised by Dr. ErleFitz, chairman of the Department ofPsychiatry, and his assistant, Pro-fessor C h a rl es Palmgren, whorecognize the need for a more produc-tive liaison between those in Psychia-try and the counseling clergy.

Prior to offering the course, Dr.Fitz and Mr. Palmgren met withofficers of the ministerial associationto discuss the problems that seem toseparate both groups. Different pointsof view were discussed which broughtinto focus the facts that goals weresimilar and that much of the mis-understanding was of a conceptualnature. The ministers agreed thatthere is a need for further educationconcerning manifestations and indica-tions for referral. They also agreedthat additional work in the area oftheory as related to the variousschools of psychiatric thought woulddo much to clarify the tendency tomisinterpret the aims and methodsof the Psychiatrist. Dr. Fitz, in turn,expressed the need for the Psychiatristto know more about the spiritual sideof man-this being a facet of man'stotality long evaded.

The Pastoral Psychology courseoffered by the Department ofPsychiatry should do much to im-prove communication between twodisciplines that are dedicated to thetask of helping man become more ofwhat he should be.

Thus, COMS joins such groupsas the National Academy of Religionand Mental Health and the Societyof Existential Psychology andPsychiatry in their efforts to bridgea chasm that has existed far too long.

The denominational affiliations ofthe ministers enrolled in the PastoralPsychology course include UnitedChurch of Christ (1); United Pres-byterian (4) ; Lutheran (3) ; Metho-dist (2); Jewish (1); Baptist (2);Evangelical United Brethern (1);Disciple of Christ (1); First Churchof God (1) and Unitarian (1).

ANESTHESIOLOGY:

The growing role of the anesthesiologist in the modern hospital isincreasing the horizon of both surgery and medicine.

Six-thirty a.m. The first half light of dawn isannouncing a new day. The hospital is stirring to actionafter a night of watchful vigilance. Soon the day nursingstaff will take over the duties of those who have kept thenight watch.

Already the lights are on in the surgical suite. Theanesthesia personnel is putting its house in order to meetthe needs of another day in surgery. Each piece ofequipment is being tested and readied. The breathingtubes, masks, and drugs must be close at hand andready for use.

Now the surgical staff is quietly and efficiently as-sembling the packs of sterile instruments and drapes, andequipment necessary for the first surgery of the day. Inthe surgery suite everything is tailored to meet the needsof the patient. The anesthesiologist has reviewed thepatient's medical history, the findings of the physicalexamination, and the results of the various X-ray andlaboratory tests recorded on the patient's chart. He hasbeen particularly interested in the history of previousanesthetics, diseases, and abnormalities of the respiratorysystem, heart and circulation. With this knowledge (andpatient's permission), he will select the safest anesthesiafor his patient and one best suited to this particularoperation.

The operating room team is now joined by thesurgeon, his resident, and several fourth-year medicalstudents serving their hospital clerkship. These studentsare following the course of all students of medicine sincethe beginning of medical history-that of observing, as-sisting, and learning from the practicing physician. Thismorning one will scrub in and help at the table; theothers will observe and help the anesthesiologist.

The chain of events bringing the patient to theoperating room began the evening before with a per-sonal visit from the anesthesiologist and the ever-presentstudent. The anesthesiologist answers the patient's ques-tions, and tries to allay his apprehensions. Reassuranceof the patient is one function of the anesthesiologist andmarks one of the most important advances in anesthetictechnique. This is particularly important with childrenas they require especially skillful handling and reassurance.

During the operation, the anesthesiologist must bealert for changes in the patient's condition that indicatedanger. He must constantly check blood pressure, pulse,and respiration. The anesthesiologist is no longer con-cerned simply with eliminating pain. He is preparedto breathe for the patient artificially, to feed him intra-venously, to treat him for shock if necessary. He must

be diagnostician and therapist, and his diagnosis often mustbe instantaneous and followed by immediate and accuratetherapy.

The last phase of observation of the patient goeson in the post-anesthesia "recovery room." Many liveshave been saved by the concentration of all the immediatepost-operative and post-anesthetic problems in one areaunder the care of the anesthesiologist and specially-trainednursing personnel whose sole responsibility is the care ofthe patient in the immediate post-operative period. Therecovery room has simplified and made safer the care ofthe patient through the oftentimes critical immediatepost-operative period.

In recent years the anesthesiologist has found his re-sponsibilities broadening and his duties increasing. Nolonger is his work confined to the operating theatre andthe delivery room. The anesthesiologist's background as aphysician and special training in the many fields relatingto the practice of his specialty have prepared him to takehis place as a respiratory physiologist and an appliedpharmacologist.

Dr. Joseph E. Prior, Assistant Professor of Anesthesi-ology, is chairman of the Department of Anesthesiology atCollege Hospital. Dr. Prior's staff includes Mrs. ElsieFarris, C.R.N.A. (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthe-tist), Mr. Ed Tate, surgical orderly and inhalation thera-pist's technician, and Mrs. M. Loyd, R.N., supervisor ofthe Post-Anesthesia Recovery Room.

Under the guidance of Dr. Prior and his staff, thestudent at COMS serving his hospital clerkship under-goes his orientation in anesthesiology. A broad, practicaleducation is his during his hospital clerkship. Theanesthesia duty offers him experience in the preparation ofthe patient in and for the operating room, following hisprogress in the post-anesthesia recovery room, writingorders for his care and medication. During his busy work-ing day he observes the administration of anesthesia in thedelivery room, as well as the major and minor surgery.Observing and assisting in spinal puncture procedures,bone marrow trephines, or administering blood gives thestudent experience that can be gained in no other way.As the osteopathic student discharges his hospital duties heis able to see the application of his basic knowledge ofanatomy, physiology, and pharmacology. By working withphysicians, such as Dr. Prior, during his hospital clerk-ship, he gains the knowledge and techniques that will beinvaluable to him when, in the immediate future, hemust accept the responsibility for the care and treatmentof the patients in his own practice.

Anesthesiology has crossed the threshold of a new scientific era in its second century of practice.Since the fateful day of October 16, 1846, when a Boston dentist, William T. G. Morton, first deadenedhis patient's tooth for an extraction, the one time turbulent road of progress for anesthesia has indeedreached a significant point in medical history. With the successes of cardiac surgery, organ trans-plantation, chest and abdominal surgery, the demands for improved anesthetic methods have increased,The anesthesiologist has met this challenge and, with the surgeon, continues to meet the needs ofmedical progress.

How to Conduct a MergerWhen Dr. Richard E. Eby (D.O.), President of the Kansas City Coilege of

Osteopathy and Surgery, sent the following memorandum to that College's Alumni,he was, in fact, speaking for each of the osteopathic college presidents. We pass themessage on to our COMS Alumni.

MEMORANDUMThe time has come to talk frankly, and put our cards on the table. They are easy to read for those who would

do so. However, some won't read so I'll do it for them. This will be the last time I will repeat my thoughts on merger.I did not come to K.C. to give it away. Our Board does not meet to undermine it. I had hoped that our ALUMNIknew this. Some don't.

Now .... I must tell you how to conduct a merger so those who cannot read the cards won't waste further timemaking foolish comments ......

HOW TO MERGE1. Believe any and all rumors!2. Spread these rumors and add a new one!3. Condemn your leaders whenever they support your profession!4. Condemn the College whenever you have not visited it or even talked to its

officials!5. Withhold financial support so the college can not function in your best interest!6. Tell prospective students that your college only admits rejects!7. Refuse to notify your patients that your college would appreciate their support

as a tribute to your services!8. Tell your wife, your children, and your friends that you are a second-rate doctor!9. Always support your political opponent but never stand up for your own pro-

fession. This seals the argument.

IF THIS SERIES OF ACTIONS SEEMS RIDICULOUS, SO IS MERGER. THEREFORE, TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER FOOLISHNESS

REGARDING MERGER, GO DOWN THIS LIST OF MISCONDUCT AND DO EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE. YOUR ALMA MATER NEEDS

YOU. WE ARE DEDICATED AT THIS COLLEGE TO WORK FOR YOU AND THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA.

As your college president, I know these things:1. This is your college as long as you support it.2. It can only exist as it is an osteopathic institution proud of its heritage and dedicated to its purpose.3. Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons are first class citizens; so are our students.4. The College image mirrors yours. How tall do you stand?

I have put my cards on the table. Let's play this game together, with the idea of winning!

Graduation is the culnination of fouir years of studyas a group at the College of Osteopathic Medicine andSurgery and the beginning of furthering our individualinterests and desires in accepting the challenge of medicine.It is highly unlikely that we all will ever be togetheragain in a group.

As previous classes have done, the class of '64 offersits thanks and sentiments of appreciation o t he basic

science staff for their efforts in preparing us to betterunderstand that wxhich the clinical and hospital staffoffered later.

It was with the clinical and hospital staffs that theclass was able to demonstrate ability and judgment duringthe continuing process of preparing us to enter thepractice of Osteopathic Medicine. We thank them fortheir patience and guidance during this learning process.

Dr. Andrew Still once said, "Man, the most complete,intricate and delicately constructed machine of all Crea-tion, is the one wit h hich the osteopath must becomefamiiliar." We wish to thank all of those who have guidedus into a recognition of this and we hope that in thefuture some of us may guide new personnel along thesesame paths in their efforts towards becoming osteopathicphysicians.

NEUROANATOMYThis course of study serves as the basis for the understanding ofmany fields of medicine.

N'EUROANATOMY may be defined as the study of theanatomy of the central nervous systernm-the brain and thespinal cord. Although the anatomr of the human bodyhas been an area of study by scholars since ancient times,the first adequate illustrations of cerebral structure arethose found in the Fabrica of Andreas Vesalius, publishedin. 1543. His plates, representing the nervous system, showmany of the major structures, including the cerebellum,the cerebral ventricles and a majority of the cranial nerves.

Through the publication of the studies of the anatomistand the drawings of the e medical artist, knowledge ofmedical studies was communicated. Many anatomists,since the sixteenth century, have made contributions tothe study of neuroanatonly. However, only in recenthistory has the correlation of the findings of the neuro-anatomnist and the physician treating the mentally ill.been recognized.

I'hough the field of study may seem very narrow,the investigation of the brain which is the control center,and the nerves of the body themselves which act as thecommunication network, presents a challenge to the stu-dent. The student learns through study of his textbook,library work, lectures and laboratory work.

TI "he areas and functions of the brain are studiedthrough the gross examination of the brain sections. Eachlaboratory group is supplied with a spinal cord, wholebrain, half brain, or brain stem. In addition, special brainand cord sections are prepared for demonstration purposes.Colored projection slides and microscope slides are utilizedas teaching aids.

The osteopathic student finds that learning the manyfacets of the nervous system is a difficult task. But onlywith the basic knowledge of these pathways may the manyramifications of his clinical studies be understood. Twoand one-half credit hours (one hour lecture and threehours laboratory) in neuroanatomy are offered in thesecond semester of the freshman year. This course iscorrelated xwith a full-year course in gross anatomy and aone-semnester course in Histology under the direction ofthe chairman of the Department of Anatomy, ProfessorStanley I). Miroyiannis, Ph.D. It also runs concurrentlywith the study of neurophysiology.

Neturoanatomy is taught by Dr. Wilford L. Nusser,Professor of Experimental Neuroanatomy and chairmanof the Physiology Department. D. Nusser joined theCollege of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery in 1954. Herecently returned to the faculty after a three-year leave

of absence, during which he devoted his time to. thestudy of Neuroanatomy at Emory iUTniversity, Atlanta,Georgia. While engaged in studies at Emory, he cor-ducted research in peripheral. nerve degeneration. In hisinvestigations Dr. Nusser became familiar with theelectron microscope and conducted much of his researchwith this instrument. Student instructors, Ben Rainesand Harlan Hunter, assist Dr. Nusser in teaching andlaboratory work.

As has been pointed out, the studys of the centiralnervous system is a comparatively narrow: field and muchof the mechanics of the functions of the brain and. centralnervous system are as yet little understood. It is interestingto note, however, the importance attached to the studyand understanding of nettroanatomy by specialists in.divergent fields of medical practices, as well asi 'by thegeneral practitioner.

Several COMI S professors expressed theniselves con-cerning the role of neeu roanlatonmy and its correlation withother departments, as follows:

Dr. Joseph Prior, Anesthesiologist : t. Understanedingneiiroanatomy becomes an integral part of the osteop-athic anesthesiologist's knowledge of the many ways inwhich nmechanical stimulation affects the condition of theanesthetized, patient. Osteopathic concepts include thisknowledge of mechanical stimulation to the auitonomicnervous system. The osteopathic anesthesiologist nimust beconstantly aware of these reflex patterns."

Dr. Milton Dakovich, Internist: "In cardiology andcardiovascular diseases the understanding of neuroanatormyhas its application in the diagnosis and treatment ofcerebral vascular accidents and their after effects. Anumber of patients seen in Heart Station at the Collegeof Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery have recovered. fromthis type of episode. We try, at the time of their examihna-tion, to go over with the student the exact area of thebrain that was damaged and. correlate this with theirphysical findings. Also, with our older population today,the physician must be more aware of the increasing inci-dence of cerebral vasc ular problems."

Dr. Erile W. Fitz, Psychiatrist: "A comprehensiveunderstanding of neuroanatomy can do nothing but sup-port the idea that there is more involved to man thanpure stimulus-response."

The study of necuroanatomy helps the student, 'theosteopathic physician, the specialist, and the generalpractitioner to serve their patients better.

The laboratory is the best teaching center forthe student to learn gross structures and rela-tionships of the Central Nervous System.

Th-ose wxho knlew Dr. H. A.Arnlold , 88, Vancoutver, W ashiigton,experienlced a keen sense of loss whenexword 1wa7s received at CO) N IS thathe had passed awaay on Februlary 20,1964. ia.fter a lingering illness.

Dlr. Arnold last visited the Collegeon November 8 anid 9, 1960, as alecturer to I)r. Byron Laycock'sclasses in Osteopathic Principles andManipulative Techniques. His dem-onstratiolls of manipulative techniques

were applauded and wxell-received byCO/MS students. He was easily recog-nized as one of the 'Grand O-ld Men'of Osteopathy! He held a firr beliefthat nothing could replace the tech-nique of the "ten -fingered osteop-athy."

Dr. Arnold was born iin Iow a in1875, and spent his boyhood on farmsnear Newton and Ames. He wasgraduated from (G r i n n e I l (Iowa)College in 1901, before enrolling inthe Dr. S. S. Still College of Osteop-athy in Des Mloines. He received theDoctor of Osteopathy degree in 1903.

That same year he began hispractice in Portland, Oregon, andtwo years later he moved to Van-couver. About fourteen years ago hemoved his office from downtown Van-couver to one in his home xwhere hemaintained an active practice until hewas forced to retire for reasons ofhealth. He treated his last patientin July 1963, after fifty-nine yearsand ten months of practice as aDoctor of Osteopathy.

)uring these years he had treatedfive generations in a nir 1u b e r offamilies in the Vancouver area, andhad treated six generations in his ownfamilv.

D)r. Arnold was an activ e workerin organizilg the W ashington ()steopathic NIedical Association and inrecent years weas awarded honorarylife membership in the WON)A.

Surviving tDr. Arnold are hiswidow, Willena, at home; his threesons: George of Seattle, Washington,Paul of Binghamton, Newx York, andHarold of Vista, California; h isbrother, Judson of Tacoma, W\ash-ington; tine grandchildren a t deleven great-grandchildren.

While visiting the Des MoinesCollege in 1960, Dr. Arnold told ofsone of his owtn experiences as astudent. He related stories about theCollege football team of which he wasa member. "Those were the dayswhen a player had to be rugged,"asserted Dr. Arnold, "because therewere no time-outs during the thirtyminute halves - not even for re-placements! .. . and we played with-out benefit of protective uniforms andgadgets worn by todays m o d e r tnplayers."

That same spirit which character-ized his life and work and made hima popular and beloved figure inosteopathic circles will c a u s e Dr.Arnold to be long-remembered.

Shortly after corinig to CO XIS, I coimmented thatwe had an able and competent staff and facultvy. Thefull potential of our staff and faculty is becoming moreapparent each semester.

Our college is gradually becoming, from the stand-point of medical training, most outstanding -thanks toan able faculty. Our research program is steadily develop-ing and has now reached the point that we need notapologize to anyone. It would take many paragraphs tospell out the whole story in this area.

A new and most significant development in theosteopathic college field has appeared here at COMS. Agraduate school is now functioning alongside our med-ical school. The graduate school offers advanced workleading to the degree of Master of Science in Anatomy,Biochemistry, or Physiology. Senior members of the med-ical college faculty also serve the graduate school.

As I have previously written, our faculty offers alndprovides our students, both graduate and medical, witha curriculum rich in content.

We have eighty-nine freshmen students beginningtheir medical careers with us. Each of the class membersis well qualified and well recommended.

We are planning, we are growing, we will succeedwith the help of each and every member of the staffcooperating toward our main objective.

To all of us - faculty, staff, and stuldelntsare challenging times.

The promotion of three faculty nmenrbers was an-nounced by Dr. Ora E. Niffenegger, Dean of COMS.

Michael S. Barry has been appointed Assistait Deanrin Charge of Student Affairs. He will contirlue ini theposition of Registrar, which he has held for three years.

Psychiatry:

Exploring Man's PersonalityAnd Its Disturbances

The opening paragraph of Robert WV. White's "TheAbnormal Personality" serves as the introduction to this articleabout the Department of Psychiatry, its work at the Collegeof Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery, and its efforts inteaching future osteopathic physicians.

"Abnormal Psychology is a relatively new field of study.Fifty years ago it was considered a remote province ofknowledge, explored only by a few specialists, and it playeda distinctly minor part in man's thinking about his own nature.Today it contributes richly to the training of those professionalworkers, especially psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers,teachers, and ministers, whose duties bring them in frequentcontact with troubled people. More than this, it occupies arespected place among general college courses, for it is capableof making a highly significant contribution to all thinking aboutman's problems and man's quest for a better way of life.Abnormal personalities are not mysteriously set apart fromthe normal. Their various peculiarities represent exaggera-tions of what is to be found in every human being. They aretherefore well suited to enlarge our understanding of thewhole process of personal adjustment. If we know what cango wrong in human development, we are the wiser in makingit go right."

From his freshman year through his senior year at theCollege of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery the student isintroduced to the many areas involved in the fields ofPsychology and Psychiatry. One of the first of these is thefreshman course Human Ecoloqy. This course was introducedin the Fall of 1960 under a Public Health Service grant. Itspurpose is to give the osteopathic student a broader back-ground into the inter-relationships between man and hisenvironment - a concept only now coming under considera-tion in its relationship to the field of medicine. In the BasicScience field the student learns about the various functions ofthe nervous system and those areas of the brain which controlmuch of man's behavior.

Clinical Psychiatry, a sophomore course, starts the futureosteopath on the road to understanding the problems and thetreatment of his future patients. In this course he comes toknow the background of the field, and its conventional ap-proaches and methods of treatment. In addition to much thatis gained from the text material, the new concepts as well asthe personal experiences gained from their years of experienceare presented in lectures by the Psychiatry Department staff.

In his junior year the student expands his study intoPsycho-physiological Medicine. His studies in psychiatry nowbecome correlated with diagnosis and physical medicine andthe osteopathic concept of treating the whole man begins toemerge.

Full time clinical and hospital practice for the seniorstudent brings him experience in treating not only the medicalneeds of his patients but also their psychological needs.

The activities of the Department of Psychiatry are spear-headed by the Chairman, Erle W. Fitz, D.O., Associate Profes-sor of Psychiatry. Dr. Fitz, a graduate of Kirksville College ofOsteopathy and Surgery, took his residency in psychiatry at Still-Hildreth Osteopathic Sanitarium, Macon, Missouri. He hasbeen in practice for twenty-one years - six years of whichhave been at COMS. In the past several years he has headedan increasing number of activities in teaching, communityservice and civic leadership. Because of his progressive activ-ities in his specialty, he is a frequent platform speaker atnational osteopathic and psychiatric meetings.

Mr. Charles Palmgren, Assistant Professor in the De-partment of Psychiatry, serves also as pastoral consultant andresearch assistant. Mr. Palmgren received his B.A. degreefrom Drake University in 1955, and an M.A. in 1963. Inaddition, he has had two and a half years of graduate studyat the University of Chicago, and two years of study with1)r. Fitz. Since joining COMS two years ago, Mr. Palmgrenhas contributed much to the teaching program in the areasof psychology, hypnosis and other specialty areas.

The staff has the closest contact with the student doctor ina clinical situation during the student's senior year. In addi-tion to providing this doctor-patient experience, the PsychiatryDepartment conducts several of the series of clinical seminarsfor the senior student. In the seminars the problems of practiceand treatments are discussed on an individual patient level.

Each year nine senior students who have a particularinterest in psychiatry and meet other qualifications begin aprogram in undergraduate psychiatry. This program is madepossible by money from the Public Health Service. Thesestudents work many hours over and above their regularclinic duty hours. Besides the additional research, didacticwork, and library assignments, these students gain much extraclinical experience working with patients in the PsychiatryDepartment. Under this program each student receives astipend.

Part of the work of these students with Dr. Fitz and Mr.Palmgren has been in the field of hypnosis and its use.Hypnosis in medical use has had a rather controversial past.However, at the present time, due to advances in methodology,it is gradually returning to greater use. Because of past con-troversy much time has been lost in researching this field.

"At the present time," Mr. Palmgren said, "the Depart-nient of Psychiatry is developing an interest in the merits ofhypnosis and suggestive therapy in the light of its own emer-gent concepts of personality."

"There is no question," continued Mr. Palmgren, "that thevalue and definition of hypnosis has varied in accordance withthe theoretical concepts of the hypnotherapist. Some theories ofpersonality assume hypnosis is dangerous and may alwaysthreaten to trigger a latent psychosis. Other theories find thisnotion a fallacious and unscientific interpretation of the ever-growing body of information available to the competent in-vestigator. It is time that so-called authorities were seriouslychallenged and their hypotheses exposed to clinical testing.It now seems evident that numerous alterations of conscious-ness have been lumped into one notion of hypnosis. This, morethan anything else, may eventually offer a solution to muchof the conflicting data found by some and not by others."

One evening each week the staff of the Psychiatry De-partment conducts a voluntary group therapy session. This, ofcourse, is an educational experience for the stipend studentswho assist with the session, as well as a genuine help to thosepatients participating. The sessions are attended mainly byclinic and departmental patients. However, some persons attendwhose only contact with the college is this therapy session.

Dr. Fitz and Mr. Palmgren believe that, because thereis a continuous shortage of qualified therapists and psychologistsin a community, and because the pastor, priest or rabbi playsan important role in advising members of a community inpersonal problems, additional training in psychology should beavailable for these people. Consequently, a postgraduate coursein Pastoral Psychology is now offered at COMS. This three-year course is in its second year of operation and now hasboth a first and a second year class. The class has been wellaccepted and is being attended by increasing numbers ofpastors from the Des Moines area.

For many years after psychiatry became acceptable tomedicine, psychiatrists adopted the mode of analyzing psycho-pathology in terms of disease entities which could be isolated,classified, and specifically treated. Today there is a growingawareness that psychic illness is a disease of a different breed.The origins of many disturbances are often inter-psychical. Thepathological processes are as often social as individual. Theirsources are rooted in terms of man's relatedness toward him-self, others and the world.

The Department of Psychiatry of the College of OsteopathicMedicine and Surgery is earnestly seeking fuller implementa-tion of the osteopathic philosophy as it pertains to man'spersonality and its disturbances.

7

The Department of Psychiatry at COMS engages in many and

varied activities, but major emphasis is placed on the exposure

of the student osteopath to a practical background in psychiatry.

One of the community-oriented activities is the Pastoral Psychology

course.

The COMS goal is $2,000, and, while that is stillfar off, progress is being made. The staff and the non-D.O. faculty already have been generous in their con-tributions. Gradually the COMS Christmas Seal PiggyBank is fattening up, but we know this case of obesitywill be no cause for worry as it is a sign of healthyinterest in the profession.

This year's campaign is led by the SSP fraternityand assisted by the Students' Wives Club. Leonard Gaba,a junior student doctor, is the chairman.

Mrs. Henry Hillard, National Chairman of theNOF Christmas Seal Campaign, presents sheets ofseals to COMS President Merlyn McLaughlin andDr. Arthur M. Flack, Jr., Harrisburg, Pennsyl-vania.

Ted Flynn, Chairman of the Board of Trustees

Enrollment 1964 Fall Semester: The present enrollmentfigures are:

Fourth-year students 77Third-year students 66Second-year students 75

218 total

Incoming freshmen 88

306 grand total

This year's freshman class is the largest ever ac-cepted at the College, and the students were selected fromthe largest group ever to apply.

South Des Moines College Clinic: The South DesMoines College Clinic, which opened on October 1,1963, at Fort Des Moines, is progressing most satis-factorily and provides a very valuable additional trainingprogram for senior students.

During the first twelve months of its operation(October 1, 1963 - September 30, 1964) 1,030 patientsregistered at the Clinic, resulting in 8,121 patient visits.The gross income has been about $27,000. Ninety percentof the patients registered live in the South Des Moinesarea.

Dr. Jean LeRoque, Assistant Professor of OsteopathicMedicine, is the Director of the Clinic. He supervisesall cases cared for at the Clinic and also sees privatepatients.

Due to the success of the South Des Moines CollegeClinic, the College plans to establish other clinics intowns near Des Moines.

Finances: Financially the College is better than a yearago, but still is in the red. The improvement results fromthe employment of more clinical faculty with a resultingincrease in hospital and clinic income, and the increasedtuition.

Faculty and Staff: In September, 1963, the followingpersons came to work for the College:

Jay W. Adams, D.O. - Head of Department ofPediatrics and Assistant Clinical Lecturer in Pediatrics

Robert Ho, D.O. - Assistant Professor of Ortho-pedic Surgery

Jean LeRoque, D.O. - Assistant Professor of Os-teopathic Medicine and Director of the South Des MoinesCollege Clinic

Charles Palmgren, M.A. - Assistant Professor, De-partment of Psychiatry

Bernice Wilson, B.A., M.A. - Director of PublicRelations Department

Wilbur Meredith - Property and PurchasingOfficer

In August, 1964, Roger F. Senty, D.O., AssistantProfessor of Surgery, joined the faculty.

In September, 1964, two more persons began workat the College - Nancy J. Stone, Ph.D., AssistantProfessor of Pharmacology, and Jean (Musgrove)Strueber, B.A., Editorial Assistant in Public RelationsDepartment.

Research Program: The total grants in force for thecalendar year 1964 amount to $225,600.

M. E. Wallace, Trustee

"I feel that a good line of communication betweenthe College and its Board of Trustees and the alumni isvery important. You, the alumni, pay a great deal to theCollege each year. The alumni paid into the O.P.F.,which is divided among all colleges, about $900,000last year. Since the O.P.F. was started in 1946, you havepaid in over $12 million. You should know what hasbeen done with this money and what progress has beenmade.

President McLaughlin

In June the Corporate Board directed the Presidentto determine the space and costs of a College Building,Clinic, and Hospital for the new campus. An ad hoccommittee of the Corporate Board was appointed toassist in this task. Advice has also been sought from ap-propriate federal agencies, architectural firms, medicaldeans, and the College faculty and staff. This plan willbe submitted to the members of the Board of Trusteesand Corporate Board for approval. Upon approval fundraising programs will be started.

In order to meet the increased work load generatedby the development program and other college activities,the administration has been reorganized as follows:

The Dean will be responsible to the President forall academic administration. A Business Manager hasbeen appointed who will be responsible to the Presidentfor all business matters connected with the College in-cluding: accounting, purchasing, Hospital administration,non-professional personnel, and budgeting. The Board ofTrustees is seeking a Director of Development whoseresponsibility will be to assist the President in all fundraising activities. The other member of the President'sstaff is the Director of Public Relations whose titledefines the responsibilities of the office.

The President will continue to be responsible forCollege liaison with civic, osteopathic, educational andgovernment organizations.

New Business ManagerCharles P. Keegan will become COMS new Busi-

ness Manager on December 14. He will be responsibletor all College businessmatters connected with ac-counting, purchasing, Hos-pital administration, non-professional personnel, andbudgeting.

Keegan has worked asAccountant for Drake Uni-versity the past two yearsand previously as a CertifiedPublic Accountant for R. D.Fogg in Des Moines, asSpecial Plans Administratorfor Bankers Life Company,and as a Junior Accountantwith Hollis and Kuckelman in Olathe, Kansas.

He holds a B. S. degree in Business Administrationfrom Kansas State University and has done graduatestudy at the State University of Iowa and at DrakeUniversity.

He and his family reside at 1800 12th Street, DesMoines.

RADIOLOGY:The x-ray has become a valuable aid in the diagnosis and treatment ofmany diseases.

In a modest little laboratory at the University ofWurzburg in Bavaria, on November 8, 1895, an obscurephysics professor came upon a mysterious ray which hadthe power to penetrate flesh, cloth, wood, and metal.This tall, slender, bearded teacher was Wilhelm KonradRoentgen.

On that eventful November evening Roentgen piecedtogether the results of the labor of a large number ofscientific observers and experimenters who had workedindependently over many generations collecting thefragments of physical data and developing the funda-mental hypothesis which he pieced together in makinghis epochal observation.

Fortunately for medicine, Roentgen used living tis-sues, among other things, to prove the penetrating powerof the unknown radiation which he designated as x-rays.Had he not used living tissue in testing his beam, thepotentialities of x-rays in the field of medicine might wellhave gone unexplored for a considerable length of time.The medical utilization of the new form of energy waswidely tested from the start.

For a time, the weak and inefficient apparatus re-quired for the production of x-rays was available onlyin progressive laboratories of physics and was not readilyaccessible to physicians who wished to use it in theirpractices. Some few physicians who were mechanicallyand electrically inclined acquired the proper equipmentand began to explore the usefulness of the new rays inthe examination of their patients.

Images produced by early equipment were poor andthe results less than useful. However, through the in-genuity of physicians and physicists, the x-ray graduallybecame useful in amplifying older methods of physicalexamination and diagnosis and superseded them withunique diagnostic procedures entirely dependent on thex-ray principle. The x-ray examination has permeatedpractically every subdivision of medical practice. It pro-vides the physician with factual information about hispatient which today seems indispensable.

The poorly-defined shadows cast by inadequate earlyequipment probably would have been only slowly im-proved had it not been for the urgent medical needs ofthe first world war. Materials and equipment weretested and techniques were improved. Improvement and

invention opened new fields of diagnostic achievement tothe radiologist. By the time of Roentgen's death in 1923,members of the medical profession had fully demonstratedtheir willingness and ability to utilize his gift. Roentgensought no reward and received no monetary gain fromhis great discovery, but he was awarded the first Nobelprize for physics in 1901.

Today x-rays and other forms of radiation are notonly an invaluable tool in diagnosis but also a sourceof therapy for many diseases, chiefly the malignant neo-plasms.

The Radiology Department at the College of Osteo-pathic Medicine and Surgery is headed by Dr. HenryKetman, Associate Professor of Diagnostic Radiology.Dr. Ketman, a 1937 graduate of COMS, was inprivate practice in Des Moines, Iowa, until he enteredthe Navy where he served during World War II. Uponhis separation from the service, Dr. Ketman returned tothe College where he began a full-time preceptorship inradiology. In 1949 he became head of the Department ofRadiology at the College, and in 1950 he was certifiedin radiology by the American Osteopathic Board ofRadiology.

A one-hour course in radiology is offered in thesecond semester Sophomore curriculum. The coursewhich introduces the student to diagnostic radiology,offers him a sound basis for the practicalities of his clin-ical experiences in the Junior and Senior years.

During half of his Junior year and all of his Senioryear the student maintains his clinical practice or serves ahospital clerkship. In the diagnosis and treatment of hispatients, he finds the radiological examination one ofhis indispensable tools. Consultations with Dr. Ketmanand the other clinical professors give the osteopathicstudent many hours of valuable experience in interpretingthe radiological findings.

At College Hospital the externs meet with Dr. Ket-man weekly for an informal seminar to discuss andreview house cases. By this practical experience, the stu-dent gains the knowledge and learns the techniques hewill need in his future practice.

Dr. Ketman's staff in the Department of Radiologyincludes Miss Jan Davis, R.M1.S., secretary to the de-partment, Mrs. Maureen Kurtz, registered radiologicaltechnician, and Mr. Bill Vaughn, technical assistant.

Osteopathic Progress Fund*Mrs. Robert W. Johnson

AOA, AAOA, NOF, NOGA, COMS, OPF -This may not be the initial profession, but it certainly isthe profession of initials. The initials I am here to talkto you about tonight are OPF - the Osteopathic Pro-gress Fund, or, in other words, the giving of the profes-sion, by the profession, for the profession.

Many years ago, when I was the wife of a seniorstudent here, if anyone had stood up at my seniorbanquet and told me that we would ever have enoughmoney to contribute to anything but the corner grocery,I would have thought he was out of his mind - but hereI am to do just that. As sure as I am standing here, theday will come for all of you when there will be moremoney than you will need to support your family. Whatwill you do with that money?

Going back to the initials, I like "OPF - Our Pro-fessional Future" or, "OPF - Our Profession First"which are synonymous with "OPF", the OsteopathicProgress Fund. The colleges are the foundation of theprofession, and the yardstick by which it is measured.Without them, there would be no profession. This isfundamental, and I believe in it sincerely. No self-respecting D.O. can fail to see the importance of keepingthe colleges financially sound and able to compete for thebest teachers available. Weak or second-rate schools donot add to the pride or stature of any alumnus.

Alumni of the osteopathic profession have the uniquedistinction of supporting their colleges to a greater ex-tent than any other alumni group. We can be veryproud of this if we are among those contributing.Government grants are welcome and important to theresearch programs, but as yet no osteopathic college hasreceived tax monies to pay for the essentials of everydayteaching in the colleges. Someone must pay the lightbill, the janitor's fee, and the necessities of a physicalplant. It would be impossible to assess students for thetotal cost of their education while they are attendingschool. The only hope for survival of the colleges istheir dependence on the conscience of each alumnus towant to 'pay later' for the education he received inprevious years.

I'm sure that the day when you will be able tohelp repay your college for your education seems veryfar away to you tonight, but you will be surprised howfast that time really does go. Most states have reduceddues for the beginning years of practice because theoutside demands on each dollar are great. An office,equipment, home, office help - all eat up the profits ofthe first few years. After that, you may want to join the'Support Through Dues' program which is available tothe D.O.'s in 26 states. This means that all the membersof the state divisional societies contribute at least $100 ayear over and above their state dues to the college orcolleges of their choice. (If you do not specify a particularcollege, the money is divided equally among all the os-teopathic colleges.) This is far less than most commonlaborers pay in union dues in one year, and far less thanmost of you pay for cigarettes in one year. For those

*Presented at the Students' Wives Club banquet in honor ofthe Senior Wives, June 3, 1964, at Kirkswood Hotel, DesMoines, lowa.

D.O.'s with flourishing practices, $100 a month wouldbe a more realistic goal to insure the future of the os-teopathic profession. Many D.O.'s do give more thanthe minimum amount to show their belief in this out-standing profession. Your regular contribution to yourcollege is the premium you pay to insure your professionalfuture.

What will the D.O. degree be worth five years fromnow? - ten years from now? The continuing quality, orthe lack of it, should be a matter of deep concern tothe alumnus of an osteopathic college and his family.Unless you assume the responsibility of seeing that fundsare available to maintain the quality of the colleges -no one else is likely to do so. You hold the key to thefuture of the profession.

Ask yourself if, with a clear conscience, you canappeal to those outside of the profession to help youbuild new schools and undertake large expansion pro-grams for the existing colleges unless you are givingyour utmost. You will play the vital part in forming avisionary program which will meet the needs of thecolleges in the future. When your sons and daughtersare ready to enter an osteopathic college will it beready for them? This will be your opportunity to havethe satisfaction of being part of something great andgood. We cannot ask others to do for us that which wewill not do for ourselves.

You are the stockholders in this profession. Youhave a vested interest in its future and hold the balancesheet in your hand. You will reap the profits - or sharein the loss. You are the greatest asset. Only by yourcontinuing investment in this profession, through yoursupport of its colleges, can you meet the challenge ofthe future.

I found a poem, written by William Allen Drom-goode, called "The Bridge Builder" which, I hope,illustrates how important it is for those who have goneahead to help those who will follow after.

An old man, going along the highway,Came, at the evening cold and gray,To a chasm vast and deep and .wide,The old man crossed in the t'wilight dim.The sullen stream had no fear for him;But he turned, vwhen safe on the other side,And built a bridge to span the tide.

"Old Man," said a fellow pilgrim near,"You are wasting your time building here;Your journey wuill end with the ending day,You 'will never again pass this way;You've crossed the chasm, deep and wide,Why build this bridge at evening tide?"

The builder lifted his old gray head;"Good Friend, in the path I have come," he said,"There followed after me todayA youth whose feet must pass this 'way.This chasm that has been as naught to meTo that fair haired youth may a pitfall be,He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;Good friend, I am building this bridge for him."

You are members of a profession of which you canbe very proud. Never has the future looked so bright.New colleges are being planned. Those in existence noware being expanded, government grants are being in-

10

creased, drug companies are subsidizing postgraduatecourses. We are just coming over the horizon of agreat future ahead. Public trust is being extended asevidenced by the fact that, where osteopathy used to befrom tenth to fifteenth on the list of health services to beconsidered regarding federal health legislation, NOWthe list shows osteopathy to be second. The list goes -medicine, osteopathy, dentistry, public health, and so on.I hope you all feel the same pride that I do in being a partof this exciting profession. Ahead of you lies the promisedland filled with hundreds of thousands of patients waitingfor the best health care available. You can contribute totheir well-being more than anyone else, and all theselong years of study won't seem so bad after all.

The Osteopathic Progress Fund has been in existencesince 1946. Since that time, over $11 million has beengiven by the members of this profession in support ofthe colleges and osteopathic education. Dr. Earl Lyons,the chairman of the AOA OPF committee, asked me tobring his greetings to you. I'd like to quote a fewof his recent statements. "The future and security ofthe osteopathic profession are synonymous with thefuture and security of osteopathic education." "Withservice comes sacrifice - we have tasted both. We shallaccept the challenge and go forward." "The need of thecolleges is great, but our need of the colleges is evengreater." "Our future is secure with strong colleges -let's make them strong - keep them strong - and supportthem with the dignity of purpose for which they werefounded.' "

The Osteopathic Progress Fund stands not only onthe record of money contributed through it to the col-leges, but also for the support of osteopathic educationin all its phases. It means helping to educate the publicto what an osteopathic physician really is - his qualifica-tions, his years of study, his postgraduate work, andwhy he can offer better health care than any otherphysician. It means encouraging high school and collegestudents to enter the field of osteopathic medicine and toactively participate in vocational guidance programs.It means helping to find outstanding teachers to upholdthe high standards of medical education. Above all, itmeans giving moral as well as financial support to ourteaching institutions.

What part can you, as wives, pursue in helping tosecure the future of the profession? First of all, youare your husband's greatest public relations asset, orliability. It is largely up to you whether your husbandmakes a success in his area of practice or whether hefails. The years ahead may not always be easy - but therewards are great - if you stand behind your husbandand his profession and encourage him in all possible waysto believe in what he is doing - and how important itis for him to support his college in thought, word, anddeed.

As a future member of an affiliated auxiliary, whatrole will you choose? I hope that every one of you willbe active auxiliary members. You will feel a rapportamong these women that you will find nowhere else.They will be glad to help you in any way they can.There is something about the wives of members of thisprofession that never ceases to amaze me. One has tohave had something extra special to have chosen thisprofession in the first place - and, I swear, all thosedoctors (D.O.'s) who did, chose extra special wives.Most auxiliaries are active in many fields. The AAOAhas an outstanding scholarship program which hasawarded at least ten scholarships to entering freshman

Past Chairman of the Osteopathic Progress Fund of theAuxiliary to the American Osteopathic Association

students each year and continues through the sophomoreyear if the need and grades are still there. The auxiliaryhas taken on the responsibility of the Christmas Seal pro-gram the last few years and record contributions havebeen received. Support of the colleges is the most im-portant job of the AAOA OPF committee because with-out our colleges no scholarships, student loans or reseachmonies would have any purpose.

In the May "OPF Newsletter", Dr. Lyons statesthat OPF is $121,807.45 ahead of last year at this time.This shows fantastic support by the members of theprofession and their abiding faith in the future. Seventy-five percent of the members are already on the 'SupportThrough Dues' program which is tax deductible. Ican't think of a better way for you to spend your money.

Let us consider three words of challenge: "longitude,""latitude," and "attitude." "Longitude" in the osteopath-ic profession might mean the heights to which we canaspire. There is no reason why those who believe in theprinciples of osteopathic medicine will not be in themajority in the years to come. The challenge is exciting.New colleges will be built; the expansion plans for thepresent colleges realized; and osteopathic physicians theleaders in all fields of health care.

The word "latitude" might be thought of as thetremendous number of patients throughout the lengthand breadth of our land who are alive today and willcontinue to live healthy, happy lives as the result ofhaving the best possible health care. It is a challengingword, since it means that more osteopathic physiciansmust be trained to give that kind of health care.

"Attitude" is the most important of all. The sincerityof your belief in the osteopathic principles and the willing-ness to demonstrate that belief in every thought, word,and deed, is fundamental to the future of each osteopathicphysician and his family as well as to the profession itself.It is up to you.
