Chief of Chaplains, United States Air Force, will bethe speaker at the Senior Banquet, which will be heldThursday, June 3, at 7:00 P.M. at the Hotel Saveryin Des Moines.

Chaplain Taylor received a Bachelor of Arts Degreefrom Baylor University, Waco, Texas, in 1933; a Masterof Theology Degree from Southwestern Baptist Seminary,Fort Worth, Texas, in 1936; a Doctor of TheologyDegree from Southwestern Baptist Seminary in 1939;an honorary Doctor of Laws Degree from Atlanta LawSchool, Atlanta, Georgia, on June 1, 1961; an honoraryDoctor of Divinity Degree from Tarkio College, Tarkio,Missouri, on April 15, 1963; and an honorary Doctor ofDivinity Degree from Baylor University, Waco, Texas,on May 24, 1963.

Prior to entering military service in September, 1940,Chaplain Taylor served as pastor of the South FortWorth Baptist Church. His first military assignment wasas Post Chaplain at Barksdale Field, Louisiana, in thegrade of first lieutenant.

He was next assigned as Regimental Chaplain of the31st Infantry Regiment, Philippine Division. He arrivedin Manila in May, 1941. He was the only chaplain as-signed to this regiment which was stationed at famed

Cuartel de Espano, within the old historic "Walled City"of Manila. With the declaration of war, the PhilippineDivision was transferred to the front lines on the Penin-sula of Bataan. Chaplain Taplor was cited for braveryand awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in action forhis services in the Battle of Bataan.

At the surrender of the American forces there, he be-came a member of the part of the "Death March" whichled from Bataan through the streets of Manila, to theprison camp approximately eight miles east of Cabana-tuan. He served as chaplain in the prison camp hospitalat Cabanatuan where he ministered to more than 10,000patients. In the summer of 1944, he spent fourteen weeksin solitary confinement for smuggling food and medicineto the patients. He was later taken to Japan and Man-churia on one of the infamous "hellships" which wasbombed twice by American planes with a loss of over athousand lives. During the second bombing, ChaplainTaylor was struck in the wrist and leg by flying frag-ments. Ironically, he was not awarded a Purple Heartsince he was wounded by our own forces.

Chaplain Taylor is the only chaplain still in militaryservice who survived the horrors of 42 months of Japaneseprison camps.

Following his liberation, Chaplain Taylor was assignedin January, 1946 as Deputy Staff Chaplain, HeadquartersArmy Air Forces Training Command at Barksdale Field,Louisiana, the base he had left five and a half yearsearlier for the Philippines.

Prior to his assignment in December, 1957 as Chiefof the Personnel Division, Office, Chief of Air ForceChaplains, Chaplain Taylor served as Wing Chaplain,Mather Air Force Base, California; Deputy Staff Chap-lain, Air Material Command, Wright-Patterson AirForce Base, Ohio; Chaplain for Civil Air Patrol Head-quarters, Washington, D. C.; and Staff Chaplain ofthe Air University, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama.

College ToursEach year many people visit COMS to see the edu-

cational facilities available. During the past two monthsalone, nearly 100 people have toured the College. Thetours are of special interest to teachers because duringthem they gather information which is useful in develop-ing an understanding of the osteopathic profession and inguiding students toward medical careers. Biology teach-ers often bring their classes so that students may see theapplication of what they have learned and view instru-ments and specimens which are not available in thehigh school.

In addition, the osteopathic orientation toward medi-cine is presented to the touring group. Faculty membersexplain about the College and its philosophy and empha-size the quality of the education which the osteopathicphysician receives. Student doctors guide the tours, pro-vide personal insights into the education they are re-ceiving, explain what the group is viewing, and answerquestions (there are usually many.) The AOA's film,"The American Doctor," is shown, further helping thegroup understand the distinctiveness of osteopathic medi-cine.

Many take advantage of this educational service.Many more would do so if physicians would encourageteachers and group leaders to visit the osteopathic col-leges and see at first hand what osteopathic education is.Tours of the colleges are an excellent way to help thepublic understand the profession and to encourage youngpeople to become osteopathic physicians.

Arrangements should be made with the colleges inadvance so that faculty members may be notified, guidesarranged, and demonstrations prepared.

OBSTETRICS and GYNECOLOGY:

A Major Part of the Osteopathic Physician's EducationPreparing Him for an Important Part of His Future Practice

Students at the College of Osteopathic Medicine andSurgery obtain clinical experience in the obstetrical andgynecological service associated with the outpatient clinicand the hospital.

The first clinical experience, which is very importantto the student of osteopathic medicine, begins in hisjunior year when the Department of Obstetrics assignshim his first clinical patients. Classroom lectures andwork in the laboratory during the previous two yearshave prepared him for this day. During the sophomoreyear he has had an introduction to Obstetrics and Gyne-cology and, in addition, a workshop course.

The workshop course was added to the sophomoreobstetrics curriculum at the beginning of the presentschool year. It aims at acquainting the student with theduties and hospital routines that he will participate inwhen he assumes his clinical practice in his junior year.In this introduction to hospital procedure, the studentsees how the obstetrician, the anesthesiologist, the pedia-trician, and the nurses and other participants in a deliverycarry out their respective jobs. He learns sterile techniqueas practiced in the delivery room, and methods of work-ing in the sterile operating field, as well as ways ofgowning, gloving, and handling sterile drapes. "We feelthat the student will be better equipped to handle him-self and his patients and to carry on the routine pro-cedures in the delivery room because of his previous ex-perience offered by this workshop," says Dr. Elizabeth A.Burrows, Chairman of the Department of Obstetricsand Gynecology at the College of Osteopathic Medicineand Surgery.

Dr. Burrows, who is both an obstetrician and a surg-eon, has been chairman of the department for the pastseven years. She received her certification as a specialistin Obstetrics and Gynecology in 1951, and in Obstetricaland Gynecological Surgery in 1963, from the certifyingboard of the American College of Osteopathic Obstet-ricians and Surgeons.

She is intensely interested in osteopathic medicine ingeneral and in her specialty in particular, followingkeenly the scientific sessions of her specialty college. Hermany hours spent with students in the classroom andin the clinic have marked her as a truly dedicated teacher.

As the junior student assumes the responsibility ofpatient care, Dr. Burrows supervises him closely. Thestudent not only takes care of his patient's health prob-

lems previous to her delivery, but also becomes a memberof a four-man team that assists in other deliveries. As amember of this team, always under close supervision, heassumes the duties of obstetrican, anesthesiologist, pedia-trician, and roust. Thus, he gains an insight into theresponsibilities of each member of the delivery roomstaff. He can readily see the coordinated effort requiredto afford both mother and child the best of hospital care.

Besides the clinical experience, the junior student hasadditional classroom work in obstetrics and gynecology,as well as a heavy academic schedule in other fields ofmedicine.

During the fourth year of his education as an osteo-pathic physician, the student spends six months in clinicalwork. Part of this time is spent in the specialty clinicof obstetrics and gynecology. The remaining six monthsare spent at two teaching hospitals. Four such hospitals,in addition to College Hospital, are affiliated with theCollege of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery.* For aportion of this hospital time, the student is assigned tothe obstetrical service of the particular hospital wherehe assists in the delivery of patients.

In the majority of cases, this educational experienceis repeated after the student receives the degree, Doctorof Osteopathy, and is licensed to practice osteopathicmedicine. As an intern, a portion of his training againis in obstetrical service. However, as a licensed physicianhe assumes a more responsible role in connection withhis duties. Often, also, his duties include the teachingof junior students.

Starting in practice, the physician finds that muchof his patient load is obstetrical cases- a fact which doesmuch to aid him, as a new doctor, to build a practicein his community. It has been estimated that the practi-ioner will average eighteen hundred deliveries in hisyears of practice. In light of these facts, the instructorsstrive to impress upon the student doctor that the studyof obstetrics, like all his studies in the medical disciplines,must be thorough; that only through many years ofstudy and of hospital service will he gain competencein the obstetrical portion of his practice, and that theroad to competence is long.

Address to theGraduates

by MARVIN M. SCHMIDT

Due to the fact that the 1964 June issue of the Log Book went to press before comninencement, the colnmmencementaddress was not printed. However, we have received several requests that this excellent address be printed.

Since this year [1964] is the 400th birthday of Wil-liam Shakespeare, it should be permissible to use afigure of speech from the theater in summarizing whatI shall say to you during the next few minutes. Foreach member of this class the curtain is just now des-cending on the second act of a drama which has otheracts yet to come. The first act took you through infancyand preparatory education to the threshold of this pro-fessional school. The second act ends at this ceremony,as you exit to the wings with diploma at long lastclutched safely in your hand. This act, I am sure, hasoften seemed endless, tortured, and its result uncertain.But, somehow or other, you have gotten this far andare facing up to the rest of the show. No playwright -from Aeschylus to Arthur Miller -ever contrived onelike it.

There will be, of course, a certain continuity of plotfrom the earlier acts to those ahead, because "nothingfrom nothing ever yet was born" and each of us livestomorrow in practically the same skin he wears today.However, no one - whether yourself or others - knowsexactly what lines you will be called upon to speak, orwhat action you will be required to execute, or whatthe mixture of tragedy and comedy and melodrama willbe, or how the play will end, or even how many actsthere will be. Of only this can you and we be certain;first, what lies behind was mostly prologue; and, secondly,in the remaining acts you will play three simultaneousroles, being at the same time the practitioner of a pro-fession, a citizen, and a human being. It is to these threeroles, and their interrelationships, that I would directyour attention.

In your professional role you are entering the rankof an elite. By every measurement of status - both super-ficial and basic doctors of the healing arts enjoy apreferred position in American culture. Entry into theirfraternity is difficult and membership is limited; exact-ing intellectual and ethical standards are rigidly main-tained; economic rewards are generous; acceptance intowhat sociologists call the "power structure" of a com-munity is virtually automatic. To a degree unequalledby the business man, the teacher, the clergyman, thelawyer or anyone else, the doctor - in modern America- acquires a security of position in the social schemesimply by reason of the occupation he follows. Tr hedoctor enjoys, almost uniquely, a virtual immunity fromwhat is said to be the most widely shared anxiety inour industrial economy -the anxiety that most peopleseem to feel about their own identity and significance.

Whatever other worries a doctor may have, this oneleaves him untouched. He knows who he is and he knowsthat he is significant - partly because our whole civili-zation places a supremely high rating on the value ofthe services which he performs.

Hence, the young doctor - however burdened hemay be with debt and however restless he may feel overthe length and difficulty of his training- enters thethird act of the drama of his life, unharassed by thefear of facelessness and nonentity which so often sapsthe self-confidence of the fledgling engineer, managementtrainee, and so forth.

A quantitative measure of the preferred place thatawaits you is provided by the vast investment which theAmerican public willingly makes in health services. Ac-cording to a recently published study, one out of everyeleven dollars spent for personal consumption in theUnited States goes to doctors, hospitals, druggists andothers ministering to this sector of the needs of thenation. Total outlays for health purposes now approach$33 billion per year and are almost seventy-five percentlarger than they were in 1950. Medical prices in thedecade of the '50's rose more than twice as fast as con-sumer prices generally, and medical prices approximatelydoubled in the years from 1940 to 1959, while -at thesame time - the average doctor was also doubling thenumber of patients he was able to see. Small wonder,then, that the net annual income of the average doctoris now about six times what it was in 1936. While it istrue that incomes of most kinds have risen sharply dur-ing the last quarter-century, the fact remains that themedical profession has won relatively greater financialfains than the run of Americans.

There are many reasons for this phenomenon. Threevery important ones are: first, health insurance programsand public payment of many medical services for thepoor have eliminated most of the uncollectible bills thatformerly haunted physicians; second, treatment withmodern drugs often requires much less time than oldermethods; and, finally, contact with patients is largelyconcentrated in hospitals and the doctor's own clinic oroffice.

To one like myself, trained in the classical doctrineof supply and demand, there is another highly significantreason for the happy condition of medical economicstoday. This reason, which also contains a worrisomeelement of danger, is the relatively static number ofmedical practitioners for a rapidly growing populationthat desires more and more health care on a per capita

10

basis. The many kinds of complex difficulties in the pathof filling our need for expanded medical education fa-cilities lie beyond the scope of this occasion.

But there is no doubt of the need; simply to main-tain the present ratio of one physician to approximately700 Americans will require an annual increase of aboutfifty percent in the number of medical school graduatesby 1975 - in other words, an expansion from 7,000graduates per year now to 10,500 within a decade. Nowonder that one authority in this field - George Bugbee,Director of the Health Information Foundation at theUniversity of Chicago - has said recently: "The publichas a great stake in medical education. Such educationmust equip the student to apply the vast and shiftingbody of scientific knowledge in the treatment of diseaseand also must give the student understanding of socialchange if the profession is to exercise leadership in or-ganizing medical care to meet the public need."

Here in Iowa we have particular reason to be con-cerned about the inadequate supply of physicians - areason which has special relevance to you as osteopathicdoctors. Acute as the physician shortage may be nation-ally, it is dramatically oppressive in Iowa, and no lessthan dangerously so in the less urbanized parts of thestate. Far from even holding our own, we are steadilylos ng ground in meeting the needs of Iowa communitiesfor medical practitioners. The number of physicians herehas dwindled from more than 3,000 in 1957 to only2,800 at the present time - or an average of one doctorfor each 1,000 of population, in contrast to the nationalaverage of one to 700. For practically all of the statethe situation is really much worse than those figuresreveal, because twenty-five percent of the doctors inIowa are closely packed in just two centers - DesMoines and Iowa City. For the rest of the state theratio is one doctor to more than 1,200 persons, and un-questionably the ratio rises to one for 2,000 in manyrural regions.

This mal-distribution of medical professions is largelya reflex of the constantly increasing movement intospecialized branches of the art and the consequentpauperization of general practice. The ranks of theGP's have already shrunk so much that there is nowonly one of them for every 1,700 Americans, with aglum estimate that 1975 will find 2,700 people dependenton each general practitioner, even though eighty percentof all illnesses and injuries are cared for by these in-dispensable family doctors.

Warnings about this situation have begun to reachalmost alarm proportions. George Bugbee of the HealthInformation Foundation puts the case this way: "Thosewho contemplate the future of medical practice cannot butbe concerned with the many critical problems to be faced;a most consequential one, for the consumer, being asufficient number of physicians properly trained and will-ing to act as family medical counselors. This is par-ticularly important," he concludes, "with an aging popu-lation suffering over the years with chronic illness."

Much blunter in his comment only a month ago wasthe new president of the American Academy of GeneralPractice, Dr. Julius Michaelson of Foley, Alabama. Ad-dressing his colleagues in Atlantic City, Dr. Michaelsonsaid that many medical colleges "do not know how toproduce a general practitioner. Students coming outof the medical schools have not been taught basic medicalknowledge, and too many of the schools are pre-occupiedwith specialization and research work."

It is for persistent and remarkably successful effortsto meet the crying need for general practitioners thatthis College and the osteopathic profession deserveand increasingly are receiving - the warm gratitude ofAmericans generally, and of Iowans in particular. With-out by any means neglecting the training of specialistsand research workers, osteopathy - to its great gloryand mankind's great benefit - is sending more thanseventy percent of its graduates into general practice,where the unmet wants are so desperate and the satis-factions - in human terms -are so great.

As one vitally concerned with the economic growth ofIowa, realizing the importance of fostering such growthin so-called rural areas, and understanding that adequatehealth facilities are an absolute pre-requisite to the lo-cation of industries in our smaller towns, I am deeplygrateful to Dr. McLaughlin, his colleagues and themembers of the osteopathic profession for their vigorousattention to the general practice problem. Many Iowacommunities, like other small towns all over the country,are permanent debtors of organized osteopathy for itshelp in supplying them with competent doctors, properlyprepared for the general practice that awaits them.

And, may I say to you, as new graduates, that theuniversal call for GP's - raised most widely and in-sistently in agriculturally oriented states like this- spellsalmost limitless opportunity for you. Financial backing,clinical facilities and homes will be provided for youngdoctors by progressive towns everywhere, offering alsoand beyond attractive material rewards - the deepestsatisfaction a human being can know: the consciousness ofbeing needed and wanted.

That consciousness belongs to the "unseen world"which St. Paul called Eternal, and wherein - as JohnDonne, the poet, pointed out - "No man is an island."One aspect of this realm of "values," as contrasted withthe realm of "things," brings us to the second of thethree roles which, as I told you earlier, you will playthroughout the remaining acts of your personal drama.I refer to your role as a citizen - a rcle which osteo-pathy has recognized from its beginning as a role neces-sary for the good physician to play, because it is statedin your osteopathic oath: "I will be ever vigilant inaiding the general welfare of the community, sustainingits laws and institutions." No profession worthy of thename can escape such a commitment.

A distinguished leader in another field - Dean Townof the College of Engineering at Iowa State University- has summed up this requirement for all of us whoare professional people. In Dean Town's words: "Oneof the distinguishing marks of a profession is that itsmembers recognize that they have certain responsibilitiesto society. Often these responsibilities are spelled out ina formal code of ethics. A study of this code is some-times a prescribed part of the education of persons study-ing to enter these professions; or, at least, the studentsare frequently reminded of the existence of the codethrough seminars or case studies." You in osteopathy aremeeting this test of responsible professionalism as de-fined by a great engineer.

Now it remains for each of you entering your pro-fession - as it rests upon all of us in the fellowship ofthe professions - to project into reality what you havebeen taught by precept and example. Those of you for-tunate enough to enter general practice will rapidly findthe specifics of citizenship becoming an inseparable partof your daily lives - and rewardingly so. You will be

caught up in the warm embrace of service clubs, churchand youth activities, town councils, study and planninggroups. You will also, I trust, become concerned withthe conduct of county, state and national affairs, whichwill necessarily lead you to identification with one ofthe political parties through which our form of govern-ment functions. This much it is no longer difficult fora doctor to do, and one of the great gains for public af-fairs in recent times has been the emergence of physiciansfrom the cocoon of political neuterism in which theprofession traditionally had wrapped itself. American lifegenerally is the better for your quickened concern aboutstandards of legislation and government personnel, asyou have become aware that your own world no longerstands aloof from their influence. Doctors increasinglyare found in the ranks of party workers, committee mem-bers and convention delegates. They remain a rarity ascandidates for office, but the few who have won theirstripes in campaign battles like former congressmanJudd of Minnesota have served with distinction. Youwill be well advised to prepare yourselves for a greatermeasure of public activity than doctors have ever experi-enced in the past.

Your concern for the general welfare in a civic sensewill be but part of a still broader concern which shouldcome easily to everyone accepting the osteopathic phi-losophy of man "as a complete and integrated organism."Narrowness and parochialism are utterly incompatiblewith a philosophy which says that the focus of osteopathicresearch is "man, the unique organism, growing fromhis environment and yet a part of it - man, reacting andadapting to the forces which surround him -man, theproduct of change." It is also written in the philosophyof osteopathy that "solving problems of disease is notthe same thing as creating health and happiness. Thistask," your philosophy proceeds to say, "demands a kindof wisdom and vision which transcends specialized know-ledge of remedies and treatments and which apprehendsin all their complexities and subtleties the relation be-tween living things and their total environment."

In the light of this noble and spacious vision, it isnot surprising to note that your curriculum has includedheavy emphasis on "human ecology." That is a stirringterm, built upon the Greek work Oikos, which meanshouse. Human ecology, then, is the study of the house-the universe - that man inhabits. To have gainedentry to that house which man inhabits is, of all thetreasures you have acquired in this college, surely themost precious. And to be at home in man's house is tobe well prepared for the third role which I told you toexpect in the remaining acts of your life's drama: therole of the human being.

A truly human being is much more than a competentor even a brilliant craftsman, for in purely technical skillthe best of craftsmen is now less competent than themachine he creates. A truly human being is somethingmore than a conscientious and public spirited citizen,praiseworthy as the role of citizen certainly is. A trulyhuman being is alive to the insights and the commentarieson man's condition which only the arts can provide: greatnovels, poetry, the theater, music, the dance, and plasticand graphic representations. In its own way and true tothe genius of its own medium, each art form remindsus of truths that abide unchanged by scientific discoveryand technological innovation: the truth that each ofus -behind the tumult and the shouting and the groupactivity - lives alone, and that the triumphs of love and

affection and perhaps of creativeness through which wesometimes escape from solitude are pools of light thatwe make for ourselves in a universe otherwise still darklycloaked with mystery. To understand the message of thearts is to come to terms with life and to be able to liveit better.

No one in our times, I must confess, has stated thiscase more eloquently or accurately than the late Presi-dent Kennedy, in words for each of us to make his own:

"When power leads man toward arrogance,poetry reminds him of his limitations. Whenpower narrows the areas of man's concern,poetry reminds him of the richness and diversityof his existence. When power corrupts, poetrycleanses.

"For Art," continued Mr. Kennedy, "estab-lishes the basic human truths which must serveas the touchstones of our judgment. The artist,however faithful to his personal vision of reality,becomes the last champion of the individual mindand sensibility against our intrusive society andour officious state."

It is the grasp of this truth which leads the educatedman - and very often the educated man with the bestscientific training - to reach out for those experienceswhich the arts alone provide. In his mastery of the scien-tific method, such a man has come to understand thatthe arts incorporate the essence of a free society andthat they embody the endless search for new ways ofexpressing the experience of the present and the visionof the future.

As you await the curtain call for the next act in thedrama which bears your name, let me bid you to playit not only as an honored practitioner of your profession,not only as a worthy and participating citizen, but alsoas a human being engaged lifelong in the quest of allthat is truly good, true, beautiful, and wise.

Just over 25 years ago Dr. Byron E. Laycock joinedthe faculty of COMS as an associate professor in whatis now the Department of Osteopathic Principles andPractice. He was graduated from the Kansas City Col-lege of Osteopathy and Surgery in January of 1937,and served as an instructor there for three years beforecoming to COMS.

He has had a part in the education of nearly 1,200osteopathic physicians through his teaching at COMS,and has influenced countless others through his bookA Manual of Joint Manipulation, published in 1953.

Perhaps more important than his actual teaching isthe example he has set to young physicians through hispersonal dedication as a practitioner of the profession.Dr. Laycock is always to be found in his office early,he is always willing to help anyone, and he is alwayscheerful -a most important trait for a physician.

Dr. Laycock expresses his appreciation to those whojoined in honoring him at the end of his twenty-fifthyear at COMS. However, all will agree that the thanksreally go to him for all that he has done for the profes-sion, and simply for being himself.

Above are pictured some of the moments of his years

as a teacher, as a practitioner of the profession, and asthe jovial D.O. whom many choose to call "Mr. Osteo-pathy."

Major General Robert P. Taylor, Chief of Chaplains

of the United States Air Force, was the guest speaker for

the Senior Banquet. He spoke on "The World We Live

In," saying that it was both a world of change and a

world of challenge. "No people of any age in the history

changes which have taken place in living habits, speed of

travel, and scientific accomplishments as we have experi-

enced in the last twenty years."

He pointed out that "Today's world has great chal-

lenges for those with the courage and concern to meet

them." He commented on challenges that threaten our

way of life; such as racial conflicts, poverty, commnunism,

materialism. and cornmlacencv.

He stated that we are challenged also by the things - eChaplain, lMajor General Robert P. T aylo

that enrich our way of life, such as freedom, our institu- of Chaplains of the United States Air For

tions, and patriotism; and by the things that sustain our the banquet address, "The World We L,

way of life, our religious heritage, our spiritual resources,

and commitment to worthy goals.

In conclusion, he said that ". . . our success in meet-

ing the challenges of our world will be measured by the

extent of courage, quality of judgment, depth of integrity,

and fullness of dedication and commitment to the service

of our nation."

during the past fouryears, to the final andall important testthat being our serviceto mankind. Fouryears have been spentin diligent study, real-izing that our serviceto mankind must bethe all important guidein our lives.

Senior ClassFarewell

never forget the many experiences we have shared overthese past memorable years.

To the members of the faculty we owe our deepestgratitude for their time, effort and sacrifice in sharingwith us their knowledge and mature experiences. Forwithout this faculty we would not be prepared to enterthe practice of osteopathic medicine. WXe owe thanks alsoto our families and friends who have stood by our sidethrough these years of sacrifice and learning.

As physicians of today we must continue our workfor the preservation and betterment of our College usingthe same vigor with which we have acted in the precedingfour Vears.

HERE AND THERE CO.M.S. ALUMNIJEAN STRUEBER, Alumni Editor

1903

Dr. T. J. Ruddy, Los Angeles, California,wrote to us in April. We quote part of the lastparagraph.

"I remain at 90 years and six months, doingosteopathic manipulative therapy to as many as4 & 5 patients per hour the top half of the day."

Dr. Ruddy, an Honorary Life Member of AOA,is a fellow of the Osteopathic College of Opthal-rnology and Otorhinolaryngology and of the Amer-ican College of Osteopathic Surgeons.

At the winter seminar of the Los Angeles Acad-emny of Applied Osteopathy Dr. Ruddy presenteda day-long program on "Segmental Man," includ-ing eight hours of lectures with colored slides andosteopathic corrective manipula:ion.

1905

Dr. Walter V. Goodfellow wrote from SantaBarbara, California. We quote the first and last

paragraphs fron his letter."I have been toying with the idea of flying back

there to be at the banquet which will honor theclasses whose date ends in 5 or 0. It seems, how-ever, rather impractical for one 85 years old totake such a long trip for such a short visit. I'm,therefore, taking the easier way of expressing mypride and satisfaction in my Alma-Mater, by send-ing you my greetings this easier way. I wouldappreciate having my greetings passed on to anyof my classmates, especially, and the others atthe banquet.

"The sound basic principles of Osteopathy areneeded to correct the misconception that drugs curedisease. Medicine must bear the responsibility forthe tremendous tonnage of drugs consumed by thepublic in the vain hope of getting and remainingwell."

1908

We quote parts of two letters received in Mayfrom Dr. Andrew McCauley of Idaho Falls, Idaho.

"Received your invitation to attend graduationexercises and thank you very much. Sorry I can'tbe there.

"My class of 'The Big Three' graduated June6, 1908. I am the only survivor, and so far as I

know probably the only one alive of the class of16 members who entered D.M.S.C.O. in September1905."

"It is a sad day for a great modern method oftherapy to lose its recognition due to the graduatesof osteopathic colleges being too lazy or ashamedof being a D.O. that they will not practice whatis best for their patients.

"Since 1908 when I graduated from Des MoinesCollege of Osteopathy I have witnessed all thefads and so-called cures of disease come and goin the practice of medicine. The wonder drugssaved the old school from oblivion, but now thenew drugs have so many side effects and contra-indications that many are in disrepute. Specificdrugs with few side effects or contraindicationsare wonderful when not used as cure-alls. Heavenpity humanity when all doctors give shots for thepatients money and not for the cure of his disease.Socialized medicine is the inevitable result withmedicare on its way in Congress."

1923

"Observations"JOSEPH B. BAKER, D.O.*

Good morning, Gentlemen. It is a distinct honor andprivilege for me to be present with you this morning.I bring you greetings from the National Alumni Associa-tion of this College, from the Iowa Society of Osteopath-ic Physicians and Surgeons, and from the AmericanCollege of General Practitioners in Osteopathic Medicineand Surgery.

It is not my intention to confuse you with a greatnumber of facts and figures, but merely to present toyou some new ideas for your consideration. First, letme review with you the main purpose of your being here.You are being given the privilege and opportunity ofattending one of the finest osteopathic medical in-stitutions in the world to complete the requirementsleading to your earning the degree, Doctor of Osteopathy.

Now, where do you go from here? Naturally to servean internship in a hospital approved for internship train-ing by the American Osteopathic Association. Then comesthe big decision - shall I pursue a residency leadingto certification in one of the osteopathic specialitycolleges, or shall I enter the speciality of general practiceand utilize not just a portion, but most of the knowledgethat I am being exposed to in this institution? Yes, gentle-men, I said speciality of general practice. This may strikeyou as peculiar that I refer to general practice as aspeciality in an era when de-emphasization and down-grading of the general practitioner appear to be the orderof the day. Let us put the record straight, gentlemen, weneed both the general practitioner and the specialist.

What are the objects of the general practitioner? Themodern general practitioner must be trained to uphold andadvance the standards of general practice in the field ofosteopathic medicine and surgery by encouraging and im-proving educational opportunities for general practitionersin all branches of the profession. He is obligated to pro-mote a better general understanding of the scope of theservices rendered by the general practitioner and of hisrelationship to other speciality groups and their practi-tioners. The general practitioner must promote andmaintain the highest moral and ethical standards in thepractice of osteopathic medicine and surgery. And last,but not least, he must contribute to the interest of hiscollege and the profession, by functioning and maintainingcurrent membership in his district, state, and national os-teopathic organizations. This, gentlemen, is your purposeand your heritage.

There exists a body of organized knowledge that weall know as "medicine," and I quote and repeat the state-ment of our A.O.A. president, "This body of knowledge,techniques, principles and beliefs has been slowly andpainfully developed during all the centuries of historyof mankind. Each new bit of information had to bedefended, tried and tested for years before it was eitheraccepted or rejected.

"People from all walks of life contributed to thebuilding of this body of organized knowledge: chemists,physicists, midwives, priests, physiologists, herb doctors,physicians, barbers, druggists, professors, lawyers, execu-tioners, bacteriologists, judges and thieves. The slowdevelopment of this body of organized knowledge known

as medicine was the result of slow cultural evolution, andwas the product of the culture itself.

"The body of organized knowledge known as medicinedoes not belong to the physi-cians any more than dramabelongs to the actors, or artbelongs to the painters, orreligion belongs to the clergy-men.

"One of the most danger-ous myths of our times is themyth that medicine belongs tothe doctors of medicine. Thismyth has been so assiduouslycultivated and sold to thegeneral public that one of themost common questions askedthe osteopathic physician is'How does osteopathic med-icine differ from medicine?'This question makes as muchsense as the question, 'Howdo robins differ from birds,or how does skiing differ fromsports ?'

"The people are the proprietors of medicine, they arethe protectors of it, they are the judges of the mannerin which it is used, and they determine the people whocan apply it. Physicians are those [individuals] trainedand licensed by the people and charged with the responsi-bility of applying this body of knowledge to the healthproblems of the people. Physicians provide a service; theyare the performers, the users of medicine.

"It is not surprising that human beings often differin their views and interpretations of the same body ofknowledge. We have two kinds of educators, the tradi-tional and the progressive; two or more schools of thedance, the classical and the modern; we have manyschools of painters - cubism, classical, impressionism,etc. In each instance all the participants have availableto them the same body of organized knowledge. It shouldnot be surprising that there should be two schools ofphysicians, the Allopathic school of medicine and theOsteopathic school of medicine.

"The two schools of medicine, the Allopathic and theOsteopathic, have the same common goal, the improve-ment of health care of the people. No difference betweenthe two groups should ever be allowed to obscure thecommon objective."

With these things to consider, let us now ponder fora few minutes on practice after training - where togo, and what to do. Every state society, and particularlythe I.S.O.P.S., maintains a constant and up-to-datelisting of practice locations and opportunities. Beforecommitting yourself to the cities, let me open youreyes just a little to the opportunities afforded the youngdoctor in our smaller communities. Truly some of oursmaller communities give the newcomer or visitor theinitial impression that there should be swinging doors atthe town's entrance, and one might even conceivablyvisualize Matt Dillon and Chester on the town square,

NEW CORPORATE BOARD MEMBERSDr. Robert J. Hindman, of

Plymouth, Michigan, is one of twosenior members in the Departmentof Anesthesia at Garden City - Ridge-wood Osteopathic Hospitals. Healternately serves as head of the de-partment.

Dr. Hindman was graduatedfrom COMS in 1951, and subse-quently served an internship andanesthesiology residency at RiversideHospital in Trenton, Michigan.

He is a member of the AmericanCollege of Osteopathic Anesthesi-ologists and a Diplomate of theAmerican Osteopathic Board of An-esthesiology.

Richard L. Bryan, ExecutiveVice-President of Des Moines Savingsand Loan Association, is a graduateof Iowa State University with adegree in engineering. He joined theDes Moines Savings and Loan As-sociation in 1954.

Mr. Bryan has worked quiteactively with Boy Scouts, and isthe Immediate Past-President of theTall Corn Council in Iowa.

He served as a paratrooper in the17th Airborne Division in Europeduring World War II.

Dr. J. Paul Leonard, of Detroit,Michigan, is a 1925 COMS graduate.He is Chairman of the Board ofTrustees and President of the DetroitOsteopathic Hospital Corporation,which consists of three hospitals.

Dr. Leonard served on the AOACommittee on Hospitals for twelveyears, two years as its Chairman.He is also a past-president of theAmerican Osteopathic Hospital As-sociation and of the Michigan Os-teopathic Hospital Association.

He is certified in OrthopedicSurgery, and for the past eleven yearshas been Hospital Consultant forthe Michigan Association of Os-teopathic Physicians and Surgeons.

Dr. Leonard has assisted theMichigan Crippled Children Com-mission during the past nine years.

In addition to his many profes-sional activities, Dr. Leonard is amember of several community organi-zations.

but even Matt and Chester had to have their "Doc." Letus look just a little bit farther. The practice opportunitiesand the economic pLcential of these areas are fabulous,not to mention the challenge to one's professional trainingand capabilities. Let me emphasize one point here,gentlemen, these communities are not "First Aid" stationsfor our larger city hospitals and specialist colleagues.These communities must have a doctor or doctors capableof carrying on a practice without the omnipresence ofthe specialist as you know him. Never before have therebeen such opportunities for the young D.O. who realizeshis limitations in practice and adheres to them.

As for the future, I see nothing but the best forwhichever path you may choose. As President of theI.S.O.P.S. and as President of the National AlumniAssociation of COMS, I pledge my undivided support toyou, the incoming Freshman class, and bid you "Wel-come." We shall build a new college shortly to replaceour hallowed, but overcrowded facilities. We must,therefore, take positive action. The middle of the road

is not good enough. We have provided a CompositeBoard for you so that each of you may have the op-portunity to pass a full Physician and Surgeon licensure.

We have not sought amalgamation, we are not seekingit now, and we will not seek it in the future. We do notbelieve the American public would gain by amalgamation.The osteopathic profession today, tomorrow, as yesterday,rests its case on the acceptance by the people. We havestated, on both the national level and the state level, thedetermination of this profession to remain separate andindependent. This stand is not taken out of stubbornness,but out of conviction. We believe very profoundly thatthis profession has a unique and important contributionto make to the healing arts. This belief has been sub-stantiated literally thousands of times in our offices.

We believe the public have come to us in increasingnumbers because they expect this unique contribution ofosteopathic medicine. We must maintain this trust. Thankvou so much, gentlemen, for your very kind attention,

The Electron Microscope:An Instrument

For Study Of Subcellular StructureT1he electron microscope, which can be considered an

extension of the light microscope, has opened vast newareas of potential information to those interested in micro-scopy. Scientists and engineers began working seriouslywith the development and use of the electron scope in thelate 1930's and early 1940's. A few papers in the field ofbiological sciences appeared in scientific journals during1942. Since then, the literature has become voluminousas more laboratories have adapted the electron micro-scope to their particular research programs. Actually, thescope has moved from the status of a scientific curiosityto that of an accepted and-in many cases-required,scientific tool.

The initial cost of equipping a laboratory for researchwith a scope is almost prohibitive from an institutionalbudget level. Fortunately, however, the United StatesDepartment of Health, Education, and Welfare, has rec-ognized the value of the scope in research and, throughresearch grants from its agencies, has financed the purchaseof scopes and ancillary equipment. In addition, a fewprivate research foundations have purchased this equip-ment, and, in rarer cases, the equipment has been pur-chased from institutional funds. The scope and ancillaryequipment in use at the College of Osteopathic Medicineand Surgery were purchased through grants from A. T.Still Osteopathic Foundation and Research Institute andfrom the American Osteopathic Association Bureau ofResearch.

The electron microscope, while primarily a researchtool, is rapidly gaining popularity as a teaching device.Many of the larger universities and some of the medicalschools are including courses in electron microscopy intheir curriculums. The scope at the College of OsteopathicMedicine and Surgery is presently being used exclusivelyas a research tool. Among those using it in research areDr. Wilford L. Nusser, in connection with his studies of"Wallerian degeneration and regeneration of injuredperipheral nerves," and David Steenblock, a graduatestudent, who is working on the "Formation of fibrinoiddeposits in arteries, spleen, kidneys, etc. due to the actionof various fibrinolytic inhibiting drugs." A research proj-ect is also being carried on with Dr. Donald Bunce, II,Director of the Graduate School and Research Professorof Physiology. It is anticipated that additional projectswill be initiated as members of the faculty and graduatestudents become interested in, and properly trained for,the use of the scope.

Procedures used in preparing tissue for the electronmicroscope are similar in many respects to procedures usedin tissue preparation for the light microscope. In order toacquaint one with the similarity and differences in the twoprocedures, a short explanation of these procedures follows.

The tissue is fixed in situ when possible. If the tissueis removed prior to fixation, it must be diced into smallpieces, no larger than Imm square, and then placed intothe fixative within thirty seconds from the time of re-

moval. The fixatives used are osmium tetroxide, potassiumpermanganate, glutaraldehyde, and, occasionally, formal-dehyde. Embedding is done in plastic (methacrylate, Aral-dite, Epon, etc.) The plastic mould is placed in an ovenat 60° C for a time interval of 72 to 96 hours. The plasticis polymerized during this time. After the proper timeinterval, the block is removed from the oven and trimmed.It is then ready for sectioning. The tissue is sectioned-at 250 angstroms-with an ultra microtome using eithera glass or diamond knife. The tissue can be stained onthe grid, or used unstained. The stains generally usedare solutions of heavy metals such as uranyl acetate, orlead citrate. Pictures on page 10 show the tissue blockand grid on which the tissue is placed for use in the scope.

The image seen by the electron microscopist is createdby a stream of electrons passing through the specimen andstriking a fluorescent screen. The electrons are emitted asa beam from a filament to which a high voltage has beenapplied (50Kv) in a relative good vacuum (10-7 mmHg.). Different portions of the tissue exhibit varying de-grees of electron density: that is, the less electron-denseportions produce a lighter image on the screen than dothe more electron-dense components of the cell. The heavymetal stains precipitate on membranes, for example, andthereby increase the electron density of these membrane.The membranes appear much darker on the screen thanwould other tissue components. The image is photo-graphed on glass plates which are brought directly underthe screen by the camera mechanisms of the scope. Theinvestigator studies and evaluates the resulting photo-graphs. The information contained therein becomes thebasis for the conclusion derived from this study.

When a nerve has been crushed, the axons and theSchwann cells which serve as supporting and insulatingtissue for the axon undergo marked changes. Some of thesechanges are visible under the light microscope, but thosechanges that occur at a subcellular level and even some ofthe gross changes cannot be accurately determined unlessan electron microscope is used. For example, the lamellarnature of myelin, the basement membrane of the Schwanncell; the fact that the myelin is formed by the Schwanncell; and the fact that the myelin is actually a continua-tion of the Schwann cell membrane, were all determinedwith the electron scope. Nerve degeneration had beenstudied for approximately fifty years with the light micro-scope and none of the above observations had even beenpostulated.

The electron microscope, because of its greater resolu-tion and magnification, is being used as a tool in theidentification of cells found within the injured nervearea. The identity of the cells responsible for the finaldestruction of the debris of degeneration is still in doubt.

Identification of these cells could be of value to thephysician where peripheral nerve repair and rapid re-growth is necessary.

Preparation of tissues for viewingunder the electron microscope is adifficult and involved process. Accu-racy is necessary at all stages, fromthe selection of a glass knife to theproper development of the photo-graphic image.

Materials for use with the electron microscope are comparedin size with those for use with a light microscope. At the leftis a microtome, considerably larger than the glass knife shownat the top. The smaller grids for the electron microscope areshown in the center, as compared with the glass slide at thelower right. At the upper right is a paraffin block used forimbedding tissue for a light microscope; next to it is theplastic block used with the electron microscope.

Mrs. Susan Jerzewski prepares glass knives by cut-ting diagonally squares of glass. Finished knives areon the table beside her.

Mrs. .erzewski cuts tissue on the ultra Imicrotomi e She tusethe conventional light microscope to insure accuracy.

Dr. Wilford Nusser uses the carbon evaporator forremoving a carbon film on the grids for the electronmicroscope,

Dr. Nusser places a grid holder in the specimenchamber of the electron microscope.

Dr. Nusser with the microscope in use, demonstrates themethod of operation.

The finished product is the photographic image on a glass slide. Theactual size of the image is just under 354 inches square.

Examples of the photographicimages obtained under the electronmicroscope are these two printsmade from plates exposed in thescope. Greater enlargement facili-tates study of the smaller portionsof the images.

Dr. Dressler SpeaksAt Convocation

Displaying his usual wit and insight, Dr. OtterbeinDressier, of Southfield, Michigan, spoke to COMS stu-dents at a convocation, November 30, on his now famoussubject "The Purpose of Living."

Man, he said, is a constellation of diseases. The osteo-pathic physician should remember that at any time he isviewing only part of the constellation, yet he must teachthe ways of health to the whole man. This teaching shouldinclude the purpose of living.

In a somewhat critical light, Dr. Dressler noted thatmuch of the teaching in medical schools is related to disease."Where," he asked, "are the schools for teaching health?"Similarly, there are schools for teaching war, but none forteaching peace.

The purpose of living, he said, is to live for someoneelse; to bring joy to another. This may be done in manyways, from the giving of health by a physician, to thegiving of a simple greeting by a common person. "It isnot what you do, but why you do it" that brings the ful-fillment of the purpose.

Applied specifically to the physician, Dr. Dressler saysthat the purpose could take this form: To cause man tolive his full and normal life expectancy, in health, happi-ness, and comfort, and at peace with himself, his neighbor,and his Maker.

Dr. Otterbein Dressier, Pathologist-in-Chief at theGarden City-Ridgewood hospitals in Miichigan, talkswith COMS pathologist, Dr. Lloyd Ficke, as they lookover Dr. Dressler's book "Parking on the Other Fellow'sNickel.'
