issue of the Log Book before thegraduation of the Seniors andthe enrollment of the new class.We wonder if the full import ofthis registration day is appreci-ated by the majority of you.When the registration for thisclass closes the Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy cannotregister another student unlesshe or she comes to us with onefull year of college work in ad-dition to graduation from an ac-credited High School. This classentering January 24 is the lastclass to enter under the presentpreliminary regulation. This newclass coming to us is the last ofa series running thru manyyears. It should be a large classand it should make history forosteopathy for getting in justunder the wire it will have toshow a clean pair of heels to allthose that follow.

Registration so far is very en-couraging. We feel quite surewe will have a fine new groupthat will rival any class in thecollege and we also feel that theywill uphold the honor of theirline even tho they are the "last".

ATLA CLUMH. A. J.

With the return of the mem-bers from their homes during theChristmas holidays being a pleas-ant memory, the climax of thesemester is drawing to a close.

The fraternity senior banquetis to be held on the evening ofJanuary 21, and although wehave no graduating members inthis class we are all looking for-ward to a gala event.

The election of officers heldon January 6th, finds the follow-ing men in office for the ensuingterm. Noble Skull, BrentonSchiffer, Occipital, Jon Hagy,Receptaculum, Howard Johnston,Sacrum, Wilson Simmons, Stylus,Dale Widmer, and Styloid, Mar-cus Gerlach.

Many new kits are adorningthe limelight now as our proudJuniors prepare for their ad-vancement into the clinic, ;andO. B. We can picture BrothersIverson, and Munroe discussingtheir astonishing results on theirfirst case.

Thoughtful words to remem-ber: "Make one severe in judg-ing himself, and humane in judg-ing others." Dewey.

The vacationing members andpledges arrived back safely in-spite of the size of the guards onthe Rocket. All said that theyhad an enjoyable Christmas andhave finally attempted to settledown to school routine again.

B'rothers Edwin Zyzelewski andJ. B. Miller will be graduatedthis month with the degree, Doc-tor of Osteopathy, and their losswill be deeply felt at the PhiSigma Gamma house. Both menhave taken an active part inschool and fraternity life duringtheir four years here, and haveheld offices in the fraternity. Wecongratulate them, and wishthem every success in the field.

In the way of a legal noticethe long suspected marriage ofBrother Jack Miller was an-nounced upon his arrival backfrom vacation. It was a "Civil"ceremony taking place in theearly part of July with UncleJ. B. officiating as best man (wealways thought the groom wasthe best man). The bride, MaryHunton, i's a resident of Hamil-ton, Ohio. The fraternity is look-ing forward to meeting Mrs. Mil-ler at the beginning of the newsemester.

The new officers for the on-coming semester as recentlyelected are:President, Gorden Fischer

Vice President, Arley EdgertonSecretary, John HardyTreasurer, Joe RobertsonAssistant Treasurer, Paul CalvirdPledgemaster, Alfred FerrisSrg. at Armls, Ed. Reese

Dr. and Mrs. Saul Klein verygraciously entertained the fra-ternity at their home on Thurs-day, January 6. A deliciouschicken dinner was served fol-lowed by a very interesting andinformative discussion of the lifeof Dr. Andrew Taylor Still byDr. Becker.

The remainder of the eveningwas spent in playing bridge andbingo. Numerous prizes wereawarded and a very good timewas had by all. J. H.

At the last regular meeting ofthe P. S. A. Fraternity, the fol-lowing officers were elected:President, Jerry O'Berski, re-

The Iota Tau Sigma ChristmasStag which was held Thursdaynight before the final dismissalof school Friday was very noveland unique in its character thisyear, and it brought back to eachof the brothers the profound re-spect they have for friendshipand fraternity.

The progressive idea was used,going from one brothers resi-dence to the next, and enjoyingmany different kinds of hospital-ity from the warmth of theNorthland (Minnesota's Jeran-son) to the genuine hospitalityof the old South (North Caro-lina's Daniels).

It was far into the night be-fore the strains of Sweet Adelineand Auld Lange Syne rang downon what was for us the last gettogether of a successful and hap-py 1937.

The brothers scattered far andfast after the Christmas Assem-bly but they have all returnedsafely and are busy preparing forthose final exams due within a

rshort time.The following officers have

been elected for the next semes-

ter: William Daniels, president;Ed Jeransen, vice president;Howard Sporck, secretary, andTony Sloane, treasurer. The newofficers are as full of pep andenthusiasm as the Christmas tur-key was full of dressing andgreat things are in store for theChapter the coming semester.

The 'suggestions and visitsfrom our Alumni and friends arerather slow in reaching our ears-let us hear from you.

A. S. B.

The first meeting following theholidays was held Monday Janu-ary 3 in the office of the TaylorClinic. The election of new of-ficers was held and those chosenfor the ensuing term are:

President, Armin Frank.Vice President, Ed. Theilking.Secretary, Howard McCollom.Treasurer, Leo Sanchez.A banquet for the graduating

members, J. B. Miller and Ed.Zyzelewski and the pledges washeld January 14 at Younkers TeaRoom. The guest speakers wereDrs. Halladay, Marshall and De-vine.

For these affairs we so-licit your support and convey ourbest wishes for the coming se-mester. D. S.

N. O. I. C.We feel pretty good right now.

Our work with the Council isright up to.date. This first weekof the new year we mailed ourusual letter No. 1 to the localrepresentatives. We expect tohear from these men and wo-men within the limits of this firstset of plans.

With the efficient help of oursecretary we finished the ten-page "Message to the President"of your fraternity or sorority.This i's something we have hadin mind for some time and hopethat it serves a very useful pur-pose.

Next month we hope to beable to report progress in build-ing up the program for the mem-bership of the Council at Cin-cinnati. So far everything ismoving along in a most satis-factory manner. We now reston our oars awaiting the reportsthat will 'be in before the firstof April.

-H. V. Halladay,Executive Chairman.

THE SOPHOMORE CLASS-following the usual cus-

tom initiated some time ago se-cured and decorated a beautifulChristmas tree for the waitingroom. The many children andthe grown-ups too appreciatedthis evidence of the Spirit of theSeason. We assure the Sophsthat the tree filled a real needand added much in beauty andpleasure during the two weeksof its existance.

Assembly January 7

Mixing the near and the far,Dr. Halladay spliced his Novem-ber New York trip to a Decem-ber Caesarian operation taken atthe hospital and furnished sev-eral minutes of enjoyable moviesfor the program. The New Yorktrip started with the Rock IslandRocket, transferred to the UnitedAir Lines and toured around thecity for a few feet. The majorshots of importance were thoseof Mrs. Elanor Roosevelt takenat Chicago where she changedplanes returning from a westerntrip. The Caesarian operationwas recently performed at theDes Moines General Hospital ona patient of Dr. Dennis' by Dr.Howard Graney. The variousstages and delivery were shownincluding the closing of thewound.

Dr. Arthur D. Becker filled inthe few remaining minutes of thehour with some good advice andtimely announcements includingthe reminder that this iis theFortieth Anniversary of theDes IMoines Still College of Os-teopathy. We hope that meansmore to you than just a combi-nation of words.

Music by the college orchestraopened and closed the program.

Wallace and McFar-land. Dr. Tedrick of the hospi-tal staff gave a talk on "X-Rayand Radium" which was com-plimented very highly by the at-tending physicians.

The evening program consistedfirst of a banquet attended bynearly one hundred and at whichDr. Wallace presided. Follow-ing the meal Dr. McFarland Ipre-sented Dr. Bachman who ad-dressed the mixed group on thesubject of "Evaluating PrenatalFindings."

Osteopathy Without Limitation

Milestones

Admittedly, we are rather pro-foundly impressed by the factthat 19.38 marks the fortieth an-niversary of our institution. Itis our plan and purpose to make1938 ;a banner year in the his-tory of Des Moines Still Collegeof Osteopathy.

Birthdays serve a useful pur-pose in that they tend to cry-stallize one's thinking. It is atime of checking up and of tak-ing stock. It is an occasion forlooking back through the yearsto note trends and progress, andof looking forward to the estab-lishment of new aims, new idealsand new goals.

We are happy and proud inthe fact that we have made defi-nite and steady progress in theprogram of improvement whichwe set up for ourselves two anda half years ago. It was a ratherambitious program and we havegiven unwavering and unstintedeffort in making it effectual. Themany improvements in facilitiesand equipment, the accomplish-ments in organization, the rais-ing of scholastic standards, themany evidences of superior mor-ale in the student body are onlya few of the steps upward andforward that we have made.

We are beginning to plan andprepare for our week of post-graduate review and clinic to beheld about the first of June asan outstanding birthday party.We plan to make the post-grad-uate week this year as largelyclinical as possible with case pre-sentations and case study thepredominant note.

The Fall Class of 1938 will beknown as the Anniversary Class.It's progress will be a matter ofespecial interest. It will be thefirst class enrolled under the newand advanced entrance require-ment. We anticipate that manyof our friends and alumnae willwant to be personally repre-sented !by having a student inthat class. Begin planning nowfor your candidate for the 40thAnniversary Class.

We feel that we are wellsquared away for new visionsand higher levels of educationalachievement. We are pleasedwith our birthday outlook. Wewould be glad to have your ,co-operation and good will. Ourambition is to make Des !MoinesStill College of Osteopathy morethan ever THE COLLEGE OFCLINICAL OPPORTUNITY.

The Becker TripDr. and Mrs. Arthur D. Becker

visited friends in Chattanooga,Tennessee, Jacksonville, Florida,Eustiice, Florida, and BatonRouge, Louisiana, during theholiday vacation. They traveledby automobile and report a finetrip in every way-good roads,beautiful weather, and a pleasantand restful vacation.

Board and FacultyThe last two meetings of this

group have been held on Decem-ber 14 and January 7. With theclose of the semester near athand it is to be expected that thestanding of the student body wasgiven first consideration. Ourcollege seems to be no exceptionwhen it comes to some few mem-bers of the student body beingon the so-called "D" list. Thepercentage is not very high butwe do have enough of them tocause a little worry to some ofthe professors.

Graduation plans and the mat-ters of business pertaining to theopening of a new semester werediscussed mainly at the Januarymeeting.

Odd McIntyre AgainOdd quite often prints some-

thing very pointed. We quotebelow from one of his recentSunday columns:

In the waiting room of aprominent Madison ave. physicianhangs this enlarged photostat ofa recent statement of Dr. RobertHutchinson, head of a largeEnglifsh hospital, and appearingin the London Lancet:

"So few in fact are the di-seases we can really cure thatone is tempted to believe that ifall the doctors went on strikefor a year the effect on the deathrate would be inappreciable.That is not to say, of course,that doctors are of no use, butonly that they are of use in adifferent way from what the pub-lic imagines. In most 'cases ofillness the doctor is really a men-tal poultice; he is a course ofcomfort, confidence and consola-tion to the patient and hisfriends; but if he is honest withhimself he will admit that thenumber of patients who wouldhave died but for his attendanceis lamentably small."

Polk CountyThe Polk County Osteopathic

Association will hold theirmonthly dinner meeting January10, at 6:45 p. m. at the DesMoines General Hospital. Thespecial program for the eveningwill consist of an interesting il-lustration discussion on the im-portance of the endocrines insterility by Dr. Ray E. McFar-land of Wichita, Kansas. Dr.McFarland is staff pediatricianand endocrinologist of South-western Osteopathic Hospital ofWichita.

The intimate contact between the patient and the studentphysician at Still College is parallel to a field practice. The quan-tity and variety of cases offers the student every opportunity touse the many methods;'of diagnosis, doing the work himself andnot having to depend on books or long distance observation for hisinformiation. The interpretation of the effects of pathology asshown by the diagnostic regime leads to the real cause of thepathology, and with this traced and definitely located, the physi-tcian does not work blindly, but with a confidence and assurancebased on absolute clinical evidence.

Training Tells"To watch Johnny, 17 months

old, roller skating through thecorridors of Manhattan's Babieshospital, dressed only in a diaperand shoes, is that institution'sfavorite daily diversion. Johnnyhas been roller-skating since lastApril, which was before his firstbirthday. He now boldly coastsdown inclines, steers around cor-ners.

"Skating is not Johnny's soleathletic accomplishment. At sev-en and one-half months he be-gan to practice swimming. Nowhe can dive and swim underwater. Other abilities: climbingup a steeply inclined plank,climbing from a 5-ft. pedestal.

"Johnny's trainer from the in-stant he was born, when she be-gan taking a long series of mov-ing pictures of his every activity,has been Dr. Myrtle B. McGraw,the pretty, energetic assistant di-rector of Babies Hospital's Nor-mal Child Development clinic, af-filiated with the Neurological in-stitute.

"Dr. Frederick Tilney, Neurol-ogical institute chief, thinks thatcivilized parents coddle their in-fants too long, that a childshould {be taught initiative andself-confidence from his earliestweeks.

"Dr. McGraw began to teachJohnny exercises on his twenti-eth day. She showed him howto sit up, walk, creep. For awhile he did not learn very well,but when he reached the creep-ing stage he began to pick up hisathletic tricks rapidly.

"To demonstrate the validityof this thesis, Dr. McGraw letJohnny's twin develop like a tra-ditional baby. Twin Jimmy can-not skate, refuses to climb downfrom any stand even two feethigh. When in any predicament,he shows his sense of insecurityby turning to older people forhelp."-Des Moines Tribune.

Friday evening, January 21will mark the final college cere-mony for this 'class. Graduationwill be held in the college !audi-torium and Dr. Weertz of the St.John's Lutheran Church will givethe addres's.

Early the following week wewill find these students concen-trating deeply over the IowaState Board Exams. Go back tothe title, class. You did notthink that day would arrivewhen you first heard that state-ment years 'ago, but here it isand again we wish you everysuccess.

CincinnatiThe year has started. It is

time for you to make a start also.Your program committee is atwork. Your other committeesare organized and the prelimi-nary plans having been made,our 1938 Convention is on itsway.

Cincinnati has much to offeryou in the way of educational fea-tures, entertainment and its cen-tral location. We know you willenjoy the historic sites, the finebuildings and the beautifulparks. We do not attend a con-vention solely for the purpose ofbeing filled with highly seasonedtechnical nourishment. We goto enjoy the trip to and fromand at the city itself and we ex-pect to find many interestingthings in Cincinnati aside fromthe fine program and entertain-ment being planned. We wantto see you there and we want todo our part to make this anotherbig year for Osteopathy.

Begin planning now for Cin-cinnati July 11-15.

Year instead of giving the con-vention'al greetings I merely wishto Isay "Amen" to the New Year'sresolutions on the front of thecurrent A. O. A. Journal. Maywe all do our bit to fulfill thoseobjectives.

The annual state meeting willbe held at the Hotel Savery inDes Moines, May 3 and 4. Theprogram chairman, Dr. LauraMiller of Adel, is building a veryinstructive and practical programfor those days.

Tentative plans for a circuit ofthe various districts about March1, ,are being considered. Ques-tionairres have been sent to thedistrict officers to ascertain theirdesires in this matter. Any sug-gestions from members of thevarious districts will be appreci-ated.

gerhaDs a direct result of theiriios' xcellent National Convefn-tion was the contribution of twosplendid Auxiliaries to the or-ganization of the National Osteo-pathic womanhood. This is oneof the finest tributes the workersin Illinois can receive.

As Executive of the Osteo-pathic Women's National As-sociation I desire in this publicway to congratulate these Illi-nois women for their ;splendidprofessional spirit and welcomethe Chicago Osteopathic HospitalAuxiliary and the West SuburbanAuxiliary into the Nationalgroup.

In one sense of the word Illi-nois stands for Osteopathic lead-ership in the profession and itis most fitting that the woman-hood of Chicago should taketheir position in organized lead-ership.

Open HouseAt the instigation of the Stu-

dent Committee and with thehelp of several members of thefaculty the college acted as hostto a large crowd of students andothers in the city associated withour -several educational institu-tions. The day was January 10and the hours 3:30 to 5:30 p. m.and the numbers attendingproved their interest in the col-lege and the published program.

On the first floor Dr. Fisherhad the chemical laboratoriesworking in full swing and theanatomy laboratory with PaulKimberly in charge carried onwith the usual days work.

The office force on the secondfloor was ready with informationand literature and the many pa-tients and bank of treatmentrooms proved of interest also.Several watched the process oftaking blood samples and oneyoung lady nearly fainted duringthis demonstration.

The third floor offered littleexcept the plan of the severalclass rooms which late in theafternoon were for the most partvacant.

The library on the fourth floorwas open and in two of the lab-oratories interesting experimentswere progressing. The demon-stration of the heart beat usinglive turtles and the demontstra-tlon of nerves in the crayfishproved exception attractions un-A Ad +1,- -V ;n+ r Of% rap-1

Following the trip thru thebuilding the visitors were in-vited to the auditorium wherethey isaw and heard the new slidetalkie film, "For All Our Sakes"thru courtesy of the Iowa StateBoard of Health. Mr. Shultz ofthe Health Board officiated andit was a real pleasure to notethe interest expressed on thefaces of the crowd as the storyof this disease was graphicallyshown.

The college wishes to expressits appreciation to the StudentCommittee and Dr. James Sharonof the Board of Health for theirpart in making our Open Housea success.

Preceding and following theshowing of the film Dr. ArthurD. Becker welcomed the visitorsand invited them to call at theoffice fo;r information and liter-ature relative to the college.

The success of the programhas already been sufficiently im-pressive to have started talk ofanother before the end of 'school.In order to take 'care of those inthe city who wish to visit thecollege some day must be setaside for this purpose. It is notwise to let visitors in at any timeduring the day. Classes are dis-

turbed and the visitor is oftenleft with the wrong impression ofwhat we are trying to accom-plish in the way of the educationof the osteopathic physician. Weare certain that the time andprogram in this case secured theresults we wished.

The boyshad to hurry away to other ap-pointments or we would still belistening.

Dr. Bennie Devine, of the city,acted as Emsee 'and never failedto have the right answer whenit was needed. The college is tobe congratulated upon having inits midst and among its alumnitalent that can plan and put overa fine Christmas program likethe one this year. It is good tobe alive but it is better to bealive and belong to the Still Col-lege Gang.

DR. AND MRS. P. J. GEPHART-of Waterville, Me., an-

nounce the arrival of Paul, Jr.,December 11. Weight 7.

They Say-I make it a practice to do a

certain amount of reading eachmonth. Not only am I interestedin what is new in my specialtybut I like to keep up with otherlines also and you whoever andwherever you are should !be do-ing the same.

Mock and Brown have a finearticle in the January issue ofthe Journal of Surgery, Gyne-cology and Obstetrics, titled "TheConservative Treatment of GallBladder Disease." The conclu-sion!s are especially notable. Wequote.

"(1) We believe that thepresent conceptions of the medi-cal management of Gall-bladderdisease using low fat, low chol-esterol diets in conjunction withsaline purgatives have no soundphysiological basis.

"(2) On the basis of our stu-dies of 120 patients withchronic gall-bladder disease, wehave found that the hourly feed-ings of milk and cream to inducecontraction and emptying of thegall-bladder, ketocholanic acidsto stimulate flow of hepatic bileand antispasmodic medication todiminish the irritability of thegastro-intestinal tract, effectivelyrelieves symptoms and reduces.the incidence of colic in the ma-jority of cases."

J. P. Schwartz, D. 0.I have recently read of vital

attributes in the blood serumthat are affected by lesions.These lesions exert an influence-on the specific manufacture ofRelaxin in the ovaries that.causes relaxation of the liga--ments of the symphysis pubes.and the sacro-iliac during the lat-ter part of pregnancy. The-greatest relaxation ha's beendemonstrated in guinea pigs.Here a separation of the sym-physis pubes of more than oneinch has been obtained.

Also in Pulmonary Moniliasisdue to Monilia the symptomsvary from those of mild repira-tory infection to severe formsresembling tuberculosis. It isevidence that the organisms areimportant causes of pulmonarydisease. Dr. Max Blergau.

The first article in the January22 issue of Liberty i's amusing,instructive and of an exposition-ary nature. I still wonder whythis roving patient did not dropinto the office of one of our os-teopathic physicians there inNew York. His probable troubleis a lesion, but he would nothave had the fun of finding outabout the ten M. D.'s that hewrites about. I hope by thistime that he found a doctorwho in turn has found the causeand removed it rather thantreated the effect.

Volume 15 February 15, 1938 Number 2

The New Class

At the time of writing the finalregistration date for the incom-ing class has not arrived. Weare happy to report that as itstands the number is more thandouble the registration at thesame time last year. Early re-turns indicate that Iowa will leadin number of new students butthat Michigan and Ohio come inwith their usual generous contri-bution. We see one from Wyom-ing and another from New Yorkso the East and West meet. Amore complete classification willbe given next issue.

So far the class has been busywith the usual smokers and otherentertaining features planned toacquaint them with the organi-zations of the student body.

This increase in student per-sonel is augmented by the returnof several old timers who haddropped out for a time. Wewelcome both the new membersto our student body and the oneswho have staged a real come-back.

Board and Faculty

The usual monthly meeting ofthe board and faculty was heldFebruary 4. Preliminary to thegeneral faculty meeting theboard met and took under con-sideration several items havingto do with the increase in ef-ficiency of the college and plansfor the 40th Anniversary Re-view and Post-graduate Week tobe held early in June.

At the faculty meeting Dr.Gordon gave an informal paperon Arthritis bringing out somepersonal observations that arenot found in the text books. Thisenigma of pathology has neverbeen completely solved and muchdetrimental treatment is beingused as was plainly pointed outby Dr. Gordon.

Dr. Becker in closing the meet-ing complimented the faculty onthe fine work of the past semes-ter and urged the group to "keepbearing down. We are runninga college of osteopathy and nota playground. The professionexpects us to graduate trainedosteopathic physicians and wewill do it," he said.

DR. ERNEST POWELL-of St. Paul, Minn., was

featured on the front page Jan-uary 28 all dressed up as KingBoreas, ruler of the 1938 St.Paul Winter Carnival. This iscertainly a high honor for one ofour profession.

Our Department of PhysiologyThe study of any therapeutic method must take into consid-

eration a number of basic sciences the thoro understanding ofwhich is necessary in the development of a physician. Physiologyis one of these and, since it deals with the normal functions ofthe body, must be studied in all the detail that is possible.There are many things going on within the body that are notwell understood by even our most learned scientists and althothe science- of physiology is many years old there is constantresearch in progress and the teachers in this department mustkeep in constant touch with the latest ideas and must be able topresent this new material to the students to aid in solving themysteries of disease.

Dr. O. E. Owen is responsible for the first two semesters ofthis work under the heading of General Physiology. This course,extending over the entire year, includes the study of the cell,its metabolic processes, the digestive, endocrine, muscle, circula-tory and respiratory physiology. Laboratory periods each weekcover the didactic course and enable the student to see and applythe principles discussed in the lectures.

Dr. L. L. Facto spends an entire semester with the subject ofNervous Physiology. This is a course consisting of a great dealof detail in the exposition of the nervous system. Those whoknow Dr. Facto appreciate the fact that he leaves no stone un-turned in this study and its application to the principles ofOsteopathy. From a standpoint of diagnosis, prognosis andtreatment the nervous system must certainly be the startingpoint. It is a well known fact that our profession boasts of aclearer understanding and a greater appreciation of this systemand it then becomes necessary for us to enter into this studyrealizing its importance in our therapy.

The Physiology Laboratory at the college has recently beenenlarged and the equipment augmented with the latest instru-ments for the complete demonstration of physiological processes.Maierial for this work in the form of frogs, turtles, etc., is sup-plied in ample quantity for the completion of all experiments andeach student is given the opportunity to see these reactions re-peated until fully understood. The course includes the prepara-tion of a note book that must be completed satisfactorily.

Our Department of Chemistry

Chemistry is another of the basis sciences that is an integralpart of the training of any physician. It may seem strange thatphysicians being trained for osteopathic practice should be re-quired to follow thru the progressive subjects under this heading.It must be remembered that the modern physician must not onlyunderstand but must be able to make many diagnostic tests inthe determination of the disease. The physician, by means of his

Senior AffairsThe three important ceremon-

ies in honor of the graduatingSeniors were carried out as usualbut with the unusual featuresthat always make one class dif-fer from any other.

Class Day, held January 14opened with musicl by the collegeband. Then President Revestook the dias. In his talk hepointed out the many advantagesof the college and in the nameof the class promised to upholdthe principles of osteopathy andto work for a larger enrollmentat the college. Reves then in-troduced Fagen.

Bob Fagen, the historian ofthe class, reviewed the class fromits initial start four years agonaming the original membershipand adding and subtracting asthe semesters progressed. In thiscase most of the originals weregraduating.

Reves, again appearing, thistime in the role of a prophet,made the rounds with predictionsfor the class. If the degree ofsuccess predicted comes true wewill all be proud of havingknown the group.

Zyzelewski then offered theWill which was filled with thecustomary legal phrases deftlyhiding the real value of the be-quests. It was evident that theclass desired to leave with theirlower classmates only thosethings that might cause themsome embarassment as they wenton their way. We hope the in-tent, which seemed to be directedto their best friends, does notcause them any loss of sleep.

Reves, again with the reins,called Dr. Becker to the frontand presented him with a beauti-ful knife as a remembrance ofthe good will of the class. Dr.Becker responded with appropri-ate remarks.

Taking advantage of his posi-tion on the stage, Dr. B'eckermade the awards to the class.The college awards for extratime in the departments were toClifford Barry for his additionaltime in the Clinic and to EdZyzelewski and to J. B. Millerfor their aid in the Anatomylaboratory. The Sigma SigmaPhi awards were made to RobertFagen for his service to the col-lege and to J. B. Miller for su-perior work in osteopathy.

Class Day for the January,1938 Class closed with music byby the band.

On the evening of January 20the class with their friends andrelatives and members of thefaculty met at Younkers for theClass Banquet.

THE LOG BOOK

N. . I. C.This past month letters have

been sent from this office to eachof the local representatives ofthe ten organizations making upthe Council. It is early to makeany prediction but from the re-ports already in I would say thatwe have a fine bunch of workersthis year and I am sure thatthere will be no delay in gettingall arrangements made in plentyof time. Each frat or sorority isplanning a banquet and programfor a part of their reunion andof course the regular businessmeeting held at some convenienttime and place during conventionweek. Tuesday night is the of-ficial night for the social or-ganizations.

The Atlas Club is probablymaking more extensive plansthan any other fraternity due tothis year being it's 40th birth-day. Dr. Charles Ross is incharge locally and the officers ofthe Club, Dr. Emanual Jacobsonand Dr. C. R. Starks, have theplans well in hand. Dr. Ross re-ports contacts have already beenmade and the banquet and re-union will be held in the GibsonHotel Roof Garden. This hotelis one block from the NetherlandPlaza and is semi-official sincethe Scientific Exhibit and someother features of the conventionwill be housed there. The pro-gram is not complete at this timebut will be highly entertainingthruout.

Dr. Walter Bailey of the Sig-ma Sigma Phi, reports that theannual meeting will be held Mon-day evening, July 11 at theNetherland Plaza. This will notiterfere with any of the othermeetings planned for that nightand will be over in plenty of timefor any official entertainment onthe program.

Dr. E. E. Ruby, in charge forthe Alpha Tau Sigma, writesthat he is. getting things linedup and the boys will have a goodfeed and entertainment that noone should miss.

Dr. John W. Hayes, acting forPsi Sigma Alpha, reports prog-ress but plans are not completeat the present.

Dr. P. K. Jones of These Psihas reserved the Cincinnati Clubfor the fraternity's Reunion onthe night of July 12. The pro-gram will be completed shortly.

By the first of next month themajority of these fraternities andsororities will have their ban-quets located and other arrange-ments nearer to completion. TheCouncil realizing that these localrepresentatives are busy hasgiven them until the first ofApril to make a complete report

but all are working in the mean-time.

The committee at Cincinnatithat will take charge of the ban-quet tickets this year has or-ganized and is making plans forthis part of the registration. Dr.Corrodi of the Allied Societies,is on the job with informationand other items of value to facili-tate his part of the conventionprogram.

The Council will have itsluncheon Monday noon at the of-ficial hotel. The exact room hasnot been selected and individualnotice will be sent to the mem-bership of the Council when thishas been decided.

With this early start and witheveryone concerned at work theCouncil feels that there will bea smooth working machine readyto serve the fraternities and so-rorities when the full member-ship of each struggles to registerbeginning probably the 9th ofJuly.H. V. Halladay, Executive Chair-

man.

Local CouncilThe membership of the Inter-

Fraternity Council this semesteris composed of Jerry O'Berski(Psi Sigma Alpha), president,Beryl Freeman (Delta Omega),secretary - treasurer, ArmandFrank (Sigma Sigma Phi), P. N.Munroe (Atlas), Bill Daniels(Iota Tau Sigma), and GordonFischer (Phi Sigma Gamma).

Smokers for the new Fresh-men were held on Tuesday eve-ning, February 1, by the AtlasClub, on Wednesday evening,February 2, by the Phi SigmaGamma, at their respectivehouses, and on Thursday eve-ning, February 3, by Iota TauSigma at Boyce's Up-Town. Re-sults of pledging are not avail-able for this issue

Dr. Halladay was'host to themembers of the Council at 6o'clock dinner at his home onKingman Boulevard on Friday,February 11, after which bidswere extended to the prospectivepledges. -B. F.

With exams finished, we startthe new semester with the samevows of keeping notebooks up todate and keeping each days as,signments taken care of as pre-scribed by the various instruc-tors so this semester promisesto be one which will go down inhistory.

The senior banquet held atBoyce's Uptown was well at-tended and everything movedsmoothly under the capable di-rection of Toastmaster Dr. H. V.Halladay. High lights of thebanquet included the presenta-tion of a plaque to the retiringNoble Skull, H. E. Leslie, by thepresent Noble Skull, A. B. Schif-fer. Another outstanding fea-ture was .the financial report byPylorus, Costello. Bill deservesour utmost thanks and apprecia-tion. Interesting talks weregiven by alumni present.

This semester we welcome

back to the house Brother Fordfrom Kewanee, Ill., who is backin school after a year absentce.

The smoker held Tuesdaynight, February 1, was well at-tended by the new men who havejust enrolled in school. Otherguests included members of thefaculty and alumni who gaveshort talks. The Atlas Clubwishes to extend its best wishesfor the success of the incomingfreshmen. We are glad that youhave chosen Des Moines as yourschool for studying Osteopathyand if at any time we can helpyou in making new adjustmentswe will feel that our fraternityis serving the purpose for whichit is intended.

The pledges report that theyare deriving much benefit fromthe little "pep" meetings follow-ing our regular meetings. It isa pleasure to note them doingtheir house work with a song intheir heart and a smile on theirface. It is too bad we will soonbe losing them as pledges viathe route of initiation.

Noble "skum" Howe roundedup his pledges January 29 andentertained the actives with aparty.

The Xiphoid chapter is expect-ing and looking forward to avisit from the Axis chapter ofKirksville in the near future.

The Phi Sigma Alpha Frater-nity held its last meeting at thePhi Sigma Gamma house. Themeeting was opened by the Presi-dent, Jerry O'Berski and full at-tendance was attained despite thesub-zero weather.

Following the business meet-ing Brother Cory and BrotherHaight presented to the grouptheir scientific papers. BrotherCorey spoke on the advantagesand disadvantages of the use ofSulfanilamide, while BrotherHaight's oration dealt with Hy-pertrophic Arthritis. Both paperswere very interesting and manydoubtful points were cleared upin the discussion following.

We are happy to announce thelocating of Dr. Joseph A. Guer-rera in Providence, R. I., wherehe is doing quite well for him-self.

Let's hear what our Alumni isdoing!

The next Banquet will be atRed's Place located in the Roose-velt Theatre Building, February15th.

The pst month has been aThe plast month has been a

most busy one for the brothersof Beta Chapter and if this ac-tivity is a criterion of what 1938will be for us then Beta is setfor a banner year.

Saturday night, January 29,1938, Dr. Cash opened his hometo us for the installation of thenew officers for the coming se-mester. After the ceremony amost delicious Dutch lunch withall the trimmings was served andthe evening was finished with

bridge, bingo and "tall" storytelling. Everyone present helpedhimself to an osteopathic treat-ment judging the volume andlength of some of the laughs.

Thursday, February 3, 19!38 atBoyce's Uptown Cafe a dinnerand smoker was held for the newcoming freshmen. All the broth-ers and pledges were presentalong with a goodly representa-tion of the new men.

Dr. Leininger of the Obstet-rics Department was a guest andgave us a few words in responseto our Toastmaster Daniels. Thetreat of the evening was thesplendid address given by ourguest, Dr. Steffen on the subject"Visceral Thinking." He gaveus a compact history of mansfight within himself of mind overbody, and our living in a worldof make-believe to escape theworld of reality about us. Heissued us a personal 'challengethat would be well worth whilefor us to try and achieve.

Plans are under way for springinitiation and we hope to makefurther announcements soon.

The BandIt seems that we have neglect-

ed to mention the personal ofour band this year. No kidding,when they are all present wehave a perfect organization andthey can make real music. TheSenior members are occasionallyabsent due to important casesbut these are not constant. Dr.Halladay, conductor of osteo-pathic bands for many years,shakes the baton over the bunchvigorously and sometimes almostpeevishly.

To ChicagoDr. Arthur D. Becker, presi-

dent of the college, attended theall-day regional conference onsocial security legislation held inChicago on Saturday, February5. Eight states were representedin this conference which includedMinnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan,Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio andKentucky. Dr. R. C. McCaugh-an, executive secretary of the A.O. A., was in charge and indi-cated some well defined trendsand potentials This was one ofseveral such regional conferencesheld in the last few weeks.

DR. MARY E. GOLDEN-of Des Moines filled three

important speaking dates duringJanuary. On the 11th she talkedto the Washington Grade schooland on the 25th to the P. T. A.'of Washington Irving Junior'High on the subject of "Hob-bies." On January 26 she ad-dressed the Junior Chamber ofCommerce Women on the subjectof 'Syphilis."

chemical diagnostic laboratory, steps into the role of a detectiveand by the use of known formulae eliminates or proves thepresence of known pathological processes producing abnormalchanges in the body fluids and other tissues.

Dr. G. E. Fisher is at the head of this department and isably -assisted by Dr. C. I. Gordon. The course begins with thestudy of Inorganic Chemistry. This is followed by the morecomplicated subject of Organic Chemistry and to complete thecourse and make it apply to the functions of the body the thirddivision is taught under the title of Physioloical Chemistry. TWohundred seventy hours are spent in didactic and demonstrativeclass work with two hundred six hours of experimental work inthe laboratory. As the subject progresses from the more simplereactions to the complicated ones of Physiological Chemistry thelaboratory keeps pace with demonstrations that enable thestudent to see what chemical changes and reactions really mean.

Body Chemistry is'another subject that is not completelyunderstood by our best trained chemists and new ideas and betterand more acurate methods of diagnosis are constantly beingperfected. Those associated with this department must keeppace with the recognized modern methods in this division of ourstudy. New equipment, finer graduation and more detail in dif-ferential methods keep prodding the teacher in this department.Chemical engineers have found a fertile field in applying theirintricate knowledge to 'body functions and we as physicians takeadvaintage of this knowledge in a practical way in tracing thecauses and effects of disease. Our plans to combat these hiddendestructive factors can be made on a more certain basis if weare familiar with our modern diagnostic methods.

Smoking is avery minor thing when we as-sociate it with those who usetheir ability along constructivelines other than making smokerings. I know I shall be remem-bered as a smoker but I hopethat the other things I plan todo will be primarily in the thotsof my friends when my name ismentioned. -E. H.

AssembliesThe first assembly of the new

semester is planned for a displayof the faculty. With the usualhurry and with so many thingsto be done one or two occasion-ally fail to make this appoint-ment. However, the showingwas sufficient to impress the newstudents and visitors with thefact that we do have a facultyand that they can 'appear in arole other than that of a teacher.

Following the music by thecollege band, Dr. Arthur D.Becker took charge and intro-duced the faculty members pres-ent on the platform. The maintheme naturally was the sincerewelcome to new students andthose returning to the college.Dr. Park, a new member of thefaculty, made his first appearanceand promised cooperation evenwith classes not under his tutor-age. Dr. Park is a graduate ofthe college and has been prac-ticing in the city for severalyears. We are indeed glad towelcome him to the faculty groupand have every confidenlcce in hisability to hold the interest ofhis classes.

Dr. ;Blergau, Neil Kitchen 'andPaul Kimberly, assistants to thefaculty were also introduced andDr. Fisher called upon his sev-eral laboratory aides to standand receive recognition. The as-sembly closed with music.

Friday, February 4 was given

At this time theyhave to answer over 100 ques-tions fired at them in quickorder, the object of the questionbeing pointed to on the speci-men. Any member of the classmaking over 95 in this test isawarded a key, the significanceof which is that he belongs tothat select group known as theOsteopathic Osteologists. Thefollowing fourteen members ofthe class won these awards andmay be seen with keys displayedon expanded chests.

over to the introduction of thenew class. It is not necessaryfor us to describe this scene tothose of you who have been apart of it. The usual cheers andboos were heard at the announce-ment of certain states and thiscompletely drowned at the finalewhen the class as a whole wasgiven a fine cheer of welcome bythe entire student body.

Sigma Sigma Phi will have theplanning of the assemblies asusual and have already laid outthe schedule complete. The re-sponsibility for these weeklymeetings during the Spring sem-ester rests largely on the severalorganizations and with plenty ofwarning we may expect some in-teresting and instructive pro-grams thruout the entire period.

THE LOG BOOK

They Say-The obstetrical department for

several months has been cooper-ating with the State Board ofHealth in checking Syphilis andhas some interesting data to re-port. The routine examinationincludes both Wasserman andKline tests. Cases that show apositive give a history of one ormore spontaneous abortions, thecause of which was not knownuntil these tests were made. Sy-philis is, of course, not the onlycause for abortion but it cer-tainly is one of the underlyingfactors and if present should beknown in order that the physi-cian may anticipate -the possibleeffect. -Dr. E. S. Leininger.

I recently read this by Dr.Henry C. Sherman in Chemistryof Foods and Nutrition, 4th edi-tion, page 238. I think it is ofgreat interest to those who aremaking a study of special dietsin cases. "The importance ofthe right concentration of theinorganic salts and ions in thetissues and fluids, of the body isvery great. Any considerable de-parture from the normal concen-tration is incompatible with life."

-Dr. C. I. Gordon.

Right now is an opportunetime for the profession to keepto the front with informationthat will be welcome to manylay organizations. We shouldplace ourselves in a position toaccept and deliver the needed in-formation in regard to the socialdiseases and I find that manyclubs especially Mother's Clubsand P. T. A. are asking for abetter knowledge of the ,Mari-huana weed. This will have tobe handled along with other nar-cotics and we must be preparednot only to take care of addictsbut to give the information toparents who realize the damagebeing done among youthful stu-dents.

Leave of Absence

Polk County

The members of the PolkCounty Osteopathic Associationwere guests on January 14 of Dr.J. P. Schwartz at the Des MoinesGeneral Hospital. This is ameeting that the membershiplooks forward to each year andthey were not disappointed inany part of the fine program.

Dinner was served at sevenand when the group filed into thedining room they were met bytheir host who was serving. Thefish and everything that wentwith it were prepared perfectlyand the silence'that followed theseating of those present evidenc-ed their relish of the meal.

Dr. Ray McFarland of Wichita,Kansas, a former intern at theDes Moines General Hospital wasthe main speaker and talked on"Endocrinology in Sterility." Dr.McFarland's discourse was ex-ceedingly interesting and instruc-tive and plainly showed that hehas spent much time in researchand knows his subject in everydetail.

A general discussion followed-and the meeting closed after ashort business session. The as-sociation is highly appreciativeof the hospitality of Dr. Schwartzand the fine address by Dr. Mc-FIrland.

Senior Affairs(Continued from Page 1)

Three of the eight membersof the graduating class failed toappear but each had excellentexcuses. Delayed trains bringingin relatives and illness preventedthem from attending this affair.

Following a fine meal Dr.Becker took the floor and calledupon Drs. Bachman, Halladay,Fisher and Mr. Reves who as

president of the class spoke in

their behalf. The feature to beremembered by those who at-tend these affairs each year wasthat the weather was mild. Ourusual experience at a Senior ban-quet in January is that the tem-perature is below zero and astorm is hard at work. We hone

Angina Pectoris With Special Reference To It'sMechanical Causes

. Noe. -Te a su, v . e. I

(Ed. Note-The above subjectwas given to the Senior studentsat the six recognized college^' ofosteopathy last year. Each col-lege paper was judged and oneprize winning paper was selectedfrom each institution. We havethe privilege of presenting, begin-ning in this issue, the prize pI:perwritten by William L. Daniels ofthe May, 1938 class at the DesMoines Still College of Osteo-pathy.)

Osler (1) defines Angina Pec-toris as, "A symptom complexcharacterized by paroxysimalpain, usually thoracic, associatedwith vascular changes." This de-finition is the best I can find, butit can be taken ambiguously inthat it does not state where thevascular changes occur. I takeit, that he means the vascular'changes occur in the heart.

In order to discuss the subjectproperly I will give a resume ofthe nervous anatomy of theheart. I believe this will helpclarify the material presentedlater.

The parasympathetics (2-3)arise from the Vagus. These arethe inhibitory fibers and thevaso constrictors of the coronaryarteries and the aorta. The vagusgives off three nerves to theheart; the superior, middle andinferior cardiac branches. Thesebranches help form the cardiacplexus. The vagus, through thejugular ganglion, communicateswith the accessory nerve, petro-sal ganglion of the glosso-phar-yngeal, with the facial nerve andwILI L Oiyh A a orAnQ hOfi1 hIL manA , RWLIM Lilte s UypatLllCsL U y UlJ u 4jizof an ascending filament fromthe superior cervical ganglion.Through the ganglion nodosumthere is communication with thehypoglossal, the superior cervicalganglion of the sympathetic andthe loop between the first andsecond cervical nerves.

The cardiac plexus is dividedinto two parts, the superficial,and the deep. The superficialpa rc : C iuii A ury th ~ia' rl nriparit is lioelltU UJy L1iJi ;uvuLvL-cardiac branch of the left sym-pathetic and the superior cervicalcardiac branch of the left vagus.The superficial part of the card-iac plexus gives branches to thedeep cardiac plexus and to theleft anterior pulmonary plexus.The deep part of the cardiacplexus is formed by the cardiacnerves of the vagus, the cardiacnerves of the cervical ganglia,and the recurrent nerves. Theonly 'cardiac nerves which do notenter into the formation of thedeep part of the'cardiac plexusare the superior cardiac nerve ofthe left sympathetic, and thelower of the two superior cervi-cal cardiac branches from theleft vagus, which' pass to thesuperficial part of the plexus.The posterior coronary plexus isformed from the deep part of thecardiac plexus.

The sympathetic nerves to theheart arise in the upper six thor-acic segments of the cord andpass, as white rami communi-cantss, to the cervical ganglia,and the stellate ganglion. Thecardiac nerves from the cervicalganglia have been explained

above asIt their partin tneabove as to their part in theformation of the cardiac plexus.

The vagus has communicationswith the medulla oblongata, (4)according to Winton and Baylissthis is the Cardio-inhibitory cen-ter and evidently has influenceon the vaso constrictors. Castlio(5) states, "The vaso motor con-trol of the spinal medulla, parti-cularly its cervical portion, isreadily disturbed by lesions ofthe lower four cervical vertebrae.The diseases that may resultfrom such a disturbance aremany and diverse."

Quoting Cabot (6), "It is notexpected that anatomical studieswil ever throw much light onthe clinical manifestations whichwe call Angina Pectoris. At theoutset it seems so improbablethat so elusive and transient aphenomonon, varying as it doeswith some of the most evones-cent of vital changes, such asexertion, emotion and the effectsof the nitrites could be explained.Anything so closely connected asAngina Pectoris is with tempor-ary physiological phases of thebody's activities can not so faras I can see by adequately ex-plained by anatomical lesionswhich must be present beforeand after the attack, i. e. in theabsence as in the presence ofAngina itself. Hence, hypothesissuch as vascular spasm or card-iac fatigue naturally suggestthemselves. The difficulty withsuch theories is that it is hardto see how thev can be eitherproved or disproved."

Our Department of PathologyA complete understanding of Pathology is one of the

basic factors in the therapeutic plan of any physician. Hemust be able to picture in his mind the abnormal processesthat are taking place within the body. He must be able todevise a plan that will stop the progress of this lesion andreturn the injured tissue to its normal use again. He musthave a knowledge of the serious effects not only at the seat ofthe primary pathology but also extending into the surroundingorgans and by the blood or lymph streams into more remoteparts of the body. The physician must be able to judge theseriousness of the condition and the possible permanent dam-age after healing takes place. This means that the study ofPathology reaches intimately into, not only the diagnosis of adisease but also influences the prognosis and is a basis for thetreatment plan. It is with these important factors in mindthat the college has arranged a complete course covering thissubject, offering more hours in didactic and laboratory than isrequired or given in many other colleges. The study of Path-ology is another that is a constantly changing picture. Ourscientists appreciate the need for a better and clearer under-standing of the abnormal processes that invade the body andthey are diligently searching for causes and methods of cure.These new facts are incorporated with the course as soon asthey have been announced. The osteopath must be alert toproven scientific data and we feel the responsibility of keeping

Beta chapter of Iota Tau Sig-ma takes pleasure in announcingthe following new pledges, Rob-ert Bennington, Mt. Vernon,Ohio; Thomas McWilliams, Co-lumbus Junction, Iowa.

Two business meetings havebeen held at Hotel Chamberlainand initiation plans were out-lined. The first degree has beenconferred upon Pat Kelsey, Rob-ert Lindquist, Scott Fisher andCharles Gray. The remainingdegrees will be. given to thesemen in the very near future.

Beta chapter is slowly butsurely gaining strength and mo-mentum and with the addition ofthese new men it becomes morefortified in the social activity ofthe college. The proposed plansand projects of the chapter arebeing carried out in a very worthwhile and satisfactory mannerand each member is doing hisshare splendidly to help makethis a banner year.

They Say-

An article in Colliera Febru-ary 26 titled "Cold Comfort" at-tracted my attention to the ex-tend that I made a few noteson it. It seems to me that theosteopathic profession could readthis with profit for Osteopathyhas done much more than thisreport incorporates in the careand cure of the diseases referredto.

A sneezing ferret closed oneof the most interesting circlesof research of our day!

According to Dr. H. C. Stuart-Harris, researchers in Briton'sNational Institute for MedicalResearch found the solution tothe biggest question on influ-enza. At the moment researchon colds tells us that the virusgets in the nose and throat pas-sages. It inflames tissues, oc-cupies the blood's disease fight-ing forces and generally lowersbody resistance. Then, the bac-teria always present in thethroat get to work.

Dr. Alphonse Raymond Dochezand his colleagues also reasonedthat if a virus did get in thethroat of bacteria vaccinated pa-tients, it would cause only mildcolds and that it would not causesevere ones because the bodywould be prepared to kill off thesecondary invaders which alwaysbring the common types of colds.Dr. Leverett D. Bristol healthdirector foria telephone companyordered his doctors to keep anaccurate record of men who hadreceived injections of cold vac-cines. His report on 20,000cases was that 80 per cent of theinjected men had exactly thesame number of colds they hadbefore" vaccination. This makesit indeed very interesting for os-teopathic physicians. It also isa fact that our known vaccinesavailable today contain only thebacteria and not the virus.Therefore the next step is forthese men to make a vaccinecontaining both the virus andthe bacteria. Now if the anti-bodies or vital attributes of thiscold virus is the secret to -thecircle why couldn't Osteopathystimulate that antibody corre-sponding to that special coldvirus? The truth of this is thatyour doctor using cold vaccinesshould promise you nothing andshould tell you frankly that hedoes not know what benefit youcan expect. Osteopathy is yourbetter bet.

Advance

Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy is interested in hav-ing a part in any program that ismoving forward. Things do notstand still for long. We eithermove forward, or we tend toslip backward. Stasis is oftenthe beginning of degenerationprocesses. It is hardly necessaryfor me to remind readers ofthese pages that the minimumentrance requirement for theSeptember, 1938 class is one fullyear of college work: This moveis a progressive one and is awholesome indicator of osteo-pathic educational progress.

We do not believe, however,in resting upon our oars. It ishardly safe nowadays to stoplong enough to even indulge ina little self-congratulation. In-stead we believe in using thegains made as platforms for fu-ture efforts along lines of im-provement and advancement.

It is true that we have manyreasons to feel happy and en-couraged with the accomplish-ments thus far in our programof development. The good workand the loyal attitude of the stu-dent body is most pleasing. Thefine cooperation of our entirefaculty group is a matter for sin-cere appreciation. The manyletters received from various in-dividuals in our alumni grouphave been a source of real joy.It certainly warms the wholeday when our enthusiasticfriends in practice write in and

-say to us, "We are hearing goodreports over here about the workthat is being done there at thecollege, and I want to congratu-late you."

We are particularly interestedin the fact that many prospec-tive students for next fall's classare already writing to us andsome have already matriculated.We sense a surge of new inter-est. We think we appreciatefully the problems associatedwith the advance in entrance re-quirements.

We are planning to designateour September class the "Anni-versary Class" in honor of the40th Anniversary of Des, MoinesStill College of Osteopathy. Wewant our many loyal friends andwell-wishers to have personalrepresentatives in that class. Thefact that we have grown this pastyear in total enrollment does notlure us into a false sense ofcomplacency. Send us the namesof qualified prospective studentsfor the September class and let

Your Order, DoctorLast year at our Post Gradu-

ate and Review Week we hadsome special dissections on theabdominal wall and the foot.This year the department of An-atomy will again offer somethingin the way of special demonstra-tions on the cadaver. Whatwould you like to see? Ourjudgement may not be the bestin what we should have pre-pared ahead so we are askingthose of you who will attend thecourse to write immediately andlet us know what you would liketo see displayed. Our Reviewweek is for you. If it is possi-ble we want to have those thingsready that you would like to see.It takes time to do the kind ofdissection that will clearly bringout the points of special interestto the many who will be here.We cannot cover the entire listthat may-be requested but withplenty of time to get ready, any-thing within reason may be pre-pared. We have a corps oftrained disisecters ready to go towork on a subject and we anx-iously await your orders.

returned recently from awinter vacation trip to Guatem-ala. A visit to relatives wasmade the main excuse but fromwhat we heard the relativesfigured very little in the delight-ful events of the months trip.New Orleans, the boat trip acrossthe Gulf, Guatemala harbor, thecity, a trip into the inland, fish-ing, sightseeing, Indian rugs,baskets, pottery and everythingthat goes to make an ideal va-cation trip into !a new land werefeatures that sped the time. Amonth is too little to even get agood start in such a fascinatingland.

Dr. L. D. AndersonWe are fortunate in being able

to add Dr. Anderson of Boise,Idaho, to our Post GraduateFaculty for this year. Amongthe various plans for this inten-sive week of Post Graduate Re-view and Clinic is that of mak-ing osteopathic diagnosis andosteopathic technic a major partof the course. Dr. Anderson hasa well earned reputation as ateacher and demonstrator ofthese most important subjects.

OUR DEPARTMENT OF PATHOLOGY(Continued from Page 1)

our graduates informed on the latest developments that theymay in turn serve their patients better.

For purposes of study the course is divided into threesemesters of ninety hours each. The student begins with thestudy of General Pathology including the degenerations. Cir-culatory disturbances, inflamation and repair, tumors and thepathology of the osteopathic lesion follow under this generalheading. Special pathology of the organs is given during thesecond semester. This, in connection with the several tractsof the body includes a study of the effect of the osteopathiclesion on structure and function.

The third semester covers a more exhaustive study of thevital organs and the ductless gland system together with areview of the entire course.

During the course and correlated with the variousdivisions, a complete laboratory schedule is maintained whichtakes the student thru the preparation and definition of thetissues. -Adequate laboratory space is provided with modernequipment in the way of slides and microscopes and a specialpreparation laboratory for new material that is constantlycoming in. An important feature of the laboratory is themuseum. Here the student may study the many specimensprepared and mounted in glass jars and each with a casehistory explaining the change from the normal. The specimensin the museum together with the microscopic laboratory bringvividly to the student both the gross and microscopic phases ofthe abnormalities that the human body may suffer.

Drs. Owen and Gordon are responsible for the lectureand laboratory work in this subject and are constantly alertfor the newer facts related to the Department of Pathology.

AssembliesFor the past month, with the

aid of the Sigma Sigma Phi, theassemblies have been run onschedule with the usual varietyand interest. A movie from thecollection of Dr. Halladay, tak-ing us on a trip thru the East,proved of great historical value.Students who have not been tothe many historical spots extend-ing from Washington up intoMaine enjoyed the opportunityvia the picture route.

On February 18 the studentbody and visitors attending theSixth District meeting witnesseda fine surgical film from the li-brary of Davis and Geck.

The Atlaas Club sponsored theprogram of February 25 andprovided the assembly with out-side talent of note. Mark Ger-lach, taking the stand, an-nounced the Drake Quartette, anexceptional musical organizationwith a great variety of numbers.Gene Henderson followed with aseries of immitations that couldnot be mistaken. A feature ofthe program was a prize offeredby the French Way Cleaners,this being won by Piaul Kim-berly. The Atlas Club is to becongratulated for securing isuchhigh grade entertainment forour program.

March 4 was given over to thePhi Sigma Gamma fraternity andthe time again proved too short.Dr. Sawdey gave a most inter-esting talk on the importance ofdental diagnosis and illustratedhis many important points withslides plainly showing the va-riations of pathology in the alve-olar processes and teeth. Twoof the upper classes were privil-eged to hear him following theassembly hour.

Father Ford, our friend fromDowling High, was welcomed the11th of March. His talk wasagain along very practical lineslargely relative to the duty of

the physician attending a familyof Catholic faith. Father Fordalso spoke briefly on Sterilizationand Mercy Killing.

The band in its usual form ap-pears regularly and on specialoccasions is assisted by theHepatic Trio consisting of Wid-mer, Bunge and Johnson.

To ChicagoDr. Arthur D. Becker, presi-

dent of the college, attended acommittee meeting of the As-sociated Colleges in Chicago onFebruary 26th, having to dowith the consideration of a curri-cular survey.

THE A. O. A.-sent us a report of the

publicity thruout the countryfollowing Dr. Halladay's Ohiotrip. Over 200 inches wereprinted in 21 'states extendingacross the country. About halfof this space was in the state ofOhio and this proves the favor inwhich osteopathy is held in thatsection. On to Cincinnati.

DR. CHARLIE GAHAN-of Kirksville and well

known thruout the professiondied February 26. We do nothave the details. Skipper wasa friend to all and will be missedby many. Since his graduationhe has been proprietor of theA. S. O. Book Store.

DR. J. P. SCHWARTZ--of the hospital and col-

lege, is billed to appear at theOklahoma State Osteopathic Con-vention April 13 and 14.

Prof. in Ethics: "I will lec-ture today on liars. How manyof you have read the twenty-fifthchapter?"

Nearly all raised their hands.Prof: "That's fine. You're

the very group to whom I wishto speak. There is no twenty-fifth chapter.

THE LOG BOOK

The regular February CircuitThe regular February Circuit

of Iowa District societies hasjust been completed. Dr. EarlLaughlin, Jr., Assistant Surgeon,Laughlin Hospital, Kirksville,Mo., was the guest speaker se-lected by officers of the variousdistricts. His practical lectureson the "Acute Abdomen" and"Problems of the Prostate" werekeenly appreciated by exception-ally large groups at Ottumwa,Cedar Rapides, Osage and DesMoines. Dr. Laughlin was in-terviewed on the air by an an-nouncer of WMT, Cedar Rapids,on the subject of OsteopathicSurgery.

During the continued illnessof Dr. John M. Woods, duties ofthe Presidents office have beenplaced in the hands of the vice-president, Dr. W. C. Chappel,Mason City. From his volumin-ous files of official correspond-ence copy accumulated since lastJune 1st, Dr. Chappell presentedinteresting items of "State Af-fairs" to the districts in meetingin Cedar Rapids, Osage, DesMoines and Council Bluffs. (Of-ficial notice from Fifth Districtadvised of their desire not to co-operate with other districts andthe State Society in this circuit).

Weather, roads and auto pro-vided uninterrupted comfort asthe undersigned piloted Drs.Laughlin and Chappell over the1,200 mile circuit . Considerableof program time was given overto the Secretary for presenting"Osteopathy in a ChangingWorld," and evening discussionson the "A.O.A. Regional Con-ference" held in Chicago on Feb-ruary 5. Valuable contributionsfrom that same conference werepresented by Dr. A. D. Beckerin Des Moines and by the chair-man of the Legislative Commit-tee, Dr. S. H. Klein, in DesMoines and Council Bluffs.

The program in Des Moineswas held in the auditorium ofthe college beginning with theregular Friday morning assem-bly to which the membership ofthe district was invited. Musicby the college band and a surgi-cal film thru the courtesy ofDavis and Geek, were given un-der the direction of Dr. H. V.Halladay. Many of the membersattended and were ready for theregular program which immedi-ately followed.

our girls took part, not in thecapacity of players but physi-cians. Ruth Paul, Bernie Moel-ler, Louise Michael, Velma Geh-man and Beryl Freeman were onhand during the tournament toadminister any treatment neces-sary. The girls report very lit-tle to do in the way of first aidor serious injury, but they en-joyed the meet and the hospital-ity of Mrs. Johnson, the officialhostess. Sixteen girls teamsfrom all over the state of Iowacompeted these three days andwhen the final shot was fired theteam from West Bend stood outin front.

"Brain Dusting"

Every year, about this season,the busy and competant house-wife begins to get a far-awaylook in her eye and you eitherknow, or soon find out, thathouse cleaning time is hereagain. Pretty much everythingin the house gets 'turned overand re-evaluated. Some thingsget repaired and polished up andhave their usefulness renewed.Many things get thrown out.They have either served a pur-pose and are to be discarded, orit has been determined that theydid not measure up to expecta-tio;ns and are not worth keeping.It is to be expected that a num-ber oif new purchases will benecessary to maintain the dig-nity and liveableness of thehome.

Dr. Wm. Osler was an enthu-siastic advocate of what he waspleased to call "brain dusting."It refers to a mental housecleaning and refurnishing. Itwas his idea that it shouldcome at more or less regularintervals. Mental furnishingsneed to be turned over and re-evaluated. New ideas and newdiscoveries must be incorporated.Certain things may need to, btediscarded. Some of the thingsthat we know are not so. It isgood to find that out. Or otherthings we frequently find wehave had the wrong slant andwe need to mill around with ourcolleagues and get such wrongslants set straight.

We are inviting you to joinus in our Week of Graduate Re-view and IClinic. We will beglad to have you here. We be-lieve if you come, you will beglad. Get in the habit of anannual "brain dusting."

Assemblies

About the middle of eachsemester Dr. Becker is calledupon to take over the assemblyand bring us back to our feetagain. These intimate talkstaken from over thirty years ofexperience and close observationmean moire than just a briefpause in the week. On March18 we were privileged to hearthese encouraging statementsbas!ed on the theme of the en-durance of osteopathic princi-ples. Dr. Becker comparedOsteopathy and other method'sof theraphy, bringing out thefact that the basic scientificclaims of osteo'pathic practicehave not changed .in the morethan fifty years of their applica-tion. "The practice of Osteo-pathy has expanded greately onthese same principles announcedin 1874 by our founder, Dr. A.T. Still, but th'e original ideastill prevails. The reason thatit has not changed while othermethods are constantly under-going changes is that Osteopathyis founded on fact and notfancy," said Dr. Becker. State-ments like the above strengthenall of us. We feel assured thatour time is not wasted when weare in a work that is proving.itsvalue more each day.

On Tuesday, March 22 wewere honored by having with usDr. J. E. Rogers, former presi-dent of the A. O. A. and in-spector of the colleges. After astrenuous pteriod of inspectionwe felt it would rest the gooddoctor to take a little time offand talk to the student body.Dr. Rogers is a graduate of ourcollege and we feel that when hecomes to Des Moines he owesi usthat much real personal atten-tion and we were happy to hearhis thots on the major theme of"Conquest." The attention giventhis talk was evidence of theinterest of the student body andwe again thank Dr. Rogers forthe inspiration he left with us.

A double feature on FridayMarch 25th made the assemblyone of considerable note. TheSigma Sigma Phi had alreadyplanned the assembly but withthe opportunity of seeing Dr.;Bashor's special..film we man-aged to split the time betweenthe two features. Entertainmentwas provided by talent from theAmerican Institute of Businessin the form of a fine quartetteand a young lady accordianist.These numbers were encored un-til the show had to be stoppedinstead of going on. We hopeat some future date we can havethis group of entertainers backand allow them more time . Thefilm presented by Sigma SigmaPhi and Phi Sigma Gamma thruthe kindness of Dr. ErnestBashor was unique. The rarecase discovered by him and hisoperation to correct the path-ology was something to be seenonly once in an age. The iphotog-raphy was excellent and being innatural colors made it muchmore impressive and realistic. Agreat debt of gratitude is owedto Dr. Bashor for recording thisunusual case and giving us theprivilege of practically beingpresent at the operation.

April first proved somewhat ofa fooler altho the Delta Omegahad in all sincerity planned aspeaker for the occasion. Thespeaker, a member of the legis-lative body of the state, found atthe last minute that he had' tomeet with a committee and call-ed to extend his iregrets. Withthis short notice the band puton a rehersal land we had a lotof fun anyway. Virg resurrectedan old biand march and with thepiano and banjo faking, blastedit thru with gusto and to an ap-plause that probably calls, for anencore soon. "Whistle WhileYou Work' 'and "Ten LittleGirls" went over with assistanceby the audience and the HepaticTrio. Dr. Becker added to thejoy of the occasion by announc-ing the Easter Vacation datesand' also the date for the CollegePicnic. No one left the assemblyin a bad humor. For all of theabove the band was; on the joband as usual adding to the hil-rity with an occasional blue note.

Boys State Basket BallThe recent State Biasket Ball

Tournament furnished a lot ofwork and considerable emerg-ency experience for several ofthe Senior boys. Those whowere assigned to this work car-ried out their part of the pro-gram perfectly and they are tobe complimented on the fineservice they gave in every re-spect. They were on the joband proved their efficiency bytaking care of some injuries thatif neglected would have provedserious and given the opposingteams the advantage.

Many cases of Charlie Horsewere treated. This is the com-mon injury and to be expectedespecially since this year theplay is much faster and moreexhausting. Floor burns, badankles, infected fingers, blistersand several knee and anklesprains were frequent. Head-ache, minor infections and di-gestive disturbances were alsoon the list. One of the boys onthe championship team develop-ed Asthma and by judicioustreatment he was able to playwhen most needed and aidedmaterially in winning the statechampionship for his team. Afine piece of work and a veryspectacular one was that of PeteMarston during the last minuteof play when he went on thefloor and worked out a badcramp in the star player's legenabling him to go on and con-tinue the game. Our Seniorswere complimented highly bythe coaches and others at themeet and we are proud of theirfine record this year.

This clinical experience is onlya small part of the actual con-tact-with-cases plan in theeducation of our ,student body.The fact that these Seniors wereable to act in the capacity ofphysicians proves the efficiencyof our methods of instruction-didactic and practical.

Plans for theQualifying Exams and the eras-ure of the few delinquencieshave been dealt with and thegraduating class advised accord-ingly. Considerable time hasbeen spent on making prepara-tions for the Review and Post-Graduate Week which immedi-ately follows the work of thesemester and from indicationswill prove to be a busy one witha full attendance.

The faculty meeting heldMarch 18th, was a complete suc-cess due to the kindness and hos-pitality of Dr. H. J. Marshall.Dr. and Mrs. Marshall openedtheir home to the entire groupand succeeded in establishinggood humor even at the expenseof comfort by initiating the eve-ning with a banquet that thehome cooks heard about. Theone fly in the ointment was nota fly at all but a cleverly dis-guised celluloid fish served toDr. H. A. Graney. We pickedthis out of the confusion thatensuled.

Graney-"Why the fish?"Marshall-"It's Lent."Graney-"Go back to the

neighbors and borrow somefood."

Dr. Graney finally had hisway.

Preceeding and following thedinner the Marshall youngsters,Katherine, Barbara and Harry,Jr., entertained with music andreadings.

Dr. Halladay of the facultyresponded to President Becker'scall and offered for the edifica-tion of the assemblage an articleby Dr. Horace C. Pitkin whichappeared in the January, 1937issue of the Journal of Bone andJoint Surgery. In this articleDr. Pitkin soundly berates themanipulative method of therapyand then goes ahead and recom-mends its use, even illustratingclearly some osteopathic technicthat has been in use in our pro-fession for many years. Andyet we think the ;M.D.s havesomething on us. A round tableof interesting ideas and view-points followed, several membersof the faculty taking part beingled by Dr. Becker. The meetingclosed, at a late hour with allreluctant to leave and with aunanamous vote of thanks toDr. and Mrs. Marshall and familyfor an exceptional evening.

On April first the board andfaculty met for their regularmonthly meeting. Final arrange-ments were made for the Quali-fying Exams to be given the Sen-iors and plans for the publica-tion of a new catalog were dis-cussed. Dr. Becker introducedDr. B. L. Cash of the faculty andstaff of the hospital who, withthe aid of his view box and many

X-Ray films, brought out someexceedingly important points indiagnosis.

With the semester coming toa close and the time gettingshort Dr. Becker took advantageof the opportunity to remind thefaculty that there are manythings to be done yet before theclose of another successful yearat the college.

Three Queens

Dr. F. M. Crawford (DMSCO'32) of Parma, Mo., enjoyed theunique experience of deliveringtriplets February 21 and 22.Two of the girls were born be-fore midnight and the other af-ter, which right now brings upthe question of how the birth-days will be celebrated. Dr.Crawford reports the totalweight 181/4 pounds and addsthe good news that the motherand babies are all in perfectcondition. We hope Marionlooked carefully in all the cor-ners so as not to miss a couplemore. We congratulate Dr.Crawford and hope he will beable to report a little increaseeach year.

Drake Relays AgainAs in the past the Seniors were

again called upon to :help carefor athlete's at the annual DrakleRelays. This is just another ofthe advantages of being associat-ed with our college. This yearthe management provided a spec-ial room with 'equipment for theuse of the boys and beginningThursday afternoon they werekept busy most of the time. Ger-lach, O'berski, Templeton,O'Shana, Haight, Luby and Hullwere assigned to the colleges: andLeigh, Heckathorn, Munroe,Ellisi, Greenhouse and Feldmanwere working with the HighSchools. Dr. Halladay took oc-casion to keep a watchful eye onthe workers but spent most ofhis Relay time helping to organ-ize the National Athletic Train-ers Association.

Weather the first day wasthreatening but Saturday was aperfect day and nine Drake rec-ords went into the discard. Thisbig athletic circus is somethingto be a part of. Several visitorswere present from Kirksville.

TorontoFor the past several weeks a

good deal has been in the papersof Toronto relative to the stand-ing of the osteopathic profes-sion there and their work. Wehope they succeed in recoveringthe title of "Doctor" and wehope they show thru their newlyorganized clinic that they aremore capable than the medicalmen who are trying to give osteo-pathic treatment in the hospitalsthere. Some very terse state-ments may be found in the pap-ers lately but it is easy to seethat the osteopaths in Torontohave mad'e an impression on thepeople of the city so effectivethat the M. D.'s have been 'com-pelled to imitate osteopathy inorder to supply the d'emand forit. After all these years of con-flict we believe that the Torontogroup is going to reap its justrewards. Drs. Pocock, O'Con-nor, Johnson, Jaquith, Neilson,Carlos, DeJardine and Lade aretn he conngratulated.

Dinner and DanceHistory was really made at

Still College on April 22. Forthe first time in our memoryseven organizations under theleadership of the Local Interfra-ternity Council drove five milesto the Wayside Inn and enjoyed,all too briefly, a fine chicken din-ner at their own individual ex-pense. One hundred sixty-onestudents sat down together at6:30 and had an excellent dinnerand thoroly enjoyed being to-gether. Jerry O'b!erski, presidentof the local Council presided andcalled upon Drs. Becker, Halla-day and Owen of the faculty. Re-sponses were also made by Vel-ma Gehman of Delta Omega, BillWeiss of Lambda Omicron Gam-ma, Bill Daniels of Iota TauSigma, Armin Frank of SigmaSigma Phi, Gordon Fisher ofPhi Sigma Gamma, IBrentonSchiffer of Atlas and NeilKitchen of Psi Sigma Alpha. Allexpressed the wish that thte In-terfraternity Dinners be con-tinued and at a time when theprogram could be extended some.All seemed to enjoy the affair toomuch to want to leave earlywhich was necessary for anotherimportant function was plannedfor the remainder of the eve-ning. We doubt if there is an-other college in the countrywhere the organizations get to-gether and sincerely enjoy it.Howard Sporck, who was incharge of arrangements for thetime, place and menu, is to becongratulated.

The same evening was dele-gated by the Student Committeeas the night of the second All-student Dance.:-- This-was held atthe Pla-lan Ball Room and withCarl Ellis' orchestra on the stagethe quality of the music wasl as-sured. This affair was a fittingclimax to the dinner of the sameevening and the students incharge left nothing to be wishedfor in the entire pogram. Atthe intermission Lindquistbrought out about 15 fine prizesand with Dick Simpson holdingthe hat, Dr. Halladay drew outnumbers awarding these trophiesto as many lucky students'. LeoSanchez nearly broke a leg hur-rying forward for the grandprize, a table radio. The gen-erosity of several of our DesMoines merchants will be remem-bered and the hard work of thecommittee is to be commended.We looked for that promised BigApple dance by Richardson andGoeken but failed to see it. Wewill be looking forward toanother affair of a like naturenext semester. 'May we repeat,"We like it here at Still College."

THE LOG BOOK

N. O. I. C.Every member of the National

Osteopathic Interfraternity Coun-cil is set for the Cincinnati meet-ing. We are ready right now.

All reservations have beenmade. The menus have been se-lected. Entertainment has beencontracted for. The businessmeetings have been timed to theprogram. The prices have beenset. All you members in thefield have to do now is to step upto the desk at the end of the linein Cincinnati and get your ticketand you will have the best re-union and dinner you ever at-tended. The Cincinnati 'commit-tees have clicked perfectly andthe local representatives havebeen on the job every minuteuntil this was done. In my sev-eral years experience with thisgroup of organizations this workhas never been done with so lit-tle effort and with such willingcooperation. This bunch has mleon the spot this time for I havenothing to fuss about and that issomething. My skin is black andblue where I have been pinchingmyself to see if I am reallyawake or not.

My sincere thanks to all of youand we know it can be done be-caulse you have done it.

H. V. Halladay.

The close relationship betweenthe organizations of Still College,as was shown at the Interfra-ternity council banquet, was re-ceived with a great amount ofenthusiasm for more gatheringsof that kind. The Interfraternitycouncil 'should be congratulatedfor connecting the organizationsin such a manner. Our fratern-ity is very much interested in itssuccess. We look forward to thenext meeting of this group.

At the present time we areplanning and preparing for ourannual spring dance. It will beheld at the fraternity house onMay 14. The faculty will be in-vited.

It seems that as soon as theleaves began to bud those pecu-liar homesick faces were seenon the majority of the menaround the house, but I'll wagerthat after two weeks of home lifethey will be yearning to get backto Des Moines to study.

It's papa Jack now, and in as-suming the airs of a new father,Jack Miller is passing out theproverbial 'cigars. We extend ourcongratulations to Mr. and Mrs.Jack Miller and welcome the sixpound Anita May. Will she bea future Delta Omega?

At the last meeting of the fra-ternity the election and installa-tion of the new officers had takenplace.

Those elected were:Archon-J. Robertson.Sub-Archon-A. Ferris.Secretary-H. Plautz.Exastase-G. Pease.Phulux-K. Fowler.Treasurer-N. Woodruff.

These men go into office nextsemester. May they have the bestof success.

Our organization wishes you ahappy vacation, may we see youall again next semester.

THE LOG BOOK



President ......... Arthur D. Becker

Faculty Adviser -- H. V. Halladay

Editor._ ----. .E. Harwood


The Primacy ofOsteopathic Concepts

The major premise in osteo-pathic principles, in osteopathicthinking, and in osteopathictreatment is that disturbance infunction and impairment in func-tional capacity and resources, ispredicated upon a loss of struc-tural integrity. That premise isthe key note in physiological har-mony.

The principle behind manytypes of nonosteopathic treat-ment is that of modifying thesymptoms, blowing away thesmoke, covering up the effects orof benumbing the sensorium tothe point where the patient isno longer aware of the disability.In other words, too much of thistype of treatment has for its ob-jective the blotting out of theevidence.

The well trained and properlyqualified osteopathic physicianpins his faith on the principlethat the logical procedure incases of disturbed function is todiscover the cause (find the les-ion) and to remove the cause(normalize lesion pathology).

The pathology associated withthe area of osteopathic lesion notonly impairs tissue function, buteven more important, it actuallylessens the capacity of tissues,neurologically in segmental rela-tion, to function. The functionalresources of such tissues are ac-tually depleted.

In the interesting type of spin-al lesions, designated as the vis-cerogenic or reflex spinal lesions,occurring as a result of visceralirritation or inflammation, thereis a good illustration of the ef-fect of lesion pathology in therole of impairing functional re-sources. These reflex lesions oc-cur and act as maintaining causesof the tissue pathology that pro-duced them. Corre'ction or nor-malization of such reflex lesionssets free the recuperative pow-ers of the involved tissues andrestores normal functioning ca-pacity and full functional re-sources.

There are many measures usedin treatment that will modifyfunction. Normalization of les-ion pathology not only will mod-ify function but it enhances thecapacity of tissue to function.Normalization of lesion pathologymakes available to the patienthis own utmost inherent re-sources.

In osteopathic practice we giveprimacy to osteopathic principles.

Trainers Association

The rapid growth of interestand volume in athletic contestsof all kinds over the entire coun-try has resulted in the develop-ment of a group of workers thathave decided to declare them-selves. There is no doubt butthat trainers associated with ath-letic groups have a very definiteplace and function. They havechanged in the last several yearsfrom the lately remembered indi-vidual with the striped sweaterand derby hat rushing out on thefield with a bucket and a spongeto a responsible, thinking, ser-ious worker who must do thingswith injured athletes to get themback into condition for the nextcontest. The trainer works un-der the direction of the officialphysician for the college or teamand makes a contact that is evenmore intimate than the coach.

With Bill Frey of Iowa StateUniversity at the helm the visit-ing trainers got together andstarted what they hope will bean association that will do muchto not only staighten out thekinks in injured athletes butwill systematize their own workeliminating the rabbits foot andgetting down to real scientificthinking and doing. Dr. Halla-day and Dr. Kramer of DesMoines are charter members ofthe association.

Our PresidentDr. Arthur D. Becker, has had

a rather full speaking schedule.On April 27th he spoke at theChildren's Health Conference atKansas City, on May 4th at theIowa State Convention in DesMoines, on May 9th and 10th atthe West Viginia State Conven-tion at Huntington, and on May18th will speak at the IllinoisState Convention at Rockford.

Bell Hop Relays

Ellis and Luebbers were officialattending physicians at the FortDes Moin'es and Kirkwood hotelsprevious to the annual Bell-HopRelays. Neither of these teamswon so we have no record ofthese offices since that day. Carland Gene both say that the racewas fixed by the importation ofan expert relay team for the win-ners at the last minute. Betterluck next year.

DR. H. V. HALLADAY-recently stepped out of

character and in the same weekexhibited a picture in the LeicaExhibit at the Ft. Des MoinesHotel and also gave a talk onCacti to the Highland Park Gar-dien Club. We understand he gotto the point on the cactus affairbut the picture business was afade-out.

The PicnicAnother All-school affair was

planned and carried out Thurs-day, May 5, in the form of apicnic. The Student Committeefigured on a fine bright sunnyday but they ha:d not consultedthe erratic Spring that is uponus and at the last minute had tochange their plans from Grand-view Park to one of the buildingsat the State Fair Grounds. Yourbusy editor did not arrive untilnearly everyone was seated andinhaling food but it seemed to bea jovial and comfy gang and itwas not quiet enough to heareven a coupling pin drop. If stu-dents have nothing but oldclothes they must have raidedthe neighbors attic for the cos-tumes they exhibited. Nearly,everything in the way of fanycypicnic outfits was on display.Sumptious lunches were providedconsisting of chicken, a salad,beans, bread and butter and asoft drink. The garbage canwas not needed.

Previous to the serving of thelunch the gang enjoyed soft ball,golf and horse shoe pitching andcontinued with these games andothers as soon as they could prythemselves off of the benches inthe dining room. Reports arenot available as to who won thecontests but the next day we didsee who lost in the 'contest withOld Mother Nature. Plenty werelimping and sitting down easyand black-slapping was taboo.We think this was another ex-ample of how our students canget together and really enjoythemselves. Several members ofthe faculty attended and Dr.Facto reverted to a previous eraand participated in a game ofball.

met in convention at the SaveryHotel, Des Moines, May 3 and 4.We have no official report of thisconvention but we have heardsome comment, on the meetingand read an item or two in theDes Moines papers. The pro-gram as published and as car-ried out was good. It offeredvaiety and there.were some not-able speakers from out-state aswell as members of the facultyof the college and state memberswho are all well qualified andknown as authorities. The com-ment made by Dr. R. C. Mc-Caughan should incite those who*did not attend to do somethingbesides sit at home and offernothing. Thetse are the ones whodo most of the kicking. We can-not pay the profession of thisstate a very high compliment ontheir unity when so few attendthe state meeting.

Dr. W. C. Chapppell of MasonCity was elected president. Dr.Rolla Hook of Logan was namedvice president. Dr. F. A. Gor-don of Marshalltown was re-elected secretary-treasurer andDr. S. H. Klein of Des Moineswas renamed to the legislativecommittee for a five year term.We wish these officers a moreconstructive year than the onepast and we pledge our coopera-tion in the publication of thenews and official announcementsof the association, hoping thatan editor will be selected whowill collect news and other itemsand forward the copy to us ontime.

Angina Pectoris With Special Reference To It'sMechanical Causes

(Continued From March Issue)The lesions of the upper thor-

acic vertebrae and of the cervicalvertebrae may by means of theconnections with the vagus havea stimulatory affect on it in sucha way as to produce a vaso-con-striction in the coronaries. Whilethis may not be of such a na-ture as to be serious duringnormal activity of the heart, itwill cause distress due to insuf-ficient blood supply for increasedactivity of the heart due to exer-tion or emotional disturbance.

Rib lesions or these same ver-tebrae lesions may inhibit thevaso dialators leaving the actionof the vaso-constrictors more orless unopposed. The distressmay occur as stated above uponexertion or emotional disturb-ance.

Abnormal reflexes passing tothe heart via the Vagus may bebrought about by reflex disturb-ances thru the medulla. Thesedisturbances can be broughtabout by interference with thereflex arc at the spinal foramina,or due to congestion of the cord(substantiated by Downing'sstatements), or by interferencewith vaso motor control to themedulla (substantiated by Cast-lio's statement).

This vaso-constriction, whilenot noticeable, in normal activityof the heart may during theperiod of cardiac exertion pro-duce an anoxemia or toxicity.This anoxemia or toxicity pro-duces pain which is usually re-flected thru the thorax, one orboth arms and to the base of thescalp thru the great occipital. Itmay also be reflected thru thefacial nerve and to the face andteeth.

The heart may cease actiondue to toxicity and shock, bring-ing about death.

This theory of improper nutri-

tion is advanced by Mackenzieand I believe this is the cause ofthe paroxysimal pain.

D. M. S. C. O.Corporate Board Meets

The official annual meeting of

the Corporate Board of the col-lege was held June 7 at the col-lege building at eight p. m. Theabsence of our president, Dr.

Becker, placed Dean J. P.

Schwartz in the chair. Dr.Becker at this writing is con-

fined to his home but expectsto be out in a few days.

Roll call established a quorumand the business of the boardcontinued. The annual report

attested to by a public account-ant proved that the year hadbeen an improvement over theprevious one. The financial re-port showed a profit which, as inthe past, altho small, means thatthe college is being managed ina most efficient manner. Everymember of the faculty is on thepayroll. The usual overheadand laboratory expense must bemet and new equipment and re-pairs must be provided for in thebudget. The officers and trusteesof the college are to be con-gratulated for their excellentservices of the past year.

With this report in mindPresident Becker's group oftrustees was reelected by un-animous vote as a tribute totheir past record. The one changein the official family was madeat the request of Dr. R. B. Bach-man who asked to be releasedfrom the responsibility of theoffice of treasurer. Dr. H. J.Marshall was elected to fill thisoffice for the ensuing year, Dr.Bachman making the nomina-tion.

Dr. Howard Graney was elect-ed to the Corporate Board.

Several members present ex-pressed their gratification at theprogress the college has madeand promised a renewed effort tohelp increase the student body.

A short meeting of the Trus-tees was called immediately fol-lowing the adjournment of theboard to provide for the electionof the Dean. The coming con-vention at Cincinnati and Sum-mer student activities were dis-cussed. With the election of theDean the officers and trusteesfor the year follow:

President Arthur D. Becker

Secretary Katherine M. Rob-inson

Treasurer Harry J. Marshall

Dean J. P. Schwartz

Trustees R. B. BachmanH. V. HalladayG. E. Fisher

We congratulate these sevenwho will conduct the affairs ofthe college for another year. Wepledge them our support and weknow that our confidence is wellplaced.

The management of a collegeof therapy without an adequateendowment fund is a difficulttask. The confidence and sup-port of the profession is the onlyfactor that will keep most of ourcolleges of osteopathy open.These officials have certainly ful-filled their obligations.

New Catalog

The presses have started onthe new catalog and copies willbe available about the first ofJuly. You will find this editionmore attractive than any prev-ious issue and you will be sur-prised at the several fine illus-trations taken especially for it.

The committee in charge ofpublication has carefully checkedthe statements relative to theadditional requirements that gointo effect beginning with thenext class so that there can beno doubt as to the preliminaryeducational needs of any pros-pective student.

If you wish your name put onthe list for a new catalog writeand one will be sent immediately.

Ifspace permits items will be car-ried in the next issue.

Review WeekAnother successful Post Grad-

uate and Review Week haspassed into history. The trus-tees feel that it was successfulfor the attendance increasedabout twenty percent over lastyear and the class very definite-ly expressed its appreciation forthe week. Over 100 attendedbeing from fourteen states andCanada. Two physicians grad-uating in 1901 came the greatestdistance in time and Dr. RubyHuling traveled the greatest dis-tance in miles being from Hag-erstown, Md. Dr. Mabel Skeelsof Albuquerque, N. M., was aclose second.

The class organized early un-der the leadership of Dr. F. H.Deeks of Winnepeg, Manitobaand at the end of the work pre-sented the college with a gift tothe library of $100.0i0 which ishighly appreciated by the trus-tees.

Drs. Clybourne and Andersonproved to be the main featuresof the week with their foot andgeneral technic. The regularmembers of the faculty werehighly complimented also by theclass many of whom expressedthe desire to return next yearfor another review.

Dr. Ray G. Hulburt of theCentral Office dropped in for aday and brought the glad tidingsof the signing of the Burke-Drew Bill by the President ofthe United States. This bill hadpreviously passed both the Houseand Senate by a unanimous voteand certainly is an importantmilestone in the recognition ofOsteopathy.

The banquet Thursday eve-ning was held at the WaysideInn which is ideal for such anoccasion. Its setting, eightmiles from the city at a bleauti-ful country home, adds to theenjoyment of the famous chickendinners served there. Aboutone hundred rolled up theirsleeves, pinned back their earsand stacked the bones high ontheir plates.

The music, consisting of atrio, was sponsored by Dean J.P. Schwartz and added to thepleasure of the evening. Dr.Schwartz acting in the capacityof toastmaster called upon Dr.Arthur D. Becker, president ofthe college, Dr. F. H. Deeks,president of the class, Dr. RayHulburt of the A. O. A. office,Dr. L. D. Anderson of Boise,Idaho, and Dr. A. F. Waugh,secretary of the class.

Each of these responded andDr. Waugh read the class reso-lutions.

The trustees of the college arevery glad of the opportunity tooffer each year a Post Graduateand Review week. We believethat a concentrated week ofstudy without the formality of aconventional setting really bringsus together. These courses arerapidly becoming a necessity insome states where attendance isrequired in order to maintain thelicense to practice. It will bethe policy of the college here tocontinue this review week and

each year we will try to increaseits usefulness and interest. Wewere sorry that unexpected casesprevented many from attending.We thank those who were ableto be here, making a sacrifice intime and money that we hopewas compensated for by thework given. The following reso-lutions are printed as requestedand will be filed with our rec-ords of this "Fortieth Anniver-sary" Post Graduate and ReviewClass.

"WHEREAS, the PostGraduate Class of DesMoines Still College of Os-teopathy, of 1938, has ap-preciated the opportunitiesfor study for the period ofthe Course of Instruction,May 30th to June 4th inclu-sive, and

The Drew BillThe profession as a whole has

been watching closely the pro-gress being made in Washingtonto pass the Drew Bill amendingthe Federal Employes Compen-sation Law. This bill passed theHouse and Senate by unanimousvote and was laid on the Presi-dent's desk for his signature.This was signed by PresidentRoosevelt June 1 and we havethe following for release fromDr. Hulburt of the Central Of-fice.

June 1, 1938To the Editors of Osteo-pathic Publications:

President Roosevelt hassigned the bill, which passedboth the House of Repre-sentatives and the Senateunder unanimous consentrules, amending the UnitedStates Employees' Compen-sation Act, so that para-graph 5 of Section 40 readsas follows:

"The term 'physician' in-cludes surgeons and osteo-pathic practitioners, withinthe scope of their practiceas defined by State law.

"The term 'medical, sur-gical, and hospital servicesand supplies' includes ser-vices and supplies by osteo-pathic practitioners and hos-pitals, within the scope oftheir practice as defined byState law."

The effect of this is tomake available to Federalemployees coming withinthe provisions of the UnitedStates Employees' Compen-sation Act the services ofosteopathic practitioners inthe manner and to the ex-tent that such services areauthorized by law to be ren-dered within the respectivestates. It does not compelthe United States Em-ployees' Compensation Com-mission to pay every osteo-pathic physician who maybe called by any governmentworkman. The body of theact remains as it was. Com-pensation is not paid for allsickness and injury, butonly for the treatment ofinjury incurred in the lineof duty. The United StatesEmployees' CompensationCommission picks its doc-tors, but it is expected thatit will no longer maintainthe rule which it made morethan 20 years ago barringosteopathic physicians fromreceiving pay under its pro-visions.

Fraternally,Ray G. Hulburt, D. O.

ning July 6 with a breakfast atthe Netherland Plaza has beenplanned for the I. S. 0. group.The three days following will be:merged with the O. & O.

Review

Another college year has roll-ed across the stage and hasbecome history. I must confessto a feeling of satisfaction in thefact that it was a good year, ayear of growth, a year of de-velopment and a year of prog-ress. Such a year gives con-fidence, new determination andnew vision. It furnishes a solidplatform for future plans andcontinued growth.

I wish to acknowledge and toexpress appreciation to the largenumber in the osteopathic pro-fession who have contributed sogenerously of time, energy andconstructive effort to our prog-ress during the past year. With-out that kind of cooperation andtangible interest, we feel thatour own efforts would have beenmeasurably discounted. I cannot escape the conviction thatthe continued success of the os-teopathic colleges is the intimateconcern of the entire profession.

Our student enrollment duringthe n.ast year w.a ths ltroc.,+ fo-r-several years. The characterand measure of scholastic attain-ment was definitely superior.Quite as usual, our clinic con-stantly overtaxed our ability tocare for it in any thing like anadequate manner. We need toincrease our student man powerif we are to capitalize the fullvalue of this great clinical teach-ing opportunity.

It was inspiring to wind upthe years work with the mostsuccessful week of Post Grad-uate Review and Clinic in thehistory of the college. One hun-dred twenty osteopathic physi-cians from fourteen states andCanada were registered. Expres-sions of appreciation and com-ments of approval were heard onall sides. The program was wellbalanced and osteopathic technicwas given its proper prominentplace in the general scheme. Thevisiting physicians were mostenthusiastic in urging the con-tinuance of this Post GraduateCourse.

At the risk of appearingfacetious I am seriously temptedto quote an expression from apopular radio program. "We arehappy about the whole thing."

Prexy Injured

Dr. Arthur D. Becker accom-panied by Mrs. Becker and Dr.Ray Hulburt started Friday p.m., June 3 on a triangular tour,the last six miles of which willbe long remembered. Returningfrom Kansas City where hepicked up Dr. Alan Becker ofWichita, the trip was made withease and security until about sixmiles south of Des Moines, Mrs.Becker decided to relinquish thewheel to Dr. Becker. The ma-chine was parked on the should-ers and Dr. Becker got out towalk around the rear of the carto get in on the drivers side. Adrunk, returning home and driv-ing south, drove entirely acrossthe road and carromed off of thefront left fender and bumper ofDr. Becker's parked car whichbeing in neutral at the time wasprojected backward knockingDr. Becker to the ground andpinning him under the rearbumper and fender so that helpfrom a passing car was neededto extricate him. A call forstate police was put in and they,upon arrival, took the situationin hand arresting the drunkendriver and releasing Dr. Beckerfrom any responsibility for theaccident. X-Ray examinationshowed no broken bones but ourpresident is badly bruised and issuffering from some very severesprains of the spine and extremi-ties. He was most fortunate inescaping from the impact of thecar with as few injuries as hehas. We will see him out in afew days but it will take severalweeks to complete his recovery.Mrs. Becker and Alan sufferedonly from shock and a ratherbad shaking.

The trip was made primarilyto meet with the graduatingclass at the Kirksville collegewho requested that Dr. Beckergive their commencement ad-dress. Dr. George Laughlin,president of the Kirkville collegetook this occasion to honor Dr.Becker with a diploma awardinghim the honorary degree "Doctorof Science in Osteopathy" and indoing so reviewed for those as-sembled the enviable record ofservice of Dr. Becker to the pro-fession since his graduation fromthe Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy in 1903. After theprogram Saturday in Kirksville,Dr. and Mrs. Becker drove toKansas City to meet their son,Dr. Alan Becker who had plan-ned a few days at home.

THE LOG BOOK

i 3L. .(i ( .. IThis is the first official release

of Society news to the Log Bookby this administration. The factthat our State meeting falls al-most on the dead-line date fornews release to the Log Bookmade it practically impossiblefor the present administration toprepare a release for the monthof May.

Let me say that our future useof these columns will indicateour appreciation of the School'soffer of the Log Book to our So-ciety for getting news to ourState and National members.

We regret very much thatduring the last half of the pastadministration we have beenobliged to carry on without theable direction of PresidentWoods. Dr. Woods, due to ill-ness, has been unable to performhis regular duties since the firstof the year. He has our sym-pathy and sincere wishes for aspeedy recovery.

This is also a fitting place tomention the many fine qualitiesthat characterize our A. O. A.president and official secretaryand their excellent contributionsto our Society. Their devotionto their duties is an inspirationto us all.

The growing confidence by theIowa practitioners in the presentofficers of the administration isdemonstra.ted in the constantly1Iicreasit Ig Im 111'erb111ip. ATL UoIlast meeting thirteen made ap-plication for membership whichexpanded our rolls to a total of233, which is the largest mem-bership ever attained by the So-ciety. This, we feel, is very en-couraging to what our member-ship was some four years agowhen it had dwindled to a mereseventy members. This showsthat the past administration hasnot been idle but that it hasbeen most aggressive and hasbeen able to turn over to thepresent administration a Societywith a healthy cooperative mem-bership equal to any peak mem-bership of all time. The factthat our committeemen of thedifferent departments showedmore devotion to their duties inthe different departments thanfor many past years was demon-strated by the necessity of theextra heavy business sessionswhich took twice the ordinarytime for the reading of manyfine reports and the increasedbusiness entailed by this activity.

The devotion of our Secretaryand Treasurer to his dutiesshould be an inspiration to usall to do better work. Wie weredelighted at the unsolicited reac-tions of the Central Office ontheir receipt of the copy of theAgenda prepared by our secre-tary for the deliberation of ourTrustees. Dr. McCaughan statedthat it was the most completepreparation for any State Con-vention they had ever received.

I must say here, that I ammost happy that we have Dr.Gordon's services as secretaryfor another year. I find his helpin selecting committeemen hasbeen most valuable and whenthat task of appointing all com-mitteemen has been completedand when the appointments areall approved and accepted, weshould have a set-up that willdo a real constructive work.

Resolutions were passed atthe State Convention of the IowaSociety of Osteopathic Physiciansand Surgeons, asking the profes-sion to organize County Societiesin all of the counties of the statein which Osteopathic Physiciansare practicing. It was suggestedthat if there were an insufficientnumber to organize in any onecounty; two counties might or-ganize together. Will each sec-retary please report the namesof your officers to Dr. J. I.Royer of Woodward, Ia., if youdid not do so at the convention.By doing your share in this or-ganization work you can be ofa greater service to Osteopathyand will be better able to securethe cooperation of your countymedical administration.

A State Convention

During the last week in MayiWe (Mrs. Facto, the boys, Loui;and Lonnie, and their little dog"Penny") made a trip to Littly,Rock, Arkansas, to attend theOsteopathic State Conventionheld at the Albert Pike Hotel onMay 27 and 28.

Altho the number of OsteQopathic Physicians in the Stateis small, in comparison toIowa, the attendance at the Con-vention was nearly one hundredpercent. I am sure that I havenever talked to a group wh?seemed to appreciate more thelectures and the technique de-monstrations.

On Friday evening they heldtheir banquet with Dr. Chapi-acting as toastmaster. After thebanquet they held their businessmeeting.

PUBLISHED MONTHLY BY THE DES MOINES STILL COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHY

Volume 15 July 15, 1938 Number 7

Dr. Ella Still DiesThe many friends and former

students of Dr. Ella will beshocked to learn of her death.For the past several months shehas been failing rapidly due toher advanced age and organicdisease. During the past sevenyears, since the death of Dr. S.S. Still, she has made her home

ith her daughter, Mrs.. Guy;Brunk, in Des Moines and untilher health failed, occasionallymade a visit to the college thatshe and Dr. S. S. founded fortyyears ago.

Dr. Ella D. Still was born inHolton, Me., in 1856. She movedto Kansas as a small child andthere met and married Dr. S. S.Still in 1877. For a time they-made their home in Maryville,Mo., associated with the Teach-ers College in that city. Laterboth entered the AmericanSchool of Osteopathy and grad-uated together in 1895. Drs. S.S. and Ella then came to DesMoines and together with othersinterested in osteopathic educa-tion founded our present college.

During her many years ofclose association with the pro-

\fession Dr. Ella carved for her-.self a notable name. As a teach-er in her specialty, that ofGynecology, she had no peer.Those who have had the priv-ilege of sitting in her classestwill remember her queenly bear-ing and dignity and yet her keenwit and ability to handle the oc-casional embarassing situation.Beginning in 1898 her teachingand practice continued until1924 when she and Dr. S. S. re-tired from any active participa-tion in college affairs.

i Death came to her June 21 atthe home of her daughter andshe was laid to rest beside Dr.S. S. in Woodland Cemetery, DesMoines, the following day. As atouching evidence of her interestin the college and her love andrespect for the profession sherequested that her pallbearers beselected from the student bodyof our institution.9' The Rev. Paul E. Becker,

tstor of the University Church;f Christ conducted the services.

AIis sermon appropriately eulogi-,id Dr. Ella's long life of service'bit only in her profession butlJso as a citizen of the commun-

it-y in which she resided. Im-mhediate relatives attending the96rvices were her daughter, Mrs.Brunk and two grandsons, Sum-merfield Brunk of Manila, P. I.and Guy George Brunk of DesMoines. Mrs. George A. Still,daughter-in-law, of Kirksville.. (Continued on Page 4)',}

Dallas Next

The Lone Star State won adecisive battle over its rivals inthe race for the next conventionby mustering not only its own100% army, but also by strategyof every form. Armadillos, balesof cotton, banners, flags and atroupe of entertainers made theentire convention at Cincinnatiaware of the city in the southernempire that finally roped and tiedthe profession for the next of-ficial meeting. Well, we were forDallas, and we make you thethreat that we will be thereearly and stay late, for we havealready sampled the brand ofhospitality that Texas furnishes,in the form of several state con-ventions, and we know that theyhave everything we will need toput on a convention that will besomething to shoot at, and notwith a gun, either. We thinkthis is a fine tribute to the menand women of Texas and neigh-boring states who have for manyyears worked so well in officialcapacities. The eyes have turnedand for the next twelve monthswill be on Texas.

Arthur Alien of Minneapoliswill, as was expected, lead theprocession for the next year. Thisis another tribute to the talentsand fine work of many years.Art has been in the harness fora long time and we know thisnext year of osteopathic progressis in good hands. Frank Jonesof Macon, Ga., is our President-elect. This is another gesture inrecognition for service. Gleasonof Kansas, and Hoselton of SouthCarolina, and Mary Golden ofIowa were placed in the v-pchairs in the order named, andhave proved their worth already.

Georgia Smith of Los Angeleswill assume the chair vacated byMary Golden as leader of the 0.W. N. A., and we are sure thiswas a good selection.

Larrimore continues at thehead of the I. S. 0., and havinghad experience in the past as-sures this group of able leader-ship.

Our own president, Dr. ArthurD. ;Becker, was elected presidentof the Associated Colleges. Dr.Becker enters this office with anew era facing the colleges. Theadded preliminary requirementin education will have an effecton registration and the future ofsome of our institutions will de-pend largely on how this require-ment affects enrollment. Therewill be problems to be solved and

we can trust our president towork out the solution.

The program for next year'sconvention is in the able handsof Collin Brook of St. Louis, whowill have associated with himCharles Soden of Philadelphia.The local Dallas assistant has notbeen named, but we know thenext program will be something'to look forward to.

Dr. Halladay was again en-trusted with the job of keepingthe fraternities and sororities inorder. The work of this officehas increased so that Dr. L. J.Grinnell, of Palestine, Texas, waselected to the office of presidentof the Council to assume someof the responsibility.

The culmination of a romancebeginning at our college was abit of news early one morninglate in the week. Dr. HowardKale of Seattle and MarybethZiegler of Cincinnati purchaseda marriage license on Wednes-day, July 13. They will practicein Seattle. Congratulations andgood wishes are extended tothem. Both were popular stu-dents while in college. Marybethhas been interning at Denver un-til recently, and Howard finishedhis internship at Seattle severalmonths ago.

The Still College breakfast wasa success, there being about 40present. Cy Clybourne, presidentof the Alumni Association, pre-sided and called upon Drs. Beck-er and Rogers for short talks.Mrs. Becker also responded to acall, telling the group about thestanding of the college as sheobserved it from her viewpoint.A committee headed by Dr. Hal-laday was instructed to instituteways and means of establishinga permanent endowment fund.Following introductions it wasdecided to change! the hour ofthe Alumni meeting, and in thefuture it will probably be heldat the same time of other meet-ings of a like nature as a dinnerprobably Thursday of the week.

We like to roam around andlook at things and hear whatothers think about the conven-tion. In a brief cross sectionsuch as this we can touch ononly the high lights. It was an-other convention, and like thosethat have passed, has its points,some of which were of the kindthat get under your skin.

We still think of a conventionin a mechanical sort of a way.We spend a good part of ourtime thinking mechanically andwhen we plan anything the me-

chanics of the situation seems tobe uppermost in our mind. Me-chanically this convention couldhave been better.

Registration, which is the firstevent in the life of a conventionvisitor, was well taken care of.Convenient and with plenty ofroom. The information desk washandy. Then the trouble started.

The meetings and exhibitorswere spread over three floors ofthe Netherland Plaza, and partof the official convention over-flowed into the Gibson, billed asone block away. As for us, wegot lost any number of timestrying to find our way around,and we will never believe thatthe South Exhibit Room wasSouth. Never at any time wasit in that direction, but at dif-ferent times it assumed the po-sition of the other three majorpoints of the compass. The PressRoom switched floors and direc-tions on us three times and yetRay Hulbert said he was notaware of it. We have paid tencents many a time at a carnivalto be admitted into a MysticMaze. This maze was well wortha dollar. We think it providedmore fun for those who weretrying to find something thanany feature we have had at con-ventions for a good while. Theexhibitors seemed to be enjoyingit, too, for visitors frequentlyfound themselves back at thestarting point not having seenbut half of the exhibits. IF-thecooling system had not brokendown the day before the start ofthe convention I am sure that wewould be less critical of this planfor we would have been ableto hurry about without perspir-ing so freely. We were not sowell pleased with the plan of theconvention but to counteract thatlet us state that the Cincinnatigroup was there on the job ingood humor and working everyminute of the day to do thethings necessary for the care andexpedition of our needs. Asidefrom the discomfort there was noother major complaint.

The weather was a little warm.Fortunately the call girl at thedesk of our hotel warned us eachmorning about the temperatureand we were prepared for theheat, but not the humidity. Welike our heat, but we like it dry.Thursday p. m. we were greetedwith one of the "unusual" down-pours which came at a most in-convenient time, as it was ac-companied by severe lightning

It seems unnecessary to callyour attention to our presidentDr. Becker assumed this respon-sibility three years ago feelingthat in this institution he hadthe opportunity to put over aprogram of real osteopathicteaching. He has done this andwith the evidence of results isinspired to continue this muchneeded plan. His record since hisgraduation from this collegeover thirty years ago is an en-viable one. His osteopathic ex-perience has been gained inpractice and in the close associa-tion with college work and thecentral office of our profession.Every honor that can be be-stowed by our profession hasbeen earned by Dr. Becker.

As evidence of his popularityand respect within the profes-sion, he has traveled severalthousand miles this last yearmeeting state and district con-ventions in every direction of thecompass. As president of thiscollege Dr. Becker inspires theteaching of unadulterated osteo-pathy. He has often said, "It isour business to teach osteopathyfirst, last and all the time. Ifour students are to be successfulthey must have something thatwill get results. Osteopathy willdo that better than any othertype of therapy". Under hisguidance your students will begraduated osteopathic physicians.

Cincinnati

The forty-second consecutiveannual convention of the Ameri-can Osteopathic Association haspassed into history. The Con-vention Committee of Cincinnatiproved to the world that theyknow the many intricacies of thetask of playing host.

The national osteopathic con-vention is not a three-ring show,but it could more accurately bedescribed as a forty-ring one. Ithink there never was evidentmore sincere and active interestin the many sessions of the gen-eral program and of the varioussectional and group meetings.

Dr. R. McFarlane Tilley, theprogram chairman, set an all-time high in convention pro-grams. One wonders how longit may be possible for each yearto see continued growth in ex-cellence.

My very warm personal friendDr. Frank Jones of Macon, Geor-gia, was elected president-elect.Our sincere congratulations tohim, and our pledge of heartycooperation.

Des Moines was honored in theelection of Dr. Mary Golden asthird vice-president of the A. O.A., a most fitting tribute to Dr.Golden in recognition of hersplendid work as president ofthe O. W. N. A. for the past twoyears.

Many matters of policy requir-ing most careful considerationcame up for evaluation and deci-sion and were handled in a fear-less and competent manner.Many forward steps of momen-tous importance were the resultof the work of your house of del-egates and your board of trus-tees.

Our very efficient and abletrustee from Iowa, Dr. F. A. Gor-don, was reelected for a three-year term by the highest votegiven to any trustee, a true es-timate of the high regard of hiscoworkers in the House of Dele-gates.

I am firmly convinced that the42nd convention of the A. 0. A.will be known as once of thegreatest milestones in our his-tory of osteopathic progress anddevelopment.

(Continued from Page One)which cut our broadcast off theair for a time, and a little laterruined our p. m. at the ball parkwhere the Giants and Reds wereplaying to a double capacitycrowd. That p. m. will be longremembered.

The program was excellent. Itwas well planned and the talksand other features were worthany inconvenience the crowd mayhave suffered. Our programs aregetting beyond us in many ways.They are certainly too big.

The entertainment was satis-factory. Not spectacular, but thekind that should please the ma-jority, and that is a hard thingto do in this fast-moving age.Too many have diverse ideasabout what they want to do, andprobably the best plan is to turn

them loose except for the regula-tion features which are a set partof every convention. The BallMonday night was a split affair,two ball rooms being provided,and although in the same hotel,a lot of time was wasted goingfrom one to the other trying tofind which place was the cooler.Both bands were fine, and thefloor show very good. Tuescaynight the frats and sororitiesheld sway and the reports we getindicate that all had a fine time.The Atlas Club put on the mostelaborate program, it being the40th anniversary of the foundingof the club. Wednesday night afine banquet was served and RuthBest proved her ability as mis-tress of ceremonies and put on asexcellent a series of acts as wehave seen in many years. Anumber of sightseeing trips topoints of interest and the shop-ping district attracted the atten-tion of most of the visitors whowere wives or friends of the pro-fession.

A new group was formed, be-ing made up of the editors ofour osteopathic publications. Dr.Hulbert will head this group andDr. Duffell will act as secretaryfor the year. Some importantmatters are to be taken up verysoon with this association andthis comes at a time when ex-tremely close cooperation shouldexist between the Central Officeand each of our publications, re-gardless of its size or distribu-tion.

Our booth this year was in abetter location, but still a prettyhot place for our secretary to en-joy greatly. The cooling systemwould have helped a lot. Manyof our alumni stopped and vis-ited and the new Icatalog attract-ed considerable attention.

The Scientific Exhibit, al-though in the Hotel Gibson, at-tracted many and was well ar-ranged and displayed. It pre-sented a beautiful view from themezzanine and was seen by morethan entered through the regularchannel.

The convention was a success.Many things were accomplishedand history was really made. Weare glad it is over and yet thetime goes too fast. But we haveanother year ahead and it is upto all of us to start right nowfor Dallas and another big osteo-pathic meeting.

Dr. Ella Still Dies(Continued from Page 1)

also was present. The followingstudents of the college acted aspallbearers: R. W. Long, WilliamCostello, Robert Lindquist, Jos-eph Gurka, Chase Mathews, JohnHagy, Howard Sporck and PaulKimberly.

Forty years ago at this timeDr. Ella and Dr. S. S. were plan-ning our college. These leadersof ours have passed on but thru-out the years the college hascontinued under their name andwith the same simple but essen-tial basic policy of teachingosteopathy as it was taught tothem by Dr. A. T. Still. Another

date that seems almost a coin-cidence is that Dr. Ella wasburied on the sixty fourth anni-versary to the day of the verybeginning of osteopathy. Dr. A.T. Still states that at 10:30 inthe morning of June 22, 1874 hefinally !saw the great light of anew therapy. Another memberof the Still family has passed onto greater rewards but not be-fore she saw the fruit of herwork in the parade of osteo-pathic physicians that she helpedto educate and carry the truth ofosteopathy to all nations.

The sincere sympathy of theofficials and every alumnus andstudent of the college is ex-tended to those who remain. Weknow they mourn her passingbut death must come to all ofus. May we live so that whenour time comes there will bethose left who may, as thisfamily can, look back with pridein their association with one whoserved well.

Mary E. Golden, D. O.

Men are not the only success-ful members of our profession.Dr. Golden ,head of the depart-ment of Pediatrics, not only isan instructor in the college andconducts a large practice but forthe past two years has beenpresident of the OsteopathicWomen's National Association.Her activities since her gradua-tion from our college prove thatthere is a distinct place in theprofession for women. Not onlyis she busy with the usual affairsof organized osteopathy fromdistrict to national groups butshe finds time to associate her-self with many local clubs. It isnot unusual for her to appearseveral times each month speak-ing before civic or educationalgatherings on the subject ofhealth or like topics.

Dr. Golden's specialty of Ped-iatrics is one that can win manyfriends and develop an extensivepractice for she stresses theosteopathic viewpoint beginningwith the child and her success inthis field can be repeated byanyone who will devote theirtalents and time as Dr. Goldendoes.

OUR FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY CLASSMATRICU LATES SEPTEMBER SIXTH

Prexy ReturnsFollowing the strenuous work

at the convention Dr. Arthur D.Becker our president, took amuch needed rest for a coupleof weeks. Most of the time wasspent in the vicinity of Pontiac,Mich. where his son, Rollin, is inpractice. From the way he lookswe think he must have been outin the open a good deal andprobably fooled a couple of in-nocent fish into thinking he wasgenerous with food. He says heis back to normal now; his ac-cident and the convention neitherone leaving any bad scars, andhe is ready to belt on the armorand get to work. We are allhappy to see him looking andfeeling so well.

So LongTeachers and officials of oste-

opathic colleges are not thruwhen the bell rings the last ofMay. During the month of Juneand most of July the vacationconsists of working only 12hours a day instead of eighteenas is usual during the collegeyear. But in August when theresponsibilities of the conventionare over lets follow some of ourfaculty and see if they take theproverbial "Motorman's Holi-day".

Dr. H. V. Halladay plans totake most of the month of Aug-ust skidding around over theSouthwest. He has a speakingdate with the Kiwanis Club ofAlbuquerque, N. Mex. the 10thof August thru the courtesy ofDr. L. M. Pearsall of that cityand from there will disappearinto the Indian country lookingfor bones and cacti. He hopesto visit the osteopathic hospitalsat Denver and Raton but willavoid any other professional con-tacts if possible.

Dr. O. E. Owen will make anextended trip to California withrelatives, visiting at Salt LakeCity on the way out and makingstops at the Grand Canyon andCarlsbad Cavern on the return.Ed must get into a cave eachSummer or the year is wasted.We hope he will be able tosqueeze into the Big Room atCarlsbad which is almost thesame as the Grand Canyon witha roof over it.

Curricular Activities

Dr. J. P. Schwartz will spend Iowa ice for a southern tourhis available time at his cottage about Christmas time. He willat Lake Okoboji and it is an drive with his family.ideal place to relax and absorb Dr. Mary Golden expects tothe full benefit of the sun and take a couple of weeks off aswater. usual finding new and interest-

Dr. Harry Marshall will save ing scenic spots. Her trip willhis vacation time until later in include a visit with her sisterthe year and will escape from in Washington, D. C.

We're Getting Ready

We took a little walk the otherday, as is our habit now andthen, to check over things andfind out about the Fall work.Letters from students who werehere last year indicate that theyare about ready to return, eventho they have several weeks yetto go before the required regis-tration day. The faculty is get-ting over the strenuous work ofthe annual convention, and thosewho have not left for the Sum-mer vacation trip will be takingtime out during the month ofAugust. Our personnel, facultyand students, will be ready.

We have noticed considerableactivity on the various floorsof the college building from timeto time. The walls are nowcleaned or painted again, andwith a little, work to be done onthe desk-arm chairs the roomswill be ready to ring forth withthe lectures as of old. The lab-oratories also have been givenconsiderable attention, some newequipment being unpacked andeverything checked so that timewill not have to be taken outwaiting for material to arrive orsupplies to be sorted. The placelooks spic and span except thewaiting room and the series ofadjoining treatment rooms.

We don't mean to imply thatthese have been neglected in theSummer clean-up. Not at all.We wish you could have beenhere during the past ten weeks.The same old story that we havebeen printing for years. Toomany patients and too few stu-dents to take care of them. Toomany OB cases and too manyother outside cases. Some of theboys during one especially busyweek had no sleep for two nightsand yet they carried on. More ofyou students must stay here dur-ing the Summer to take care ofthe many who need treatment..Those who could wait and werenot in acute danger have beenasked to wait until the classesreturn. The second floor hasbeen in continuous use. Help!!Help!!

As to the prospect for a bigFall class. Who can tell? Thecorrespondence looks as if wewould all be happy, even withthe one year added preliminary

THE LOG BOOK

N. O. I. C.

The meeting held at the Neth-erland Plaza July 11 closed themost successful year in the lifeof the National Osteopathic In-terfraternity Council. The orderof business was closely followed,and with all organizations exceptone represented. A constitutionwas adopted, and the LambdaOmicron Gamma fraternity wasvoted in. Other minor items ofbusiness were disposed of andofficers were elected. This or-ganization, which has lived onlyfrom year to year, seems to havemade a place for itself so that itwill now become a permanentpart of our fraternity plan.

The work of the office of Exec-utive Chairman has been dividedso that part of the responsibilitywill be taken over by the newlyelected president, Dr. L. J. Grin-nell of Palestine, Texas. The un-dersigned continues for anotheryear in the office of ExecutiveSecretary, and those of you whowill act in the official capacity ofrepresentatives will soon be onthe mailing list and will receiveyour instructions.

Not all have notified us oftheir new officers. The followinghave done so, and as this list iscompleted we will add to it themajor officials for the comingyear.

Many of our organizationshave more officers than we listabove. The ones named are thosewith whom either you or we mayhave occasion to contact. Sevenof our membership have not sentin their new officers. Mail methis list before September first-please.

H. V. Halladay, Exc. Sec.

Our Organizations

Our own college is keenlyaware of the fact that to learnhow to work with the other fel-low you must learn organizationplans and activities while inschool. For this reason the col-lege authorities encourage ourfraternities and sororities thatare accomplishing something. Webelieve that each of those listedbelow is doing their best to putover a program of advancement.It is the business of the collegeto look into the workings of eachof the organizations on the cam-pus and all have been commend-ed for their spirit of cooperationand offers of help when difficultknots are to be untied.

We are proud to list the fol-lowing recognized organizations:

Local Osteopathic Interfrater-nity Council

Atlas ClubWm. Costello-

president.

Delta OmegaVelma Gehman

president.

Iota Tau SigmaA. S. Barnes-

president.

Lambda Omicron GammaAl Yarrows

president.

Phi Sigma GammaJ. Robertson-

president.

Psi Sigma AlphaNeil Kitchen

president.

Sigma Sigma PhiLeo Sanchez-

president.

The Local Council is made upof representatives of each of thefraternities and sororities andregulates the activities of itsmembership. Although the PsiSigma Alpha and Sigma SigmaPhi are honorary fraternities,they take part in the delibera-tions and when applicable sub-mit to rules and regulations withthe same cooperation as the so-cial members.

These chapters of nationalgroups are all in good standingwith the grand chapter of theirnational roganization and eachmade an excellent record duringthe past year's work. At thepresent writing the fraternitiesand sorority are dormant, butwatch this list of workers aboutthe first of September. They willbe back early and stay late wait-ing for the new classmen, in or-der to do everything to make thenew students feel at home. Therushing season does not beginuntil later. These boys and girlsknow how they felt when theycame into a strange communityand they are ready to help you,as a new student, find a roomand get located without confu-fusion.

You can't join all of them, butwe recommend that you join theone you like best.

0. E. Owen.

The subjects of Pathology andthe Basic Sciences need a teacherwell grounded in all sciences yetwith a full appreciation of theosteopathic application. Dr.Owen fills this requirement forhis pre-osteopathic college anduniversity training and teachingof science gave him a back-ground essential in the success-ful interpretation of these sub-jects. To be able to actually seethe story told by a miscroscopeis only half of the duty of aninstructor. He must also be ableto separate these findings intounits that may be understood bythe novice so that the field isnot a confusion of stains but aninteresting story of the minutefindings that mark the beginningof disease within the body.

Dr. Owen takes pardonablepride not only in the excellenceof his class and laboratorycourses but also in the accumu-lation of a fine museum of Path-ology which is of great value indemonstrating the gross changesthat are found in diseased tis-sues. The endocrin system andheriditary tendencies have alsoattracted his attention and he iscalled upon frequently to explainthese little known influences onthe growth, development and re-pair of the body. To associatethe osteopathic lesion with theseconditions takes the mind of atrue scientist and we can dependon the interpretations offered byDr. Owen.

Byron L. Cash. D. 0.

ine operation or an X-iay ma-chine and the interpretation ofX-Ray findings is not a job fora novice. In Dr. Cash we havea man of vasrt experience over a

period of years, and covering notonly the usual type of X-Radi-ence in the hospital, but also inArmy laboratory routine. Hav-ing taken special courses in (Chi-cago and at the University ofMichigan, Dr. Cash is qualifiedto judge and grade the work ofothers and is familiar with thenewest equipment in X-Radienceand Physio-Therapy.

His laboratory at the hospitalis available to the student bodyfor teaching purposes and his ad-vice and laboratory readings arein demand throughout the state.Dr. Cash has appeared on nu-merous ,convention programs andtakes an active interest in theprofessional groups of the state.His lectures at the college aresupplemented by many films tak-en from his extensive library toshow the multitude of conditionsthat may be demonstrated by theX-Ray picture.

J. L. Schwartz, D. O.

The subject or Proctology isone that needs close attention todetail. The many cases in prac-tice and the several types oftreatment used make it a subjectthat is constantly changing. Asa specialty, Proctology is com-paratively new, and the educationof a student in the finer pointsof diagnosis and the applicationof the proper type of treatmentshould be in the hands of an ex-perienced physician. Dr. Schwartzis an experienced physician, hav-ing been a member of the staffof the Des Moines General Hos-pital for nearly twenty years.During that time he has attend-ed several special courses in hisspecialty and with the great num-ber of cases that come under hisobservation he is well able toplan a series of lectures and dem-onstrations on the subject.

Henry E. Sampson,A. B., B. Ph., Ju. D.

Mr. Sampson, a true friend ofOsteopathy and a recognized le-gal authority in all malpracticedefense matters, makes an idealinstructor in the subject of Medi-cal Jurisprudence. He is keenlyinterested in the profession andits practitioners. Although hecarries on an extensive law prac-tice in Des Moines, he alwaysfinds time to meet osteopathicgroups for an evening of studyand the consideration of speciallegal problems affecting the pro-fession.

Vacations

In this busy world of modernliving we have pushed ourselvesinto a degree of activity whichis fundamentally based uponspeed and then more speed.There is no criticism intendedfor such a situation. It is thenew tempo. Conditions change,and it is necessary to changewith them or we find ourselvesout of step and left behind.

The more leisurely gait of yes-terday was well suited to theneeds of yesterday. Radicaldifferences have developed.Transportation has changed fromthe horse drawn stage coach tothe modern motor ,car and theairplane. News is sent aroundthe world in a few seconds byradio as compared with formermethods of dissemenination bythe pony express and sailingships. Mass production by in-tricate machines has replacedmuch of handwrought methods.

In this connection, it is wellfor the reader to remember theinteresting and important factthat while the pace has 'changedand the speed of life and livinghas been immeasureably steppedup, the human body has changedvery little, if any. High speedscost more in wear and tear, innervous energy and demand morein physical resources. It is im-perative that plans be contrivedto enable us to properly and ef-fectively adapt ourselves to thisbig problem of living which soconstantly and so immediatelyconfronts every individual; thedoctor as well as those includedin his clientele.

The title at the beginning ofthi, brief discussion is a sug-gestion of at least one good wayby which we may expect to solvethe problem. To get entirelyaway from one's work for even afew days, with entire change ofscenes, faces and environment isa wholesome restorative. To getaway even for an hour or twooccasionally through the weekhas real possibilities of value es-pecially when combined with notover strenuous exercise and in-terest compelling play. To se-cure daily at least a few minutesof actual solitude and quiet whenwe can completely relax and canstill ourselves within as well aswithout is to find new sourcesof power and poise.

Take thought of the reserves,physical, mental and spiritual ifyou would get the most out oflife and living.

ing the Editors' Luncheon Sun-day, July 10, at Cincinnati. Itwas at the call of the A. O. A.and under the direction of Dr.Ray Hulburt and proved of suchimportance that its business hadto be continued at two break-fasts following, on Monday andTuesday. As a representative ofthe Log Book it was a pleasureto sit at this table and to hearabout some of the mistakes weare making in our publications.The Log Book was not listedamong those in error, for it isnot made up in the usual formof a journal or bulletin normakes any effort to influence theprofession in the matter of itspolicies.

The Log Blook does not carryadvertising. It is therefore notobligated to any firm nor topleasing any group in order tokeep a certain amount of reve-nue coming in. The college paysfor its publication and mails itto you gratis.

The Log Book rarely carriesany technical article. If it doesit is written by a member of thefaculty and not in competitionwith any of the publications thatmake this their major feature.

The Log Book is our news let-ter to you each month tellingyou what is going on at the col-lege and when space is available,items about our alumni.

The Log Book is very happyto print each month the officialnews and bulletins of the Iowa

ouclety or usteopathic fPhysi-cians and Surgeons. This partof the Log Book is sent to usfrom the president and secretaryof the state association, and thenames signed are responsible forthe accuracy of the statements.

The Log Book then occupies aunique place among our publica-tions. It is sent to all of you whowant it. We do not discriminate,for regardless of where you grad-uated we want you to know thatthis college is alive and doingthings. We do not want to takeup but a few minutes of yourtime. This is our way of say-ing "Good Morning" to you oncea month.

We could publish a Log Bookseveral times the size of the pres-ent one and filled with advertise-ments and so-called technical ar-ticles. We think that the profes-sion has enough of these. Inquestioning many of you who re-ceive the Log Book, we havebeen told that you read everyword of it. Thi:s is not true ofany other osteopathic publicationthat we know of.

Dr. Becker and I will continueto try to eliminate the typo-graphical errors and will watchfor statements that might be mis-construed, but we have no inten-tion of entering a field that iswell covered by the A.O.A., stateassociations, and other collegeand private publications. Wehope you will continue to read"every word of the Log Book."

The recent enactment of the"Drew Bill" does not make it anactive law until passed upon orput into action by a Commissionat Washington. For that rea-son we consider it inadvisablefor our members to enter intodiscussion about it at this timewith federal employees who hap-pen to be our patients or withfriends who have charge of fed-eral employees.

We all appreciate the import-ance of this piece of legislationand are confident that the iCom-mission will give it the properinterpretation. However, it isdeemed best for us to give it aslittle publicity as possible untilthe different state and countyunits are advised of this new lawby the Commission at Washing-ton.

These different units will thenbe ordered to post notices ofsame for the enlightenment ofall federal employees concerningtheir privileges in regard to theirselection of the physician or hos-pital in case of sickness or ac-cident. Until this is done pleasebe advised that no service letterwill be contemplated by ourState society.

Changes and New StandingCommittees

The growing demand forgreater and better State organi-zation activities made it neces-sary to change titles of somestanding committees and thecreation of several new ones.

In order for our State, Societyto participate in the services ofthe Public and Professional Wel-fare Committee of the NationalOrganization it was necessary tocreate two new sub-committees.One on Radio is headed by Dr.Thomas Lange, of Cedar Rapids,the other known as EditorialContact is combined with thecommittee on Public Educationand will be under the chairman-ship of Dr. Biddison of Nevada."More power to Dr. Biddison".

A new committee on Maternaland Child Welfare was createdfor the purpose of compiling sta-tistics of our activities along thisline and to secure informationfrom Federal and State sourcesfor our members. This commit-tee will also cooperate with Fed-eral and State Commission. Dr.E. F. Leininger of Des Moineswas appointed chairman of thisstanding committee.

The committee on Child Con-ference is a substitute createdfor the purpose of planning waysand means for establishing cityor district clinical conferences.Dr. Lydia Jordon, of Davenportwas appointed chairman of thiscommittee. The activities of thisc®mmittee have already stirredconsiderable interest.

Vocational Guidance is thenew title which replaces StudentRecruiting. This committee isunder the chairmanship of Dr.M. G. Tincher of Fort Madison.

C. Ira Gordon,B. A., D. O.

The department of Pathologyis an important one to any schoolof therapy. Dr. Gordon assumesthe major part of the didacticteaching of this subject and close-ly correlates his lecture workwith the laboratory course. Hewas an experienced teacher inhigh school sciences before en-tering the college to secure hisdegree in osteopathy, and hascontinued his study of the sci-ences, applying their facts andprinciples to the science of os-teopathy.

In addition to his lecturecourses at the college, Dr. Gor-don maintains an office in thecity and takes part in the localand state association activities.He has held important offices inboth local and state associations,and is frequently called upon toaddress lay groups.

Howard A. Granev, D. O.

When a surgeon selects an as-sistant it is done with the ut-most care and consideration. Dr.Graney is first assistant to Dr.J. P. Schwartz of the Des MoinesGeneral Hospital, and as suchhas a responsibility that requirescomplete understanding and atrained and steady hand. Twoyears as an intern and threeyears as an assistant has broughtDr. Graney up in surgical work,and his lectures and demonstra-tions are praised highly by thestudent body. Dr. Graney hasproved an able assistant in thedepartment of surgery.

MRS. K. M. ROBINSON-is making a trip to Du-

luth and points north, her ob-jective being beyond Winnepegin Canada.

Paul L. Park, D. O.Dr. Park graduated from the

Des Moines Still College of Os-teopathy in 1927. He immedi-ately opened offices in Des Moinesand has been conducting a suc-cessful general practice since.His interest in association workhas resulted in his election tomany offices in the several divi-sions of the state association. Hehas also appeared several timeson the program of the associationand as a delegate from the state.

Dr. Park's experience in thefield of general practice has giv-en him an insight into the appli-cation of osteopathic care andtreatment of a great variety ofcases. This personal contact addsthe necessary concept to the pre-sentation of his subject of Osteo-pathic Therapeutics.

Hisactivities aside from his lecturework at the college have beenhis general practice and as anexecutive in the local and stateosteopathic groups. He is in de-mand as a speaker and meetswith many of the profession eachyear. He is a member of theclinical staff of the college andmajors in osteopathic therapeu-tics.

Edw. F. Leininger, D. O.

F olowing nis grauuaiuon iromthe college in 1935, Dr. Leinin-ger served an extended intern-

ship at the Des Moines GeneralHospital. His studies and inter-est in the diagnosis and treat-ment of gynecological cases at-tracted the attention of the trus-tees and he was secured for theteaching staff of the 'college.

Dr. Leininger superintends inthe department of Obstetrics andis available at all times for ad-vice to the students in the careof patients in this department.He is a member of the state andnational associations and is fre-quently called upon to discussthe subjects of his specialty.

Student AssistantsIt is not the policy of the col-

lege to employ student or under-graduate assistants unless specialtalent is shown in some depart-ment. These men, who willgraduate shortly, have not onlyproved themselves exceptionalstudents in the department inwhich they assist, but they havealso maintained standards thru-out the course in all subjectsabove the average. Our collegeis constantly alert to the needof additional teaching talent andis able to point with pride tothese young instructors growingup with a stable osteopathicbackground and authoritative os-teopathic precedents to follow.

A. S. BARNESMr. Barnes came to the Des

Moines Still College of Osteop-athy well prepared in the sci-ences. Having received his de-gree at Simpson College, hetaught science for two years.He has been assisting in the de-partment of Bacteriology sincehis registration and has doneexceptionally fine work.

PAUL E. KIMBERLYBeing one of the second gen-

eration of the many who studyosteopathy, Mr. Kimberly en-tered the college with very defi-nite ideas about his osteopathiceducation. Early in his work hedemonstrated his interest in thedepartment of Anatomy, andsince his second year has beenassisting.

NEIL R. KITCHENFollowing his graduation from

the Pharmacy College of WayneUniversity, Mr. Kitchen filled aposition with one of the largerdrug firms in Detroit. His in-vestigative mind proved to hisown satisfaction that Osteopathyoffered much more as a systemof therapy and he came to DesMoines to study. Since his sec-ond year he has been assistingin the department of Bio-Chem-istry.

We as membersof the board of trustees of thecollege could look forward to theclass of May, 1942 which wouldenter this month and know thatit would be less in 'size than theone entering a year ago.

We sometimes haveour doubts about the advisabilityof cutting our numbers and, thowe can "point with pride" weshould perhaps also "view withalarm," this change. With halfthe number entering this year ascompared with the past we knowthis class must be augmented bysome means if we are to carryon the extensive clinical servicenow given and increasing at thecollege. When this class as-sumes the duties of Seniors theywill be too few in numbers totake care of even one of the sev-eral clinical departments.

Osteopathic Therapeutics

It has been suggested to meby numbers of my friends thatI attempt the preparation of aseries of brief articles dealingwith the subject of osteopathictherapeutics. By the term "os-teopathic therapeutics" I wish torefer to those measures used inthe treatment of disease whichare peculiar to osteopathy.

I think it may be well to dif-ferentiate here in a few wordsbetween osteopathy as a scienceand osteopathy as a school ofpractice. Osteopathy, as a schoolof practice, has incorporatedmany things which were not dis-covered by Dr. Still, nor de-veloped by the osteopathic pro-fession. These measures havebeen incorporated into the os-teopathic school of practice be-cause they were found usefuland desirable. They were incor-porated because they enlargedthe field of useful practice andbecause they were considered tobe not inconsistent with the os-teopathic school of thought.Thus surgery, various modalitiesof physio-therapy, diet, hygiene,public health and sanitation, theuse of various medications, nar-ootics, anesthetics, antisepticsand biologics, have all been in-corporated into the osteopathicschool of practice.

Osteopathy as a science refersto those distinctive contributionsin the field of diagnosis andtreatment of disease discoveredand developed by Dr. Andrew T.Still. Taking these fundamentaland original concepts of Dr. Stillas a basis, the osteopathic pro-fession has further developedand elaborated these originaldiscoveries. It is upon these out-standing and distinctive contri-butions of Dr. Still and his fol-lowers that the osteopathicschool of practice is dependentfor its identity. The osteopath-ic school of practice is separateand distinct, and has as excusefor its existence the fact that itplaces chief emphasis upon os-teopathy as a science applied intherapeutics. The osteopathicschool of practice today is theoutgrowth of the discoveriesand teachings of Dr. Andrew T'.Still. His discoveries were ar-resting and revolutionary; histhinking was logical and pro-found; his conclusions were dis-tinctive and challenging.

The growth of the osteo-pathic school of practice hasbeen deliberate, steady and con-tinuous. There has been a no-ticeable absence of fanfare, or of

commercial exploitation. It hasimproved from within. It hasrepeatedly extended its curricu-lum. It has continuously raisedits scholastic standards. It hasincreased its prerequisites forentrance.

In this series of thumb nailsketches I propose to discuss forthe most part the contributionsthe science of osteopathy hasmade to therapeutics. It seemsto me that there is one funda-mental, distinctive difference be-tween the therapeutics of oste-opathy as a science and mostother therapeutic measures.Most measures have, as the re-sult of treatment, the objectiveof combating symptoms. Oste-opathic principles as applied inpractice have as their basic pur-pose the removal of the cause ofdisease and disease processes. Ifthe foregoing statement is true,and I believe it is largely true,it would seem that the differenceis fundamentally very great.

It becomes a matter of in-creasing interest to take cogni-zance of the wide scope of pos-sible application in practice ofthe basic osteopathic principles.I shall attempt from time totime to present osteopathicmeasures of value in diagnosisand treatment in various condi-tion,s of disease commonly metin practice. A. D. B., D.O.

Transfers

Approximately twenty stu-dents have come to us this yearwith advanced standing havingtransferred from other collegesof osteopathy and medicalschools. We take this as a dis-tinct compliment to our institu-tion. In the past we have hadeach semester, a few added toour student body but this yearthe number has increased to thepoint where it has attractedmore than a passing remark.Many of these transfers are en-tering with the lower classes. Inthe past the advantages of theclinic at our.college has inter-ested the maioritv but these

Faculty Changes

One of the several responsi-bilities of the trustees of thecollege is to maintain a facultyin keeping with the high stand-ards of teaching required by allconcerned with the progress ofosteopathy. The few changes inthe faculty this year are calledto your attention for the reasonthat we take pride in the effici-ency and ability of our facultygroup that can carry on yearafter year with so few changesin personnel.

DR. JOHN M. WOODSDr. Woods, after taking an

enforced leave of absence due toillness is back with us. Thisyear he is devoting his entiretime to the college and will fol-low his regular teaching sched-ule in the mornings with clini-cal examinations, consultationsand conferences in the after-noon. He needs no introductionto the profession for he has ap-peared on many national andstate programs and has been amember of our faculty for thepast sixteen years. We are allglad to welcome Dr. Woods andsincerely hope his returned goodhealth is permanent.

At his own request Dr. Rob-ert Bachman is taking a year'sleave of absence from duties atthe college in the teaching ca-pacity. Dr. Bachman will re-main a member of the board oftrustees but feels that he needsa rest from the strenuous lecturework he has so faithfully carriedon for nearly twenty years. Wehope at the end of the year thathe will, by degrees, get backwith us as a member of theteaching staff.

DR. GLENN E. FISHERDr. Fisher, who has been a

member of the faculty for thepast five years, decided to gointo practice in Oklahoma. Histeaching and work with the lab-oratory diagnosis division of theclinic has been an important linkin our strong educational chain.For the past four years he hasbeen a member of the board oftrustees of the college and hasbeen of great help in solving themany problems that have beenbefore this managing group. Dr.Fisher leaves the college withthe good wishes of the entirestudent body and faculty and wehope he will find time to returnto Iowa and visit us. He willalways be welcome.

J. B. SHUMAKER,A. B., M. S., Ph. G.

To find a successor to Dr.Fisher in the department ofChemistry was not so much find-ing one but eliminating all butone. The board had knowledgeof Professor Shumakers talentand experience teaching Chemis-try in the past for he was amember of the faculty for twoyears beginning in the Fall of1929. The years have nec-essitated many additions and ex-pansions of our knowledge ofChemistry and we feel very for-tunate in having ProfessorShumaker back with us in thisdepartment. His detailed know-ledge of the subject has estab-lished his high standing in edu-cational circles. He is a graduateof Cornell and Iowa Universityand has had extensive teachingexperience in several colleges in-cluding the Des Moines Collegeof Pharmacy.

DRS. BAUER & SAMBLANETof Canton, Ohio have re-

cently purchased a building inCanton, transformed it intomodern offices and renamed itthe Osteopathic PhysiciansBuilding. This gives these pro-gressive doctors more and bet-ter space and is of more conven-ience to their patients since theyare out of the highly congestedbusiness district. We hope fortheir continued success.

DR. WILLIAMINA CUMMINGSof El Dorado, Kans., died

recently after 33 years practicein El Dorado. Newspaper clip-pings indicate the high esteemin which she was held in church,lodge and in other civic work.Following her graduation fromour college in 1905 she startedin practice in El Dorado as soonas she secured her office loca-tion.

enough to keep us on the look-out for twins and wish for oneof the rarer cases of multiplebirths. One of our Senior girlscame into the office last weekwith a fine month-old baby oneach arm, a pair that she haddelivered the latter part of thevacation.

A Case Report.We had our recorder of sta-

tistics reach at random into therecords and give us the story ofone of these cases. It shows thecare given the patient all thruthe pregnancy, the detail of ourrecords and the thot and timenecessary to carry one' patientthru. This shows you that ourstudents have actual contactwith the patient from the regis-tration in the clinic until thecase is discharged. The, factthat these mothers come back tothe clinic for care in additionalpregnancies and bring friends issufficient proof of the efficiencyof our teaching.

Mrs. P. W. Age 18, primipara.Routine examination showed anexceptionally good physical con-dition. Her last period was giv-en at about 8 months previousto the date of examination andconsidering the size and shape!of the abdomen and palpable'parts the date of delivery wasset at about one month follow-ing. Consideration was given to;the fact that in a young motherthe first period of pregnancy isvariable and may be terminateda couple of weeks previous orfollowing an estimated date andstill be considered normal. Alllaboratory findings were nega-tive. The external pelvic meas-urements were normal. She wasseen twice a week and register-ed no complaint at any time.Her due time came, and passedwith no evidence of labor start-ing and we naturally thot thatan error had been made on thedate of her last period. Fourweeks after the estimated date,pains started. They were in-tense and regular and at twominute intervals and about oneminute in duration. After sev-eral hours of this type of laboran examination revealed atough unyielding cervix with ap-proximately 2 cm. dilation. Thepatient was allowed to labor an-other eight hours in which timeshe had gained another cm. dila-tion. She was becoming ex-hausted and was given 1/4 Mor-phine with 1/150 Atropine hypo-dermic and allowed to rest forsix hours. Following the restperiod she went into labor againfor about eight hours which wasfollowed by another period ofrest the dilation increasing to5cm. The position of the in-fant was determined as L.O.P.and the patient was allowed twoperiods of rest and labor. Dilartion being nearly complete shewas prepared for delivery and

the dilation increased manually.The membranes were then rup-tured and an attempt made toapply the forceps. This failedas the head :was extremely largeand had undergone so muchmoulding that it was impossibleto rotate. An internal versionwas done with difficulty due tothe size of the child.

The contractile ring of Ban-dal made it almost impossible toturn the child but after this hadbeen accomplished and realizingthe size of the infant a deeplateral episiotomy was perform-ed which afterward proved in-adequate. An eleven pound babywas delivered resulting in a tearthru the sphinchtor ani and intothe canal. Repair was made andthe mother and infant followedthru in the usual "uneventfulrecovery" manner. This patienthas been seen once a monthsince the delivery and is in ex-cellent condition.

Watchful waiting in this caseundoubtedly saved both themother and the infant. Manyof these cases are hurried toomuch or the case is rushed tothe hospital for a Caesarian. Aneleven pound infant is a big jobany time but may be serious foran eighteen year old primipara.

Polk County

The Polk County OsteopathicAssociation met for the firstdinner meeting of the year atthe Hotel Chamberlain on Fri-day evening, September 9th. At-tendance was unusually good forthe first meeting, with almost30 Des Moines physicians pres-ent.

Miss! Ethel Vest who is chair-man of the Iowa Division of theFederal Compensation Commis-sion was the speaker of the eve-ning. Her subject was, "PayingFederal Compensation." She ex-plained in a simple and straightforward manner the way inwhich Osteopathic Physicians areprivileged to take part in thetreatment of federal employeessince the enactment of the "DrewBill" in the last session of Con-gress. The names of OsteopathicPhysicians .are being placed inalphabetical order with those ofthe Medical Physicians and willbe called on cases in rotation ineach county of the state. Withinthe next few weeks each phy-sician will receive complete,written instructions for the fill-ing in of the necessary papersin regard to each case and themethod of procedure. Miss Vestexpressed her desire to cooperatewith all physicians and askedthat all would feel perfectly freeto call upon her services whenever necessary.

The next meeting will be onthe second Friday night in Oc-tober. A series of very interest-ing programs have been plannedfor the year. It is the desire of'the Executive Committee thateach Osteopathic Physician inDes Moines and Polk Countyjoin with us in the year's activi-ties.

We have just received a mostinteresting letter from Dr. AnnaM. Smock who for the time be-ing is located in AlexandriaEgypt. Dr. Smock started around-the-world trip about twcyears ago and likes it so well inEgypt that she has spent thepast year there. We do not haveher permission to quote from herletter but so much of it is ofinterest to the profession thatwe will run the risk of suit.

"Have been in Egypt for ayear and like it very much. Havea nice little 'practice and am as-sured that there will be no ob-jections to my remaining if Iwish to. It is impossible to geta permit to practice as the artof Osteopathy is unheard of andof course being a lady I am moreor less let alone. I am called abonesetter and let it go at that.My patients are from twenty-seven' nationalities and so mysecretary has to speak severallanguages. With the little Frenchand Spanish I know I can getalong with many of them with-out an interpreter .

"Have demonstrated Osteo-pathy in many hospitals andlectured before medical associa-tions. Some are willing to acceptit and some are very much en-thused. Others cannot believeit is good for anything exceptbony lesions. Have demonstrat-ed in three of the largest hospi-tals in Greece and have been in-vited to return and get a permitfrom the government to open aschool there but the country isextremely poor and I have de-clined the offer. Have had manyinteresting experiences and ammore convinced than ever of thevirtues of good old ten fingeredosteopathy. Of course it is ex-tremely difficult to introduceanything new in these old coun-tries. Many times a patient willcall and say 'I am sorry I can-not have a treatment today. Ihave a headache-or I am notwell-or I have ,a crisis.' Theycall nearly everything either acrisis or a chill on the stomach.

"Last Winter I had 3 pneu-monia cases one of which waspronounced dead by her medicalphysician. After many hours ofgood hard osteopathy and a packI performed the miracle of sav-ing the dead. If at any timeyour students are skeptical abouttheir chosen profession reassurethem that it is a science that willtake them safely to the four cor-ners of the world and never failthem if properly applied.

who has practiced on the Westcoast for quite a few years drop-ped in the other day to visit fora few minutes. This doctor de-plored the fact that the spectacu-lar days of osteopathy seemed tobe over; that we were not curingthe incurables and that we havegotten into a position where wewere no longer the major topicof dinner arguments, pro andcon. That may be true in someplaces but it is not true at StillCollege. The rare day occasion-ally comes along when nothingexciting happen.s in a therapeuticway but with the quantity andvariety of patients coming to thecollege for treatment and themany cases taken care of out-side, the matter of curing theincurable is so common that itis not as exciting as it might bemade. However, when a studentstarts in the clinic and cures anincurable his or her first case ofthis kind is discussed. We askedDr. Facto, head of the Clinic toselect a recent case to prove ourpoint. He cited several duringthe Summer months and lateSpring. The one reported belowis perhaps not the most spectacu-lar but it is extremely interestingfrom several viewpoints. Thiscase history is a part of ourpermanent files. The student whotreated this case is still in col-lege but will graduate in May'39 and Dr. Facto can be foundat the college building almostany time during the day.

THE LOG BOOK

ATLAi @WThe month of September was

quite an active one for the AtlasClub. The final touches wereput on the house and a largenumber of activities were pro-moted.

The smoker for the new menwas held Friday, Sept. 16 withDr. Parks as speaker. Everyoneseemed to have a pretty goodtime. The committee in chargeof the affair is to be congratu-lated.

On Monday, Sept. 19, Dr. JohnWoods, of our faculty, spoke atour first Practical Work meetingon "The Problems of a DoctorEntering Practice." A largeturn out was on hand to enjoythe talk.

Our first open house was heldSept. 17 and our annual BarnDance, Oct. 1. Both affairs werea tremendous success. The BarnDance was held in the Sanctuaryand. was a costume affair. TheSanctuary was decorated withcorn stalks and other rustic set-tings. We never knew therewere so many old clothes aroundthe place till this party came off.The dance closed at a late hourwith comparatively few casual-ties.

We are happy to announce thatthe following men have pledgedAtlas Club during the past twoweeks: Robert White of Lan-cester, Ohio; Lyle Ackerson ofStillwater, Minn.; Paul Taylor ofDetroit, Mich.; Robert Hansonof Austin, Minn.; Herman Geg-ner of Comfrey, Minn.; LionelGatien of Detroit, Mich.; PaulRutter of Cleveland, Ohio. Theannual pledge dance will be heldSaturday evening, Oct. 15 inhonor of the new pledges.

Friends of Brother P. N. Mun-roe will be glad to learn that hehas almost completely recoveredfrom his recent siege of Bron-chial Pneumonia. Brother Mun-roe was confined in the DesMoines General Hospital forsome time but is now convales-ing at his residence.

Among those who visited thehouse during the past monthwere Doctors Harry StimsonW. C. Andreen of Detroit andDr. Henry Ketman of Omaha.

The coming weeks hold muchin store for the fellows. Sixweeks exams are just around thecorner and don't forget theteachers convention.

The Iota Tau Sigma held itsannual smoker at the Des MoinesClub this year. The new studentswere introduced to the membersand pledges of the Iota Tau Sig-

ma, and most of the eveningcards and Chinese checkers wereplayed. Dr. Becker, Dr. Halla-day, and Dr. Cash were the.speakers of the evening.

The Iota Tau Sigma is proudto announce at this time its newpledges. Bill Ferguson, TomGeraghty, Harlan Hofer, MiltonMauthe, Chris Henkle and PhilReames.

This year two members of theIota Tau Sigma were elected todifferent offices. Howard Sporckbeing elected president of theSenior class and Scott Fisherpresident of the Junior class. Weare quite proud of this fact.

Our fraternity was fortunatein getting a fine group ofpledges. They have been ap-proved by the critical eye of thefraternity, and are indeed idealfraternity material. They are:iC. Hall, J. N. Fox, "Spec" Jemi-son, R. Woods, and H. Wirt.

The fall dance, which is anannual affair, will be held at thefraternity house, Oct. 29. Finalplans and arrangements are nowbeing made, an eventful eveningis expected.

Since N. Woodruff has comeback to town with his newstreamlined model we have hada great deal of trouble keepingtrack of him.

At the last fraternity meetingthe Interfraternity Council planswere discussed and were metwith a great deal of approval.The fraternity wants it to beknown that they will give whole-hearted support to the council.

The Psi Sigma Alpha, NationalHonorary Fraternity, held theirinitial meeting of the school yearat the Phi Sigma Gamma House,Tuesday evening, September27th.

Fraternity business was con-ducted and plans for the Frater-nity Activities during the comingyear were made.

Pledging will take place dur-ing October.

Dinner meetings are beingplanned and will be held regu-larly throughout the school year.The first dinner meeting of theensuing year will be held atBoyce's Uptown October 11th.Dr. 0. Edwin Owen, president ofthe National Grand (Council ofPsi Sigma Alpha, will be thespeaker at the meeting.

The following named officerswere elected last spring to servefor the present school year:President ------- Neil R. KitchenVice President --- Paul KimberlySecretary -------- Gerald HooperTreasurer ------ Elmer Hanson

Committees appointed:Membership: Paul Kimberly,

Glenn A. Walker, KennethBlanding. Program: Robert Mc-Kay, Alfred Ferris, ArthurBorchardt. Social: Harry Wing,Kenneth Dirlam, Joe Robertson.Sick committee: Joe Gurka,Goeffrey Laurance, Ernest Light.Criticism: Elmer Hanson, EldonBlackwood, Lowell Augenstein.Reporter: Glenn A. Walker.

Corresponding secretary: JoeRobertson.

The activity of Sigma SigmaPhi, which started with suchpromise, was dealt a severe blowwhen 'our able president, LeoSanchez, was stricken with anillness that may keep him fromfraternity activity for same time.

Regular meetings have beenheld and plans are being car-ried out but a little of the old"zip" is lacking. It is hard torealize the loss of a leader, andthe necessity of a changing andreorganization of administrativeofficers. This process is rapidlytaking place and we hope to bewell on the way in a few weeks.Each and every member extendshis deepest sympathy to BrotherSanchez.

We have hopes of the returnof some of the beautiful Indiansummer weather for at leasttime to allow for the stag thefraternity has planned. There isnothing better for the tired,busy student than a romp in thewoods at this most beautifulAutumnal season of the year.Walnut Woods, or Sycamore--here we come.

AThe first business meeting of

the year was held September27th at school. Much enthusi-asm was manifested as our newpresident, Rebecca Richardsondiscussed plans for the comingyear. The sorority plans to co-operate with the college in se-curing new students. The schoolrecords are to be checked forprospective women students andthrough correspondence place be-fore them the advantages of en-rollment at Still College.

Dr. Mary Golden on Septem-ber 17th entertained the womenstudents at dinner at her homeand the evening was spent play-ing games. We all look forwardwith pleasure to an evening withDr. Golden, for as well as a goodtime we feel she gives us some ofher own inspiration and enthusi-asm for osteopathy.

as there was no marked progressof the symptoms. The liver wasnormal and no evidence wasfound of gall bladder disease.

After the removal of the abovepossibilities it was decided thatbecause of the marked resistanceof the passage of food and- theregurgitation soon after eatingthat we were probably dealingwith a cardio-,spasm and thediagnosis was made as such.

After the first examination anX-Ray and flouroscopic examina-tion was made which showed amarked constriction of the car-diac end of the stomach.

Osteopathic treatments weregiven three times a week. Afterthe first treatment the patientreceived relief in that theamount of mucous and food reg-urgitated had diminished. Whenthe patient came in for his fourthtreatment he was able to raisehis left arm above the shoulderand could use this arm andshoulder as well as he had everused his uninjured right arm.He remarked that it was a shameto have taken the money fromthe railroad. Two weeks afterhe had started treatment he hada slight upset. This he attribut-ed to overeating. Two weekslater or one month after he hadstarted osteopathic treatmenthe was able to lie down andsleep soundly in a bed for thefirst time in more than a year.His weight at this time was 125pounds, a gain of five poundsin a month. The treatments werethen reduced to two a week.

Two and one-half months aft-er osteopathic treatment hadbeen instituted the patient show-ed a loss of weight it havingbeen reduced to 118 pounds buthe laid this loss of weight tothe fact that he was worryingover some competitive examina-tions he was to take for a newposition. There, was no evidenceof any return of the regurgita-tion during this period and aftertaking and passing the examina-tions he again gained weight.Four months after his firsttreatment he called and said hefelt good and could see no rea-son for further treatment.

This case was examined byDr. L. L. Facto and treated byChase Mathews of the Seniorclass.

This is only one of many thatcome to us and leave cured. Wedo not dare to advertise ourclinic in the Des Moines papersfor we would be swamped. Wedo not have the numbers in ourclasses to take care of all thatcome to us now, all interestingcases.

But-the thing that we start-ed out to try to prove was thatthe day of miracles is not past.This man came as a last resortwithout much in the way of faithfor he had been treated by thecompany's doctor, an M. D. andhad had mechanical treatment atthe hands of a chiropractor. Heleft our osteopathic clinic a verydifferent man mentally and phy-sically. We are trying to tell you

that Osteopathy is not the for-gotten therapy in Des Moines.We, get too many patients in theclinic who have had everythingelse that they could get fromevery other type of therapeuticplan. They come to us for osteo-pathy and they get it and itcures many of them.

Forty years ago this collegewas founded to teach Osteopathy.We are still following the pre-cepts of the founder of ourscience and the founders of ourcollege. Students here! in DesMoines not only hear aboutosteopathy but they have theopportunity to see its efficiencyproved every day. We do notneed more patients in order toprove this but ..

The Vacation

This annual resume of onekind of a vacation is almost asimportant as any technical arti-cle we could offer. Dr. Beckerhinted recently at something ofthe kind when he stated thattime should be taken off eachyear for complete rest from thejob itself. This kind of a vaca-

Ition does not appeal to many forthe majority favor going to oneplace and staying there until thetime comes for the return. Wedo know that this continualmoving about gives the vacation-ist new vistas and new contactsboth of which are a stimulus.This vacation was planned to seemore of the S.

August 15-Birthday of thedaughter. Another surprise. Thetemperature on arising was 28.Altitude about 8500 feet andfound the dew frozen. This isanother Summer cool spot thatanyone can have if they want it.Enjoyed the day and the dinnerand party at night. Genuinemountain music by a guitar andfiddle furnished the tempo for adance and the folks came formiles around. Words fail in try-ing to describe these occasionsthat are real fun and relaxationwith some real folks. Until yousee them in the flesh you thinkof them as fictional.

Heeding a callto dinner they were present atthe proper time in spite of rain.The serving of nearly twentymembers of the faculty wassolved by tables scattered thruthe dining room, living room andstudy, the service being underthe supervision of Mrs. Becker.Empty plates testified as to theenjoyment of the meal.

Following the dinner Dr.Becker called the assembledmembers together for reportsand other items of business. Theactivities of the Alumni in sev-eral state were reported and metwith enthusiasm.

AYTLA&S ( C1LXiphoid of Atlas has had an-

other busy month. Such felstivi-ties as the Pledge Dance and theHay Ride have kept the mem-bers and the pledges quite ac-tive.

The Annual Pledge Dance washeld Saturday evening, October22 at the house. We were hap-py to have members of the fac-ulty and representatives fromthe fraternities and sorority a'sour guests. Dick McGills or-chestra furnished the music.

Another feature of Octoberwas an old fashioned Hay Ride.This affair took place Saturdaynight, October 29. A hay rackand a team of horses furnishedthe transportation. From the re-ports given after the party, itwas one of the most successfulever held. Quite a few of themen got limbered up doing roadwork trying to catch the wagon.The critical and competent chap-erone was none other than ourown George Bunge. It has beensaid that the wagon and B'ungenever stopped.

The highlight of our practicalwork was a talk by Miss AvaJohnson, the daughter of the for-mer president of the college anda former member of the faculty'Miss Johnson, who has just re-turned from an extended stay inEurope, discussed professionalproblems and gave an interestinginside viewpoint on the currentEuropean situation.

The pledges have been quitebusy with sandpaper and an elfc-tric wood-burner. Their littlepieces of handicraft are quitenovel and attractive.

There wa's a general sigh ofrelief around the house as thefirst six weeks exams passed andthe grades came back but then,there is the next six weeks draw-ing near an end and those qual-ifying exams for the mid-yeargraduates.

Thoughts are now, however,straying toward Thanksgivingand Christmas vacations. Itwon't be long now.

The Iota Tau Sigma had itsfirst picnic of the year October24. This picnic being primarlya get-together for the pledges,however not many of the pledgeswere present. I really don'tthink they know what theymissed out on.

The four years we spent atschool, and our life in the fra-ternity are to be the happiestdays of our lives. We were re-minded of this by an alumnusof this school and fraternitybrother, Dr. J. Dunham. BrotherDunham came to visit us on hisway to California, where he isto take a postgraduate course ineye, ear, nose and throat.

Although social fraternitiesare u'sually regarded as the nameimplies "social organizations,"the members of Phi Sigma Gam-ma look at their fraternity as astudy hall. This is the attitudethat makes our members respectour fraternity.

On Sunday, Nov. 6, "Spec"Jemison and Don Soil were in-itiated into the fraternity.Pledgemasster H. Laird Taggartwas in charge of the ceremony.May these new members derivethe same benefits from the fra-ternity the former ones have.

Of those men connected withPhi Sigma Gamma, six werepledged to honorary fraternities.They were:

To Psi Sigma Alpha-J. M.Yagoobian, K. Fowler, Pledge H.Wirt, and Pledge R. Sowers.

To Sigma Sigma Phi-H.Laird Taggart and T. R. Koenig.

Thanksgiving brings to manylonesome parents and wives theirhomesick school-boys. To thoselucky individuals who are goinghome for their Thanksgiving va-cation we wish "hap'py landing."We all know that those who stayhere will have a good time.

The members of the fraternityhave taken on a new sprint withthe news that President Sanchezis on the road to recovery andaltho he will unlikely be with usthis semester, this word is en-couraging. Several projects havebeen proposed and plans fortheir enactment are going aheadrapidly. An all school danceearly in December is one of im-portance to the college and allalumni in the immediate vicinity.

Several pledges have beenadded to the fraternity rosterand a complete list will be re-leased in the near future. SigmaSigma Phi is busy and workingin harmony with all the studentsand administration. We hope topleasantly surprise our manyfriends with some of our pro-posed projects.

The Stillonian40th Anniversary Year Book

It is indeed with pleasure thatwe the students, announce theforthcoming publication of a col-lege year book.

Some years ago, as many ofthe practitioners in the field willrecall, there was a publishedyear book known'a's the 'Stillon-ian.' ' Due to various reasonsthe school authorities saw fit todiscontinue this publication.Since then there have been manyrequests by students and grad-uates for a revival of the an-nual.

This year, due to the hardwork and effort's of the staffand with the full approval of theboard of trustees the Stillonianis to be-published. It is indeedfitting that during this year, the40th anniversary of the college,the Stillonian should put in printa more or less detailed recordof the activities, personnel, stu-dent body and alumni of the col-lege.

To the practitioner in the field,we feel that this will be an ex-cellent opportunity' to re-livetheir school days and renew ac-quaintance with the several de-partments of the college. Ofcourse,, we as members of thepresent student body realize thattife Stillonian is the one best re-membrance we could have of our'school days.

Publication of the Stillonianwill be in May, 1939. Subscrip-tions and contributions from theAlumni can be sent in any timeup to February 1, 1939 in careof the college. May we hearfrom you?

The following members of thestudent body were elected to editand publish the 40th Anniver-sary Stillonian:Editor-Jean LeRoque.Assistant Editor-Beryl Free-

man.Assistant Editor-Sib Barnes.'Business Manager-Paul Green.Circulation-Harry Wing.Photography-Paul Feldman.Art-Joseph Prior.Organizations-Ed. Callahan.Faculty, Hospital and Clinic-

Osteopathic Therapeutics(Nbo. 3 in Series)

I should like to repeat a state-ment made in last month's dis-cussion, "DISEASE IS A LOG-ICAL RESPONSE IN A DIS-ORDERED STRUCTURE." Os-teopathic spinal lesions changethe chemistry of tissues suppliedby vaso motor nerves from cor-responding segments of the spin-al cord. The normal alkalinebalance of the blood and thetissue fluids of the involvedareas ins lost with resulting ede-ma and an increase of pressureboth intra and extra cellular.This hydration change is coin-cident and coextensive with thevascular disturbance. Tissues soinvolved are impaired in func-tional response and in recupera-tive power. The natural im-munity to infection in such tis-sues is lessened or actually des-troyed and the door is openedto zymotic invasion. A "locusminoris resistentiae" has beenestablished.

Among the letters I have athand is one quoting from an ad-dress made recently by a pastpresident of the A. 0. A. He isstrong for strict preliminaryqualifications. He is asking forc-ibly for quality at the expense ofquantity in securing more stu-dents. We have raised thequality of our students by add-ing to the requirements. Wehave limited the quantity. by thisvery move. What have we gainedand what have we lost? ? Thiscannot be predicted as to thegain. It should give us a higherIQ as a whole in a few years.I will admit that we do needmore intelligence in our profes-sion but that i's true of everyline of business. Ours is no ex-ception. The loss is the thingthat we should see in type justas large a's the quality figure.Will these fewer members ofthe osteopathic profession be ableto accomplish more than thequantity we have at present. Willfewer o'steopaths serve more p'a-tients and spread the truth's ofour science? Will a shrinkingprofession feel the greater pride,because of certain educationalstandards, than an expandingprofession with the sense of in-creased service to greater num-bers?

Dr. Becker, president of ourcollege, recently said that twen-ty minutes a day of concentrat-ed effort would move mountains.That is what every member ofthe osteopathic profession mustdo now. We have mountains tomove and it means concentratedeffort to produce results. Ourcolleges have been improvingfrom within. They have had lit-tle need for outside restrictionsto be placed upon them. They doneed outside encouragement inthe form of tangible studentsand funds. It is to be hoped thatthe Alumni of ea'ch of our col-leges will come to the full real-ization of this opportunity forosteopathic progress and meetthe immediate needs of our col-leges in the perpetuation of ourscience.

DR. ARTHUR E. ALLEN-president of the A. 0. A.

responded to Dr. Facto's requestfor a word for the Log Book

when Dr. Facto met with theMinnesota State Association in

October. This is well worth put-ting where you can see it often.

"The Osteopathic machinery isrunning at medium speed. Shallwe push back the throttle to lowspeed or push forward the throt-

Alumni NewsThe college is greatly pleased

over some recent news from ourAlumni Association. A commit-tee appointed at the Still iollegeBreakfast in Cincinnati duringthe convention has been at workand Michigan is the first state toreport complete organizationplans. During the recent stateconvention in Michigan theAlumni of our college got to-gether at a luncheon planned byDr. L. Verna Simmons of GrandRapids. About forty attendedand a motion was made duringthe meeting that each year atthe state meeting a similarluncheon shall be held.

Dr. John E. Rogers of Osh-kosh, Wise., was the principlespeaker and convinced the groupthat the student and endowmentsituation in our colleges is notflattering. Several were calledupon to express an opinion ofwhat might be done to remedythe situation and as a resultDr. Robert Morgan of Cadillacwas elected president of theMichigan D. M. S. C. 0. AlumniAssociation. Dr. Charles Auseonwas elected secretary and treas-urer and Drs. Russell Wrightand Paul Leonard were electedcouncilors. A definite plan ofaction was decided upon and aresolution wa's offered request-ing the annual breakfast to bechanged to a dinner held at thesame time of other collegealumni meetings.

At the same time Iowa wasgetting under way with a similarorganization. Dr. Fred Campbellcalled a group together in DesMoines and offi'cers were electedand a program planned. Dr.Paul Park was elected president,Dr. Ruth Paul, secretary-trea's-urer, Dr. Bruce Farmer, vice-president and Drs. Rachel Woodsand Clarl Sea'strand, councilors.The first objective of this nucleuswill be to enroll the alumni ofthe state and form a working or-ganization.

Dr. Clybourne of ColumbusOhio reports that a meeting willbe held in Columbus SundayNovember 20th the objective ofwhich will be the beginning of a*state organization similar tcthose in Michigan and Iowa.

It is needless to add thhat thetrustees of the college very deep-ly appreciate these efforts by theAlumni and assure them thatthey will cooperate in every waypossible.

Open Your Eyes-IIBy E. Harwood

Last month when the galleyproof of the first of this seriescame thru there was no doubt inthe minds of the readers as tothe truth of any of the state-ments made or to their timelyappearance. There was somediscussion as to the advisabilityof being a little blunt and out-spoken about individuals. Per-hiaips it is not good taste to men-tion names but when names aresigned to an article it certainlyis within the right of anotherwriter to refer to the authoreven if he may comment in ancontroversial vein. We havenot had any indication yet thateither friendly or diplomatic re-lations have been severed with'any of the personalities men-tioned in last months' article sowe continue.

As of last month we have col-lected the several publicationssent us and have carefully lookedthem over. We note that Chi-cago thru its Beacon is silenton the question of students andthe effect of reduced numbers onthe future of the college. Westill do not have anything fromKansas City but we note thatKirksville is continuing the pleafor more support.

The major change in editorialcomment comes from our ownJournal of the A. O. A. We arehappy to admit that we guesseda little wrong last month. Wethot from the tone of the firstarticle that the writers wouldcontinue along the road that they


A Kind Word

On the night of November 27when the Taylor Brothers,(Evangelists) held their lastmeeting in the Shrine Auditor-ium, Charlie Taylor spoke asfollows, "I want to especiallythank Dr. Bachman, and if heisn't here will some one kindlypass it on to him, for those finemanipulative treatments thathelped me to feel so good. OhBoy! It takes the Osteopiath to,give them."

There was a grand ring of ap-plause from 4,300 in the audi-ence which seemed to certainlyindicate their approval of Osteo-pathy. It would have been agreat thrill for any osteopathicphysician to have been presentand heard this response.

ATAS [LUNovember, being a month of

Vacations, finds us with a lackof a great :deal of specific activi-ties. Quite a few of the mem-bers and pledges made tracks forhome during the Armistice andThanksgiving vacations. This leftvery little time for social func-tions. Open house was, held asusual on alternate Fridays andSaturdays. We have not, as yet,found out the various details, ofthe trips home. Everyone ar-rived back safe and soundthough.

On Monday evening, November21, Dr. R. B. Bachman of DesMoines spoke at our practicalwork meeting. Dr. Bachman isone of the foremost obstetriciansin the state and gave an excel-lent talk.

AOrThe Alpha Epsilon Phi Frater-

nity of Drake University wasentertained by L. O. G. on No-vember 21, at the A.E.P. Frat.house just off the Drake campus.The subject was Osteopathy.Frater Paul H. Feldman waisMaster of Ceremonies. Principalspeakers were, Dr. H. V. Halla-day, and Dr. J. L. ;Berck. Afilm on the principles of Osteo-pathy, 0. B., and Surgery wasshown. The affair was a greatsuccess and L. O. G. will conducta similar program for the A. Z.A. of Des; Moines after the firstof the year.

New officers of the L. O. G.for the spring term are:Cerebrum-P. H. Feldman.Cerebellum-Martin FriedenbergPons Edward Kanter.Calmus Scriptorius -Samuel

Gross.Neuroglia-Bernard Weiss.Calvarium-Paul Green.

Bernard Weiss is making greatprogress; in his new profession,that of haunting houses, "fiverooms and bath $1.98." As longas his red blood count remainsbelqw four million he will dofine.

L. O. G. wants to take this op-portunity to wish its fellow fra-ternities the best wishes of theChristmas season.

Phi Sigma Gamma is reallygoing in for that Christmas at-mosphere. A Christmas tree waspurchased and all the decora-tions that go with it includingmistletoe, the latter being one of"Arkansas"' Yagoobian's ideas.J. C. Robertson is the artist inwhom will be intrusted the dec-orating of the house. A Christ-mas party has been suggestedwhich will be an informal gath-ering of members and pledges-hoping to instill that Christmasspirit.

Our last Monday "work night"included a talk given by MissAva Johnson on her travelsthrough Europe. She also gaveher viewpoint on the situationin Germany. It was a pictures-que scene to see the boys gath-ered around the fireplace listen-ing to the very interesting talk.

To an inquiry as to the nick-names of some of the membersin the house we found there wasa "Tony" Ferris, "Poopyboy-Bowden, Lairy Taggart, BunneyMillard, Folsom Hardy, "Lover"Plautz, "Coach" Munger, "Dad-dy" LeRoque, Pug Edgerton,"Rocket" Woodruff, SnacksReese, "Wirtsey Dear," and"Dupey" Hall. Resemblance toany person living or dead, in thismanuscript, is entirely coinciden-tal.

We, the members and pledgesof Phi Sigma Giamma, take thisopportunity to wish the facultyand students of Still College avery Merry Christmas and aHappy and Prosperous NewYear.

Psi Sigma Alpha held theirregular business meeting Tues-day, November 28th. The usualbusiness was transacted. It wasvoted unanimously that everymember of Psi Sigma Alphawould subscribe for the "Stillon-ian." The Senior Banquet willbe held January 10th. Alphaand Beta Chapters of Kirksvilleand Kansas City respectively areinvited to attend the banquet.

At our last regular meetingwhich was held at Dalstromsfuneral home, Dr. Cash gave avery interesting talk on his va-cation in California. While inCalifornia he saw many of theolder members of the Iota TauSigma, and was invited to manyof their meetings. Because of hisrelations Dr. Cash experienced amuch more interesting vacation.Toward the end of the meetingwe presented Dr. Ciash with agift because of his interest andthe many other things he hasdone for our fraternity.

Xmas vacation starts Fridayand ends January i3rd. Whileyou are home try and make afew contacts with prospectivestudents. Every member andpledge should know at least oneprospective student. Don't forgetfellows that vacation ends Janu-ary 3rd.

We the members and pledgesof the Iota Tau Sigma wish toextend our sympathy in behalfof the death of Brother Jeran-sons father.

On Wednesday, December 15,a potluck dinner will be held atLavonne Overton's home andeach sorority member will haveas her guest a clinic child.

Osteopathic Therapeutics

(No. 4 in series)

Region of head and neck con-tinued:

ConjunctivitisThere are a number of con-

junctival infections which pro-duce acute inflammation. As-sociated symptoms are pain,swelling, photophobia, copiousdischarge discoloration and im-paired function. The most com-mon infection producing con-junctivitis is the Koch-Weeksbacillus. Infections by the pneu-mococcus or the gonococcus aremore rare ;and also more serious.In order to define our problemfor this brief discussion, we willconsider the type of conjunctivi-tis caused by the Koch-Weeksbacillus, acute contagious con-junctivitis (pink eye). This di-sease or condition is frequentlyfound among school children andmay occur as localized epidemics.

There are several factors inthe treatment of "pink eye" thatare important adjunctive meais-ures. The following may bementioned; irrigation of the con-junctival sac with a warm non-irritating, mildly antiseptic solu-tion; installation of a mild anti-septic in the form of 'drops' andthe introduction of sterile whitevaseline to favor drainage and toprevent the eyelids becomingglued together during sleep. Theeyes should be protected fromlight either by the use of darkglasses or a bandage. The pa-tient should be instructed notto use the eyes for reading orother close work. Dependingupon the severity of the involve-ment, many or all of these meas-ures are important and serve tofacilitate recovery.

The advantages secured by os-teopathic treatment consistchiefly in the discovery and cor-rection of osteopathic lesions inthe upper cervical area and inthe upper dorsal area of thespine. Vaso motor control of eyecirculation both intrinsic and ex-trinsic is by way of the superiorcervical ganglion. The pre-ganglionic innervation is fromthe upper dorsal segments of thecord first to third, more specific-ally, second dorsal. Osteopathictreatment means much morethan just loosening up in theseindicated areas. It rather con-sists of the most discriminatingdiagnosis of lesions in these

areas and careful but insistentleverages to secure normal mov-ability of involved articulations.Articular fixations must bethoroughly overcome.

The osteopathic treatment notonly secures vaso motor tonicitybut favorably influences the tro-phism of the involved tissues.Healing power, recuperativepower is inherent in tissues.Nothing can be put in tisisues oron tissues that will heal tissues.Healing comes from within. Itis a natural process or powerresident in the cell. Osteopathicnormalization by correcting cir-culatory imbalance makes avail-able to the tissues the resourcesof which they stand possessed.Venous and lympathic drainageare favored by freeing up thetempero-miandibular articulationsana bringing the jaw well ror-ward and by careful relaxationof the anterior cervical tissuesas in the cases of otitis mediadiscussed in the November arti-cle. Mild and moderately severecases require daily treatment.Severe involvements require restin bed and two or more treat-ments daily.

The osteopathic principles in-volved in a discussion such as inthe foregoing case apply for anyinflammatory condition involvingthe eyes whether acute or chron-ic. In chronic conjunctivitis, incorneal ulcer, in rheumatic iritisand other similar involvements,it is of first importance that theblood supplv be normalized bycorrection and maintenance incorrection of any disturbing les-ions. It is of greateFt import-ance that trophism be unim-paired.

Many cases of disturbed visiondue to muscular imbalance maybe helped or entirely relieved byosteopathic corrective treatment.Certain nutritional involvementssuch as senile cataract can beimproved or progress may be de-layed by normalizing the bloodsupply by means of lesion correc-tion. Cases of eye disease oc-curring as part and parcel ofleutic infection such as syphiliticiritis, syphilitic corneal ulcer orsyphilitic retinitis should receiveanti-syphilitic medication in ad-dition to the osteopathic meas-ures. -A.

Polk CountyOsteopathic Association

The November meeting of thePolk County Osteopathic Associ-ation was held at the Hotel Kirk-wood with thirty-five members.in attendance. The main eventof the evening was the presenta-tion of a paper on "Pneumonia"by Dr. 0. E. Rose, followed by a"round-table" discussion led byDr. Fred Campbell. Practicallyevery member present took partin the discussion if which ideaswere exchanged in regard to thecare and management of pneu-monia cases from the Osteopath-ic standpoint. The arrangementsof the program was so well re-ceived by the group that it wasvoted that a similar plan befollowed in meetings later in theyear.

The December meeting washeld at the Still College Build-ing, with the College acting ashost to the association; in theform of a splendid dinner. Fol-lowing a brief business meeting,Dr. H. V. Halladay presented avery splendid lecture on the sub-ject: "The anatomy of the footand leg in relation to foot tech-nic." The presentation was il-lustrated by a series of lanternslides; which were photographicreproductions from unusual cutsin various books, photographs,and x-ray plates. Dr. Halladayexplained a number of anatomi-cal features of the foot and legwhich must be taken into con-sideration when applying Osteo-pathic manipulative measures tothe foot. Following the lecture,Dr. Becker invited the group toinispect the new Clinical Path-ology Laboratory which was infull operation. Special demon-strations of blood diseases wereset up, along with the presenta-tion of the procedures for blood-sugar, ureanitrogen in the bloodland blood sedamentation.

It is the desire of the PolkCounty Association to expresstheir sincere appreciation to the,College for the very splendiddinner, as well as for the lectureby Dr. Halladay and the ClinicalPathology demonstration.

A Studious Still StudentStudies Strenously

A young FREEMAN, who wasa TAYLOR by trade, but alsQo agood FOWLER, picked up hisgun and went into the BLACK-WOOD behind the GREEN-HOUSE, thinking that he mightsee a CROW that he couldWING, or maybe pick a POSEYfor his little daughter LILLY.As he was a good WALKER andhad gotten by the GATEMAN atthe BARNES, he walked LONG,and soon came to a LEIGH nearthe MILLS, where the grass wasGREEN. Though he was aHARDY IRISH man, he noticedthat he had a PAYNE in theSOLL of his foot, and not know-ing WATT else to do, he decidedhe WOOD rest awhile. Being likeREESE, he soon went to sleepunder a FIGG tree. When heawoke it was GRAY dawn, andthe GOLDEN morning LIGHTwas just appearing through th;eWOODS. As he arose and pickedup his gun to start home, he saw,at a GLANTZ, a FOX jump frombehind some bushes, so heSCHOTT it. He walked on withthe animal over his shoulder, andsoon knew he was nearing home,as he heard his YOUNG son,MICHEAL, BAHLING. Upon en-tering the 'house,- he walkedthrough the HALL to theKITCHEN where his STERNwife was canning PEASE. HeDREW his KEAYS from a draw-er, went outside, started hisFORD, and drove down the road.He soon returned with someCASH and now knew HOWE hecould buy some Osteopathic Stu-dent Loan Fund SEALS. Thatnight he sleepily crawled into hisWHITE SHEETS knowing thathe had done a good turn.

This matter of preparation forthe decreased attendance at thecolleges is more a concern of theprofession than it is of the col-leges. The faculties of our col-leges will continue to live ifevery college closes its doors to-morrow but the profession be-gins to die just as soon as thisthing actually starts. The indi-viduals making up our professionwill continue thru their allottedtime but Osteopathy will diewith this generation unless theprofession takes part of its timeto do as the old timers did. Theywere so enthused that each sentone or two students a year backto their choice of colleges. It isthis attitude that must be revivedif Osteopathy is to grow andkeep pace with the demand.
