Dr. Glantz RevampsUrology Program

Dr. Wesley Glantz, Des Moines,Graduate of 1941, Professor otProctology and Urology on thyiCollege Staff, recommended ex-tension of this phase of the osteo-pathic curriculum. Proctologyand Urology have previously beengiven as a two hour course forl ... semester. "--Dr. -Gantza prs-.posed that a two-hour course begiven in Proctology alone, toalternate semesters with Roent-,genology. Urology, he suggestedshould constitute a two hourcourse through the year.

These recommendations weremade after careful thought, inconsideration of both the require-ments of the Bureau of Educationof the A.O.A. and of the students.The changes have been approvedby the Dean, and will be put inforce in September of this year.An interim is requisite for thecompletion of the transition.

BackgroundDr. Glantz was graduated from

Union College at Lincoln,Nebraska,, in 1929, with the aimof entering the teaching profes-sion. He accepted a position onthe faculty of the Shelton (Neb.)High School, in which he con-tinued until 1933 when he enter-ed the field of business. Dr.Glantz, while in the teaching pro-fession persistently sought addi-tional training which would bet-ter suit him for the task. Hepursued work toward his Master'sdegree at the University ofNebraska in the summer of 1929;during the sunmmer of 1930 andthe spring of 1932, he was engagedin further graduate work at Kan-sas State College in Hayes.

Dr. Glantz's businesslike attitude and keen interest in thejob at hand continued to be re-flected during his studentship atthe Des Moines Still College. Asa result of his outstandingscholarship he was elected to PsiSigma Alpha, osteopathic honor-ary scholastic society. Followinghis graduation from the DesMoines College in 1941, his ap-plication for interneship was ac-cepted at the Des Moines GeneralHospital. Retention of Dr. Glantzon the Hospital staff is indicativeof the professional respect ex-tended Dr. Glantz by his col-leagues. At present, he fills thepost of anesthetist on the Hos-pital Staff.

lectureship on the college facultyin 1942. His studious habit, in-

College Curriculum IsRevised and Expanded

Coincident with the remodel-ing of the fourth floor and theinstallation of new laboratories,a sweeping change has been madein the curriculum, expanding byapproximately 500 hours studentrequirements.

Hourly ScheduleC..lasses are held on an-hourly

basis, rather than the previous45 minute basis, necessitating areduction in the number of classperiods in the morning from fiveto four. Classes start on thehour and run for fifty-fiveminutes, and meet 3 times perweek in lieu of the five meet-ings previously held.

The new schedule exceeds by600 hours the minimum of theA.O.A. Bureau of Colleges andProfessional Education. Short-ages existing in the previousschedules are more than account-ed for in the change.

Courses ExpandedThe Anatomy courses, includ-

ing Histology and Embryology,comprise a total of 772 hours.The courses include GrossAnatomy (Dissection), t w ocourses in systemic anatomy, ap-plied anatomy Histology andEmbryology. Dr. Kimberly,Chairman of the Anatomy De-partment, also offers a coursein Surgical Anatomy, consistingof practice in basic surgical prin-ciples and technique.

The department of Surgery hasundergone the greatest expansionof the several divisions of thecurriculum. A .third semesterhas been added to' the previouslytwo-semester course in GeneralSurgery; the time allotted toorthopedics is doubled; the timefor Otolaryngology is doubled;and the proctology and urologycourse is tripled in time re-quired.

A new course, designatedTechnique IV, is offered by Pro-fessor Laycock in the Depart-ment of Osteopathy. This coursewill supplement the TechniqueIII previously offered, and willbe offered to Senior A students.

In the department of Pre-ventive Medicine a Sophomorecourse is offered in Parasitology.The course consists of 3 lecturesper week with 6 hours of labora-tory, weekly.

Nervous and Mental Diseases,offered previously as a 3-hourcourse, is increased to 4 hours.

Dr. Goldenrespects both the efforts and in-tention of the National Associa-tion and promises to rally thesupport of her constitutents be-hind this gigantic effort.

She urges each physician toperuse carefully the literature re-cently released from the office ofDr. Tilley and support generous-ly the nationally planned, overallcampaign. Said Dr. Golden,"Osteopathic education is not aCollege affair, not an A.O.A. af-fair; it is the heart and soul ofeach one of us. Today is themost crucial period of osteopathiceducation in the history of ourprofession. We must all supportour colleges now. Tomorrow, yes-tomorrow may be too late."

Dr. Tilley adds, "The profes-sion and the colleges are nowunited in one great movement.We, therefore, urge you to giveall that you can, at once . . . tothe college of your choice orto the National (Overall) Fund!"Concluding his letter to the pro-fession, Dr. Tilley cautions, "Re-member! This is the greatestchallenge ever faced by Osteo-pathy, and each of us must dohis part."

The College CampaignsFive of the Osteopathic Col-

The Osteopathic Pro-fession has rallied behind thecause of education in grand style.Now the five colleges who arecompleting their alumni cam-paigns and are about to embarkon public campaigns are joinedby the sixth approved college, inKirksville.

CURRICULUM

(Continued From Page One)

preciably. Students still serve inthe clinic for 3 semesters. Re-ducing the 'number of classperiods from five to four in themorning has required that ad-ditional lectures be given in theafternoon. Surgery lectures areoffered at 1:00, three days perweek. Urology will be offered onthe alternate two days. Addition-ally, Proctology and Roentgen-ology will be offered at 2:00,Tuesday and Thursday, in alter-nate semesters. Clinic presenta-tion remains, as previously,Thursday at 3:00.

Under conditions of the revisedcurriculum, therefore, studentswill have 702 afternoon hours(exclusive of evening and morn-ing calls and obstetrical attend-ances) for treatment of patients.Requirements are currently 600treatments; therefore each stu-dent will have approximately onehour and ten minutes per treat-ment. This is considered ampleby the clinic staff.

Hospital TrainingIn spite of the fact that the

number of hours of instructionhas been increased, the revisedcurriculum has moved lecturecourses back in the student'sprogram. The result is that hehas a minimum of courses in hisSenior A semester, and is there-fore free for hospital instruction18 hours per week. It is plannedto devote this time to instruc-tion in hospital routine, majorand minor surgery, X-ray diagno-sis and therapy, fracture care,obstetrics, pre- and post-operativecare, clinical laboratory work andfamiliarization with acute, hos-pitalized cases of various condi-tions.

Individual Initiative

The last semester in 'the stu-dent's program is intentionallyleft quite free of required time.The remaining hours which arenot spent in class will be usedvery largely at the discretion ofthe student. Good students willuse them in training himself tobe a physician with the coopera-tion and supervision of the hos-pital and clinical staff. A poorstudent will, as always, seek toavoid the thing for which he paidhis tuition. That situation can-not be corrected by a "schedule."It is not a panacea, but it isa vast improvement over the old-er schedule.

FacultyFaculty response to the change

has been very favorable. Inchanging from the programwhich required meeting classeseach day to one which requiresonly three meetings per week,and in moving courses backtoward the freshman year, it isobvious that there must be sacri-fices on the part of the Staff,even to the point of duplicatingcourses during the transition.Faculty members have been mostcooperative in facilitating the

The Spirit That BuildsA Strong Profession

Dr. G. A. Kerr of Metropolis,Illinois, who was graduated fromthe Des Moines College inJanuary, 1907, sends the follow-ing letter:

"Dr. GoldenDes Moines Still College ofOsteopathyDear Doctor:

"I'm sorry that I don't knowyou personally, but I have afine knowledge of you andyour activities in behalf ofOsteopathy. I have been outof active practice 20 years.Nine years-ago I broke my hipin a fall. One year ago I frozemy toes, and Diabetes andCystitis followed my hip frac-ture. Yet I seem to be O.K.from my maxillaries up.

change. Adjustment to such adrastic change supports our con-tention that we have a live-wiregroup who are anxious to makethe most of educational oppor-tunities for the students.

Students

Students, faced with an in-creasing amount of work, feelthat the change is in the rightdirection. Earnest and serious-minded, they have made the ad-justment to the revised systemwith a minimum of complaint.Chief complaints among thosewhich were voiced pertained notto the expansion of the cur-riculum, but to the interferencewith part-time work. They havesought, and are succeeding, inmaking this change. Their atti-tude is most commendable.

Osteopathy Without Limitation

A Message of Thanks to

The Alumni Association

The Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy has advanced suffi-ciently during the past two yearsthat it has surprised even itself.Advances have been made inscholarship, in preosteopathic rei-quirements, student demneanor,seriousness of purpose, programfor expansion, modeirnization andenrlargement of the library,faculty organization and en-thusiasnm, laboratory plan andequipment, relationship to thepublic, and in many ways sosubtle that they escape descrip-tion.

Progress does not just happen.Without a driving force progresscannot take place. There has beencooperation beyond expectationsby students, faculty, college of-ficers and friends of Osteopathy.The driving force has belen alumniorganization.

The group of alumni whoformed, in 1935, the NationalAlumni Association could hardlyhave suspected that their laborswould bear so richly of educa-tional progress. It has been the ag-gressiveness, assiduous applicationto the goal of Advancement, andthe intelligent perspective of thisgroup which have brought aboutthese creditable changes.

National Association

The National Alumni Associa-tion under the leadership of Dr.Paul L. Park of Des Moines, hascreated a unity and spirit amongDes Moines graduates which willforce the Des Moines College toa position of leadership in pro-fessional education. Throughthe agency of the Public Rela-tions Committee of the Nation-al Alumni Association and itsfinancial organ, the Still CollegeClub, the college has receivedmany marks of improvement,most prominent of which is thelibrary, which should be a pointof pride for each Des Moinesalumnus. It has formed the DesMoines Still College OsteopathicFoundation, Inc., a medium dis-tinct from the College organiza-tion. (The latter body is head-ed by J. J. Newlin, Manager ofthe Pioneer Hybrid Corn Co.;Treasurer is Nelse Hansen, activeand respected business man ofDes Moines; Dr. P. L. Park andDr. Ruth Paul (Secretary) andDr. J. P. Schwartz, as president

National Alumni President

of the College, complete theExecutive committee of theFoundation. Foundation mem-bers to date total 19, the remain-ing fourteen members being avirtual duplication of the PublicRelations Committee.) Throughthe Foundation, a committee wasset up with Dr. Mary E. Gold-en as chairman, for conductingthe campaign. The campaign hasyielded in alumni pledges morethan $100,000, and in cash imorethan $50,000.

Individual members of theFoundation maintain a keen andactive interest in the disposal ofthese funds. They were con-tributed with the clear under-standing that they were for im-mediate disbursement, and theFoundation is using extraor-dinary caution to be certainthat these Alumni funds are spentwisely.

Overall Plan

In appreciation of the greatamount of time and energywhich the Des Moines group hasspent, individually and collective-ly, for College advancement noalumnus or associate of the Col-lege can deny them the creditwhich is due. Every alumnus ofthe Des Moines College owes eachone a debt of gratitude.

Any group of equal size can doas great service to the College, toOsteopathy and to themselves asthis group has done. We there-fore urge you individually to or-ganize booster clubs whereveryou may be. The Alumni as-sociation can be a hundred timesstronger than it is at present. Thesurface has just been scratched inmanifestation of loyalty, activityand support for the college.Alumni are only now beginningto realize that they are the Col-lege. The College will developand expand only insofar asalumni exert themselves. There

can be no hocus-pocus about it.

The College cannot rise in educa-tional circles without outside sup-port. There will be no outsidesupport until you, personally,have supported. The driving forceof a group of fifteen alumni,

with the support of a fourth ofthe al2umni body, has given to theDes es one Still College ONEOF THE FINEST INSTRUC-TIONAL LABORATORIE'S INTHE MIDDLE WEST. Whatwould the combined and unifiedefforts of all the alumni be ableto accomplish! The possibilitiesare limitless.

Osteopathy and your Collegeare driving forward and upwardin a sweep that cannot be stop-ped-except by its own associates,except by you.

Clinical Hospital"What about the Clinical Hos-

pital? I thought that this cam-paign was for a Clinical Hospital?When do you plan to start build-ing?" No, alumni, the ClinioalHospital is not forgotten. Plansfor the Hospital are quite as aliveas ever. The revised College cur-riculum takes into account thehospital (could it not even bestated, therefore, that the revisedcurricultum is a part of the hos-

pital?). In the original budget$150,000 was alloted for the hos-pital; repeatedly plans have beenstated to include a public cam-paign. Neither proposal ischanged, but unfortunately, it isnot possible to dictate to the pub-lic what and when to give. OurCollege campaign must be dove-tailed with all of the require-ments of the public-Bond drive,Red Cross, Income Tax, Com-munity Chest and the host ofother annual demands. No,alumni, the Hospital is not for-gotten.

Your RoleEach Osteopathic Physician,

who is a graduate of Des Moines,must take it upon himself to or-ganize a local alumni club. Thatgroup must act. Luncheonmeetings and internal wranglingare not sufficient. Pull togetherand boost. ORGANIZE! That isthe first and imost important job.

Set for yourself a goal. Estab-lish a project which your groupcan develop. Communicate withyour national officers in orderthat efforts will not be duplicatedOrganize now and push. Remem-ber, DES MOINES STILL COL-LEGE IS YOUR HARVARD.

The first of the social functionsof the semester was a dinnerdance held at the Mainliner Clubon the evening of January 12.Flowers and candlelight madefor a friendly atmosphere for thefifty guests present. Faculty,alumni, guests and members en-joyed a pleasant evening.

At the close of last semesterPsi Sigma Alhpa was privilegedto honor the following men formaintaining high scholastic aver-ages: Paul Stern for maintainingthe highest average during hisfreshman year, and HerbertHarris for the highest averagemaintained throughout his fresh-man and sophomore years. At thesenior banquet Carl Waterburywas awarded the certificate forthe graduating senior who main-tained the highest average forall four years in Still College.His name has also been added tothe Psi Sigma Alpha plaquewhich hangs in the clinic waitingroom.

As we came back to the oldcollege on January 10th, we allfelt a deep sense of gratitude tothe alumni and faculty membersfor the great job of remodelingthat has been and is being done.Still College has indeed becomesymbolic of the rapidly advancingprofession of which it is such avital part.

Phi Sigma Gamma wishes toextend invitation to the new stu-dents to visit our chapter houselocated at 2141 Grand Ave. Of-ficers for the present semesterare: Archon, James Crane, Phu-lax, Howard Hattesen; Cruco-phulax, Vernon Clausing; Prono-tarius, Gail Boyd; Exastase, HoyEakle.

Plans are already under wayfor general house improvementswhich we hope will be completedfor the party which is planned inthe near future for the entirestudent body and faculty.

Correction

The December issue of theLOG BOOK inadvertently statedthat the Sigma Sigma Phi awardfor "outstanding service to theDes Moines College" was givento Dr. Robert Patton. ActuallyDr. Tyrus Peace, now of Red Oak,Iowa, was the recipient.

Periodically faculty membersmust answer a hundred timesprior to registration, and after-ward as well, "How does the newClass look". In past years, theanswer was given in terms ofnumbers. Since the outbreak ofthe war, however, numbers havecontinually dropped with eachnew registration period. Theanswer is now given in terms ofquality-for all those who re-ceived recently an, ambiguous orevasive answer. The new classlooks great.

Freshmen, enrolling in the col-lege are David H. Sands, Texas;Robert Sedar, Iowa; WalterD. Peterson, Michigan; Wilbur T.Huls, Iowa; William G. Delahan,Ohio; Marion Thomson, SouthDakota; R. M. Martin, Iowa;Keigo Hase, Nebraska.

We also welcome back DonMack, who was forced by cir-cumstance to remain out ofschool for two years, and SteveCronen who is looking forwardeagerly to completion of theosteopathic curriculum.

Pearson Reproves Navy'sAnti-Osteopathy Stand

Starting off the New Year bygoing to bat for Osteopathy,Drew Pearson, in his columnWashington Merry - Go - Round,blasted the Navy in the follow-ing article:

No Navy Osteopaths"The 'flu' has been epidemic

partly because there aren'tenough doctors to care for thecivilian population. This short-age of doctors could be somewhatrelieved, however, if the serviceswould commission osteopathicphysicians instead of makingorderlies, whose duties rangefrom dumping bed pans to clean-ing floors.

"Actually, congress has alreadyruled for commissioning osteo-paths in the Navy, but theAmerican Medical Associationhas put such pressure on NavySurgeon General Ross T. Mc-Intire that the will of con-gress has been thwarted andosteopaths are still being use fre-quently as orderlies.

"More than a year ago, con-gress authorized the Navy to clom-rmission osteopathy graduates.But no action from the Navyyet. (Pearson's bold-face.)

"Admiral McIntire contendsthat osteopaths are not qualifiedfor general practice. The osteo-paths contend that they are.Meantime Admiral McIntire con-tinues to use, with his No. Onepatient, F.D.R., a mild form ofosteopathy which he calls physio-therapy. At the end of every day,McIntire's assistant, George Fox,stimulates the president's circula-tion with a therapeutic massage."

GLANTZ(Continued From Page 1)

terest in student welfare and col-lege progress, earned for himpromotion to Assistant Professor-ship in 1943. His earnest applica-tion, efficient and lucid lecturemanner and his subtle but omni-present sense of humor rate himA-1 with his students. On thelapel of his winning personalityDr. Glantz wears the servicebadge of the successful instructor-kindliness, sincerity, scholar-ship, humor and efficiency.

"After Hours"Dr. Glantz cannot admit that

he has one hobby-"It seems tome that I enjoy everything I do."He gets particular enjoyment,however, out of language. Histraining in Latin and Greek, hefeels, has given him greater satis-faction than any nonprofession-al phase of his experience. Hereads freely French, Spanish andGerman, but characteristically,again, claims to be "rusty" inthis respect. There can be nodenial, though, of the fact thathe is vitally interested in Osteo-pathy and its practice. The Col-lege feels a pride and good for-tune in its association with Dr.Glantz; the LOG BOOK is grate-ful for the opportunity of pass-ing along to its readers these fewitems regarding Dr. Glantz.

Young, Honor Student,Offers Comments

On Externeship

In the summer of 194J theDes Moines General Hospitaloffered its facilities for the in-struction of Senior Students inhospital routine and hospitalprocedures. The externeship,made compulsory by the Boardof Trustees of the College andincorporated in the Senior Cur-riculum at the Des Moines StillCollege was reviewed in theLOG BOOK, February, 1943.The two weeks spent by eachsenior at the Des Moines Gen-eral Hospital, although exactinga.f: thse student's time and.energy,have been generously ap-preciated by each one. Mr.Young, selected by the Com-mittee on Scholastic Standingfor graduation with distinction,offers the following observationson his personal experiences asexterne.-Ed.

ExterneshipOne of the most interesting and

valuable phases of the Des MoinesStill College curriculum has beenthe externeship, established as apart of the Senior students'schedule. Each man feels a debtof gratitude to the Des MoinesGeneral Hospital, Staff for theirpatient and diligent instructionin hospitals and hospitalization.Although the externeship doesnot supersede any phase of theCollege Clinical training (forexample, no treatment credit isgiven students while they areat the Hospital), it does con-stitute a fascinating addition.Treatment methods and care ofhospitalized patients, impractic-able in the College Clinic are ex-plained, and carried out by ex-ternes during their two weeks ofhospital instruction. The train.ing gives a breadth of scope andcompleteness to the studenttraining which instills in himself-confidence, familiarity withotherwise foreign, but routinecare of hospitalized cases. Closeacquaintance with special modali-ties of diagnosis and therapeusis,such as X-ray, diathermy, intra-venous injections, special labora-tory procedures, surgery, anes-thesia, postoperative care, use ofhospital charts, transportation ofbed-ridden patients, are but partof the externe's program.

CorrelationDaily contact with the variety

of acute conditions culminatingfour years of diligent textbook,laboratory and clinical trainingvitalize the practice and modusoperandi of the general practi-tioner. Repeated observation ofsymptoms, diagnostic methodsand therapeutic measures asdescribed in textbooks, or withvariations demanded by peculari-ties of the case, make a lastingand indelible impression on the

consciousness of a senior student.The externeship provides a grandopportunity for correlation, com-parison and correction of ideasgleaned from an incomplete, ifnot impersonal, study of the prob-lems of 'a physician. I expressthe appreciation and gratitudefor all the Des Moines Graduateswho have gone before me for thisopportunity to fill in the gaps ofour osteopathic education.

PreparationIncreasingly larger numbers of

Des Moines graduates accept in-terneships upon receiving theirD.O. degree. The Des MoinesGeneral Externeship should raisethis proportion even higher, forcompulsory hospital trainingmakes clear the virtually unlimit-ed advantages which can bederived from graduate study. Notonly does it make a student moreeager for interne's training, butalso it prepares: him for many ofthe tasks which will face himduring interneship. Although theschedule at the Des Moines Gen-eral for externes is rigorous, itis not a sacrifice on the part ofthe student. It is a real privilege.

RoutineThe student reports for duty

at 6:30 a.m. and is received bythe head of the externe com-mittee. He takes breakfast in theStaff dining room with othermembers of the staff, and follow-ing breakfast discusses with thestaff the program of the day. Atypical day might include thefollowing duties. Transfer ofpatients to and from surgery andobservation of all surgery per-formed. The externe accompaniesthe interne in charge of post-operative care and observes thetechnic of administration of in-travenous or other postoperativetherapy. Attention is called, dur-ing morning or afternon, to emer-gencies as they arrive. Such casesmight include orthopedic problems, x-ray, minor surgery, re-pair of superficial accident in-juries and obstetrical deliveries.

Externes have lunch with thestaff at noon, enjoy a round-tablediscussion of current topics andreceive instruction on the after-noon program. Each man has alist of patients with instructionregarding the extent and type ofosteopathic treatment which eachis to receive. Question regard-ing specific techniques aregraciously answered by staffmembers.

At intervals during the daywhen the externe's time may befree the chairman of the externecommittee or the internes givedetailed instruction about con-struction and operational detailsof special equipment, suturing,medical agents and their use orlaboratory procedures. Theaverage day ends between 5:00and 6:00 p.m.

Each day is different from theothers. Each day new experiencesare crowded into the pattern ofthe student's education. Eachday the student feels better pre-pared, more useful, moreprivileged that he is to be a DesMoines graduate.

Dr. Sonesen EntersPerry Practice

Dr. Marshall Sonesen, HousePhysician at the Des Moines Gen-eral Hospital for the past year,has entered practice in Perry,Iowa, with Dr. Hannan, Secretaryof the Iowa Osteopathic Ex-amining Board.

Dr. Sonesen is a graduate ofthe Chicago College of Osteo-pathy, class of June, 1941. He wasselected for the Des Moines Gen-eral interneship for his outstand-ing scholarship, professional bear-ing and keen interest in thescience of Osteopathy. His in-terneship, beginning February,1942, included a wide filed of hos-pital duties. With the establish-ment of externeships at the Col-lege, Dr. Sonesen was appoint-ed instructor for the seniors. Hispatience and painstaking carewith the successive groups earn-ed for him a host of loyal friendsamong the recent graduates.

Upon completion of his interne-ship in February, 1943, Dr. Sone-sen was appointed House Phy-sician at the Hospital. He hasbeen released from this post inorder that he may begin practicein Perry. Best wishes for con-tinued success in his location areextended by the LOG BOOK forthe Hospital and College Staffs,

*as well as for the recent alumniwho have been his proteges dur-ing externeship.

A Dangerous Philosophy

The OSTEOPATHIC PROFES-SION for January, 1944, carriesa vital reminder to OsteopathicPhysicians in the way of an arti-cle under the above title by Dr.Charles H. Kauffman of Danbury,Connecticut.

Dr. Kauffman states that"there is a dangerous philo-sophical conception which is eat-ing away at our osteopathicfoundations and which willdestroy our identity, ruin our colleges and make futile the effortsof many years.

"It is the conception of thetwo professions (osteopathic andmedical) getting together on abroad ' platform for p u b li chealth. .. "

Dr. Kauffman has succinctlystated a problem which is facingthe osteopathic profession of to-day and needs urgent attention.Unfortunately it is not a problemwhich can be handled by a"board" or a "committee'". Itmust be met by every osteopathicphysician worthy of the degreeD.O. The solution of the prob-lem involves a thorough compre-hension of the osteopathic prin-ciple, osteopathic philosophy andthe application of osteopathictechnique.

Underlying the whole osteo-pathic philosophy is the under-standing of the factors whichpromote health in order thatdeviations from the normal condi-tion may be remedied by correc-tion-not by removal or desben-sitization. Osteopathic principlecontends that the body can, ifgiven the opportunity, protect it-self against biological, physicalor chemical enemies. It is theduty of the osteopathic physicianto aid the body in this fight-notto hinder it by masking its ownabilities behind a screen offoreign chemicals.

Dr. Kauffman uses a- term forsuch an approach to treatmentwhich is striking in its simplicityand accuracy. Those who re-sort to chemoterapy before it isurgently necessary, or becausethey through their negligencefmake it necessary, are designated"health morticians." He con-tinues, "the glamor of relievingpain with a hypodermic or withlast minute surgery seems to out-shine the patient, nonspectacularwork of the osteopathic physicianwho is ever alert to see where he,can, by remedying a mechanicaldefect, prevent the ill of man-kind from reaching the sulpha orsurgical stage."

"We offer a reprieve to ailinghumanity. However, if called toolate, we might utilize the methodof a health mortician. Our pro-fessional weakness is that we areapt to develop the mental pro-cesses of a health mortician. Nophysician would go into partner-ship with an undertaker. Theposition of one who would re-main a member of the osteo-pathic profession and at the sametime be a, health mortician isequally incongruous."

Two Young SailorsLook to the Future

Dr. J. P. Schwartz, Pres.Des Moines Still CollegeDes Moines, IowaMy dear doctor:

We were pretty small thelast time you saw us. How-ever, we have grown toman size. And we desire tofollow Dad's footsteps.

We have completed pre-medicine at Bates College,Lewiston, Maine, lackingorganic chemistry. Thiscredit will be completed atthe time of my dischargefrom the Navy. Considermy brother and I registeredas soon as the War is over,as freshmen at Still College.My brother has take identical courses.

The Overall CampaignPresident Walter E. Bailey has

called a special emergency meet-ing of all divisional societies of-the Osteopathic Profession forFebruary 18-20. Many topics ofvital importance to the profes-sion will be discussed by the pro

ofessional leaders.' All these prob-lems have a direct bearing on thevital and immediate importanceof the National Overall Cam-paign in charge of Dr. Tilley andhis committeemen.

The very fact that Dr. Baileyhas seen fit to call this nationalconference is evidence of theurgent necessity for supportingthe National Campaign. If youhave neglected to contribute tothe individual College campaignsthus far conducted, seize uponthis opportunity - the NationalOverall Campaign - to makeamends for your previous negli-gence.

Bear in mind that the Osteo-pathic Profession is going for-ward rapidly. It has made itsmost recent strides with yourfinancial and spiritual aid. Theprogress thus far made is an indication of what can be donewith your continued support. Givenow to the Overall Campaign.

Until that day shall come whenthe Osteopathic institutions re-ceive State financial support it isgoing to be the burden of theOsteopathic Profession to carrythese institutions forward. Thepublic, will not build up decrepitinstitutions, but it will readilysupport progressive concerns. Putyourself into the position for con-tinuing, public aid. Give Now.

In the January issues of the LOGBOOK the suggestion was madethat $100 a year clubs be formedby alumni throughout the coun-try for the Des Moines College.We reiterate that request. Or-ganize now for the future. Sudhorganization, should, in fact in-crease tremendously the returnsfrom the nationally sponsoreddrive.

Remelnber! Organize Now andset for yourself a project - aproject of Osteopathic advance-ment.

The alumni must continue theOsteopathic advancements whichhave led, within the past year, tofederal appropriations for navaland U. S. Public Health ServiceCommissions, favorable SelectiveService Bulletins, inclusion in thefederal-movement for care of serv-ice men's wives and favorablestate legislation.

Lt. Gurka Reports onVaried Army Duties

Lt. J. Philip Gurka, graduateof the Des Moines College in1939, removed from the combatarea in Sicily to an unnamedEnglish town tells of a greatvariety of interesting new re-sponsibilities. He is prosecutingattorney on a Court MartialBoard and is also called upon toinvestigate prospective wives ofmen in his regiment. Of threesuch cases, thus far investigated,circumstances pertinent to twoprevented the marriage. Lt.Gurka continues, "My latest andbest job is Acting Physician,when the two staff doctors areunavailable." Mute, if not stated,approval has been given for Osteo-pathic methods of care by thestaff physicians and the Regi-mental Commander. (Lt. Gurkaconfides, perhaps with his tonguein his cheek, that he has hadresponsibility for the care of theRegimental Commander!)

Among the most interestingfeatures of Dr. Gurka's letter(to Mrs. K. M. Robinson) wasthe statement that he had writ-ten a letter reprimanding his representative at home for failure tosupport one of the OsteopathicBills before Congress. (Howmany of our readers at homefound themselves too busy to dolikewise!). He received a cour-teous reply indicating a desire toknow more about Osteopathy.Needless to add, Lt. Gurka ishaving his representative's educa-tion improved with the assistanceof the central office of theA.O.A.

There is a vital lesson demon-strated in the interest which Dr.Gurka has thus demonstrated inhis profession. If all OsteopathicPhysicians were as keenly en-thusiastic about osteopathie progress as this man at the fightingfront, Dr. Gurka and the host ofother D.O.'s and students wouldcertainly return to a stronger andsounder Osteopathic Profession.

Correction

Dr. K. B. Riggle (stated in theJanuary LOG BOOK to have re-ceived his license to practiceOsteopathy) has completed re-quirements for his surgery license.

Dr. Riggle has entered practice,following a year's surgical as-sistantship with Dr. Graney, inthe office of Dr. Dan Toriello andDr. Robert Hatchitt, LibertyBuilding, Des Moines.Dr. Hatchitt plans to open officeson the Des Moines east side laterin the spring.

professional training and skill to use in the best interest of thenation. Accordingly, following graduation in most of these pro-fessional fields or following an interneship, a registrant should beconsidered for further occupational deferment for a period not toexceed 30 days, in order that he may have an opportunity to en-gage in his profession in war production or in support of the wareffort. Persons graduating in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medi-cine, or osteopathy are required to pass a State examination beforethey will be licensed to practice their profession and, accordingly,to permit the completion of such examination registrants who aregraduates in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and osteo-pathy should be considered for further occupational deferment fora period of not to exceed 60 days following their graduation. Con-sideration for further occupational deferment, as provided above,should be given following graduation or completion of interne-ship, or in case of persons graduating in medicine, dentistry, veterinarymedicine or osteopathy, after the taking of the State examination,only if during such period the registrant is making an honest anddiligent effort to become engaged in his profession in war produc-tion or in support of the war effort.E. Determination and iCertification of Quotas:

2. STUDENT QUOTA PREPROFESSIONAL FIELDS.-A nationalquota has been established for students who may be occupationally de-ferred at any one time by reason of pursuing course of studyin premedicine, predentistry, preveterinary medicine, preosteopathy,and pretheology. This quota provides:

(a) That the total number of preprofessional students, oc-cupationally deferred at any one time does not exceed 50percent of the total average number of students in schoolsof medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, osteopathy, ortheology, respectively, in the years 1938-39 and 1939-40, and

(b) The total number of students occupationally deferred atany one time who have been accepted for admission bysuch school does not exceed that part of the capacity ofsuch school available for civilian students *in the enteringclasses for which such students have been accepted.

3. FUNCTION OF THE NATIONAL ROSTER. The NationalRoster of Scientific and Specialized Personnel of the War ManpowerCommission will certify to requests for occupational deferment ofstudents under this bulletin as follows:

(b) Request for occupational deferment of a registrant in .. . premedicine, predentistry, preveterinary medicine, pre-

Drs. Deitrich, Clark onIowa Academy Program

Dr. L. A. Deitrieh, AssistantProfessor of Therapeutics, and Dr.Hugh Clark, Professor of Phys-iology, will present papers in midApril on the program of the IowaAcademy of Science. The meet-ings are held annually at a Col-lege within the state, and areattended by representative menof the several branches of sciencefrom the colleges and otherlaboratories of Iowa. The sessionfor 1944 will be held in CedarFalls, Iowa.

Dr. Deitrich will present acritique of the behavior ofcerebrospinal fluid with practicalconsiderations. Dr. Clark will re-port on an embryological prob-lem, particularly with referenceto the embryological approach tointerrelationships between ani-mals.

The Executive Committee ofthe Des Moines Still CollegeOsteopathic Foundation met onFriday night and unanimouslyfavored immediate construction ofthe teaching clinical hospital.Earliest date feasible, allowingfor necessary preparation for thegigantic task, is June. The Com-mittee, consisting of Mr. J. J. New-lin, President; Dr. Ruth Paul,Secretary; Mr. Nelse Hansen,Treasurer; Dr. Paul Park and Dr.J. P. Schwartz, President of theDes Moines Still College, au-thorized Wetherell and Harrison,Architects, to proceed with con-structional details of the project.

Hospital PurposeThe Hospital is designed for

instruction of approximately 75upper class students of the col-lege in the course of their under-graduate curriculum, and ap-proximately 50 graduate studentsseeking training in specializedfields. Throughout both dream-ing and planning of the Hospital,the Foundation has been alert tothe necessity of instruction ofgraduates. Graduate instructionwill not be limited to surgeryalone, but will include Obstetrics,Gynecology, Proctology, Oph-thalmology and Optometry, Oto-laryngology, Laboratory Diagno-sis, Roentgenology, Manipulativeand Operative Orthopedics andPre-and postoperative care of theSurgical Patient.

It is the intention of theFoundation that the Hospital be

staffed by the most talented menwhich can be secured from theProfession. It is their further in-tention that, insofar as possiblethe alumni be repaid in profes-sional training for the splendidsupport which has come fromthem for the Osteopathic Prog-ress Fund. The need for thisCollege service to alumni haslong been recognized; the meansfor extending the service werenot available.

At the outset, the hospital willconsist of approximately 50teaching beds and 25 private beds.Provision is made in' architecturalplanning for expansion as needsdemand at a later date. Thepresent space available for Hos-pital construction is on Sixth Ave.,a half-block north of the College.Hospital site has a frontage of193 feet on Sixth Avenue and adepth of 137 feet. (For com-parison, it is roughly five timesthe size of the present Collegebuilding.)

ClinicSince the present College build-

ing is overcrowded and space isnot available for the size anddiversity of the Clinic desired, itis proposed to include the dlinicin the Hospital Building. Thataim will thus release badly need-ed space in the College Buildingand will virtually segregate theupper class instruction from thatin the first two and one-halfyears. With the transfer of theCollege Clinic to the Hospital

building, it is suggested also thatthe Department of LaboratoryDiagnosis be incorporated in that

Dr. J. P. Schwartz, Pres.Des Moines Still CollegeDes Moines, Iowa

Dear Dr. Schwartz:Some time ago Psi Sigma

Alpha Beta Chapter there re-quested contributions to thehospital building fund. Atthat time necessary expensesconsumed the small internsalary. However, some timeago I sold a pint of blood tothe hospital for $25.00 andam enclosing herewith thecash.

It's not much I know incomparison to what othersare giving, but it really is inrelation to my financial earn-ing capacity at this time.

It is interesting to knowthe Iowa Osteopathic Pro-gram is taking good stridesforward.

building also, in order to avoidduplication of expensive equip-ment.

The Clinics will be expanded inthe amount and variety of serv-ices offered in the new location.It is planned to include, in therevised clinical plan, facilities fordiagnosis and treatment in thefollowing specialties: Obstetrics,Gynecology, Proctology, Ortho-pedics, X-ray, Venereal Diseases,Nervous and Mental Diseases,Speech Correction, Cardiology,Geriatrics, Tuberculosis, Cancerand Postural Deformities. Spe-cialists in all these fields, bring-ing to the Clinics the best andmost recent in treatment anddiagnosis, will be OsteopathicPhysicians. Cognizant of thedangers of over specialization, theFoundation is insistent uponutilization of Osteopathic methodsand philosophy, regardless of thenature of the disease. Clinicaland Hospital staffs will be select-ed on the basis of special abilities,teaching abilities and abilities toutilize osteopathic methods andconcepts in diagnosis and treat-ment of disease.

Over-all PlanVisualization of the College

future on the basis of improve-ments completed, those plannedfor the immediate future andthose projected as a goal, aimstoward the establishment of theDes Moines Still College as aleading medical center in theMiddle West. The College in-structional staff must be approxi-mately doubled, exclusive of Hos-pital personnel, in order thathighly trained men will be avail-able for instruction, and also toprovide each man with sufficienttime to accomplish the much dis-cussed osteopathic re s e ar ch.There can be no question thatsuch a plan must eventually beput in force. There is a scarcityof investigative work from Osteo-pathic Colleges, and there arevirtually no up-to-date textbooksfor osteopathic instruction. Thereare no treastises in either basicsciences or clinical application,written from an osteopathic view-point, which are used as stand-ard texts. These faults can becorrected but only by securing astaff large enough that each manwill have time free of instruction-al duties sufficient to promote hisspecial interests.

Clinical data resulting fromosteopathic care of a greatvariety of diseases must be ac-cumulated and assembled. Thesethings can be done only when theclinical staff is large enough toenable the staff members to or-ganize these items.

The Hospital must be organizedand a staff created such that itcan offer to graduates, as well asundergraduates, the best in spe-

Dr. Laycock Active inProfessional Meetings

Dr. Byron E. Laycock, Profes-sor of Osteopathic Principles andTechnique at the Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy, has beenappointed by Dr. J. K. Johnson,

Dr. Byron E. Laycock

Jr., Program Chairman, to headthe Section on Technique at theannual War Health Conferenceof the State Society of Osteo-pathic Physicians and Surgeons.The meeting of the State Societywill be held in May, and moredetails of the meetings will begiven in the April issue of theLOG BO(K.

Dr. Laycock will also appear onthe program of the Child'sHealth Conference in KansasCity, April 12-15. Topics for Dr.Laycock's presentations in Kan-sas City have not been an-nounced.

The Polk County (Iowa) So-ciety was so enthusiastic aboutProf. Laycock's discussion of"Chronaxie and Rheobase in theLesion Area," that he has beenrequested to appear again, for thesecond time within a year. Hewill address that Society inApril.

cialized, as well as general hos-pital training.

These goals are within easyreach, if the Osteopathic Profes-sion, the alumni of the DesMoines Still College, want them.They cannot come tomorrow,they must be patiently plannedand loyally executed. Responseto the College campaign and tothe Over-all campaign gives everyindication that these projects canbe completed in a matter of a fewyears. Every member of theOsteopathic Profession must, how-ever, sincerely want to producea center of learning, with hisAlma Mater as nucleus. Everyone must be vitally concernedabout the future of his Profes-sion, of his College, of himself.

Emergency Conference Great Success

Dr. Johnson OrganizesFor Iowa Campaign

Dr. J. K. Johnson, Jr., of Jeffer-son Director of the Iowa Pro-gram of the Over-all Campaign,has announced his districtcaptains who will act as aids inbringing the Over-all Campaignto a successful completion.

District Captains for Iowa areas follows:

No. 1. Dr. Byron Wayland,Cedar Rapids

No. 3. Not appointedNo. 4. Dr. Alan NelsonNo. 5. Dr. Harold Summers,

quist, Des MoinesDr. Johnson called a meeting of

these workers for Sunday, March5, at the Hotel Fort Des Moinesin Des Moines. The meeting wasattended also by Dr. Mary E.Golden, President of the IowaSociety and Chairman of theCampaign Committee of the DesMoines Still College OsteopathicFoundation, and by Mr. DwightS. James, Secretary of the IowaSociety. The duties of the cam-paign workers were pointed out,and each District Captain feltenthusiastic in this new project.The group feels that the Over-all Campaign will not be easyfrom the point of transportation,but feels that the Iowa professionis sufficiently aware of thedangers of procrastination andnegligence that they will support,to a man, the A.O.A. effort to aidthe Colleges and therefore theprofession.

Why an Over-all CampaignThe Over-all Campaign, carried

out through State Directors andthe organizations of the divisionalsocieties, is intended to reachevery physician, acquaint himwith the facts of professionalneed and allow him to participatein the educational progress whichis sweeping the Osteopathic Pro-fession throughout the country.

You may contribute to the Col-lege of your choice or to theOver-all Fund which will bedivided equally among the Col-leges. Be certain that you havedone your utmost for the planyou think best.

New Policy InitiatedIn Faculty Meetings

In addition to the discussion ofroutine business during the facultymeetings, an innovation will bemade in the March meeting. Fol-lowing the business meeting, eachmeeting beginning with March,and continuing monthly thereafterwill include the presentation of ascientific paper by a facultymember.

Chairmen AppointedThroughout Nation

The Emergency Conference,called in Chicago, February 18-20,by President Walter E. Baileywas generally regarded as anoverwhelming success. It was at-tended by more than 200 staterepresentatives from all parts ofthe country who entered en-thusiastically into the proceed-ings.

LegislationFollowing the call to order by

A.O.A. President Bailey, discus-sions in the three day meetingscovered the situation of the pro-fession with regard to both Stateand Federal legislation regardingCollege standards, practice rightsand selective service. Reports ofDr. Chester Swope and Mr.Lawrence Gourley, Counsel forthe National Society, presentedthe picture seriously but notgravely. The profession is mak-ing tremendous strides in thematter of recognition, but prog-ress must continue in order tosave the ground thus far gained.Support of the Over-all Cam-paign is the most expedient meth-od of protecting the professionfor the present.

Dr. Thomas Wood was incharge of the legislative sessionwhich also heard an excellent re-port by Dr. James Watson ofOhio on State law, practice rights,state "inspections" and like mat-ters of immediate pertinence tothe Osteopathic Colleges, Nation-al and State organizations andevery Osteopathic Physician.

The Tinme Is NowMr. Harry E. Caylor, Counsel-

lor to the A.O.A. in the all-out,Over-all Campaign, brought be-fore the delegates in most strik-ing fashion the urgency for com-plete cooperation by every D.O.Participation in the campaignmust be unanimous, contributionsmust be generous. The stakes forthe present effort are high; it re-quires the complete and unselfishsupport of every man who callshimself D.O. The goal for thecampaign is $1,657,900.00; of thisamount approximately $625,000.00has been subscribed. Roughly,one Million Dollars is yet need-ed to satisfy the most pressingdemands upon the Colleges. Letevery Osteopathic Physician,therefore, consult with his con-science and then dig deep; thosewho have previously contributedmust reconsider and decidewhether it is not possible to givemore. (Ed. Note-Doctors, thisis not pressure propaganda; theurgency is genuine.)

$100-a-Year Club

Your editor was recently asked,"What is this $100-a-year Club?"

Simply stated, the $100-a-yearClub is an organization designedto enlist the needed support ofalumni of Des Moines Still Col-lege of Osteopathy and friendsof the College.

"But why is it necessary tohave a $100-a-year Club aftercontributing to the OsteopathicProgress Fund?" The expansionprogram of the College and pro-ceeds from the National (Over-all) Campaign, operating throughthe state societies, have

1. Extended the College cur-riculum,

2. Enlarged the College Staff,3. Increased library facilities,4. Added new equipment to the

laboratories and clinics,

5. Provided for a new and en-larged Clinic,

6. Forced the issue of the long-awaited Hospital.

The increased demands on theCollege budget will be approxi-mately $40,000 (unofficial, editor'sestimate). Added revenue cancome from of three sources: Stu-dent tuition (now, $300), patients(and a teaching hospital andclinic must necessarily serveprimarily low income families),or alumni. Each of these groupswill do its share. It will be notedthat two sources of revenue areexcluded- public support (stateor federal) and private, lay con-tributions to the Foundation.These are excluded for the simplereason that we cannot "count ourchickens before they are hatch-ed." It is not unlikely that fundsfrom one or both of these sourceswill come, but it is essential thatthe initial support for expansionand maintenance come from theprofession. The public will sup-port a growing, going organiza-tion; it rarely will aid in theestablishment of the organization.In spite of our 46 years of age,we are now building, now grow-ing, now setting our standards forpublic approval.

If the brunt of the burden ofthe self-imposed budget increaseis to be borne by alumni, it ob-viously means that the minimummembership must be 400. That isfor maintenance only. If alumniseek expansion of the clinics, ofthe hospital, of research, the mem-bership must be accordinglyhigher. Basically the questiondevolves into this, Are you per-

sonally interested in maintaininga standard of didactic, lecture andclinical instruction in your col-lege, which shall be approximate-ly equivalent to that of Grade Amedical schools?"

"What does this have to dowith the Foundation?" TheFoundation is bound to supportthe Des Moines Still College,clinical hospital, accessory build-ings and interests. Funds of the$100-a-year Club therefore wouldgo to the treasury of the Founda-tion. Because of the nature ofthe Foundation, funds donated toit may be earmarked for specialprojects in which the donors maybe interested.

"What is the relationship to theStill College 'Club," The Still Col-lege Club, a $1-a-month Club,was organized by the Public Re-lations Committee of the NationalAlumni Association. In order toavoid duplication of effort, sta-tionery and officers, it has beensuggested that the Still CollegeClub be used for the organiza-tion of the $100-a-year Club. (Areport of the activities of the StillCollege Club to date will be foundon this page.)

'The foregoing has been intend-ed as a means of acquaintance ofthe alumni with problems of theirCollege. Inquiries and reactionswill be appreciated.

SCHICK

(Continued from Page 1)has been responsible for coursesin Mammalian Anatomy, Princi-ples of Physiology, ComparativePhysiology and Physiology ofExercise.

ResearchDr. Schick's principal research

interests have been in the fieldof Endocrines and Reproduction,such as vaginal, abdominal andmammary gland changes duringpregnancy. He proposes to con-tinue this work in his new as-sociation with the Des MoinesStill College of Osteopathy.

TeachingDr. Schick has, in addition to

a practical ability in investigativework, an ardent interest in teach-ing. He is a student of teach-ing and teaching methods, andhas given a good portion of histime to the creation of visual aidsin teaching. (It was Dr. Schickwho created the MechanicalDemonstrator for showing inter-relationships between hormones ofreproduction during the men-strual and pregnancy cycles. Thismachine has been exhibited wide-ly at scientific meetings includingthe A.O.A. convention at St.Louis.) He also has made manyclay and plaster models for thedemonstration of anatomicalstructures and physiological unitsof larger organs.

Dr. Schick will head the De-partment of Physiology, replac-ing in that capacity, Dr. HughClark who has been Chairman ofthe Physiology Department since1939. His duties will include bothlecture and laboratory work. Hehas already made preparationsfor enlarging the course and forthe addition of equipment, bothstandard equipment for routinelaboratory work and specialequipment of his own devising fordemonstrations and research. Be-sides a deep-seated interest inPhysiology, his specialty, Dr.Schick has also a cordial respectfor the principles and philosophyof Osteopathy.

Professional AssociationsFor Dr. Schick's keen apprecia-

tion of biological problems hewas elected to Phi Sigma, hon-orary biological society, andmaintains active membership inthat group. He is also a memberof the select honorary, scientificsociety, Sigma Xi, to which hewas admitted for his investiga-tions on reproductive phenomena.Needless to add he is also amember of the Oklahoma andMichigan Academies of Science.

The Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy is extremely fortu-nate in securing the valuableservices of Dr. Schick for itsBasic Science work. The LOGBOOK, speaking for the admini-stration and faculty, extends toDr. Schick and his family a mostcordial welcome to Des Moines.

WPB Releases PencillinFor Few Sulfa-Resistant

Venereal Cases

In the interest of preventionof venereal disease by treatmentof sulfa resistant gonorrheapatients, who may act as carriersof the disease, the WPB has re-leased a limited amount of pen-icillin for civilian use throughU. S. Public Health Service.

Three penicillin stations havebeen established in Iowa MercyHospital in Sioux City, Broad-lawns General Hospital in DesMoines and University Hospital inIowa City. Application for peni-cillin administration should bemade to directors of these in-stitutions.

Treatment provided is free forcases accepted. However it isemphasized that only a limitednumber of cases can be accepted.In those instances where thedrug has been used it has provedhighly successful. Supplies ofpenicillin and its administrationare made available through theLanham fund.

Dr. Arthur D. Becker Receives Honorary Degree

Dr. Becker receiving Degree Doctor of Science in Osteopathy fromC.O.P.S. President Henley, as Dr. Louis D. Chandler, who spon-

sored Dr. Becker, looks on.

Circumstances surrounding thesignal honor which came to Dr.Becker, former president of theDes Moines Still College of Osteo-pathy, are related by Dr. H. E.Litton in the March issue ofCLINICAL OSTEOPATHY.

"Dr. Arthur D. Becker, the firstof the annual Still Lecturers tobe called to the C.O.P.S. campus,was singularly honored and sur-prised-on the occasion of thebanquet given February twenty-fourth marking the end of thePost-Graduate Class in surgery.Without being forewarned ofwhat was about to take place,Dr. W. Ballentine Henley, Presi-dent of the College, conferredupon Dr. Becker the honorarydegree Doctor of Science inOsteopathy. Taken completely bysurprise, for once Dr. Becker wasspeechless.

"Certainly there is no person inthe osteopathic profession moreworthy of such a degree as fewhave rendered such valiant serv-ice in osteopathic educations ashas Dr. Becker. Originallygraduating from the S. S. StillCollege, in Des Moines, in 1903and later from the AmericanSchool of Osteopathy in 1909, Dr.

Becker put osteopathy to thetest of general practice first inPreston, Minn., and later inMinneapolis. In 1922, he wascalled to Kirksville to be Deanof the Andrew T. Still College ofOsteopathy and Surgery, con-tinuing in that capacity after thatschool and the old A.S.O. werecombined in 1924 to form thepresent Kirksville College.

"Except for a few years spentin practice in Seattle, Dr. Beckercontinued his teaching work atKirksville until 1936 when hebecame president of the DesMoines Still College from whichposition he retired two years ago.It would be difficult to evaluatehis imprint upon Osteopathy asthousands of osteopaths havelearned their osteopathic princi-ples from Dr. Becker. In 1941,he was President of the AmericanOsteopathic Association, whichposition he filled with dignity andability .. ."

The Des Moines Still College isjustly proud of this honor whichhas come to it through one of itsmost distinguished alumni andformer president, Dr. Arthur D.Becker.

Dr. Blackwood PledgesUrology Equipment

Dr. W. D. Blackwood of Harts-horne, Oklahoma, who had pre-viously made a substanial pledgeto support osteopathic progress,writes of extending that support.Dr. Blackwood is sufficiently im-pressed with the need for uro-logical training and -the im-portance of Urology in diagnosisthat he says, "I will, in additionto my previous contributions,make a substantial contributiontoward the purchase or furnish-ing of equipment for this depart-ment (Urology), if and whenthe department is established andspace available."

The College appreciates theperspicacity of Dr. Blackwoodin emphasizing this field ofspecialization, and sincerely ap-preciates his pledge to put hisconvictions into practice.

(It will be recalled by read-ers of the LOG BOOK that Dr.James E. Dunham of Mansfield,Ohio, pledged a department ofOtolaryngology. The college isgenuinely grateful to its alumnifor this progressive spirit in theexpansion of the teachingClinical Hospital.)

Foundation PurchasesAdditional 6th Ave. Lots

Mr. Nelse Hansen, Treasurerof the Des Moines Still CollegeOsteopathic Foundation, was suc-cessful in obtaining three lotsadjacent to former holdings inthe 800 block on Sixth Avenue inDes Moines. The Foundationnow has title to approximately a300 foot frontage on SixthAvenue, ample for the needs ofthe teaching clinical hospital andaffiliated units.

Mr. Hansen deserves a greatdeal of personal commendationfor his successful efforts in ac-quiring this property.

Mrs. Elmets DonatesTo Progress Fund

Mrs. Will Elmets of DesMoines, desirous of furthering thecause of osteopathic educationand equipment of the Des MoinesCollege, presented a check for$100 to Dr. J. P. Schwartz.

Since the campaign has notbeen extended to the laity, Mrs.Elmets' interest in osteopathicdevelopment is particularly note-worthy.

One Treatment a Week?

If the average physician wereapproached with the question,"Would your standard of livingbe impaired if' you gave onetreatment less per week?", hewould unhesitatingly say no. Toput the question a different way,how many physicians can tellwithin 20% the number of treat-ments they gave in the past week.There can be no question thatthe average Osteopathic Physicianwould not suffer if his incomewere reduced by the amount ofthe fee for one treatment perweek.

Why, then, not put that fee be-hind osteopathic progress. Avery simple calculation will tellthe reader that we are againtalking about the $100-a-yearClub. At first glance, the term$100-a-year Club means a checkfor $100. Upon reflection it meansthat alumni who have, perhaps,already contributed heavily to theOsteopathic Progress Fund areasked to contribute again. Uponfurther reflection it means simplythat alumni are asked to con-tinue to support the OsteopathicProgress which they have in-augurated by a scheme of sys-tematic contribution.

It has been necessary to in-crease the budget of the Collegein accordance with the educationalprogress desired. The budget in-crease has come at a time ofdwindling enrollment in the Col-lege. Help must come from somesource. Are we justified in ask-ing the alumni to give this help?The alumni can best answer thisquestion themselves. In theOsteopathic Profession of suf-ficient personal value to them toavert professional crisis by verymoderate, but systematic dona-tions? Is the development of theschool and its continued pro-gressive role in the field of Osteo-pathic education of value to theProfession, as a whole? ShouldOsteopathic Progress continue(can it be stopped!)?

The answers to these questionsare obvious, but they need thewritten support of every alumnusof the Des Moines Still College.

Marriage

Miss Winifred G. Powell, daug-ter of Dr. and Mrs. Thomas B.Powell of Lamed, Kansas, wasmarried on March 12, 1944, toDr. John R. Stanfield. The wed-ding took place at home in Lewis,Kansas.

Dr. Wilbur BohmPresents Research

Opus to Library

Dr. Wilbur Bohm, Departmentof Physical Education and Ath-letics of the State College ofWashington, presented to the Col-lege Library a copy of an ex-haustive treatise on "TRAININGAND CONDITIONING PRAC-TICES OF COLLEGE ANDUNIVERSITY BASKE T B A L LCOACHES AND TRAINERS."

Dr. Bohm has done a pains-taking and masterfully compiledinvestigation on the topic above,principally through the use ofquestionnaires. His survey coversthe fields of diet, methods ofpreparation of food for athletes,period of training previous to theathletic season, length of work-outs, number of workouts perweek, shower temperature, mas-sage, treatment of pulled musclesand other soft tissue injuries,type of therapy used and lengthof time of application of severaltherapeutic measures.

Dr. Bohm is recognized amongboth osteopathic and collegiateathletic colleagues as a leader inthe field of investigation in train-ing methods. The College libraryis grateful to Dr. Bohm for aninscribed copy of his report ontraining methods and techniques.

Dr. Deitrich Reports onCerebrospinal Fluid

During the past month Dr.L. A. Deitrich, Professor ofOsteopathic Therapeutics, pre-sented a report to the faculty ofthe College and to the IowaAcademy of Science on thephysiology of the CerebrospinalFluid.

The former paper was a de-tailed review of cranial mor-phology and functions of thecerebrospinal fluid. The latterwas a preliminary report of ex-perimental work, in which Dr.Deitrich pointed out variationsin cerebrospinal fluid pressure de-pendent upon f atigue, respira-tion, position of the body andother factors. Investigations con-tinue on this problem.

Installation of Lab.Furniture Completed;

Visitors Impressed

After a four months siege ofremodeling and reequipping of thelaboratories, heckled by govern-ment regulations, shortage of ma-terials and labor, the laboratoriesare now completed.

The alumni have contributedheavily toward this phase of Col-lege improvement and photo-graphs of the completed roomswill be available shortly. Somewill be published in the nextissue of the LOG BOOK. Otherswill be on display at several stateconventions as well as the Na-tional War Service Conference.Alumni should make an effort tosee, at least photographically,what has been accomplished.

Comment on the improvementsfrom alumni who have returnedto Des Moines have been unani-mously favorable. Dr. HowardSporck of West Virginia feltthat he could report to his StateConvention that the "money iscertainly well spent." Dr. ChaseMathews of Detroit was mostenthusiastic about developmentsin the College and was of theopinion that continued alumnisupport would be forthcoming ifalumni could see what was beingdone. Dr. Hilden Blohm and Dr.Glenn Munger, both of Mich., weredeeply impressed by the educa-tional progress of the institutionin the relatively short time sincethey were graduated. Dr. Ken-neth Dirlam of Massena, Iowa,who had returned to Des Moineson business was astounded at theprogram of modernization. Dr.Eddie Kanter and Dr. Sydney F.Ellias of Detroit passed bouquetsliberally on the new floor planfor the laboratories as well asfor the equipment installed. Dr.Bertrand Adams, returning homeafter completing a Detroit in-terneship was delighted with boththe beauty and utility of the im-provements.

There is little question in theminds of visitors who have in-spected the rejuvenated Collegeabout the validity of a $100-a-year Club. The College has

Can You Travel Conscientiously?

Travelling for pleasure is OUT, but travelling to secureeducation which may help you better to care for industrialwar workers and others on the home front is ESSENTIAL.Aside from this general understanding of the necessity forprofessional meetings and the travel incident thereto, in asurvey made by the International Association of Conven-tion Bureaus, covering key cities of the country, it wasrevealed that convention travel constitutes only one-fifth ofone per cent of all travel.

You may therefore travel conscientiously to and fromChicago to attend the War Service Conference at the PalmerHouse, July 14 to 18 inclusive. But you must make yourhotel reservations right now, and secure travel accomoda-tions as soon as possible, which in most instances is thirtydays before the date you expect to leave.

Dr. Jack Price, 1943 graduatereports that he has opened asmall hospital, "Price Hospital"in Hobbs, New Mexico. Dr. Pricereports very enthusiasticallyabout Osteopathy in New Mexico,and points out two splendid open-ings in that state.

Eunice and Lovington, NewMexico, are without OsteopathicPhysicians or Medical Physiciansand a doctor in either town wouldserve a large area in a rich oilcountry.

We wish every success to Dr.Price in his new enterprise andexpress the hope that he is suc-cessful in attracting colleaguesto his state.

Seeks Replacement

Dr. D. W. Maclntire writes thathe is leaving his practice inBison, S. D., to go to another city.Since Osteopathy has been firm-ly established in this communityand the nearest doctor is 50miles away, he is anxious that arecent graduate settle in Bison.Cordial support is given by theCommercial Club of the townand practice rights are unrestrict-ed except as regards major sur-gery.

Dr. Maclntire points out thatSouth Dakota is one of fourstates which have an OsteopathicPhysician on the State Board ofHealth. Moreover, in SouthDakota "any public health pro-gram sponsored by or using pub-lic funds (Federal or State) can-not be administered in a man-ner discriminating against anyschool of practice, and grantingthe patient free choice of doctorsunder such a program."

Dr. Maclntire adds that thereare many other excellent loca-tions in western South Dakota.

Foundation ReportsCampaign Total

Figures released by Dr. MaryE. Golden, Chairman of the Cam-paign Committee of the DesMoines Still College OsteopathicFoundation, show that the totalpledged to the campaign is nowin excess of $110,000. Of thatamount $64,000 has been paid incash or in U. S. War Bonds.

Falls, Wisconsin, paid a visit tothe Des Moines College for theexpress purpose of inspecting theremodeled laboratories and thenewly installed equipment. Dr.Anderson feels that he can be-come a better salesman for DesMoines and for Osteopathy, nowthat he has seen the progress.

Confident that both the Col-lege administration and the DesMoines Still College OsteopathicFoundation have acted wisely andrapidly in the laboratory ex-pansion program, Dr. Andersonwas elated over the improvementswhich had been made. There islittle question in his mind thatthe rejuvenated Basic Science De-partments will speak for them-selves before any investigatingbody.

Mrs. Delbert Johnson, visitingfrom Seattle, acted as specialemissary for her husband to viewpersonally changes made at theCollege. Her newly formed im-pression of the present Collegepromises a glowing report to theWashington group and renewedenthusiasm for Osteopathic Prog-ress in education from that state.

Dr. Golden HonoredBy State Society

Dr. Mary E. Golden, retiringpresident of the Iowa Society ofOsteopathic Physicians and Sur-geons was presented with aplaque in honor of her two years'tenure of office in the State So-ciety.

While Dr. Golden was presi-dent of the State Society she ledthe group ably in many causesfor the benefit of the publichealth and the protection and ad-vancement of her profession. Thesociety has continued its coopera-tion with state agencies respon-sible for venereal disease controland for the control of infectiousdiseases by preventive meansamong school children. Dr. Gold-en was instrumental in acquiringRed Cross First Aid training forphysicians in Iowa and neighbor-ing states and for instituting theRed Cross program in the seniorcurriculum of the College. Asa result more than a hundredphysicians have taken the regu-lar, advanced and instructor'scourse in First Aid and havetaught probably thousands ofcivilians the elements of emer-gency protection of themselvesand fellow citizens.

Under the leadership of Dr.Golden the Iowa Physicians havecooperated in the administrationof obstetrical care for the wivesof service men and supported theappropriation bill in the U. S.Congress allowing funds for com-missions in the Navy, and U. S.Public Health Service.

Combined CurriculumPlan Adopted by

Iowa WesleyanIn a bulletin issued recently by

Iowa Wesleyan College, Mt.Pleasant, Iowa, a combined cur-riculum plan has been announcedby that institution in coopera-tion with the Osteopathic Col-leges. The bulletin describes themethod of meeting the minimumpreosteopathic requirements intwo years and the special pro-gram arranged whereby a stu-dent may take three years ofwork at Iowa Wesleyan and re-ceive a B.A. or B.Sc. degree uponsatisfactory completion of the re-quirements for a D.O. Thesebulletins are available by requestfrom the Public Relations officeof Iowa Wesleyan College.

The plan for combined cur-riculum has been studied forsome time by Dr. Niles and Dr.R. N. MacBain, President of theAmerican Association of Osteo-pathic Colleges, and Dr. R. C.McCaughan, Executive Secretaryof the A.O.A. The program asworked out to the mutual satis-faction of both groups represent-ed in the discussions is presentedin the special bulletin of IowaWesleyan.

Although such arrangementshave previously been made in thecase of individuals, Iowa Wes-leyan is the first institution whichhas openly advertised such a pro-gram for the mutual benefit ofthe liberal arts college and the

Dr. Stanley Niles VisitsDes Moines College

Dr. Stanley B. Niles, Presidentof Iowa Wesleyan College, visit-ed at length with President Clarkand Dean Owen of the DesMoines Still College of Osteo-pathy, after a sight-seeing tourthrough the building. Dr. Niles,in Des Moines on business of hisCollege, seemed well-pleased withthe physical plant of the Collegeand discussed various problemsof education, particularly of thepostwar era, with the Des MoinesCollege officers.

Iowa Wesleyan College hasbeen through the years a "pio-neer" college, and with an execu-tive such as Dr. Niles they haveadequate assurance that thisspirit will continue. It is mostpleasant from the point of viewof the osteopathic college in DesMoines to have the friendly co-operation of a sister college ofIowa.

Dr. Schwartz Resigns as President

*

Dr. J. P. Schwartz,

who resigned from

College administration,

after 25 years of serv-

ice to the College.

*

At a meeting of the Board ofTrustees of the Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy on Wednes-day evening, May 3, Dr. J. P.Schwartz offered his resignationfrom the presidency of the DesMoines College. Pressure of out-side work and necessity of afull-time man as leader of theCollege during these times ofrapid advancement were given asthe principal reasons for hisresignation at this time. In re-signing from the presidency, Dr.S c h w a r t z automatically re-linquished his seat as member andpresident of the Board ofTrustees. He still retains hisposition as Chairman of the De-partment of Surgery, holding therank of Professor of Surgery.

Friends of the Des Moines Col-lege recognize in the loss of theleadership of Dr. Schwartz thecreation of a new and serious prob-lem for the College. Dr. Schwartzhas served the College faithfullyin the capacity of graduate stu-dent and assistant instructor inthe basic sciences, Professor ofsurgery and Dean of the College,and finally as president since1919.

Kirkesville GraduateFollowing graduation from the

Kirkesville College in 1919, hecame to Des Moines as a graduatestudent. He interned for a yearat the Des Moines General Hos-pital under the tutelage of Dr.S. L. Taylor, and was then madeHouse Physician of that institu-tion. For the next five years heheld a surgical assistantship toDr. S. L. Taylor. In 1926 Dr.Schwartz was made Dean of the

College and President and ChiefSurgeon of the Des Moines Gen-eral Hospital. He retained hisposition as Dean of the Collegeuntil the retirement of Dr. A. D.Becker in 1942, at which timehe was elected to the presidencyof the institution.

Se'rviceThroughout his association with

Osteopathy, Dr. Schwartz hasgiven unstintingly of both timeand funds for the progress of theprofession. At the Des MoinesGeneral Hospital he has main-tained a surgical and general hos-pital training school by way ofinternesihips. Since his associa-tion with the College as Presi-dent he has instituted a programof externeships for the Collegeseniors. His personal experienceand that of his staff have at alltime been available for aidingthose who seek to learn. With-out hesitancy, but also withoutbraggadocio or fanfare, Dr.Schwartz's activities have sym-bolized sacrifice and altruism forthe advancement of the advance-ment of the profession of Osteo-pathy.

College RecordDuring his tenure of office as

President of the College, Dr.Schwartz has been a dynamo inthe powerplant of educationalprogress which has served theprofession. Among his accom-plishments and those in coopera-tion with the other colleges ofosteopathy, (1) He has raisedentrance requirements and hasraised the scholastic standardswithin his own institution. (2)He reorganized the faculty on a

workmanlike basis in order to in-crease the efficiency of his stafffor the promulgation of ideasand training in the interest ofhis profession. (3) He has addedthree faculty members of out-standing ability-Mr. H. W. Mer-rill in the Department of Bac-teriology; Dr. L. A. Deitrich inthe Department of OsteopathicTherapeutics; Dr. R. Dean Schickin the Department of Physiology.(4) He has, by cooperation withthe alumni, placed the library ofthe College on a workable andlearned basis. (5) He has reor-ganized the entire physical plantof the College, remodeling andequipping the basic sciencelaboratories, as described fromtime to time in these pages inconnection with our progress fundcampaign. (6) He has givengenerously both in funds andtime to make the osteopathicprogress fund a success. Cam-paigning without the aid of anoutside organization, the cam-paign total is now more than$123,000. Through correspondence,trips, speeches, personal visits toalumni Dr. Schwartz has been re-sponsible for no small part ofthese funds personally. (7) Hehas ably represented the opinionof the College in matters of legis-lation and Selective Servicerulings which have been com-pleted to the advantage of theosteopathic profession in the pasttwo years. (8) His relationshipwith students has been mostcordial, and in every instancepossible, personal intervention tohelp with individual problems hasbeen his method of aid. (9) Inorder to permit student expres-sion of opinion in matters of im-portance to College development,he created the Student FacultyCouncil which has worked to theadvantage of all people concern-ed since its inception. It is anactive organization which allowsthe best student mind the propermode of expression. (10) He hasencouraged and actually built analumni enthusiasm for Collegeactivities which have not prevail-ed since the origin of the College.(11) For the privilege of par-ticipating in this program ofprogress, for the privilege ofdevoting his time to college af-fairs to the detriment of his ownpractice, for the privilege ofsteering his institution in theright direction educationally Dr.Schwartz has received no financialcompensation. He has received,however, a compensation whichfew during their lifetime canachieve: - the happiness whichcomes of devotion for a worthycause; friendships which havecome through his college associa-tion; respect of every man whohas watched the selfless sacrifice ofa true osteopathic enthusiast; ad-miration of all those whoseprivilege it has been to workwith him. His activities through-out his career have carved for Dr.Schwartz an indestructible monu-ment to the history of Osteo-pathic Progress.

TO MY FRIENDSIN OSTEOPATHY:

My feelings upon retire-ment from the Presidencyof the Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy, afteran association of more than25 years with the College,cannot be clearly cate-gorized. My action wasprompted by two primaryforces: (1) Pressure ofwork at the Des MoinesGeneral Hospital reducedto a minimum the timeavailable for administrationof College affairs. Now, asnever before in the historyof the institution, the Col-lege is ini need of the com-plete time and abilities ofan able administrator. Ihave the utmost confidenceand sense of security thatmy successor, Dr. HughClark, will provide educa-tional leadership in theProfession of Osteopathywith distinction.

Secondly, Osteopathic edu-cational programs haveprogressed to the point ofneeding a trained educator.My professional training asphysician and surgeon has,of necessity, been incon-sonant with these require-ments. I have attemptedto give to the Collegethrough the years the bene-fits of my experience; ifthese efforts have acted forthe advantage of Osteo-pathy, I am pleased.

After 25 years of intimateacquaintance with educa-tional problems of the Col-lege, it must be clear tomy readers that my resig-nation from the presidencydoes not, and cannot, erasemy sincere interest andpride in the Des MoinesCollege. Any assistancewhich I can give in an ad-visory capacity, as a friendof the College, will ever beforthcoming.

I leave the Des MoinesCollege administrative staffwith a feeling of completecordiality and with everyconfidence for the futuresuccess of the College.

Sincerely(Signed) J. P. SCHWARTZ.

Dr. Byron E. Laycock-Country Doctor

Dr. B. E. Laycock, Professor ofOsteopathic Technique at the DesMoines College, and CountryDoctor of Maxwell, Iowa, had thelatter capacity called to his at-tention on the night of Thursday,May 18. Having completed hisprofessional duties for the day,Dr. Laycock had every intentionof relaxing at 10:30 p.m. He re-lates that he heard approaching"the longest freight train inhistory" with an unparalleledroar. It finally passed.

Shortly thereafter a Maxwellcitizen roused him and informedhim that a tornado had sweptthe town and advised the doctor,"You get all set, Doc, and we'llbring 'em in to you as fast aswe can find 'em." Dr. Laycockwent to the heart of the damage,where three farms had beenwiped out by the storm, leavingonly foundations of houses andfarm buildings. He remained athis post in an undestroyed farm-

house and treated some thirty-five cases throughout the night.The injuries were various--broken bones, skull fracture, com-pound leg fractures, broken nose,lacerations and contusions beyonddescription. In the most serious-ly stricken area every patientbrought to him had had hisclothing stripped from him by theviolence of the storm; some hadbeen swept through the air byforce of the wind; communica-tions lines out of Maxwell wereall disrupted so that it was im-possible to call aid except bymessenger.

Dr. Laycock worked all Thurs-day night and "most of Fridaynight" to care for the injured.Fortunately only two were killed,one adult and one child.

osteopathic colleges. A great dealof personal commendation is dueDrs. MacBain and McCaughanfor their fine work in bringingthis program to successful com-pletion. It should also be under-stood that the osteopathic pro-fession owes an obligation to bothIowa Wesleyan and his almamater in aiding the execution ofthis splendid program.

Iowa Wesleyan College alreadyoutranks all other Iowa Collegesin the number of graduates whichthey send into graduate and pro-fessional work. Osteopathic phy-sicians can give them aid inmaintaining this distinction byassisting in the plan. Iowa Wes-leyan is a teaching institution; itis proud of its record in thisfield; its staff includes some ofthe finest teaching at the Col-lege level which may be had inthe United States. Iowa Wes-leyan has "specialized" in pre-medical and nurses' training, andnow gives to Osteopathy the ad-vantages of its years of ex-perience in premedical training.Their action in providing amethod for obtaining a bachelor'sdegree in three years for osteo-pathic students is a pioneeringstand, not a gesture, for coopera-tion with osteopathic education.Support their program so thatboth they and we may continuethe friendship thus established.

Annual College Meeting Spirited;Aims Toward Progress, Building

The annual meeting of the DesMoines Still College of Osteo-pathy, represented by 39 mem-bers interested in the future ofthe Des Moines Still College, con-sidered sympathetically andvigorously problems of the Col-lege.

'Treasurer's ReportMost bleak of the evening's

problems was the presentationof the annual auditor's report,showing an operational deficit forthe past year. Included in thestatement was a reiteration oithe indebtedness of the College,in the amount of $73,104.62. Itwas pointed out that there is butone mortgage against Collegeproperty, held by the Lincoln Na-tional Life Insurance Companyof Fort Wayne, Indiana. Thedebt is being amortized by regu-lar monthly payment from fundsof the College treasury. It wasadded that there are outsandingbills in the amount of less than$300.00

President's ReportPrincipal points brought out in

the report of the president to thecorporation were as follows:

1. For the tremendous show ofalumni confidence and enthusi-asm the College owes a debt ofgratitude. Funds reaching theCollege through the OsteopathicProgress Fund, and allocated bythe Board of Trustees of the DesMoines Still College OsteopathicFoundation for improvement oflaboratory and clinical facilities,indicate an alumni faith and aFoundation foresight which arecommendable. A formal letterof appreciation has been sent tothe Foundation.

2. Inspection pressure stillexists and the need for continuedadvancement, particularly in thematter of clinical facilities ismost urgent. In order to drivehome this point, Dr. Clark point-ed out the failure to be acceptedby the Massachusetts ApprovingAuthority. There is much workyet to be done.

3. Among the accomplishmentsof the past year have been:

(a) Addition of the 3 facultymen, Dr. L. A. Deitrich as a fulltime clinic member, and Dr. R. D.Schick as a full time man inPhysiology, the former gave upa private practice to be of serviceto the College, the latter gaveup the security of a position witha state university to join ourstaff (University of Oklahoma),

'* * * * *

and R. O. McGill in the depart-ment of obstetrical clinic. Dr.McGill came to the College aftercompleting his interneship at theD. M. General Hospital.

(b) Organization, expansionand development of the libT.principally through the efforts d-.the STILL COLLEGE CLUB andthe Public Relations Committeeof the National Alumni Associa-tion.

(c) Establishment of a com-bined curriculum plan with IowaWesleyan College, through theagency of Dr. George Sutton, Dr.R. N. MacBain, Dr. R. C. Mc-Caugnan and others of the Na-tional Association staff. It waspointed out that this privilege isshared with all of the osteopathicColleges and that several othermidwest colleges are currentlyconsidering a similar plan.

(d) Elevation of student stand-ards by installation of 2-yearcomprehensive examinations, andincreased interest and pride inthe institution of both studentsand faculty.

(e) Beginning of research pro-gram in the departments ofAnatomy and Therapeutics, byDrs. Kimberly and Deitrich. In-vestigations of both men pertainparticularly to cranial technique.

It was pointed out that, al-though the past year has beenone of the most active in the his-tory of the institution, all affairshave not progressed. Enrollmenthas declined and probably willnot show significant increaseuntil the conclusion of the war.Special plea for assistance in thevocational guidance program wasmade to each attending mem-ber.

Emphasis was placed on therole that the college and clinicscan play in the matter of re-habilitation. Principal education-al feature of the "G.I. Bill ofRights" was pointed out as pro-viding a serviceman's pensionplus his vocational disability com-pensation, if warranted, plus amaximum of $500 per year foreach year the man was in servicesince September 16, 1940. TheCollege and the staff have a con-siderable role to play, in coopera-tion with the Vocational Re-habilitation Administration, in the

Review

Foundation

During the past four yearsthere has been a remarkable in-terest in College developmentshown by the alumni. This hasbeen manifested through theinitial efforts of a small, butsteadily growing group, to builda teaching, clinical hospital. Theoriginal lots for a hospital sitewere purchased by small sub-scriptions. Following their pur-chase the Des Moines Still Col-lege Osteopathic Foundation wasformed, and formal presentationof the lots was made by Dr. FredCampbell to Mr. J. J. Newlin,President of the Foundation,more than a year ago.

Still College ClubThe same alumni group which

initiated the movement towardhospital construction and thecreation of the Foundation, latercreated the Still College Club.With the funds returning throughthis channel many improvementswere made, including principallya redecoration and a systematiza-tion of the library facilities.

Osteopathic Progress Fund

At the time of completion ofthe library project, both theFoundation and the College founditself in the midst of a campaignfor funds, conducted contem-

poraneously with the campaignsof other colleges under the nameof Osteopathic Progress Fund.This campaign yielded approxi-mately $105,000, and to all in-tents and purposes was concludedin March, 1944.

Overall CampaignThe A.O.A. then began its

Overall Campaign with twochoices for contribution - (1)Give to the Overall, which willbe divided equally among theColleges, or (2) Give to the Col-lege of your choice. At the lastreport available, the Des MoinesCollege total has been raised tomore than $120,000.

The Funds which have cometo the "Des Moines College"have actually been deposited withthe Des Moines Still CollegeOsteopathic Foundation. Im-provements made in the Collegeby way of reorganization and re-equipment of the laboratorieshave been made with fundsdonated to the College by theFoundation, which is bound by itsstatement of purposes, tobenevolence toward the Collegeprogram.

ProspectThe history cited above, the

alumni support, elevation ofstandards of entrance by theA.O.A and within the College, en-thusiasm among the alumni forcollege progress, determination toestablish a research program, in-creasing efforts to sell, scientifi-cally, the science of Osteopathy,the necessity of leading in thefield of medical education, ratherthan follow, all of these itemssay WE, AS A PROFESSION,ARE GOING FORWARD. If youhave not yet gotten aboard thebandwagon of osteopathic success,NOW IS THE TIME.

Our position at the College isclearly stated by publication ofthe Articles and By-Laws; cooper-ation and faith in us is expressedby the donation of equipment bythe Foundation. More than threehundred osteopathic physicianshave expressed faith in us bycontributions from $10 to $1600to aid our progress. The Col-lege will justify that faith byactions which shall be for thegood of the entire profession. Inthe future, even more than inthe past, the College feels thatyou will be judged by the ex-cellence of the current instruc-tion. You have aided the Col-lege; the'College is acutely awareof its obligations to you as aphysician.

Dr. Jordan RecoveringFrom Surgery

Dr. Holcomb Jordan, twicepresident of the State Society ofOsteopathic Physicians and Sur-geons and present Trustee of thatgroup, spent a few days recent-ly at the Des Moines GeneralHospital, following tonsillectomy.Dr. Jordan, under the care of Dr.Graney, recovered easily fromthe minor operation and is backat work in Davenport. Best wish-es for continued good health.

Student-Faculty CouncilElects Officers

The Student-Faculty council ata recent meeting elected officersfor the summer semester. Theyare as follows: President, J.Scott Heatherington; Vice-presi-den, Dr. L. A. Deitrich; Secre-tary, Gordon Sherwood; Treas-urer, Dr. Paul E. Kimberly.

The organization is made up offour faculty and four studentrepresentatives who are electedby their respective classes. Thefaculty representatives are ap-pointed by the Dean, each 'mem-ber serving as class adviser tothe class with which he is mostfrequently associated.

Student-Doctor PartyScheduled for June 23

The Student Activities Com-mittee of the Faculty has ar-ranged to combine the FreshmanReception, given each semesterby the College, with a get-ac-quainted party for students andprofession in Des Moines andsuburbs. Dr. Kimberly, Chair-man of the Committee, announcesthat the date is June 23; thetime 9:30 p.m.; the place, theCollege Auditorium.

The party will serve the pur-poses of honoring the new stu-dents, including upper classtransfers, who came to the DesMoines College at the beginningof the May 16 semester, and ofacquainting all the college stu-dents with each other, theirfaculty and the alumni andfriends of the College. The partywill feature dancing, survey ofthe College for those not familiarwith the new developments, andrefreshments.

The gathering is sponsored bythe College, the Polk CountyOsteopathic Society and the Pub-lic Relations Committee of theNational Alumni Association.Everybody is going to be there,so save the date, and get ac-quainted with our student bodyand our faculty.

Alumni Deaths

Dr. James 0. Humbert ofMinneapolis, graduate ofthe class of 1926, passedaway on May 7, 1944.

Dr. JoIhn Paul Jones ofBuckhannon, Wes Virginia,and Des Moines graduate of1928, died on April 26, 1944.Dr. Jones was a most activealumnus and active mem-ber of both national anddivisional osteopathic so-cieties. His loss will bekeenly felt by fellow-prac-titioners of West Virginia aswell as by the Des MoinesStill College.

Again-The $100-a-Year Club

Response to previous LOGBOOK notices regarding the$100-a-Year Club has been favor-able. One state has set aboutorganization of a plan for fullmembership of all the physiciansin the State. Others have shownan equally keen interest, but havenot established the machinery ofoperation. Membership now inthe $100-a-Year Club will be in-cluded in the Over-all Campaigntotal, and we are anxious to boostthat total to its peak beforeinitiating our Public Campaign.Total alumni contributions todate are over of the $150,000mark.

Scarcely a member of the pro-fession is not actually surprisedby the magnificent showing of theosteopathic physicians in supportof osteopathic education. Not amember of the profession whohas contributed to the Campaignexists who does not feel a great-er pride in his profession becauseof 'the progress made in hisschool. Des Moines alumni maybe especially proud for the workthat has been accomplished:

1. Two faculty members havebeen added (Dr. R. D. Schick inPhysiology and Dr. L. A. Deitrichin the Clinic).

2. The Library has received ap-proximately $700 in books, andsubscribes to approximately 30journals which are bound annual-ly. As a result of the improve-ments made in the library, theState Medical Library regularlyloans to the College library 30journals. A librarian is maintain-ed on duty, full-time.

3. A G-E Diagnostic x-ray unithas been purchased for the clinicand is slated for delivery thismonth.

4. Laboratories have been re-modeled, reequipped and reor-ganized.

5. Iowa Wesleyan College hasannounced a plan for granting aBachelor's degree after 3 yearswork at that institution and com-pletion of the curriculum for thedegree D.O. This is almost cer-tainly an outgrowth of our edu-cational expansion, and in itselfconstitutes one of the principleforms of educational expansion.

6. The splendid alumni showingmakes it possible to approach thepublic for additional funds, whichshould exceed those contributedby the alumni. (The date for

Duties of the TreasurerIt shall be the duty of the Treasurer to make out all contracts

with the students, to collect all money for the same, to act ascustodian of the: funds of the Corporation and to deposit same insuch bank or banks as may be chosen by the Executive Committee.

He shall give bond for five thousand dollars ($5000.00) the feefor which shall be paid by the Corporation.

It shall be his duty to collect the endowment fund, to depositit as provided for and to invest the same or part thereof in suchways as the Executive Committee may direct.

It shall be his duty to issue checks only on order from thePresident or Executive Committee, or endorsed by the President'sO. K.; and in the absence of the President, the Secretary shall issuesuch orders or give his O. K. in payment of all obligations of theCorporation, and if any error be detected in such orders, it shall behis duty to call the attention of the President, or in his absence,the attention of the Secretary to the same, and in case of any disagree-ment the question shall be referred to the Trustees for settlement.He shall submit to the Executive Committee at the end of eachmonth a report of all money received and disbursed and the balanceon hand.

Executive CommitteeThe Executive Committee of the Corporation shall consist of the

President, Dean and Secretary.It shall be the duty of the Executive Committee to meet once a

month at the call of the President; to receive the reports of theTreasurer and Secretary, and to exercise discretionary powers in allmatters pertaining to the conduct of the college affairs during theadjournment of the Trustees.

GeneralAll papers and books pertaining to the Corporation shall be kept

the kick-off of the public cam-paign in Des Moines is August28). Continued support of theCollege in the form of the $100-a-year Club would assure com-plete success of the campaign tothe public.

Additional obligations of theCollege brought on by the pro-gram of expansion necessitatethat the College seek financialaid in order to continue educa-tional services. Student tuition,Clinic fees and casual gifts arenot sufficient to maintain the in-stitution at its present capacity.Seven state and national "in-spections" are pending. Prepara-tion must be made for these, by

way of continuing the policy ofexpansion, and maintenance ofhigh scholastic standards. Otherswill follow the initial surveys, andOsteopathy must consider itselfto have embarked on a programof permanent, progressive devel-opment. Osteopathy must con-tinue as a profession in the in-terest of public health andscientific advancement in the fieldof the healing arts. The Col-leges must therefore exist. Andin order that the colleges con-tinue, they must have the sup-port of alumni. We at Des Moinesopenly seek that support throughthe medium of the $100-a-YearClub.

Notice

The following letter was re-ceived by the college office.

Mrs. K. M. Robinson, Sec.Des Moines Still CollegeDes Moines, Ia.Dear Madam:

There is a confidence manoperating in the Middle Westwho I think, should be exposed.He pretends to service short wavediathermy and x-ray equipment.I have been told that his nameis H. R. Flake of Des Moines.

This man will "test" shortwave or x-ray tubes and an-nounce that they are only work-ing "about half"; then will ar-range to trade the doctor anothertube which is undoubtedly a usedone and usually the wrong size.He will charge more than thqOPA ceiling price and state thathe must take the old tube to getthe priority. Thus he will leavemuch richer than when he cameand is still equipped to victimizesome other doctor.

The worst feature of it is thathe leaves the equipment in suchcondition that the tubes are like-ly to burn out. All told, the ad-venture is likely to prove veryexpensive.

All the D.O.s should be warnedof this man's methods since Ihave learned that he has beenworking this trick in this terri-tory for many years.

Fraternally and sincerely,M. W. MYERS,D.O.

Dr. Schick AcceptsPhysiology Position

Dr. R. Dean Schick, of LakeOrion, Michigan, has joined thestaff of the Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy in the De-partment of Physiology.

Dr. Schick received his Bache-lor's degree from the Universityof Michigan, in 1932; his Master'sdegree in the same institution in1933, and his Ph.D. from Michi-gan in 1942. From 1934 to 1936he was teaching assistant in theDepartment of Zoology and from1937 to 1941 held a fellowship inthe same department. He wason the staff of the Medical Schoolof Ohio State University as in-structor in 1941 and 1942. From1942 to the present he was as-sistant professor of AnimalBiology at the University ofOklahoma in Norman.

Dr. Schick is a member ofPhi Sigma Honorary Biology So-ciety, Sigma Xi HonoraryScientific Society and the Okla-homa Academy of Science. Hisresearch interests have been prin-cipally in the field of hormonesof reproduction. He plans to con-tinue this work at the DesMoines Still College of Osteo-pathy.

Osteopathic TeachingLooks to the Future

The present war is providingunparalled opportunities for theentrance into this country ofpathogenic agents and diseasevectors that have played little orno part in our past medicalhistory.

We must be alert in recogniz-ing these new imported diseasesin all of their stages so that they

man be treated, isolated, or other-vise controlled in order to mini-iize their danger to us. For theost-war period we will not only

Je concerned with the effects ofropical diseases on our own soil,rut we will take a leading rolei preventive medicine through-!t the world. This can mean

only one thing-that, beginningnow, greater stress must beplaced on the numerous subjectsof this field by initiating into thecurricula of our osteopathicschools those subjects nowneglected and yet so vital for anunderstanding of post-war dis-eases. Opportunities for funda-mental research must be pro-vided; better training must bedeveloped through increasedteaching facilities so that we canmore ably fulfill the responsi-bilities that will come to us asa result of our greater contactswith these less familiar diseases.

Today, when visual and audio-visual teaching aids are definite-ly establishing their worth, itappears that no teacher shouldcontinue to ignore so forceful ateaching medium to facilitate thelearning of the new and vitalsubjects now being introduced inthe field of preventive medicine.This method of teaching is in nosense a radical departure fromthe accepted and prescribed prac-tices of teaching. Scientificallycontrolled research and studyhave revealed the effectiveness ofvisual and audiovisual teaching inthe learning process.

It has been shown by researchspecialists that students usingsound films in natural sciencelearn 27 percent more than thosetaught by the ordinary classroommethods. Other tests have shownthat motion pictures have in-creased the accumulation ofknowledge and ideas as much as35 percent and, retention of thisknowledge, as much as 55 per-cent.

The film, a most valuable sci-entific aid to teaching, is not in-tended to do away with theteacher or the textbook but tomake their instruction more ef-ficient.

Our osteopathic colleges, aswell as other schools of the heal-ing art, are not availing them-selves of the advantages and op-portunities which visual andaudiovisual instruction has to of-fer.

Because of the support and in-terest shown by faculty membersof the Des Moines Still College,an attempt has been made, dur-ing the past semester, to developa visual education program in theDepartment of Preventive Medi-cine. Greater use of charts,models, slides, still pictures andmoving pictures has been under-taken. Two dozen new charts andnine dozen new 2 in. x 2 in.

The War ServiceConference

From July 12th to July 18thosteopathic physicians will havea golden opportunity to acquaintthemselves with recent advance-ments in their science and withnew problems to be faced asmembers of the Armed Forcesare discharged. Special meetings,beginning July 12th, in thevarious specialties of osteopathy,will provide a 20-ring circus ofeducation. Osteopathic conven-tions always well attended haveserved through the years to pro-mote professional i n t e r e s tthrough organizational enthu-siasm, education and perfectionof the individual in his specialfield.

This year should be the great-est of all conventions because itis a preparation for gigantic post-war problems. Each physicianshould make a most earnest ef-fort to attend the convention forwhat may be the last pre-armistice training for the post-war period.

THE LOG BOOK

Mechanics of theCerebro-Spinal Fluid

Much of the physiology of thecerebro-spinal fluid is as yet un-known. The known facts are notwidely appreciated or applied ingeneral practice. This brief re-view is presented in the hopethat it may refresh the memory,and clarify some of the symp-tomatology and treatment asso-ciated with cranial injuries anddiseases.

Most of the cerebro-spinal fluidis formed within the lateralventricles of the brain, by thechoroid plexuses. These capil-lary networks appear to functionmuch the same as the glomeruliof the kidneys, except that thecontrol mechanism differs. Thefiltrate, which is the cerebro-spinal fluid, normally containsthe inorganic salts and the smalluncomplicated molecules in ap-proximately the same proportionas the blood plasma; the amountof protein is normally veryminute. When inflammed, thepermeability of the filtering mem-branes is increased, and, as inthe case with the glomeruli, pro-teins and perhaps red blood cellsappear in the filtrate.

The amount of filtrate pro-duced depends upon three fac-tors: First, the back-pressure, orthe pressure exerted upon theoutside of the plexuses by thecerebro-spinal fluid already with-in the ventricles. When thispressure is abnormally low, largequantities of fluid may be pro-duced. When it is high, littleadditional fluid is produced. Sec-ond, the amount of fluid produceddepends upon the state of dilata-tion of the capillaries of the net-work. Stimulation of the cer-vical sympathetics results in con-striction, and vagal stimulationresults in dilatation of these ves-sels. Third, the relative con-centration of the blood is an im-portant factor. In hemodilution,formation of the fluid is in-creased; in hemo-concentration,formation of the fluid is de-creased. These factors are im-portant in the production ofmeningism of youngsters, and inthe treatment of certain types ofintracranial hypertension in old-sters.

Because most of the cerebro-spinal fluid is produced within thelateral ventricles of the brain, itscirculation starts at that point.Newly-formed fluid consantlyforces the previously formedfluid through the foramina ofMunro to the third ventricle,thence through the aqueduct ofSylvius to the fourth ventricle.From here it passes through theforamina of Lushka into the suba-rachnoid space at the base ofthe brain. These multiple smallopenings in the roof of the fourthventricle may become occludedby a fibrinous membrane inmeningitis, resulting in a non-communicating hydrocephalus.

The subarachnoid space in thebasal regions is somewhat en-

larged, forming the so-calledbasal cysterns. From here thecerebro-spinal fluid flows upwardthrough the subarachnoid spaceto the arachnoid granulations andvilli of the great venous sinuseswhere it is constantly being re-sorbed into the blood. Somefluid is probably added, and someis probably absorbed enroute.

This leaves unexplained thecirculation of the fluid withinthe subarachnoid space of thespinal canal. Some fluid is prob-ably produced by the capillariesof the spinal cord, and some ofit is undoubtedly absorbed there.But the circulation within thespinal canal is known to be muchslower, more stagnant than thatof the cranial cavity. Incranial injuries and infectionsthe protein and cell count of thespinal fluid remains elevated longafter the cranial fluid has re-turned to nearly normal.

Functions of the cerebo-spinalfluid are:

1. Support of the intracranialand intraspinal structures.

2. Hydrostatic regulation ofintracranial and intraspinalblood volume, and subse-quently venous drainage.

3. Lubrication between thebrain and spinal cord andtheir bony cavities.

4. Limited protection for intra-cranial structures.

5. Probable medium for ex-change of metabolic ma-terials.

6. Probable means of stabiliz-ing blood volume and venousdrainage of the inner ear.

Since very slight strain on thenerves and great vessels of thebasilar area of the brain resultsin pain, support of a nature thatdoes not change appreciably withshift of position is essential forthe brain structures. Normallythis support is attained by theflotation effect of the cerebro-spinal fluid. Basic weight of thebrain is about 1300 grams. Ithas a specific gravity of about1.040. Specific gravity of thecerebro-spinal fluid is about 1.007to 1.008. Hence the buoyant ef-fect of the cerebro-spinal fluidupon the brain is about 1260grams, leaving slightly more than40 grams to be supported by thenon-fluid structures of thecranium. This major support isunaffected by changes in pressurealone.

The stabilizing effect of thecerebro-spinal fluid upon intra-cranial blood supply and drainageis commonly overlooked. But itshould be apparent if we con-sider that the cranio-spinal vaultis a closed cavity. The onlyfunctional openings normallypresent are those formed by theblood vessels entering and leav-ing the cavity. The bony wallsforms a fairly rigid, unyieldingstructure of essentially unchang-ing volume. Hence, any changeof intracranial blood volumemust be accompanied by an op-posite change in cerebro-spinalfluid volume. If the amount of

cerebro-spinal fluid is increased,blood volume must decrease; ifcerebro-spinal fluid is lost, bloodvolume must increase. Since thecerebral veins are thin-walled,without valves, and without sup-port (other than that offered bytheir terminal attachments andthe cerebro-spinal fluid) most ofthe change in blood volume oc-curs in these vessels. An ab-normal drop in cerebro-spinalfluid pressure results in disten-sion of these veins. A rise incerebro-spinal fluid pressures isaccompanied by partial or corn-plete collapse of these veins. Dis-tension of the veins may reacha point where tension upon theb as al structures apparentlycauses headache, as in chronicloss of fluid following diagnosticspinal puncture. Collapse of intra-cranial veins or vessels may ex-tend to the point where cerebralischemia and fatal brain edemadevelop, as in cranial injurieswith subarachnoid hemorrhage,or in intracranial infection pro-ducing effusions and edema fluid.

Intracranial arterial and venouspressures change rather marked-ly as a person changes position.In the upright position, venouspressures are low, in the hori-zontal they are somewhat high-er; in the vertical head-downposition, intracranial venouspressures are markedly increased.Probably comparable changestake place in the arterial sys-tem; both are due to the pres-ence or absence of the weight ofa column of blood above thepressue point. But intracranialcerebro-spinal fluid pressure ap-pears to parallel these vascularpressures, preventing collapse ofthe vessels when a person is up-right, and preventing distensionwhen he stoops or stands on hishead. A similar mechanism prob-ably stabilizes the circulation ofthe inner ear, since an extensionof the membranous labyrinthcontaining endolymph is enclosedbetween the dual layers, therebyeffecting a communication of in-tracranial pressure changes tothe inner ear.

Summary

1. Pathological increases in in-tracranial pressure may disturbnormal cerebral circulation. Thisincreased pressure may be re-lieved therapeutically beforebrain edema develops by repeatedspinal tap and drainage, by in-travenous hypertonic solutions, orby manipulation, as indicated.

2. Pathological decrease in in-tra cranial pressure may causeheadache. This may resultfrom cranial fracture with lossof cerebro-spinal fluid, or fromdiagnostic spinal tap. Treatmentconsists essentially of maintain-ing the patient in a horizontalposition until the break in thearachnoid layer is healed. Injec-tion of normal saline into thesubarachnoid space in quantitysufficient to raise cerebro-spinalfluid pressure to normal, ormanipulation of the cervical andcranial regions may give im-mediate relief, but the horizontal

Osteopathic TrainingFor Veterans

The passage of the much dis-cussed G. I. Bill, part of whosefeatures includes a provision forrehabilitation through education,can be of the utmost significancein the development of Osteo--pathy. According to the bill,later modified, "disabled" vet-erans may receive, in addition totheir basic pension and allotmentfor disablement, a maximum of$500.00 per year for each yearthat they have been in the serv-ice since 1940, for a period notto exceed four years.

In order to make this programmost effective from the point ofview of rehabilitation and osteo-pathic progress, a good deal ofwork must be done by the osteo-pathic profession in cooperationwith vocational rehabilitation of-ficers. The entire plan forvocational guidance is not work-ed out in detail to handle thelarge number of men who will bedismissed from the Armed Forcesat the cessation of hostilities.Currently, however, the problemis being handled by state agenciesand the possibilities for a sincereosteopathic effort to help shouldbe pointed out to the stateofficers. Such contact has beenmade with the Office of Rehabili-tation for Iowa, Chief Officer ofwhich is Mr. J. C. Johnson. Thestate or district rehabilitationofficer should be notified by cata-log, special bulletins and litera-ture of precise plans.. of whichany veteran may take advantage.This may apply either to youngmen or women who have com-pleted preosteopathic require-ments, or osteopathic graduateswho will be seeking further ad-vanced specialized training, inorder to return to their civilianpractices.

More will be said on this topicas program of both the govern-ment- and the osteopathic col-leges are comnpleted in detail.

Veterans who consider them-selves eligible for education andtraining under this act and thosenow enrolled in school or collegeshould write either the regionaloffice of the Veterans' Admini-stration located in the territoryin which they live expressing adesire to enroll as a student.Without waiting for a reply vet-erans may continue in the institu-tion in which they are now study-ing and those not now attendingschool or college may enroll inan education or training institu-

tion which desires to admit themfor the program of courses theywish to pursue.

Student-Faculty PartyA Fine Success

The Student-Faculty party wasa splendid success, attended by125 students, faculty and alumniin the College Auditorium. Theevening became cool enough toenjoy dancing and those who at-tended were pleased with theprogram.

At intermission the group wasentertained by a song by Dr.Victor Englund, two vocal num-bers by Mr. H. Roy Rasmusson,a junior student, and piano selec-tions by Dr. R. O. McGill and Mr.Robert Sedar-thus representingthe students, faculty and alumnion the program.

The Program was arranged byDr. P. E. Kimberly, chairman ofthe Student Activities Committee,and his committeemen, Dr. H. A.Barquist and Dr. J. Q. A. Mat-tern. The party was specificallya freshmen reception, arranged insuch a manner that alumni mightalso attend and inspect Collegeimprovements. All felt that theinstitutional changes were ex-cellently done and feel a newsense of pride in their almamater.

Editorial ChampionsOsteopathic Commissions

(The following piece isexcerpted from the JulyFORUM.)

"Many fine doctors who useonly medicine in their practicerecognize that osteopathy has aplace in the healing art whichmedicine cannot supply," says aneditorial appearing in the Octo-ber 13 editorial column of Ohio'sBowling Green Tribune, "and onthe other hand, there are inmedicine elements which adjust-ments of the spine and other bonesof the body cannot reach withthe promptness of drugs..

"Despite the fact that Congresshas enacted laws providing forthe commissioning of osteopathsin the Navy, the latter thus farhas declined to accept the serv-ices of such men. But in thepresent great war in which thevalue of first aid by nurses, andby soldiers and sailors trained aspharmacists' mates is recognized,it would see that the Navy oughtto avail itself of proffered serv-ices of osteopaths whose technichas added much to healing ofcivilians. Congress has recog-nized this by its law; and theNavy should do likewise."



The George W. SuttonScholarship

(The following report ofDr. Sutton's offer of ascholar is an excerpt fromthe July FORUM.)

A scholarship offer has beenmade by George W. Sutton,DMS, '40, Mount Pleasant, Iowa,effective beginning September 12,1944, for three school yearsthereafter. The full tuition atIowa Wesleyan amounting to$248 each school year will bepaid. This is restricted to thosestudents who promise before-hand to take the full three-yeardegree course at Iowa Wesleyan.The young man or woman apply-ing for the scholarship must sub-mit to the selecting committee:1. A letter of recommendationfrom his osteopathic physicianand two other citizens who arenot related to him. 2. The neces-sary information required by theselecting committee concerninghimself and why he needs sucha scholarship. 3. A 500-wordletter stating why he desires tobe an osteopathic physician andwhat his plans for life are.

The committee designated byDr. Sutton as having full andfinal authority in the selection ofthe scholarship student is theAcademic Committee of IowaWesleyan College. All who wishto take advantage of this offershould write immediately to Pro-fessor Harold E. Nelson, Chair-man of the Academic Committee,Iowa Wesleyan College, MountPleasant, Iowa, for ApplicationBlanks, as all applications mustbe in the hands of the committeeon or before August 1, 1944. Thecommittee plans to make itsdecision immediately thereafter.Any candidate desiring to inter-view Professor Nelson or othermembers of the committee maydo so.

Dr. Sutton makes this offer fortwo reasons: 1. Because early inhis life an education was madepossible to him through the kind-ly help of an older friend andhe would like to pass it on. 2.He is very much interested instimulating the three-year train-ing program among young peo-ple interested in osteopathy.

The first two-year preosteo-pathic course will begin Septem-ber, 1944, the second in January,and the third in September, 1945,and the fourth in January, 1946.The three-year Bachelor degreecourse, called the preosteopathicdegree course, consists of thetwo-year course with 30 addi-tional hours, making a total of90 hours in which there must be15 or more in one departmentother than the laboratorysciences, and also 6 hours in Eng-lish composition, and 6 in religionand philosophy. It is recommend-ed that any free hours shall bedevoted to abnormal psychology,foreign languages, speech litera-ture and music.

"The Bureau of ProfessionalEducation and Colleges of theAmerican Osteopathic Associationis pleased to note the proposalof Iowa Wesleyan College, cover-ing two alternative curricula of-fered by that college for pre-osteopathic preparatory course,"according to a statement signedby Dr. R. McFarlane Tilley,chairman of the Bureau of Pro-fession Education and Collegesof the American Osteopathic As-sociation that appeared in theIowa Wesleyan College Bulletin.Dr. Tilley goes on to say:

"One of the courses proposedis designed for completion of twocollegiate years of approximatelynine months each, and the otherfor completion in three collegeyears. On successful completionof the latter course and the fullcourse in an osteopathic col-lege approved by the A.O.A., thecollege plans to grant to the-student either the degree ofBachelor of Science or Bachelorof Arts, whichever indicated.

"The Bureau is glad to approveIowa Wesleyan College for thesecourses and to recommend thatinstitution to all approved osteo-pathic colleges and to studentswho plan to become osteopathicphysicians and surgeons."

Iowa Wesleyan is one of thethree oldest colleges west of theMississippi river, having beenfounded in 1842, before there wasa state of Iowa. It is said to beone of the first two schools togive a degree to a woman. Itis accredited by the State Boardof Education, the MethodistSenate, and the North CentralAssociation of Colleges and Sec-ondary Schools. It has eight col-lege buildings, including twolarge dormitories for girls, bar-racks and frat houses for boys.It has one teacher for every tenstudents.

This announcement is of spe-cial interest to osteopathic phy-sicians who have occasion to ad-vise young persons apsiring tobecome doctors of osteopathy,and especially to vocationalguidance directors and to coun-selors. The arrangement wascompleted as a result of negotia-tions carried on by Stanley D.Niles, President of Iowa Wes-leyan College, Drs. R. McFarlaneTilley, and R. C. McCaughlan forthe American Osteopathic Asso-ciation, and Dr. R. N. MacBainfor the American Association- ofOsteopathic Colleges.

In an attempt to beat the heatand gas rationing, the membersof Phi Sigma Gamma, under thesupervision of Brother MickeyClausing, are beginning work ona picnic set-up with a barbequepit in the back yard. Upon itscompletion, the chapter will holdan all-school weiner roast and in-formal dance at the chapterhouse.

In answer to the question,"Where shall we eat?", PhiSigma Gamma offers the hos-pitality of her table to the stu-dents at Still College startingJuly 24th. The delay in openingwas brought about by the dif-ficulties encountered in gettingthe kitchen and dining roomredecorated.

Contrary to the opinion thatmay be derived from reading thisarticle, the Phi Sigs do think ofother things besides eating.Initiation and pledging cere-monies have been scheduled forthe week of August first.

At a dinner meeting of themembers and alumni, to be heldduring the first week followingthe summer vacation, a paper ona scientific subject of his ownchoice will be presented by oneof the new initiates.

The chapter at this time wish-es to welcome the new freshmenand transfer students to Still Col-lege. We urge you to strive forhigh scholastic averages foryourselves, your college and yourprofession.

Due to vacations during themonth of July, the meeting onJuly 18 at the home of HelenReichstadt has been changed toJuly 25 at which time there willbe election of officers. We hopeevery member will make a spe-cial effort to attend.

ATLAS CLUThe last meeting of the pre-

vacation season was held Mondaynight at the home of LesterRaub. The most prominent fea-ture of the business meeting wasan enthusiastic discussion of thepractical work night which Dr.Bachman so graciously extendedto us, to be held soon after wereturn from vacation.

We wish to take this oppor-tunity to congratulate our newpledges, Lennert Lorentson and

Norbert Heichelbech. Also, wewish everyone to be having a finerest during the holiday period.

AnThe first meeting of Delta

Omega Sorority for the newsemester was in the form of abuffet supper at the home of Dr.Beryl Freeman. Miss TheresaPalmer and Miss ShirIey Tal-bott were the guests of honor.The main purpose of the meetingwas the introduction of these newwomen students to the alumnimembers.

Miss Palmer, whose home is inDetroit, Michigan, is a sophomoretransfer student from ChicagoCollege of Osteopathy, where shecompleted her first year thisspring. Miss Talbott, who hasbeen in close contact with theosteopathic profession for somemonths, being employed on thenursing staff of the Des MoinesGeneral Hospital, enrolled as afreshman. Her former home wasin Moravia, Iowa.

Plans for the pledge dinnerhave not been completed, but itwill take place shortly after thesummer vacation. This will beheld as a meeting with the alumnimembers, whose activity duringthe past semester has helped thesorority on its feet. We are verygrateful to them.

On the evening of June 20,at the office of Dr. Sloan, oursupreme deputy, Beta Chapterheld a combined business meet-ing and work night. Besides afine technic demonstration con-ducted by Dr. Sloan, our Presi-dent Merrill conducted a sessionin visual education by showingsome fine pictures on dental careand a Walt Disney short onvaccination. We thank Dr. Sloanfor the use of his office and timeand Brother Merrill for an educa-tional meeting.

At this writing the studentbody and faculty are enjoying amuch needed vacation from teach-ing and studies. The most ofus are, however, taking only aweek of vacation, for the clinicis remaining open so that ourpatients may continue treatments.Brother Merrill plans on attend-ing the war service conferenceat Chicago July 12, and will pres-ent the annual Beta Chapter re-port at the grand council meet-ing which is held yearly at thenational Osteopathic convention.

Osteopathic Teaching

(Continued from Page 1)chased for the department. SinceMay 1, 1944, twenty-eight moviefilms, either rented or borrowed,have been shown. Of this num-ber, about one-half were soundfilms, all having been planned tocorrelate with the class discus-sions and lectures. Most of thefilms were used in the presenta-tion of the public health andsanitation course.

The student response to thismethod of teaching has been veryencouraging so far in that morestudent interest in the subjectshas been shown. Examinationshave revealed that the acquisi-tion and retention of knowledgeon the part of the student hasbeen appreciably greater thanthat obtained by the previousstraight lecture presentation ofmaterial.

The duration of this new teach-ing method has been, as yet, tooshort to base any definite con-clusion upon the findings, but theresults have far excelled our ex-pectations and do well justifycontinuation of the program onan ever-broadening and perma-nent basis.

The stock of all types of visualteaching aids is continually beingincreased in the Preventive Medi-cine Department, and presentplans are under discussion andconsideration for an extensiveexpansion of visual instructionin the other department of thecollege.

It is hoped that the near futurewill bring about the establish-ment of a film library at StillCollege, to be used not only forcollege instructional purposes,but also as a lending library forthe benefit of other osteopathicinstitutions, physicians, and or-ganized groups in the osteopathicprofession.

The opportunity is unusuallygood at this time for osteopathiceducation, and for our school inparticular, to take the lead inthis new field of teaching tech-niques by intelligently using andincreasing our supply of visualand audiovisual equipment.

and osteopathic treatments twiceweekly for correction of cranialand spinal lesions.

ResultsVomiting occurred once follow-

ing the first treatment. Hearingwas noticeably improved follow-ing the sectond treatment. Thepain in the neck and upper dor-sals disappeared following thethird treatment. Improvement inthe hearing was continuous to acomplete normalization at theend of a three months periods,at which time a recheck demon-strated an absence of the pre-vious findings and treatment wasdiscontinued.

Alumni ElectNational Officers

The National Alumni Associa-tion of Des Moines Still Collegeof Osteopathy have chosen fortheir leaders during 1944-45 aparticularly strong group of men.Dr. Russell Wright, of Detroit,was named President; Dr. FrankSpencer, of Columbus, Ohio, waselected Vice-President; and Dr.Charles C. Auseon, of Hillsdale,Michigan, was named ExecutiveSecretary. These men have beenextremely active in alumniaffairs previously and they havesupported the educational cam-paigns during the past year. Abrilliant year of alumni activityis anticipated under their guid-ance in cooperation with the DesMoines Still College of Osteo-pathy.

Public Relations Note

The Des Moines Still Collegeof Osteopathy would like to callattention to a rather interestingletterhead which came to its at-tention through correspondencewith its alumni secretary, Dr.C. C. Auseon. Above the identi-fication of Dr. Auseon's institu-tion (Hillsdale Osteopathic Clinic)Dr. Auseon has incribed "EndowOsteopathic Colleges - Six FineInstitutions." Such unsolicitedsupport of osteopathic educationis most noteworthy. The factthat it calls to the attention ofall of Dr. Auseon's correspondentsour colleges is most commend-able. Perhaps the ingenuity ofother alumni will enable them tocarry still farther the spiritsignified by Dr. Auseon's gesture.

Dr. Saul Klein DonatesAtlas to Library-

Dr. Saul Klein, active memberof the Legislative Committee ofthe Iowa Society of OsteopathicPhysicians and Surgeons forseveral years and alumnus of theDes Moines Still College of Osteo-pathy, last week presented to thelibrary a fine set of Spalteholz' 3-volume Atlas of Human Anatomy.The college deeply appreciates Dr.Klein's thoughtfulness in thepresentation of this masterpiecefor student reference. Dr. Klein,victim of a heart ailment whichincapacitated him for severalmonths, we are pleased to reportis in much better health and ispracticing at Clear Lake, Iowa,with Dr. E. E. Chappell.

_---- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Alumni Hear Harmon on What Do You Think?

Educational Prohlems ---The National Alumni Associa-

tion was particularly fortunatein obtaining for its annual ban-quet meeting during the WarHealth Conference Dr. Henry G.Harmon, President of Drake Uni-versity, as principal speaker. Dr.Harmon gave a stimulating andreassuring talk on the role thatalumni might play in educationaldevelopment. He pointed ou threecategories of alumni, which couldbe identified - the "ancientadolescents," who are those whoseek to regain the spirit andactivities of their college days atthe annual homecoming, unfail-ingly without success; the groupof alumni who give lip service totheir Alma Mater and whose ef-forts go little beyond thefigurative slap on the back andgood word; the third groupwhich, form the backbone of thealumni structure, are those rela-tively few men who feel a moralobligation to advance the causeof education through their owninstitution. Complimenting theDes Moines college alumni thatthey had shown evidence of be-longing to the last group, Dr.Harmon encouraged the alumnibody to persist in their strength-ening educational efforts.

Professional Education

He pointed out that our pro-fessional education, because ofthe fact that it required ex-tensive laboratory and clinicalwork, as well as a strong library,was far more expensive than theaverage Liberal Arts education.

Dr. Harmon has shown himselfin the past to be a strong sup-porter of osteopathy and he haspreviously given lectures beforeosteopathic groups. Dr. Harmonspoke at the 50th Anniversary ofOsteopathic Education in DesMoines two years ago. He alsogave the A. T. Still MemorialAddress before the general ses-sions on Sunday afternoon dur-the War Health Conference.

Dr. Henry G. Harmon

The following article waswritten by Dr. Halladay somethree years ago. Virg would bepleased to see how far theAlumni have gone toward ac-complishing "the impossible."-Ed.

The perpetuation of any or-ganization that offers a publicservice depends upon a numberof factors. In the first place itsproduct must be something thatis in demand by a large percentof the people. This productmust be delivered to the publicby trained men and women whoare enthusiastic and sincerelyanxious to spread the benefits ofits use. It must be producedin sufficient quantity to supplythe demand and in the highestquality in order to maintain thedemand. The turnover in per-sonnel must be anticipated inorder that skilled workers will beavailable to cover new territoryand to replace those who areremoved by retirement, deathand other causes. This is busi-ness and the osteopathic pro-fession is certainly a business.

OsteopathyReturning to the subject mat-

ter above we have the answersto these business needs. Osteo-pathy is a product that is in de-mand. Time has approved it andits most flattering complimenthas come from the opposition,who have, from the beginning,improved every opportunity totry to destroy it. Organizedosteopathy has been in the fry-ing pan since 1874 but the firehas been hotter lately. It is cer-tainly time now to begin to usesomething in the way of ex-tinguishers.

DifficultielsThe business of training men

and women in the art of deliver-ing osteopathy has been difficult.It would seem impossible for aman to push himself up hill in hisown whellbarrow but osteopathyhas done that. We have neverhad all that we needed in theway of training facilities. Withno endowiments and no public aidfrom tax money we have had toproduce osteopathic physicians atthe cost of their tuition only.It is a well known fact that thecost per student in securing themedical degree averages aboutten times the cost of producinga graduate in osteopathy. Thedifference is made up by endow-ments and state taxes. The para-dox in this is that in spite of thedifference in cost of educationthe osteopathic physician has beenon the average more successfulthan the average doctor oforthodox medicine. These factsare known to us and at the sametime we have appreciated the factthat we should make provisionfor more adequate training facili-ties. But, as an American peo-npie we are individually selfishand habitual procrastinators. Itusually takes a definite shock to

bring us out of our lethargy tothe point of putting our talk intoaction. That shock has been ad-ministered and our reaction toit will definitely determinewhether or not our science willbe trampled under foot perhapsto rise again but if so under dif-ferent management, or maintain-ed under our own control in theway that we want it developed.

FacilitiesThe factors of quality and

quantity are determined also bythe facilities for production. Wehave never been able to meetthe demand one hundred percent.At our rate of replacement andplacement in the past we couldnot meet this demand and thishas been due largely to our ownlack of organization in sellingour product to the younger gen-eration. The quality of our prod-uct depends entirely on our lead-ership in college and in our or-ganizations. Agreed policies inadministration must be carriedout and unity of thought on basicideas must be made paramount.Our quantity must be increasedand our' quality must be im-proved.

The few pointed statementsabove are merely condensationsof many articles and talks thathave been before you for years.Seven years ago we tried to im-press you with these same ideas.A few in Des Moines aided by afew alumni outside of Iowa work-ed until we were exhausted bothin mind and body trying to bringyou the facts. It is not too latenow but at this time it meansthat more has to be done in lesstime and more money has to beavailable.

Several years ago we talked ofa new building and the variousdepartments needed for adequateteaching. The Anatomical De-partment had plans that werelaughed at and not because theywere impractical but becausethey were impossible. We want-ed $50,000.00 for that depart-ment alone. We wanted a sepa-rate anatomical lecture room ad-jacent to a modern air cooled andventilated laboratory. This labor-atory to be equipped with re-frigeration for the specimens anda separate laboratory for re-search from an osteopathic stand-point. We wanted a library roomfor that department alone withall reference books and charts to-gether with prepared specimensfor study and we wanted timefor the presentation of this im-portant subject so that we couldtrain not only osteopathic phy-sicians in anatomy from a mani-pulative standpoint but also pro-vide special courses in surgicalanatomy. This can be done yetand not only in the departmentof anatomy but in the others alsobut it wall take money to pro-vide the facilities for such anideal teaching unit.

Osteopathy will not and cannotassume its rightful place untilits colleges are provided withevery modern means for com-plete training. Our degree ofutility is now being measured inmore ways than one and if we

Alumni Gifts to CollegeDr. A. E. Smith, of Youngs-

town, Ohio, during the last week,presented the college with askeleton which can be used forteaching purposes and makes acreditable addition to the in-struction materials of the De-partment of Anatomy.

Dr. Robert G. Hatchitt hasdonated to the college an osteo-pathic treatment table. Dr.Hatchitt has recently opened anew suite of offices in the LibertyBuilding in Des Moines, enlargedand nicely appointed.

The interest of Dr. Hatchitt,Dr. Sutton and Dr. Klein (else-where noted) in making usefulgifts to the college is genuine-ly appreciated. Equipment,which is now both expensive anddifficult to buy, makes one of thefinest ways in which alumni mayshow their interest and affectionfor the Alma Mater.

Add to these the splendidgestures of Dr. Bachman, Dr.Pauline Brown and Dr. Bos, in-dicating the continuing spirit ofalumni generosity. Moreover apeculiar type of warning was re-ceived-the library was asked notto buy a specific book which willbe released in Oetober because "Iwant to present it to the library."(Dr. Della B. Caldwell).

Dr. Bachman PresentsJournals to Library

The library was enriched dur-ing the past week by approxi-mately twelve volumes of theAmerican Journal of Obstetricsand Gynecology, many years ofthe A.O.A. Journal and ClinicalMedicine and Surgery. Dr. Bach-man has shown not only interest,but a true sense of values inpresenting these works so thatstudents may profit. The libraryis grateful for Dr. Bachman'scontribution.

Dr. Anderson PresentsColorimeter to Lab.

Dr. John S. Anderson, ofRiver Falls, Wisconsin, who hasalready contributed $1250.00, thislast week offered to the collegea new photoelectric colorimeterfor use in clinical laboratories.Such continued and faithful in-terest in the welfare and develop-ment of the college merits forDr. Anderson the gratitude of thecollege and the respect of hisfellow alumni.

cannot meet the standards setwe will be graded accordingly.If we wish osteopathy to continueinto the future as such we mustprovide the way now for thatperpetuation. As an American in-stitution of proven value we cer-tainly want it to live and serve.It is our obligation and our con-tribution to the American way oflife.

Effects of War on theDes Moines College

Recently a report was preparedfor another reason on the effectswhich the war has had on thevarious aspects of the Des Moinescollege. During the course ofthe Osteopathic Progress FundCampaign attention has been re-peatedly called to the necessityfor educational advancement.Items expanding and improvingour educational system have beenstressed. We have boasted justi-fiably about the renovation ofthe library and the laboratories.The compilation of the effects ofwar on our institution merelyserve to accentuate the extremesignificance of these severalprojects because they have beendone at a period in our historywhen they have been most diffi-cult to accoimplish.

EnrollmentEnrollment has decreased to

approximately 30% of our nor-mal total, indicating that our in-come from student tuitions is atan extremely low point. Thefaculty, because of the acceleratedprogram, is overburdened and,relative to financial returns fromprivate practice, is underpaid.The alumni owe a great debt ofgratitude to those men andwomen who are giving part oftheir time to instruction on aninsignificant salary in our col-legels.

ClinicThe number of students treat-

ing in our clinic has decreasedfrom approximately 90 to 24. Inspite of the fact that we haveonly a quarter of the number ofstudents in the clinic, the num-ber of new registrations in theclinic last year showed a decreaseof only 350. Although only one-fourth the usual number of stu-dents are treating, they are han-dling more than three-fourths ofa normal clinic load. The alumniowe a great debt of gratitude tothe student body now enrolled formaintaining a clinic service to theCity of Des Moines at so near-ly "par"

In spite of our unduly heavywar time schedule of classes, thecollege has felt an obligation toprovide instruction also in FirstAid. This has added to both theburden of the students and to theburden of the private practition-ers who have assumed respon-sibility for this instruction.

Although the foregoing doesnot constitute the complete reportwhich was filed, it will serve to

point out to some extent thestress under which the osteo-pathic colleges are operating dur-war time.

ApplicantsThe added duties of the Dean

in maintaining proper relationswith the Selective Service Sys-tem, necessitating reams of cor-respondence, is too obvious toneed emphasis. The number ofour applicants, who have appliedfor admission, paid a matricula-tion and were then forced to jointhe Armed Forces, is largeenough to be significant-largerby 300% than the number ofstudents we have lost to theSelective Service System.

The foregoing facts merit yourconsideration and the educationalinstitution from which yougraduated, perhaps in bettertimes, merits your continuedsupport. If you have not con-tributed to one of the education-al expansion funds, do not waitlonger to be solicited. The col-leges are pursuing a straightcourse toward excellence over arocky road.

OSTEOPATHY

PrinciplesIt is a matter of legislative

record that the question of thefuture of Osteopathy has beenof vital concern to both Osteo-pathic and Medical physicians. Itwill be freely admitted by Osteo-pathic Physicians and by thoseMedical Physicians who havegiven Osteopathy intelligent con-sideration that by "Osteopathy"is meant the Osteopathic per-sonnel, and not those physiologicalprinciples of healing which havebeen developed under the name"osteopathic."

Those principles announced byA. T. Still and supported by hisfollowers, namely, immunity andintrinsic ability of the body torecover from deleterious effectsof adverse environmental agents,are merely natural law -- ir-refutable, irrevocable and im-mutable. The art of manipula-tion, of giving direction and as-sistance to a human body in aless fortunate position to combatdisease, is osteopathic.

PhilosophyFully 80% of the osteopathic

student's curriculum must dupli-cate in content that of themedical student. Each is goingto see, diagnose, and treat thesame diseases. The approximate-ly 20% difference between osteo-pathic and medical curricula isthe reason for the existence ofthe Osteopathic Colleges.

Unfortunately the physiologicaland pharmacological philosophiestoward healing are antithetical.This means that, in spite of theinstitution of "courses" in mani-pulative therapy in medicalschools, "Osteopathy" cannot beborrowed from its proponents. Ifthis were not true organizedmedicine would not have spentin the past 50 years their physicaland financial energies in legisla-tive attempts to curb a com-

peting group. They would haverecognized the validity of theosteopathic principle, adopted it,taught it and would then haveleft the six, or four, or twoschools of Osteopathy without apurpose for existence.

So persistent has been the re-fusal of allopathic institutions torecognize not alone the professionof Osteopathy but even the prin-ciples of Osteopathy that it hasbecome the moral responsibilityof the osteopathic profession toperpetuate these principles. (And,paradoxically, substantiation forthe osteopathic concepts is drawngenerously from journals ofmedicine and more abstractbiological science.) Exclusion ofthe D.O. from utilization offacilities supported by publicmonies necessitates the existenceof Osteopathic Hospitals. Ex-clusion from the minds ofMedical Pedagogs of the physio-logical approach to healing de-mands separate schools. Dis-semination of information withinand outside the profession, direc-tion of unified effort for the pub-lic health and refutation of bothsubtle and open calumny requirenational, state and local osteo-pathic organizations. Hence, twoprofessions exist in competitonfor the desire to serve humanity.

ArtMoreover, two professions will

continue to exist until themedical profession shall haverecognized osteopathic concepts,until it shall have subscribed tothe philosophy which promptedthe establishment of these con-cepts in therapeusis, until itshall have incorporated, in itsstudent curriculum, training forthe execution in practice of theseprinciples. Such will be a tedioustask, requiring vitually a re-evolution of Osteopathy.

October 6Dr. Robert Bachman, Head of

the Department of Obstetrics andSupervisor of the ObstetricalClinic of Des Moines Still Col-lege, has submitted his resigna-tion effective at the close of thepresent semester, October 6th.

Dr. Bachman has been a mem-ber of the Des Moines collegestaff for 27 years and during thattime has built for the college astrong osteopathic clinic and awidely known Department of Ob-stetrics. Dr. Bachman is recog-nized as one of the foremost ob-stetricians in the osteopathic pro-fession and it is with great re-gret that the Des Moines col-lege relinquishes the obstetricaldirection which Dr. Bachman hasgiven through the years.

Dr. Bachman will accept anobstetrical post at the KirksvilleCollege of Osteopathy and Sur-gery. Applications are current-ly being received to fill thevacancy created by Dr. Bach-man's resignation.

The Passing of a Friend

"Thomas," college handyman,has passed away. Recentgraduates remember affectionate-ly Charles Thomas, cordially call-ed by everyone "the old man."The old man finally succumbed,after years of faithful service tothe Des Moines college, to aheart condition. His death oc-curred on Sunday morning,August 13th. The worth whichThomas did for the college asfaithful handy man is ephemeralin nature. But the spirit of co-operation and loyalty to the col-lege, which he spread among thestudents and friends, will long beremembered.

Vocational GuidanceThe Colleges

Why should a message on Voca-tional Guidance be repeatedly ad-dressed to the osteopathic pro-fession, when it is obvious thatthe problem is one for the col-leges and not for the professionat large? The answer is quitesimple. There are six osteo-pathic colleges which are recog-nized in the United States andthe total full-time personnelstaffing these organizations ishardly more than a hundred. Itis the task of the colleges toreach young men and womenwho have made no decision re-garding a professional career. Itis the task of the colleges to pro-vide vocational counsel for thesehundreds of thousands of youngmen and women. That obviouslyis an impossibility. Therefore,the colleges attempt to enroll allof the osteopathic profession asvocational guidance counsellors.Patently ten thousand interestedand energetic members of theprofession can make a morethorough coverage than thelimited college staffs. We, there-fore, eagerly seek the coopera-tion of every member of theprofession in this tremendousproblem.

RehabilitationLet us not be deluded by the

almost unbiquitous contention thatthe student problem in the osteo-pathic profession will be settledby the armistice. It is true thatmany of the prospective osteo-pathic students have entered theArmed Services. It is true alsothat many of those will seek ad-mission to the osteopathic col-leges upon their return. Greatnumbers of these will have theirentire professional education sub-sidized by the government, butkeep in mind that there are manyprofessions in which they maychoose training besides osteo-pathy. YOU INDIVIDUALLYARE DUTY BOUND TO ADVISEEACH RETURNING VETERANOF YOUR ACQUAINTANCE OFTHE OPPORTUNITIES WHICHOSTEOPATHY OFFERS. That isvirtually the only way by whichthe veterans may be interestedor be made aware of osteopathy.

Veterans AdministrationMany times the writer has been

asked whether the college was intouch with divisional branches ofthe Veterans Administration. Theanswer is "yes". Where pos-sible they have been contactedpersonally, otherwise they havebeen contacted by mail. What canthese offices do? They can help

the limited number of veterans,who seek their counsel, select aprofession. It is their duty toprovide individual security forthe returning veterans in what-ever enterprise they feel theveteran will succeed. Those menwho come from the Veterans Ad-ministration would undoubtedlybe good men-BUT FEW.

U. . . S.Through the filtering screen of

the United States EmploymentService, with its local and divi-sional branches throughout thecountry, there is and will be aredistribution of man power.Those thousands of young menand women, who we are toldhave chosen lucrative employ-ment during war rather thanpursuit of a profession, will beeligible to continue an osteo-pathic education, for example.You may help to persuade thesemen and women and help theU.S.E.S. in its task of distributingman power to the most suitablevocations.

High SchoolsHigh school boys and girls are

still impressionable. There hasbeen a tendency to decide amongthe profession that the two yearsof college required for entranceinto osteopathic colleges precludevocational guidance in the highschools. I should like to call tothe attention of the reader thatnow, even more than ever,high school personnel shouldbe apprised of the profes-sional advantages of osteopathy.This is true for two reasons-first, it will provide a greaternumber of students from whichthe osteopathic colleges mayselect, and, second, it will em-phasize preosteopathic training inthe minds of the faculties pro-viding such training in liberalarts colleges.

A survey oy the NationalRoster of Scientific and Spe-cialized Personnel pointed outthat there were only 76 studentscarrying on preosteopathic train-ing, and deferred from militaryservice for that reason. Sincethe institution of the combinedcurriculum plan at Iowa Wes-leyan College more than a fourthof that number have mare in-quiry. 'That alone clearly in-dicates what can be done in thehigh schools.

Public RelationsRepeatedly public relations

counsellors advise that thestrongest public relations workthat any organization can do issimple observation of the Gold-en Rule. Regard the public,prospective students and thosewho, for one reason or another,will never be prospective stu-dents, as potential friends of theprofession. The osteopathic pro-fession has grown from theoriginal class of 18 in 1892 tomore than 10,000. This growthhas been made possible by sci-entific worth of osteopathy andthe cordial attitude of the pub-lic for the profession. The pro-fession will continue to grow justso long as the profession itself iswilling to provide a public serv-ice and will grow faster as this

public service is advertised.Educational Facilities

Educational facilities in thecollege must be of prime im-portance in attracting the qualityof students whom we wish to in-clude in the osteopathic profes-sion. As a whole, alumni have re-sponded magnificently to the re-cent college campaigns. That fi-nancial support should make pos-sible continuing expansion and im-provement of educational facili-ties in the colleges. It is onething to follow the foregoing ad-vice on the selling of a bill ofgoods; it is equally important todeliver. We must, therefore, con-tinue our policy of educationaladvancement - increase thefaculty size, more rigorous selec-tion of students, betterment oflibrary and laboratory facilities,and expansion of clinical andhospital facilities. When the pro-fession has shown it is willing tobring about these advances yearafter year, a generous public willseek the opportunity of par-ticipating in the growth of osteo-pathy. Continue to set thestandards for public approbation.

The Actual WorkThe very nature of the selling

program that is on our handsnecessitates a cautious approach.The time involved by each in-dividual must be limited. If eachman in the profession were tomake three pointed contacts inhis own community and two pub-lic appearances a year before in-terested groups, we should havethe basis for an energetic andfar-reaching vocational guidanceprogram. It could require of oneindividual hardly more than fouror five hours a year, a delightfulbut brief period devoted to pro-fessional advancement.

Vocational LiteratureThe Central Office of the

A.O.A. will provide, on a mo-ment's notice, any of severalvery attractive and scholarlypieces of vocational literature.The cost is virtually negligible,the good which may be done isinestimable. Why not contactyour State Vocational GuidanceChairman, or the President ofyour State Society, or the Deanof your closest osteopathic col-lege and ask if you may notparticipate in their program ofvocational guidance. The pro-fession needs, more urgently thanever, your assistance.

Possibilities

LET'S TURN THEM INTOREALITIES

In this the first article I havewritten for the Log Book sincemy student days at Des MoinesStill College of Osteopathy wayback in the early twenties, Iwant to be entirely informal.I want it to be a sort of a let-ter of personal greeting fromthe new Dean to each studentand alumnus. I should like togive some of my impressions ofthe college and state some ofthe possibilities I see for thefuture. It is needless to saythat I should never have joinedthe staff at Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy had I notbeen favorably impressed bythe present as well as thefuture.

View PointsOsteopathic Education is un-

dergoing a new experience in therelevancy of its professional im-portance. It is out in front ofthe whole profession with the fullglare of the spotlight turnedupon it. Spotlights tend to high-light certain features and tocast others into shadow so thata single object presents dif-ferent pictures according to theangle from which it is viewed.

Fine Address BeforeLarge Audience

Highlights of the Commence-ment exercises of the Des MoinesStill College of Osteopathy, Octo-ber 6, 1944, was the address,"Growing Up" by Dr. Stanley B.Niles, President of Iowa Wes-leyan College. Brightening hisserious message with frequentwhimsical and humorous ref-erences, Dr. Niles built up histhesis of intellectual maturationby pointing out certain "rights'and "wrongs" of approach toproblems. Evasion, a commonbut unsatisfactory crutch insolving problems, was first in thediscussion. Following, a closeally of evasion, procrastinationbecame the victim of a rathervitriolic attack, pointed byhumorous anecdotes. The' thirdescape mechanism which sufferedan uneasy few minutes at thehands of Dr. Niles was rationaliza-tion. Not least among the topicsof his talk was substitution,whereby the original problem isnot attacked at all, but is re-placed by one which is simpler orby an attitude which is intendedto serve as an answer, suchas "throwing a tantrum." Dr.Niles assigned to the last methodof problem solution the expression"adult infantilism."

Faculty, friends and re-cent graduates felt that Dr. Nilesaddress was indeed distinguished.

ChoirOther features of the program

which received most favorablecomment were the renditions of"Hymn to the Night" and"America the Beautiful" by theRoosevelt High School a capellachoir, under the direction of MissLaura Duncan. The presenta-tions of these boys and girls weremasterfully done. Wayne Kuef-ner's solo appearance with thechoir was both dignified and dis-tinguished.

Additionally the program in-cluded Invocation by Dr. RobertBachman, a vocal number byMr. H. M. Cleveland and organmusic for the Processional andRecessional by Mrs. Samuel Gar-ton. To Dr. Bachman also fellthe. duties of vesting the gradu-ates with the hood, symbolic ofcompletion of the osteopathic cur-riculum. The class was presentedfor conferment of degrees byDean Owen, and the OsteopathicOath was administered and thedegrees were conferred by Presi-dent Clark.

Still College ClubAnnounces Program

The Still College Club, underthe direction of the Des MoinesStill College of Osteopathy, hasbegun its campaign for member-ship. The Still College Club hasfor the basic plank in its plat-form, support-of-the Des MoinesStill College of Osteopathy. Mem-bership in the club is provided ona $100.00 per year minimum basis.Support for the Still College Clubmeans contribution toward thecurrent operational expenses ofthe college. It is not intendedto provide extensive additions inlaboratory, clinical, or hospitalfacilities. It is intended to keepthe Des Moines Still Collegeoperating on the same high edu-cational plane it has achievedduring the past several years.

Previous AppealSeveral articles, beginning

February, 1944, appeared in theLog Book outlining the necessityfor such an organization. StillCollege Club chapters are nowbeing formed in the severalstates. Notable among these areIowa, Michigan and Washington.Our goal by January 1st is amembership of 500.

GuaranteeA membership of 500 by

January 1, 1945, will mean as-surance to the college of theactive support and interest of itsalumni in educational progress. Itwill mean also that the laity,whom we are currently approach-Ing for financial support in build-ing our clinical hospital, willbe assured that our own profes-sion is behind the school. Thisalone will be one of the biggestselling points in the campaignamong the laity for hospitalfunds. Before December 1steach alumnus will be approached,personally or by letter, to jointhe Still College Club. Your bestanswer is a check to the limitof your ability. Do not wait tobe coaxed. Join Now. You maysend your check directly to Dr.Hugh Clark, President, DesMoines Still College of Osteo-pathy SEND YOUR CHECKNOW.

POSSIBILITY(Continued from Page 1)

members of the profession lookat our osteopathic educationalsystem, we find the college sub-jected to a veritable barrage ofprofessional comment varyingfrom derogation to hyperboliccommendation, from blame topraise, and from outright re-fusal to contribute to the prog-ress campaigns to enthusiasticsupport. Between opposite polesof professional pessimism andoptomism lie many degrees oflight and shadow, tinted with butsand ifs and whens, each repre-senting the individual's pointof view and the relative dimnessor clarity of the lens of profes-sional idealism through which 'heviews the parade of progress.

ALUMNI..... The Dodo Bird.......

In six years of experience inosteopathic education I haie ob-served that much unwarrantedcriticism comes from the alumnuswho has never visited his collegesince the day of graduation. Hehas little realization of thechanges, additions and improve-ments that have been madethrough the years. He thinks ofthe college as it was in his stu-dent days and he still carries thegripes of those days with him.To those alumni who attendedDes Moines Still College of Osteo-pathy in the old building onLocust Street and have neverbeen back to see the present col-lege building, I merely want tosay, give us a visit before pass-ing critical comment.

To those graduates who' at-tended college at the Sixth Ave.location but who have not return-ed recently-you will be amazedat the new modern library,laboratories and x-ray equipment.Give us a visit.

Regardless of present deficien-cies and current needs, evidencesof improvement warrant com-mendation, and I, as a formerstudent who has just returned,certainly commend the college ad-ministration for the excellence ofcompleted and proposed improve-ments.

The Stuffed DuckThen there is the alumnus who

.was entirely satisfied and still iswith the status quo of his studentdays. Some how or other he gotby the boards and achieved adegree of financial success whichenables him to withdraw into thesmugness of his own security. Hehas been immune to the advancesof science and ignorant of theever increasing needs for changeand improvement. He joins noprofessional societies and attendsno graduate courses. He 'feels noobligation to his college and re-

pathic education and Des MoinesStill College of Osteopathy hasgrown. She has chosen thismethod of expressing the sin-cerity of her interest in pro-fessional education. Her en-thusiasm is inspiring and mustserve as a model for her manyfriends among the alumni of theDes Moines college.

fuses to contribute to any formof osteopathic progress for he hasno pride in professional advance-ment. He is completely com-placent in his therapeutic rut andcontented in his self centeredexistence.

The CowbirdWe also observe the individual

who sits on the side lines watch-ing the procession move forwardbut lending no help or supportto its progress. When asked tojoin up he replies with ifs andbuts and whens instead of apledge. He is waiting to see ifthe parade will be a success. Hiscontribution,will be too little andtoo late.

The Golden EagleThe great majority of our

alumni are men and women whoin student days and since gradua-tion seized every educational op-portunity for professional im-

--provenent.- -They- have -keptabreast of the times and arekeenly cognizant of scientificachievement and professionalneeds. They are grateful forthe opportunity which was open-ed to them through education inosteopathy and are conscious ofthe obligation which everyalumnus owes his alma mater.

Understanding the difficulties ofthe past they honor and respectthose who taught them theirart, and are charitable and con-structive in comment andcriticism. Their names are foundamong the Progress Fund Sub-scribers and especially on thesubscription lists of the $500 and$1000 clubs. With definite andfull realization of educationalneeds they are footing the bills ofprogress with a participating en-thusiasm.

Why Des Moines?I have been asked repeatedly

and quite bluntly "Why are yougoing to Des Moines?" My answerwas and is "'I see possibilities-gre:rt possibilities."

These possibilities are not inthe realm of mere chance inwhich the outcome depends onlady luck but are the kind of pos-sibilities which may be directedinto complete fullfillment.

The soundness of our principles,the excellence and loyalty of ourunderpaid and overworked facul-ties and the high quality of oureducational product (the osteo-pathic physician) has establisheda professional service for whichthe demand is ever increasing.

The growth and relative ex-excellence of osteopathic educa-tion without endowments and taxgrants has been phenomenal buthas left the colleges with certaindefinite needs which must be fill-ed if the increasing demands forosteopathic services are to bemet.

THE FUTUREAt Des Moines, I see the pos-

sibility of a new, modern, fullyequipped and cotmpletely staffedteaching clinic and hospital -with provisions for a diagnosticservice for referred patients. Acity population of 170,000 assuresan adequate supply of patientsfor clinical teaching.

With the erection of such a

clinic and hospital building, thereis the possibility of further ex-pansion and improvement of classrooms and laboratories in thepresent college building.

I see the possibility of a largerfaculty composed of basic scienceand clinical specialists. Recogni-tion of the need for enlargingthe faculty with greater spe-cialization and departmentaliza-tion is no reflection on the com-petency of present faculty mem-bers but is merely the acknowl-edgement of a necessary phase ofeducational progress. With over80 D.O.'s in Des Moines thereshould be little difficulty insecuring an adequate number ofclinical specialists for both classroom and clinical service.

At Des Moines-I also see thepossibility of a larger and strong-er. studlent bady. z;With the .fulfill-ment of the possibilities infaculty and facilities through thecontributions of loyal alumni andappreciative laymen, there shouldbe little difficulty in securingsufficient applications so that areasonable quota may be filledwith even greater selective dis-cretion in scholarship and pro-fessional promise.

In fact I see the possibility ofmaking Des Moines Still (Collegeof Osteopathy outstanding notonly in osteopathic education butin educational circles generally.

But this possibility can onlybe fulfilled if every alumnusjoins the .parade and boosts tothe limit of his means and onlywhen this is accomplished at DesMoines and all other colleges,can the future of osteopathiceducation be assured and the de-mands for osteopathic servicesbe met.

I am glad of the opportunityto help in making these pos-sibilities become realities, andif this were a letter I shouldclose "enthusiastically yours."

PICNIC(Continued from Page 1)

an arduous wrestling bout withMorpheus. Games started at oneo'clock, leading off with a ballgame between the seniors andjuniors and was a seesaw battlewith the juniors seeing and theseniors sawing. The aged anddecrepit seniors, through a fifthinning rally surged ahead, spark-ed by first baseman Lonnie Facto(borrowed by the seniors because,graduation was in the offing. Thehelp of rather questionableumpiring by Dr. Deitrick behindthe pitcher and Dr. Clark on thebases they had to admit was atleast a minor factor in their vic-tory. The juniors, however, weretoo tired to protest and they hadtheir finals to take too. Theseniors finally won 8 to 7.

Freshmen-SeniorsImmediately after the victory

over the juniors, the seniors werecarried on to the field with thehope of polishing off the fresh-men. The score at the end ofthe second inning, at which timethe game was called on account ofdarkness, was 25 to 2 in favorof the seniors. The pitching forthe freshman wasn't fancy, butthere was lots of it. The fresh-men used 14 pitchers and thenwent into a huddle to see if theycould not devise a modificationi ofHitler's robot bomb to stop thebatting practice of the seniors.Nothing could be done, however.

Canoe RaceThe respective classes of the

college were able to find twomembers each who had not takentheir Saturday night bath. Thesemen volunteered to enter the

canoe race. It was a half milecourse as the crow flies, but therewere no crows flying. Conse-quently any team that paddledless than three miles as a tiredfish would swim, won. This is oneof the items of Still Collegewhich will not be recorded in thehistory of Des Moines.

HorseshoesThis sport was limited to class

representatives who, in theiryounger days, had spent theirmornings ploughing and theirafternoons preparing for thefavorite pastime of all collegestudents. There is a little ques-tion as to the winner, but Presi-dent Clark, inasmuch as he iseditor of the Log Book, insistedthat he had supremacy, althoughclose competition was offered byObstetrician McGill, Ed Yogus,Francis Ayers, Wendell Taylor,Lester Raub and Walter Peter-son.

Picnic SupperScott Heatherington, as Presi-

dent of the Student-FacultyCouncil, had arranged a fine pic-nic supper which was atended bymost of the student body andmany of the faculty and practic-ing physicians. Those who werenot too tired to eat report thatit was bang-up good meal. A fewof the super-athletes remainedfor dancing. The last couple col-lapsed and was carried off aboutnine o'clock.

AnatomyDr. Kimberly, freshmen coach

and timer for the foot races, wasfaced on the day following thepicnic with numerous anatomicalproblems, chief among themn -"Why is it that we have so manymore muscles today than we hadyesterday?'''

Although the mathematics in-volved is somewhat complicated,the eventualy scoring showed theseniors to be far in the lead. Re-gardless of what method of scor-was used, the seniors have thecup and will hold it until thelower classes attract eithermore athletic women or fewer4 F's.

Dr. Wright, AlumniHead, Visits College

Dr. Russell M. Wright, Presi-dent of the National Alumni As-sociation, returned to Des MoinesOctober 8 and 9 for a brief andunexpected visit. Alumni Presi-dent Wright is highly pleasedwith the trend of advancementin educational procedures andfacilities at the College, and re-ports high enthusiasm amongalumni of his home state, Michi-gan.

Calling attention to the CranialTechnique course being offered atthe College October 16 to Novem-ber 5, Dr. Wright expressed theview that further contributionsof the college toward post-graduate study would be wel-come. Officials of the Collegefeel a pride in the support ofthe Des Moines Still Collegealumni and its able leader.

When explodingmines wounded a number of menadvancing through a heavilymined area, Captain Gurka, (thenfirst lieutenant) fearlessly pro-ceeded to their assistance andpromptly administered first aid.His gallant action and exemplaryconduct, despite great personaldanger, undoubtedly saved thelives of several of the wounded.

Captain Gurka was well quali-fied to treat the wounded men

since he is a graduate of theDes Moines Still College of Osteo-pathy and served his interneshipat the Des Moines, Iowa, Gen-eral hospital. A member of theOfficers Reserve, he receivednotification---that- -he--had -passedthe state board examinations herein the same mail that instruct-ed him to report for active mili-tary service with the First Divi-sion.

He took part in the initial in-vasions of North Africa and Siqilyand then was moved to England,where his unit trained until it

struck at the beachhead of Nor-

mandy with the first wave on

D-Day.

Osteopathic EducationFor Veterans Authorized

By Federal GovernmentUnder provisions established by federal laws for the vocation-

al rehabilitation and readjustment of ex-service men it is possible

for every young man and woman who was under twenty-five years

of age at the time of enlistment or induction and who has been

honorably discharged after a minimum of ninety days service to

obtain education or training in any vocation of his own choosing

with tuition, fees, supplies and maintenance furnished by the

federal government.

Three Already

Already three veterans are registered at Des Moines Still Col-lege as so called G. I. students and a number are completing theirpreosteopathic course at other colleges for entrance to their pro-fessional course at later dates. The college has received manyinquiries from service men concerning osteopathic education. Withthe ever increasing number of returned service men there shouldbe a veritable flood of inquiries providing every osteopathic physicianfamiliarizes himself with the provisions of the federal program andinterests competent veterans in osteopathie education.

Purposes of Laws

The laws establishing the provisions of the educational pro-gram for veterans are designed to serve two general purposes:

1. To rehabilitate the veteran who is vocationally handicapped

by a service incurred disability and thereby "restore" the em-ployability which has been lost by virtue of a handicap due to a

disability incurred or aggravated by service."2. To enable the veteran "whose education or training was

impeded, delayed, interrupted or interfered with by reason of his

entrance into service or who desires a refresher course" to continuesuch education or training.

Although the two programs are established by separate laws and

are designed for different purposes they are both administered by

the Veterans Administration which has regional offices in over fiftyprinciple cities of the United States. (See Log Book, September.)


Michigan AlumniSet High Goal

Plan to Carry CampaignTo States ImmediatelyDuring the meeting of the

Michigan State Society of Osteo-pathic Physicians and Surgeons,Des Moines Still College alumniof that state, set a goal of $50,-000 annual contribution to theCollege. At a luncheon meet-ing, Michigan alumni subscribed$10,000 with an average contribu-tion of approximately $155 perman.

State Alumni officers (Presi-dent, Donald Evans; Secretary,Howard A. Johnston; Treas-urer, John W. Eddy) are carry-ing the campaign district by dis-trict throughout the state and re-port good success in their initialefforts. They are being aided intheir state project by NationalAlumni Officers: Russell M.Wright, President and C. C.Auseon, Secretary, as well as bydistrict chairmen.

Everyone is urged to subscribeimmediately to this endeavor.

PurposeThe Living Endowment Pro-

gram of the Des Moines Still Col-lege of Osteopathy, has as its'purpose, support of operational.expenses of the College under itsprogram of balanced expansion.It will provide for:

1. Academic excellence, includ-ing teaching aids, laboratoryfacilities, expansion of thelibrary, enlargement of clini-cal facilities and institutionof research program andaddition of instructors intheir specialties.

2. Postgraduate program. Itwill be possible to presentgraduate and post-graduatework for D.O.'s who wishfurther training in the fieldof their choice at a reason-able cost.

3. Reorganization. E v i d e n c ethat the college is growingand that the profession isbehind the college 100% willattract laity to the Board ofTrustees so that financialmanagement of the Collegemay be handled independent-ly of personnel on the staff.(Continued on Page 2)

THE LOG

Vocational Rehabilitation

Public Law No. 16, 78th Congress provides vocational rehabilita-tion for those veterans whose employability has been lost becauseof a service connected disability. To be eligible for training underthis law, the veteran:

1. Must have been in active (military or naval service at anytime since December 6, 1941 and during the present war.

2. Must have an honorable discharge.3. Must have a pensionable disability incurred in or aggravated

by service.4. Must be in need of vocational rehabilitation to overcome

the handicap of such disability.Under this law the veteran is not permitted free choice of the

course he is to pursue but makes his selection in consultation withthe vocational guidance officer of the Veterans Administration onthe basis of previous education and experience and present ability,disability and desire. No course can exceed four years in lengthor extend beyond six years after termination of the present war.

"Maintenance and support during training and for two monthsafter employability has been determined will be provided throughincreased pension. .4 single person will receive a pension at therate of $80.00 per month, a married person $90.00 a month, with$5.00 a month for each dependent and an additional allotment inthe amount of $10.00 a month for each dependent parent. Tuition,bboks, supplies and other incidentals are furnished in institutionaltraining."

THE G. I. BILL

The Servicemen's Readjustment Act, Public Law 346, 78th Con-gress provides that the veteran, to be eligible for training, musthave served in active military or naval service on or after Septem-ber 16, 1940, for a period of 90 days or more (exclusive of certainArmy Specialized or Navy College training programs) and must havereceived an honorable discharge. If his period of service is lessthan 90 days he must have received a medical discharge becauseof actual service incurred disability.

The veteran who thus qualifies and who was not over twenty-five years of age at the time of entrance into service is entitledto one year of training plus an additional period equal to the lengthof his service. Veterans over twenty-five years of age at the timeof entrance into service must submit satisfactory evidence to showthat their education or training was actually impeded, delayed, in-terrupted or interfered with in order to receive more than oneyear of training

Under this law the veteran has practically free choice of thecourse of education and of any approved educational institutionwhether or not located in the state in which he resides. Tution,fees and supplies (maximum $500 per school year) and maintenanceallowance of $50 to $75 per month according to number of dependents.

Application

Des Moines Still College is approved by the Veterans Administra-tion for the training of veterans under either law. Applicationsfor vocational rehabilitation are filed on V. A. Form 1900 at thenearest regional office of the Veterans Administration. Applicationsfor training under the G. I. Bill are filed on V. A. Form 1950, (a)with the regional office where the case filed is located, (b) with theregional office in the state in which the educational institution islocated, or (c) with the educational institution. The veterains ,mayalready be enrolled in college before making application under theG. I. Bill. He must make application not later than two, years afterdischarge from service or the termination of the present war whichever is later.

These educational programs form an important phase of thereconversion program and provide a means of personal readjust-ment of the ex-service man. Veterans should be encouraged toavail themselves of this opportunity to prepare themselves for civilianemployment. What greater service can the; osteopathic physicianrender to the qualified veteran than to inform him of the oppor-tunities which are available in the study and practice of osteopathy?

Osteopathic ProgressFund Rolls On

Over 3,900 doctors of osteopa-thy have given once and manyof them more than once to thesupport of osteopathic institu-tions. The college goals havenot yet been met, but tremen-dous progress has been made.

As our doctors begin to figureout their income taxes for theyear 1944, they may find it pos-sible to reduce these taxes fur-ther by giving additional sumsto the college of their choice orto the Overall Fund. Make

Dr. R. Coker Pledges$500.00 to Foundation

Dr. R. Philip Coker, PanamaCity, Florida, this week pledged$500.00 for the OsteopathicProgess Fund for 1945. Dr.Coker recently took the graduatecourse in Cranial Technique atthe Des Moines college.

Average ContributionRemains High

The Living Endowment Fundof the Des Moines Still Collegeof Osteopathy, inaugurated inMichigan at the time of the an-nual meeting of the MichiganSociety, shows marked progress.The total of the fund now standsat $14,200.00 and contributionsare coming in daily. Maintenanceof the present rate of contribu-tions will mean an annual pledgeof support to the college of ap-proximately $85,000.00.

This fund is used for opera-tional expenses and for expan-sion in the several departmentsof the college, including the li-brary, for which two pledgeshave been earmarked.

MeaningWhen the profession subscribed

more than a million dollars tothe Osteopathic Progress Fundfor development of specific proj-ects within the several colleges,much of that million dollars wasgiven as an emergency fund.The Living Endowment contrib-utions, however, indicate a real-ization by the profession thatthe educational institutions can-not operate on tuition and clin-ic incomes alone. It is necessary,in order to maintain a standardof academic excellence that theosteopathic colleges match thetuition funds of the students byat least an equal amount. In: or-der to gain recognition of our in-stitutions in legislative, as wellas educational circles, it is neces-sary:

1. To enlarge the faculties inbasic science as well as clinicaldepartments.

2. Enlarge the library facil-ities.

3. Provide even greater clin-ical facilities than in the past.

4. Supply laboratory equip-ment adequate for successful in-struction in the several depart-ments.

5. Increase the teaching mu-se'ume exhibits in the departmentsof Anatomy, Physiology andPathology particularly.

6. Provide postgraduate in-

High School Health

A Critical ReviewThe August 21, 1944, edition of

"Education for Victory" publish-ed by the U. S. Office of Educa-tion, Federal Security Agency,Washington, D. C., under title of"School Health and PhysicalEducation - Scales for Tests forHigh-School Boys of Strength ofthe Abdomen and Back" carrieda rather impressive compilation.

Over fourteen columns of thepublication were devoted to theprinting of complete direction forconducting exercise tests andgrading. The sit-up, hanging-half-lever, leg-lift, forward-bend,and back-twist were brieflydescribed, and 3,150 gradationswere tabulated and printed to aidin accurately recording initialand subsequent grading of thestudents. The word "Strength,"as it appeared in the title, mustbe interpreted in its broadestsense; apparently it is meant toinclude endurance, agility, co-ordination, and ability to perceiveand follow directions. Progress isscaled on this basis.

Significance

The foregoing discussion is con-fusing. Several men spent manyman-hours standardizing sit-upsand devising methods of grading.If a student is stupid, refractory,or physically handicapped so thathe does his first 25 sit-ups incor-rectly, his initial grade is zeroIf he does 100 sit-ups correctly,what does it prove?

It should be obvious to anythinking physician that the valueof such a program may be two-fold. The first and least im-portant is the spirit of competi-tion yhich might be instilled inthe students. The second iSlargely potential. It lies in thegrading system if an intelligenteffort is made by the instructorto determine the etiologicalfactors behind the low gradebrackets. In many cases the4services of a physician must beavailable to evaluate and correctfactors responsible for subnormalgrades.

OpportunityThis plan of testing and grad-,

ing physical training classes isalready in effect in several of thenation's larger high schools.Modifications of it will doubtlessbe adopted in many others.Whether or not it is of the great-est possible value will dependlargely upon the initiative ofosteopathic physicians and osteo-pathic organizations. In anyevent, here is an opportunity formany young osteopathic phy-sicians to perform an invaluablepublic service, and at the sametime lay a firm foundation foifuture practice.

To know the coach of the localhigh school, and to care for hisathletic team is good. To knowthe Phys. Ed. director is one stepfurther toward extending yourservice in the community.

THE FROGBiological Paragon

Concepts of the science of life vary as widely as the blindmen's definitions of the elephant, approached from various sides.The trunk reminded one of a snake, another held the tail whichfelt Like a rope, a third was reminded of a tree as he felt asturdy leg. Biology may at the same time suggest worm, bugs,flowers and butterflies (the conventional comic strip professor-chasing them with a net) or perhaps the frog. In spite of theconvincing arguments of biological kinship, and organic evolution,seldom does one think of man as a symbol of things biological.

The ApproachThe frog rates highly as an ob-

ject of elementary form andfunction in biology at all levelsof education, from grade schoolto research specialist. Many areinclined to spurn the slimy greencreature presented to them fordissection or experimentation,and the cold shudders andscreams that have been renderedby enterprising coeds in his pres-ence would certainly reach some-where if placed end to end.

Many a beginning cadaver-conscious medical student like-wise assumes that all-for-the-sake-of-science look and that oh-if-mother-could-see-me-now feel-ing when he enters his firstcourse in physiology, only to dis-cover that the physiology of manis no more sacred than thephysiology of frogs. Half of theexperiments in laboratory manualsin medical (E. G., Cannon)physiology are based on the frog;the other half involve warmblooded vertebrates and man. Butthe disrespect for this infra-human fellows persists and onetakes a certain satisfaction inpassing on to things more human-minded.

Epitaph

Suppose we give the frog hisdue. An ode, a toast, a dedica-tion in recognition of this para-gon of animals, from a biologicalpoint of view. In emphasizingthe importance of selecting a suit-able animal for experimentWilliam Stirling, in his pookSome Apostles of Physiology(London: 1902), offers such arepitaph in these words:

"Consider: The 'missing linkof the capillaries was found irits lung by Malpighi. The firstaccurate descriptions of red bloodcorpuscles by Swammerdam, andlater by Leeuwenhoek, weremade on its blood. The bases oithe physiology of muscles wereestablished on its gastrocnemiusPfluger established that oxidationdoes take place in tissues ratherthan blood by his famous experi-ments on a frog with the bloodwashed out of its vessels and re-placed by normal saline solu-

tion. As to its heart, has it notbeen cut, ligatured, and stimu.lated with all forms of stimuli,electrical and chemical? Thenames of Descartes and Stanniusare associated with early studies,of its physiology. With it thebrothers Weber established thefirst experiment on cardiac inhibition. With it also Gaskellsolved the problem of the courseof accelerator and inhibitory im-pulses. On its spinal cordJohannes Muller confirmed thedoctrine of the functions of theanterior and posterior roots othe spinal nerve; and on a pieceof sciatic nerve-two inches long-Helmholtz measured the veloc-ity of the nerve impulse, aproblem that a few years beforehis great master J. Mulleldeclared to be impossible of solu-tion. Joseph Lister made earlyobservations on its pigment cells,and researches on the papillae olits tongue. Its tissues, corneaand otherwise, have been groundson which many a battle royal re-garding inflammation has beenconducted. And so on .. ."

More C:ontributionsToday the list of contributions

to biology by way of the frog hasbeen lengthened. Much has beenlearned in fields of experimentalembryology and tissue culture in-cluding organizers, tissue transplants, regeneration. Studies ofcapillary contractility have placeda greater emphasis than ever be-fore on the control influencecby these minute circulator units.In frogs Richards and his fellowsverified the filtration theory oglomerular functions with re-absorption in the tubules. Studiesof cilia, the movements of theintestine, and intestinal absorp-tion are among the more com-mon laboratory studies demonstrated in the frog. Finally, atest of pregnancy in man, moresensitive and more reliable thanthe Ascheim-Zondek test is madewith frogs (Xenopus laevis), afitting climax to a history richin service to mankind. But evenmore significant findings may re-ward our diligence. Salute thefrog!

'TWENTY FROGGIES WENT 'TO SCHOOL

"Twenty froggies went to school'(The box said "RUSH! LIVE FROGS! KEEP COOL!)

'Twenty coats of brown andgreen,Twenty vests all white and clean.'

"We must be on time," said they,"Late to lab., then late to play!"

(That is how we keep the rules,Where the froggies went to school).


Dr. R. H. SingletonSponsors Ninth Annual

Essay Prize ContestThe American Osteopathic As-

sociation has recently announcedthat for the ninth consecutiveyear, Dr. R. H. Singleton is spon-soring an essay contest for os-teopathic students. This contestis known as the "UndergraduateEssay Prize Contest" and is opento all undergraduate students inthe approved osteopathic col-leges. The subject for this yearis "The Value of OsteopathicManipulation in Prenatal Care."

AwardA cash prize of $25.00 will be

awarded to the author of thebest paper submitted in each col-lege in which there are four ormore contestants. If at leastfour colleges have a minimum offour contestants each, a grandprize of an additional $25.00 willbe awarded to the author of thepaper adjudged to be the bestamong the prize winning papersfrom the competing colleges.

RulesManuscripts should be type-

written, double-spaced, on oneside of the paper with liberalmargins and not more than 2000words in length. All referencesshould be listed. Manuscriptsmust be submitted with a num-ber instead of a name and ac-companied by a sealed envelopewith similar number containingthe name, address, and collegeof the contestant.

CommitteeThe committee for Des Moines

Still College is: M. D. Warner,L. L. Facto, Harry Barquist andCarl Waterbury. All papersmust be submitted to this com-mittee by April 1, 1945, as thewinning manuscript must be for-warded to the central office ofthe A. O. A. not later than April15, 1945.

A very useful and valuedphase of the physicians arma-mentarium is the ability to wiite'technical articles. Dr. Singleton'spurpose in sponsoring this contest is to encourage the develop-ment of that ability and to pro-mote original investigation andthought among osteopathic stu-dents. It is his desire that asmany undergraduates as possiblewill participate.

Notice of OpeningFor Physician

Mrs. J. George Heilemannwriting in behalf of her husband, Dr. J. G. Heilmann, Cold-water, Michigan, points out thatDr. Heilemann is in urgent needof a doctor to assume his officeand practice. His office is fullyequipped and Dr. Heilemann hasmaintained for many years an en-larged general practice. Dr.Heilemann has been in ill healthsince March, 1944, and has spentseveral weeks in the BattleCreek Osteopathic Hospital. Thoseinterested should apply to DrHeilemann directly.

7. Impress on the lay publicand proiession as well, the factthat osteopathic education ismore than adequate iand on alevel equal to that in Grade "A"medical colleges.

In order to accomplish theabove aims, it is necessary thatthe colleges be able to count onan annual support from the pro-fession. It is necessary thatthe profession contribute for thereason that we cannot expectlaity to build our colleges. Wemay reasonably expect the laityto contribute to special projectsin the way of buildings, clinicalfacilities, or research programs,after we have reached the pointwhere we know we ought to be.We cannot expect any significantamount of assistance until thattime.

THE FROG(Continued from Page 2)

They had seen the others bold,'Off to college' (they were told).

"Education must appeal!"(None could ever truth reveal).

So they gaily croaked and sang;How the echo rang and rang-

Back upon that fateful day,Twenty froggies went away!

Then into the lab. they went,Had their heads down sharply bent.

Swish! The needle went in deep-A feeble jerk, a husky peep.

Now they line the garbage can,Twenty corpses dead for man.

Mixed with sawdust, chalk, and mud-Twenty vests all stained with blood!

OUR FRIEND THE FROG

His mouth is but the adventOf our most objective search.His muscles then intrigue usWith a sudden pull or lurch.His heart and stomach both receiveA brief investigation,And then his circulation schemeGets due consideration.

We pith him and we probe himMost urgently, 'fore and aft'.We paint his leg with alkali,He rides the kymograph.We gouge his eyes and place oneIn a bath of adrenin.We fill a hypodermic luer-He gets pituitrin.

With his pupil widely openedAnd his color changed to dark,His glands all readjusted-His life is but a spark.All the frogs who died before himLie around with jaws ajogAs if to say in mockery,"Here lies your friend the frog!"

The Dean's Letter

Dear Alumnus:Nearly four months have pass-

ed since I joined the staff ofyour Alma Mater as your dean.A part of my time has been en-gaged in writing a new collegecatalog. It is now in the handsof the printer and will be readyfor distribution in the nearfuture. Our list of prospectivestudents has been sharply cur-tailed by the large number ofmen who have entered the armedforces and by others who havemoved without notice of changein address to enter various phasesof war work. It is not feasibleto send catalogs to their formeraddresses. Therefore, if youhave previously referred a pros-

Dr. M. D. Warner, Deanpective student who should re-ceive a catalog and whose ad-dress has been changed, will youplease let me know the new ad-dress. Also include the namesof any other desirable young menor women who are interested instudying osteopathy.

It is not enough to just sendnames and addresses. Youshould interview each prospect toascertain his or her ability andprofessional promise and toestablish an active interest in themind of the prospect so that thecollege literature will be receivedwith a degree of expectancy,otherwise the college spends goodmoney to write letters and mailliterature which all too oftengoes directly into the wastebasket.

Dean's letters and college cata-loguies can list requiriemnents andcourses and faculties and fees;they can ,answer questions andgive information; but it is theprofessional aadvice of vocationalguidance counselors and thefriendly interest, enthusiasm andexample of physicians that turnsprospects into osteopathic stu-dents..'

In referring the names of pros-pects, give as much informationas possible concerning personality,age, financial and scholasticability, and present sholasticstatus. Is the prospect acquaint-ed with osteopathy? Does he or

she need advice concerning pre-professional studies? Such infor-mation enables the dean to makea more personal contact.

Keep in mind that with presentpre-professional requirements, itis essential that the studentdefinitely plan his pre-profession-al course to include the requiredwork in English, Biology, Physics,and Chemistry, else he maywaste a semester or a year ofpreparatory effort. This alsoemphasizes the importance ofestablishing an interest in highschool students.

At the present time, manyyoung men and women are re-turning from service in the arm-ed forces. Practically every oneof them is entitled to educationand training under either theVocational Rehabilitation Act orthe G. I. Bill. Many of theseveterans already have collegecredit and are qualified for orlack only a portion of the pre-professional credit required forentrance into D. M. S. C. O.Most of them are seeking a voca-tional career. I have no way,except through you, of contact-ing these individuals and inform-ing them of the opportunitieswhich may be opened to them bystudying osteopathy. In myopinion, you have a duty to theveteran as well as to your col-lege in acquainting him with theprofessional possibilities which liein an osteopathic career.

I trust that our combined ef-forts will result in enrolling agood class at D. M. S. C. 0. nextFebruary twenty-sixth.

Cordially,M. D. Warner, Dean
