4 / do hereby affirm my loyalty to the profession I am about to enter. I will be mindful alivays of my great responsibility to preserve the health and life of my patients, to retain their confidence and respect, both as a physician and a friend who will guard their secrets with scrupulous honor and fidelity, to perform faithfully my professional duties, to employ only those recognized methods of treatment consistent with good judgment and with my skills and ability, keeping in mind always nature's laws and the body's inherent capacity for recovery. I will be ever vigilant in aiding the general welfare of the com- munity, sustaining its laws and institutions, not engaging in those practices which will in any way bring shame or discredit upon my- OATH . . self or my profession.
I will give no deadly drugs to any, though it be asked of me. I will endeavor to work in accord with my colleagues in a spirit of progressive cooperation and never by word or by act cast imputa-
tions upon them or their rightful practices. I will look with respect and esteem upon all those who have taught me my art. To my college, I will be loyal and strive always for its best and for the interests of the students who will come after me.

DEDICATION "He that go\fins well lends the hliiid, but he that teaches gives them eyes." In the dedication of our Synapsis, we
the class of 1964 felt that \vc should choose a person with the following quali-
ties: a man who is both eager and sincere to help young aspiring physicians gain knowledge from those who ha\c passed before him; a man dedicated to teaching others so they may better serve a grateful yet demanding public; a physician whom neophyte physicians could look up to and draw experience from; a physician of the highest ethical and medical integrity and one who has helped build our osteopathic concepts. To the class of 1964, one individual not only met most of these criteria, but
rather fulfilled them all. In Doctor William Daiber the class found sincerity, honesty, eagerness and in- tegrity. Throughout our four years at P.C.O. Dr. Daiber has repeatedly shown his ability and sincerity in teaching us osteopathic medicine and therapy for which many years from now we shall all be grateful. To Doctor William Daiber we the class of 1964 extend our most sincere thanks and appreciation. We all hope that we can live up to your teaching and be worthy of all your time and effort. Sincerely, The Class of 1964 ANGUS G. CATHIE D.O. ; M.Sc. (ANAT)
IN APPRECIATION
"... and gladly would he learn and gladly teach.'' Dr. Angus Cathie in his ca- pacity as teacher and physician has defined for us the fundamental principles of medicine and the art of their application. Through the clarity of his exposition we have unfolded before us the whole pattern for a full and satisfying life of service to mankind. We are sincerely appreciative of his counsels, his understanding and his zealous concern for us as students and future osteopathic physicians. For all these reasons and many more we owe him much more gratitude than we can express in these few lines. Thus it is with the greatest of pleasure that we recognize him in this small measure.

Lambda Omicron Gamma Obstetrics Gynecology Society JAMES P. TIERNEY Class Chairman 4 years SINCERE THANKS FROM YOUR CLASSMATES IRVING J. KLEIX Class Treasurer 4 years WILBUR P. LUTZ D.O., F.A.C.O.I. We in the osteopathic profession suf- fered a great loss this past year with the passing of Dr. Wilbur Lutz. During' our course of study here we have been exposed to many individuals but Dr. Lutz is one who will be remem- bered by all long after the thoughts of others have passed from our minds. His contributions to the art and science of osteopathic medicine are well known throughout the profession. He was truly an eternal student, ever eager to learn and still more eager to communicate his knowledge to us. He shall always be remembered not only as a skilled diagnostician but also as a very warm and devoted friend to all. VICTOR R. FISHER D.O., M.Sc. (OSTEO) F.A.C.O.I. While we as a class were not fortunate enough to be exposed to the superb skill and knowledge of Dr. Victor Fisher per- sonally, the class of 1964 is nonetheless acutely aware of his great abilities. He succeeded in transmitting many of his skills to the very same individuals who are today passing them on to us. Therefore it is with the utmost enthusi- asm that we shall strive to emulate this skilled physician. His achievements shall live on as a testimonial of his wonderful ability.

Now at last we would put cation of high moral & spiritual values in the practice of three years of intensive didactic training to fruitful use in medicine & everyday living. the clerkship year. Now we would match our wits with the forces of disease at work in the sick body. But alas, during the quiet hours all we matched were pennies. But even as we went from vein to vein & from blood pressure reading to "bedside technique," we learned our medicine. We gleaned as much knowledge as was possible from every patient & from eveiy situation (even Newsweek maga- zine). While on Obstetrics, many of us actually got to deliver babies & not just on the multiparous & mutilated manne- quin. Surgical Scrub was more than just an opportunity to hold retractors & develop varicosities of the lower extrem- ity ; it was also a personal battle to prevent contamination. Some of us enjoyed the clinics most of all. We shall prob- ably all remember the expression, "Mah Boof Doctor", & the elderly female patient who winked when told she had acute angina. And while Dr. Stiegler was enforcing the Rule of the Artery as Supreme, Dr. Rosen, with his biting sarcasm, also taught us medicine. The fourth year was also the time for the introduction of an expression for which we hope we will not be remember- ed. That peculiar combination of an expiratory grunt and a dyspeptic blech—Brrrrp—that was frequently heard through the halls of P.C.O., sometimes during the most peculiar situations And so our four years at P.
