The Clinic

UR LARGE and comprehensive clinic constantly overtaxes our ability to adequately care for it. The general clinic, the acute diseases clinic and the clinics in special fields as obstetrics, gynecology, proctology, athletic injur- ies, eye, ear, nose and throat, surgery and pediatrics, offer available material for a student "man power" more than double our present enrollment. It is imperative that we capitalize for osteopathy this great mine of clinical oppor- tunities. The best way to acquire clinical knowledge after careful instruction is to "Learn by Doing". With very little effort we could double the amount of clinic cases now available. The clinic of the Des Moines Still College of Osteopathy has proven to be a most valuable teaching unit. ROBT. B.

Entrance Requirements IN KEEPING with what we believe to be sound pedagogy and certainly in step with modern educational trends, there is to be established a new and advanced requirement for admission. Beginning with the September class of 1938 and for subsequent classes, we will require one year of college work as a prerequisite for entrance, and beginning with the September class of 1940 and for subsequent classes, we will require two years college work as a pre- requisite for entrance. Details of subjects and semester hours will be an- nounced in the near future. Only three classes (January 1937, September 1937 and January 1938) will be matriculated before the first advance in entrance requirements. We have set up this: program sufficiently far in advance so as not to work a hardship on any one planning to enroll under our present requirements. MRS. K. M. ROBINSON and Information ' Secretary
