Dear Fellow Alumni: This year marks the 50th Anniversary of formal Osteopathic Education. We can think what we choose, or place our values where we choose, but the facts are that Osteopathic Medicine can advance only as does Osteopathic Education. Let us exert ourselves to make of the 50th Anniversary Celebration another Com­ Phi ad mencement-,a day on New Beginnings, and further resolve to make Osteopathic fOt Education pre-eminent! • Fraternally, OTTERBEIN DRESSLER (_ llllltl<: lhc1t1'1 f Chairman, Committee on Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration. S )[ h 11111 t 1 m f F tmdm f thl c u att n " ~ ..... -~~ _.ltftl .... ___...... _ _ _.__ ..<-:, ...... __ ii-J---4.A~"' - it's leadership that counts!

Whether in calm or in stress, the man who is distinctive and out­ standing succeeds because he has risen above the level of mediocrity.

Our slogan is ED AT L.tADER HIP

P. C. 0. trains for service that is above the commonplace.

It is a distinctive institution, with the definite educational objective of preparing ambitious youth for useful professional careers.

Its admissions are selective; its curricula in conformity with the highest academic standards.

In war or in peace, P . C . 0. stands conspicuously as a leading ex­ ponent of osteopathic principle and practice.

The next Freshman class will matriculate April 5, 194 3.
