Text of Dr. Distler's Address At 60th College Commencement

MAY I preface my remarks with a tribute to your outstanding history as a College of Osteopathy. Under your charter the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy was founded for the object and purpose of treating sick and injured persons and educating young men and women in the philosophy and teachings of the founder of osteopathy, Andrew T. Still. Through the years the ideals and traditions of your founders, Drs. 0. J. Snyder and Mason W. Pressley, have been excellently maintained. True to the spirit of the ideals of your founders, you have insisted that the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy be a place in which. surrounded by the best possible scientific equipment, young men and women may assemble to receive that scientific education which shall qualify them to fulfill their positions as servants to the sick. Your college has always maintained a place in the front rank of osteopathic colleges, and has fostered a high ·standard of specialized education.

As President of a small liberal arts college for men. a college whose founding antedates yours by more than a century which proudly calls itself a "Colonial College for Men," a college that has, as yours has. increased its curriculum through the years in keeping with the advances in science and scientific equipment. I have a respect for your history, for your educational ideals, and for your development. Your institution and mine, each working in its own way, have made and are continuing to make a rich contribution to the program of our country.

The commencement speaker one year beyond the mid-century addresses himself to a class of graduates for whom the pattern of their years has provided

PRINCIPALS AT 60th COMMENCEMENT OF THE COLLEGE

Group of leading participants in commencement ceremonies on June 13 included, left to right, Dr. C. Paul Snyder, of the College Board of Trustees, Dr. Guy Merryman, Board Vice-President; the Rev. Col. C. B. Du Bell, College chaplain; Dr. H. Walter Evans, Secretary of Board; Frederic H. Barth, D.Sc., President of the Board; and Dr. James M. Eaton, Treasurer of Board.

nothing but turmoil in the political and economic experience of the world. You were born under the shadow of the misunderstandings that resulted from vV orld War I. There is probably not one of vou who can remember a Russia not gripped by a Communist dictatorship. All of you have spent your formative years in the shadow of crisisHitler's march into Poland turning the phony war'' into a "hot" war, the dropping of the first atomic bomb. Your experience here has been spent in the midst of the "cold'' war. The times in which you have lived have known only upheaval-social, economic, and political. As children of your times you have witnessed vast reorganizations in the life of the vvorld.

These vast reorganizations in the life of the v.:orlcl have resulted in the assumption of world leadership by our own country. The United States has assumed this burden with fitting reluctance. But your life has seen the fulfillment of the age-old J)rophecy that the hope of the world lies in the West. You have been witnesses to the violent upheavals which thrust this role upon us. As young scientists, you must be aware of the responsibilities which the new role of our nation demands of you.

The fact that the United States has assumed world leadership brings to mind three questions :

First: Should we lead the world?

Second : Can we lead the world?

Third: How should we lead the vvorld?

For the first two questions I have brief answers. The third question requires an extended answer.

Should we lead the world? Yes. The sequence of events of your times requires it. The tendencies of the history of the western tradition approve it. The faith of free peoples everywhere confirms it. I need not point out that our leadership is being questioned by Russia. vVith her we would be ready to share the burdens of leadership and the loneliness of responsibility and decision, if she were capable of sharing, if she w·ere not lacking in maturity as a nation, if she were imbued with the political ideas of free people. From all evidence, indeed, we should lead the world.

My second question. Can we lead the world? Emphatically, yes. Consider our military power, our industrial technique and ingenuity. Remember our traditions as a free people. Call to mind the strength and vigor of our political ideals. Bear in mind our rich and varied background and heritage as an American people. Historically we have demonstrated our ability to estab-

lish and to preserve this country where men may live as free nwn and not as slaves and vassals. \A! e met our first challenge under Vvashington when we

A. DISTLER

won our independence; the second under Lincoln when we preserved our nation: and the third in two world conflicts when we provided the impetus for total victory. From all evidence, indeed, we can lead the world.

Now, my third question, How should we lead the world? Like the rich empires of the past, should we lead the world to dominate it and to control it? To play the master over it? To enrich ourselves and to enslave others? Decidedly, no. Such action on our part would be foreign to everything that we have lived, everything that we have dreamed of, and everything that we have hoped for in the history of our nation. The lesson of history should prove the folly of the path of power. Every nation which has tried this way has come to an unhappy encl. No, we must choose another way consistent with our historv. We must choose to serve the world and save it: and in saving it, we save ourselves. This is the only way. vVe must lead, but our must be a leadership of serv1ce.

To properly assume this leadership we must ready ourselves as a nation. In our preparations to play our new role as a nation, we must labor with courage and vigor in four major areas:

First, we must completely understand and whole-heartedlv believe in our way of life. The individual in a free society must be the basic tenet in our creed. On the surface all of this seems very simple, but at bottom it is very difficult. vVitness the events

of the present clay wherein are displayed the confusion of loyalties and the perversion of tradition and the undermining of faith.

Second, we must make our industrial machinery work. We must understand it. vVe must have industrial peace under laws which will regulate and not control our industrial endeavors.

Third, we must revamp and reorganize our out-moded political government. We must re-study and re-evaluate the proper functioning of all governmental areas : national, state, and local. vV e can no longer operate in the 20th century. with the out-moded political machinery of the 19th century.

Fourth, we must assess and define our individual job as educated Americans. To this major area, requiring courageous and vigorous labor, I invite your earnest attention.

We have achieved for ourselves and our nation a material prosperity the like of which the world has never seen. We have built for ourselves the highest standard of material living ever knovvn. Vv e have only 7% of the world's population, produce 40% of world's wealth, yet we use 85/c of all the automobiles made in the world, 50% of the radios. 54% of the refrigerators; indeed, similar percentages pertain to nearly all other material possessions. With this highest standard of living we have not produced the highest standard of happiness.

Another indication of our materialism is indicated in the manner in which we spend our money. vVe spend 20 billion dollars a vear or so on tobacco. alcohol, soap beauty preparations, more than one billion dollars on television. less than 3 billions on education, and less than 2 billions on all churches and charitable and characterbuilding organizations. By all indices of our life. by its literature, by its crime, its divorce rate. bv our des])erate effort to escape reality through a huge and shallow industry of entertainment, by our discontent and restlessness which sends us careening aimlessly over our highways-these are some evidences which lead one to feel that we are not a truly happy nation. vVhy? It seems to me that that which has inade us great as a nation, a deep religious faith in God, and a friendship for man, has been wearing somewhat thin. Instead of seeking the inner satisfaction within ourselves, within the family circle, within the church, vve have been dazzled with the paraphernalia of outer happiness, of an unexan1pled luxury which has drugged us. Instead of searching for truth, we are searching for a new gadget. Instead of the leadership of the philosopher and poets and thinkers. we have followed the

DR. THEODORE

leadership of tinseled Hollywood. What we need in America is a revival of individual morality. Calvin Coolidge put it most aptly when he said:

"We do not need more material development, -vve need more spiritual development. vV e do not need more intellectual power, we need more moral power. vVe do not need more knowledge, ·we need more character. We do not need more government, INe need more culture. vVe do not neecl more law, we needmore religion. vVe do not· need more of the things that are seen, -vve need more of the thinr·s that are unseen.

Theodore Roosevelt also made a significant contribution to this matter when he said, "In addition to a nation's body, there is also a nation's souL"

It seems to me that as educated citizens of a country engaged in world leadership we ought to do five things in term:; of our own lives. As educated citizens we ought:

First. to be significant factors in the moulding of opinion, in establishing right principles, proper judgments for arriving at appropriate conclusions by the process of right thinking and right feeling.

Second, to stand for something religious as members of a church-to be proud of the fact that we are members of an organized religious group which has not only individual principles, hut corporate principles as welL

Third, to stand for something politically-to participate as responsible citizens in the political life of the community. Above all, to vote. It is a sad commentary upon our sense of responsibility as citizens that -vve in our country, particularly in educated circles, neglect exercising that great privilege won for us on bloody battlefields by our forefathers.

Fourth, to provide leadership for all communitv activities-the church, the schools, tl;e Girls Scouts, the Campfire Girls, the Y.W.C.A., the Community Chest. the hospitals, the welfare agencies. Indeed, everything that is for the best of your community comes vvithin your provmce.

Fifth, to consider our time, our resources, ancl our talents as a trust from God, for which we shall be held to strict accountability. We must not build for ourselves aloi1e; vve must serve others with all that we have, willingly and gladly.

By observing these things, we shall find the real happiness of the home, the church, and the community. By practicing these things with courage and vigor, we shall be good citizens in

the full sense of the term. Then you and I shall be playing our part in readying ourselves for the world leadership which is now upon our country.

Young men and women of the Class of 1951, here at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy, you have been given the specialized training to enter with-

out handicap upon the role of a citizen of a country leading the world. A high trust has been committed into your hands. As servants to the sick you will be called upon to use the specialized training that you have received here with all of the skill and precision which you have at your command. But you

must also remember that life needs the whole person, that you must be active not only with the head but also with the heart; not only with the will, but also with the hand. Knowledge without the cultivation of the will, a good head with a bad heart, what can it avail you? To you it has been pointed out that our lives and our government depend not exclusively on useful knowledge, but on our character as citizens.

Thomas Jefferson wrote to James Madison. December 20. 1787: ·

"And ·say, finally, whether peace is best preserved by giving energy to the government, or information to the people. This last is the most certain, and the most legitimate engine of government. Educate and inform the whole mass of the people. Enable them to see that it is their interest to preserve peace and order, and they will preserve them. And it requires no very high degree of education to convince them of this. They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty." Surely, you are aware of the truth of this statement.

That you are entering upon your careers at a strategic time in the world's history need not be emphasized to you. You may even look upon this period

with some timidity and fear. Some historians have attempted to compare the times in which we live with that period of European history which disappeared into the Dark Ages ; other historians have felt that we are emerging from a Dark Age and that the Renaissance is before us. We cannot know. As Americans we can, however, agree with Emerson's statement of 120 years ago: "If there is any period one would desire to be born in, is it not the age of Revolution: when the old and the new stand side by side, and admit of being compared, when the energies of all men are searched by fear and hope: when the historic glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era. This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it .. ,

Even in the dark period of early Tudor England Lord Mountjoy could assure Erasmus that in England "ridet aether; exultant terra.'' So I can assure you that in the United States readying itself for the world leadership which it has assumed ''the heavens smile, and the earth rejoices." This time, like all times, is a very good one, for I am confident that you know what to do with it.

degree after the completion of his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology; Dr. Ralph A. Farrington, '44, completed his residency in Radiology; Dr. Dominic E. Marsico, '47, completed his residency in Internal Medicine ; Dr.

Morris R. Osattin, '47, completed his residency in Pathology ; Dr. Alice A. Swift, '34, completed her residency in Radiology; Dr. William L. Tannenbaum, '37, completed his Fellowship in Radiology.

All of these so honored spent the required time in their respective fields, plus fulfilling the necessary academic requirements of the college.

Examine School Children

Recently Governor John S. Fine. of Pennsylvania, signed an amendment to House Bill 331 which clears any misunderstanding about the rights of doctors of osteopathy to examine school children. The amendment states that D.O.'s can examine children in public, parochial and private schools within their lawful scope of practice in the state.

The law in Pennsylvania allows practice as taught in the colleges of osteopathy, except that major surgery may be practiced only after passing a special composite surgical board.

Academy Prize Winners

The Academy of Applied Osteopathy announces the winners in the Fourth Annual Academy Prize Contest. The subject for this year's Contest was ''The Role of the Osteopathic Lesion in Functional and Organic Adrenal Disorders." The Contest was open to all Junior and Senior students in the approved Colleges of Osteopathy.

The first prize of $100.00 was won by Herbert A. Goff of the Class of '51 at the Kirksville College of Osteopathy and Surgery: the second prize of $75.00 by Irvin J.

OPF Drive Opens

Mr. Lewis Chapman, Director of the Osteopathic Progress Fund, Central Office, has mailed out the first letter and information concerning the fund drive. The letter, from Dr. Vincent P. Carroll, national President, and its enclosures \vere sent to the more than 11,000 doctors in the profession.

of Dr. \iVilliam E. Brandt, of Conshohocken, as executive assistant to the president of the board.

Dr. Brandt, a widelv knovvn newspaper writer and con1mentator, recently resigned from the post of assistant to the president of Muhlenberg College to take over the position. He is a graduate of both Muhlenberg and the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy.

Dr. Daiber and Dr. Earl F. Rceman will act as co-directors of graduate education in the college expansion program adopted by the board in June.

This is the first step in the profession's appeal to the public to contribute to the maintenance, improvement and enlargement of osteopathy's educational facilities. N ovv that the fund drive is under way, Mr. Chapman emphasized, attainment of the $22,500,000 goal depends on the cooperation of the doctors in stimulating support within their own communities.

Colleges Get $45,000

The Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health has made grants of more than half a million through the Public Health service.

These grants are to schools to improve cancer training in future medical and osteopathic physicians· and dentists, and this is the first time the Osteopathic profession has been included in the plans.

Des .i\!Ioines Still College of Osteopathy and Surgery, Des Moines, Ia., vvas granted $25,000 and College of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons, Los Angeles. Calif., was given $20,000.

G.I.'s Get Extension

Although July 25, 1951 is the cutoff date for training under the G.I. Bill, special consideration has been given to the prospective osteopathic students by the administration.

The decision is that students who have completed preosteopathic training under the bill will be allowed to start osteopathic training whenever an accredited school has room for them, even after the deadline elate.

THE CLASS OF 1911- CAN YOU IDENTIFY THEM?

Here is a memory test for P.C.O. alumni. The picture reproduced above was found recently among the College archives. It portrays the members of the Class of 1911, as they posed specially on the steps of the old College building on Spring Garden street. Time has faded cut the picture, but the likenesses are still subject to identification. Can you tell who they are?
