W ith in the r e a lm o f p re s e n t day m e m o ry , in fa ct not m o re than a y e a r and a fe w months ago, the H o ra c e Mann B u ildin g was f i r s t occupied b y the M assachu­ s etts C o lle g e o f O p to m etry . P r e v io u s to this occupation the c o lle g e was l o ­ cated on Huntington A ven u e and G ain sboro S tre e t. That location , bein g o f r e ­ doubtable m e m o ry at this p re s e n t date, is h e re b y d is re g a rd e d in the d iscu s­ sion o f the sch ool.

T h e H o ra c e Mann B u ildin g p r e v io u s ly owned by H a rv a rd U n iv e r s ity and then b y B oston U n iv e r s ity has p ro v e d to be an adequate site fo r the c o lle g e . In as­ m uch as the to ta l e n ro llm e n t o f the sch ool does not co n sist o f m any m o re than tw o-h u n dred p eop le, the fa c ilit ie s o f the bu ildin g - these being adequate le c ­ tu re ro o m s , la b o ra to r ie s , study room s and a lib r a r y plus the a d m in istra tive o ffic e s - accom m odate a ll con cern ed in a r e la t iv e ly luxurious m anner. The a re a in w hich this bu ilding is lo ca te d is one o f high land value and, th e re fo re , contains the m o r e ex p en sive shops and business establish m en ts o f the c ity .

H is t o r ic a lly the H o ra c e Mann B uilding holds a v e r y fo rm id a b le p osition in the edu cation al c ir c le s o f B oston . Th e use o f the name o f one o f the cou n try’ s m o s t outstanding edu cators re v e a ls the intentions o f the in itia l ow n ers. A l ­ though the building is o v e r h a lf a cen tu ry old, it has many y e a r s o f educational use ahead. It is s ig n ifica n t that o p tom etry has ensconced one o f its ten schools in a building o f this c a lib e r . P erh a p s the g r e a te s t p erio d o f u sefu ln ess has ju st begun fo r this v e n e ra b le and in its w ay im p re s s iv e fo r t r e s s o f p resen t d a y o p to m etric lea rn in g .

FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Fehrnstrom , Eastman, Gould, T a y lo r, M ille r , M a rz e lli

Although the Freshm an C lass constitutes part of the student body of the college, it has always been recogn ized that it is not actually in the O ptom etric student category. This in no way obfuscates the im portance of the Freshm an Class of any ye a r to the students that precede it and to the p rofession of O ptom etry as a whole. T h ere is a four ye a r in terval between freshm an and graduate, and those four years see many changes and p rogression s in O ptom etric w ork. The freshm an of today at the tim e o f his graduation is m ore advanced than his pred­ e c e s s o rs , and by being so, he fo rces a ll O ptom etrists to abandon in ertia and to p ro g re s s . Acting as a constant prod to the profession as a whole, the fre s h ­ man is the m ost im portant m em ber of the student body in a ll profession al schools, and to the p rofession as a whole he is God sent.

Dn the Threshold of Your Career The success of an optometrist depends upon more than sheer protessional brilliance . . . The responsibility of your profession today must con­ sist of more than viewing a patient as a pair of eyes to be measured and corrected . . . There is a broader responsibility to your patients than diagnosing and prescribing with precise ac­ curacy . . . There is a higher success than financial reward. There is the responsibility of keeping a great pro­ fession great . . .

of deserving and winning and

holding the trust and respect of the community . . . of upholding protessional ethics and contributing to the common good. To you, at the threshold of a protessional career America offers a priceless heritage of Free Enterprise and Opportunity. That is the essence of democracy, the superiority of the American way of life. Your highest professional obligation is to protect and susstain it.
