T IS perhaps significant, at a time when we are thinking and planning for the Fiftieth Anniversary of the founding of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy, that we should also be thinking and planning the founding of a Graduate School at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy.
For a long time the administration of the College and many of the Alumni have given serious thought and consideration to the need of an established, accepted and accredited graduate school and the problems incident to its establishment and administration. The crystallization of the thoughts and desires along this line, is credited to a group of Alumni, local and afield. For more than a year they have been silently active, until, in April of this year, their thoughts were so formulated that the plan was first presented to a meeting of the Alumni at the Eastern Convention, and later, on May 22nd, to the Board of Trustees of the College, when the plan was, m principle, approved by the Board of Trustees.
The plan is now in Committee for the purposes of working out further details of its establishment and of its administration. It is the hope of all of those who are actively engaged in the project, as well as of those who are on the side lines, that the workable plan will be operative by the fall of 1949. It should be said in favor of those who are devoting their time to this very important educational and professional problem, that they are cognizant of the fact that it is one thing to establish a Graduate School and another thing to administer it; that their job goes a little bit further than the responsibility of the fellow in the bleachers who wants a "touch-down"; they are conscious of the things that are required in order for them to score and that it's done according to rules, and that they have little to do with the making of these rules; that these things do not spring into existence and remain there by resolutions alone.
It should also be said in favor of those who are working so diligently toward this end, that they are entitled to all the time that is required in order to present the founded school and its workable administration-notwithstanding the individual demand for speed, for they are aware of the imperfections of the past, and the irreparable damage that can be done by hasty and incorrect conclusions. When one becomes truly bent upon the accomplishment of the graduate school he
cannot help but seek from many sources the information that is needed to carry it out, and he would never overlook or ignore factors that might prevent the establishment or adversely affect it as a going enterprise. Establishment of the Graduate School is important, the time within which it should be in operation is of relatively minor importance compared to its existence; that it should remain in existence, be accepted, worth while and meet the demands of the profession and of the Alumni is of paramount importance.
The Graduate School, no less than the Undergraduate School, should be a monument to the future of Osteopathy and its profession, and its founding should be upon sound policies and principles and far above individual and factional differences. If the existence of the Graduate School is of importance, then its future, no less than that of the future of the undergraduate school, is of importance, and those of us who desire it most must temper our demands for results and for
speed with a sympathetic understanding of the multiplicity of problems with which the planners are confronted, the solution of which, of necessity, becomes their responsibility.
In this project, as all enterprises, the results are controlled by the laws of nature. Nothing merely exists, or if it does, not for long, unless it is planned, fostered and cultivated. What we get in the end will be what we plant in the begmmng.
Even when the announcement comes that the Graduate School is open, and operating, it would be a rare and unusual circumstance in the field of education, if it could be pointed to with finality. Education does not work that way. Education is a process of evolution, slow and sure, backward or forward, but never at a stand-still, and never at an end.

T IS NOT an easy task to create an endowment. It is not easy, because at the start the obstacles appear to be unsurmountable and the amount to be worth while, 1s all but hopeless; because the establishment must begin at home, and to give the endowment its initial existence, funds must be allocated to it at most inopportune times when they are sorely needed elsewhere and in the day to clay existence of the institution; because such a program looks to the future, and the problems of the present are apt to appear to be more urgent for solution.
Tt is most difficult in a young institution which from clay to day is expected to perform, in full measure, all the requirements properly imposed hy the public, governmental approving authorities and agencies, hy an advancing profession; and by a multiplying Alumni. It is most difficult because the fulfillment, while requiring leadership, at the same time demands of all of us those collective and many qualities of integrity of purpose, of forthrightness and of application, such as are always reC]uired in the doing of things worth while.
One might ask what good and useful purpose does an Endowment serve professional schools today? The answer is found in the answer to another. What is the real function and the true relation of the professional College to its profession? Too often the College is thought of as performing a service to the individual, and as a place where one. for a fee, may obtain an education. If that is its sole and only function there is not much justification for an endowment.
There is, however, a much greater function; that of advancing, improving and perpetuating a useful profession, into which its graduates may enter with personal confidence of success, and with the knowledge that in the practice of his profession he may perform a service to humanity. If the latter is recognized as the function of the College, then there is evident a necessity for the endowment of such an institution, for such an institution is then a center of the profession upon which the profession is dependent and without such institutions the profession itself will in time cease to exist. The College must have perpetual existence. if its profession is to have a like existence.
It is mostly wishful thinking that endowments just grow, or all that is needed is that the institution he in existence. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, this is not true. The institution itself must not only have existence, hut it must also have a favorable past, and in addition to this the institution must have a plan for its future. Endowments do not come into existence without effort and planning. If the folks who are nearest to and most interested in and who are fully aware of the value of the services of the institution, do not feel called upon to make the effort. and apply themselves, and the available facilities. toward the enrlmvment goal, why should the
stranger in the midst be so concerned by the mere writing of a check, attempt to give the plan as well as the money.
Most of the professional colleges in the United States are endowed in various ways and in varying amounts, depending in a large measure upon the extent of the service performed, the length of time they have been in existence, and the extent of their individual plan in that direction. The advantages to these institutions that have endowments, in times of stress, have been immeasurable, but for the most part the greater advantage has been to relieve those institutions from financial embarrassment, so that the times of stress are to them, either non-existent, or so well cushioned by the application of endowment incomes that there is little or no embarrassment. But these institutions, as old as some of them are, have them chiefly because of personal interest and the initiative of the institutional trustees, and others, in the establishment and promotion of the endowment plan. They did not acquire their endowments by accident. ·
Realizing the soundness of these principles and the necessity for so doing, there was created in December of 1945 the Osteopathic Foundation of Philadelphia, a non-profit corporation, having as one of its functions the establishment of a permanent and continuing endowment fund, the income from which is to be applied for the benefit of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy.
In this Endowment Fund there is now more than $23,000. The amount itself as an endowment is insignificant. The relatively small amount, however, is not
its condemnation. The significant thing is that in 1945 there came into existence an Endowment plan, and in two and one-half years it has reached this amount, and that without the plan there would not be any endowment.
It is significant, too, in that there is a plan to which all or any one can give who desire. There is no need for any one to be embarrassed when asked, "To what plan can I contribute?" This amount did not come into existence because of any large gifts, but rather from two sources: (a) according to the definite plan of the Foundation one-half of all funds given generally to the College is allocated to and becomes a part of the Endowment; (b) gifts to the College and specifically designated by the contributor for the Endowment Fund.
The funds which now constitute the Endowment and the interest exhibited by the Alumni and the graduating classes, is some indication of the future of the entire
plan of the Osteopathic Foundation, and in particular its Endowment Fund for rhe College. The Class of 1946 pledged $36,162.50; the Class of 1947, $28,350.00; the Class of 1948, $9,000 (a total of $73,512.50) to this Endowment Fund, some of which has already been paid, and the payments are reflected in the $23,000 now in the Fund. The Class of 1923 at its reunion this June gave $550.00 to the endowment fund.
While we may think of the Endowment plan as something difficult to accomplish, yet the contrary is true. It is as easy as it seems difficult. It only needs the planning, a little action, some confidence in those about us. and an understanding of its needs and purposes; having these things, then only the time is required for its accomplishment.

IN THE final book of the Bible, there is the description of a city foursquare.
It is possible for a life to be foursquare. It is possible for a civilization to live in four great dimensions-work, justice, freedom and moral power. Let us allow these four ideals to pass in review before our minds and see what they might
mean to our thinking and living.
Why do so many people give work such a wide berth? They appear to regard it as a plague to be avoided! This attitude is regrettable for work is a great emancipator. It is the key to high adventure. Many students do not find a course interesting or thrilling because they never work at it. We need to give ourselves to a thing or a cause to have a rich reward. Recently I heard of a doctor who spent most of his time playing checkers. He had had a brilliant record in college and medical school, but patients did not come to him. They were suspicious of a doctor who had so much time for checkers. They surmised he was not working over his medical courses or keeping up in his medical journals.
The second ideal is justice. Justice is a strong-sounding word but, more significant still, justice is the moral quality of the universe. It was the prophet, Amos, who identified justice with the character of God. The Almighty said, "Let justice roll down as water and righteousness as a mighty stream." Justice, then, is an integral part of the very structure of our universe and since it is an integral part of our very universe we clare not fool around with justice. We can join hands with justice and have happiness and peace or we can defy justice

(Continued from Page 113) and be broken on the moral law of the universe. In every .age and in every condition when we take our stand with justice we take on the character of God. ln the battle against ignorance and stupidity we can all be Knights of the Holy Grail. There are a hundred calls and more to ride out upon the Field of Honor to battle for right and justice.
The thircl ideal is freedom. Freedom is an American tradition. It is illustrated hy our forefathers who came over in the J\/[ayflovver and later by the indignant citizens of Boston \vho threw the tea into the harbor. Patrick Henry's famous statement. "Give me libei·ty or give me death," epitomizes the convictions of our forefathers to whom freedom was a very precious thing. It was more preciou's to some of them than life itself. During the war, Roosevelt ancl Churchill met somewhere in the Atlantic ancl drew up what is known as the Atlantic Charter. The heart of the Atlantic Charter has to clo with four freedoms. Already we have been hypocritical in our allegiance to these freedoms, but once acclaimed they will haunt us until they come true. But freedom. even in America, is not a gift. Our forefathers had to achieve it and we must preserve it. What to them was a passion to us is a possession, but liberty at any age is at the price of eternal vigilance.
The fourth quality is mural puwer. All of us are aware of the pli.ysical universe that impinges upon us. Just as certainly there is a moral universe that undergirds us. A wise and kindly man raises the disturbing question whether we in America today are not living on the moral capital reserves of our fathers and mothers and of their parents. Are we handing on to the next generation faith, character and ideals in quality and quantity equal to those which were given to us? If not. we can anticipate empty and unhappy lives for many of our children and a sad deterioration of our community life. If the man is right, it is truly tragic for it is the moral universe that _gives meaning and significance to our ·community life.
<J5.3 IJ3.3 91.5
lt seems quite clear that the thing which we call giving ourselves in service tu our fellow beings is one of the structural characteristics of our moral universe. vVoodrow \Vilson expressed the moral law of life in this way when speaking to the students of Swarthmore College: "You are here to enrich the world and you impoverish yourselves if you fail in this attempt."

EDITOR'S NOTE-This is the fourteenth of a series of thumb-nail sketches of P.C.O. alumni who are carrying the Iorch of Osteopathy and for !he Philadelphia College-men and women out in !he field whose everyday lives have no glamorous side, but whose devotion and fidelity to duty make them a credit to their profession and to the college they represent.
SELECTED by the Editorial Board of the OsTEOPATHIC DIGEST as the outstanding alumnus of the Philadelphia College for this issue of the DIGEST is DR. HAROLD M. OsBORN, President of the Illinois Osteopathic Association, and practicing osteopathic physician of Champaign, IlL, who bids fair to achieve in the field of Osteopathy the fame he attained in track athletics as one of the most famous of jumpers and all-round athletes.
Dr. Osborn, who vvas assistant track coach at the University of Illinois, 1940 to 1945, was graduated from the universitv in 1922 after a brilliant career athletics. Continuing his competition after leaving the University, Dr. Osborn held six world's records, two Olympic championships, twenty United States championships, one British. two Canadian titles and other European championships. Even today his standing high jump indoors of 5 feet 6 inches made at St. Louis in 1936 is the best that has ever been accomplished.
Dr. Osborn's world record in the high jump, 6 feet 8J:4 inches, was established on Illinois field, May 27, 1924, during a tryout for the American Olympic team. This record stood for many years.
As late as 1936 Dr. Osborn cleared 6 feet inches, one of his best jumps, although not a world's record.
In the Olympics at Paris in 1924, Dr. Osborn shared with Bud Houser of Southern California. the distinction of being the only Americans to vvin two events. Dr. Osborn set a nevv Olympic record of 6 feet 6 inches and piling up a new world's and Olympic record of 7710 points in the decathlon.
Dr. Osborn was graduated from PCO in 1937, beginning practice in Champaign in 1931. He was Trustee, Fifth District, Illinois Osteopathic Association, 1945-47; president-elect, 1947-48; State delegate to A.O.A., 1947 and 1948. He has been actively connected with the Osteopathic Progress Fund in the Fifth District, and now the State of Illinois, and with the Perrnanent Home Fund.
The DIGEST salutes a noted athlete and outstanding leader in the Osteopathic profession.
