SCHOLARSHIPS
Do you know that there are hundreds of
young men and women int he United States
who would like to become doctors and who
possess the necessary qualifications for this
service to humanity?
Yet most of these fail to realize their am-
bitions and many of the remainder will en-
counter delays in starting and in complet-
ing their education before engaging in
practise.
Why-Finances, nothing else. The cost
of osteopathic education is high and it
takes eight long years of hard study.
Financial aid to the student is nearly as
important as financial aid to the teaching
institutions. From the viewpoint of the
student it is, of course, more important.
Are you backing any student financially?
If you are not doing so and feel that you
could do so in a limited way, why not enter
or form a group for the purpose! Students from New Zealand visiting the college on February 27 during ;Operation

Dean's Letter
On June 4th, the degree, Doctor of Osteo-
pathy was conferred on fifty-six students
in Des Moines Still College of Osteopathy
and Surgery. On this day, fifty-six doc-
tors were born.
As is always the case in infancy, they
are going into a new world,-a professional
world with a minimum of experience. They
have but one advantage,-the basic train-
ing which has extended over a period of
four and a half calendar years.
These years have been devoted to study
in the basic sciences and their application
to Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery.
These four and one half long years have
suddenly become very short in retrospect.
As the young doctor emerges with his de-
gree, he realizes that the mountain of re-
quired knowledge appears as the size of a
mlole lill and hee wonders if he will be able
to do justice to his first patient.
The most brilliant student will find that
his fund of knowledge must be reclassified
for the most practical use. The clinical
years in college aim to show him how to
apply his knowledge.
Graduation is the first important progres-
sive step of the doctor. It is the first step of
a successful career. Success is not a goal to
be reached but rather a succession of pro-
gressive steps along a chosen path.

Look Around You
Do you see a classmate, teacher, business
associate, professional associate, fellow in-
structor, who doesn't do anything right?
Do you think he is dull? Does he appear to
be an authority on matters which shouldn't
concern him?
Is his general conduct questionable?
Does he procrastinate? Is he an- eager
beaver?
Does he assume too much responsibility?
Does he shirk responsibility? Does he talk
too much or not enuf?
Does he seem uncooperative? Does he
have objectionable personal habits? Does
he lack diplomacy? Is he unsatisfactory in
a host of other traits?
If he has any or all of these faults, he
is only human. But, being human, he has
two eyes.
Look earnestly and searchingly into either
eye and you will see there your own re-
flection. Then remember that you, too, are

Merry Christmas
The President Chats
"Joy to the World, the Christ is Born,"
and in keeping with the spirit of the season
may we reflect on the blessings of life which
cannot be purchased with gold-but are
everlasting in the life of man. In the words
of Laura Pembrook may we quote:

THE FINEST THINGS

The finest things in life are those
We neither sell nor buy;
A bursting bud, a bird that sings,
A glowing western sky;
A friend to love these are indeed
Well worth their weight in gold;
And may you know the gladness
Which such things forever hold.
Your friendship is a golden chain
Extending down the years;
Some links are joined in laughter
And another forged by tears,
But ever as the years go by
Its shining length still grows,
A bond of treasured memories
That old acquaintance knows.
One of the ironies of life is that we do
not realize our happiness while we have it.
The happy man is not seeking happiness.
He is not busy wrestling hard dollars from
other men, he is not seeking for fame,
and he is not shouldering others aside to
gain social prominence.
Those who seek happiness, miss it! Hap-
piness is the submerging of men's own ego
in unselfish service to others.
The world is sick of its mistakes and
hungry for peace and brotherhood. We
stand at the fork of the road. One road
leads to the total destruction of our whole
social fabric; the other road leads to the
old idea of brotherhood of man.

Song of Thanks
Thank God for Christmas radiance that
shines
From window and thru open door this night
In homes where folks are unafraid to send
Across the darkness festive beams of light.
Thank God for Christmas carols sung from
door
To door by children who may safely stand
Beneath an uninfested sky. Thank God
We dare keep Christmas merry in our land!
EIappy New Year
