A TRIBUTE TO ,
DR. HARVEY,. STIFFLER

A TRIBUTE TO DR. HARVEY J. STIFFLER

Harvey was known as a trusted counsellor and friend

on the faculty by the students, a "straight-a~swer" gtiy

by his confreres among faculty and administration, and

a power of example amongst his fellow A.A. members.

On Sunday; May 3, 1981, Dr. Harvey J. Stiffler died of

cancer in University Hospital's Hannah House at the

age of 55. He had battled cancer for four years. Harvey

Stiffler was a most gifted and dedicated teacher, whose

door was always open to the needy student, or to just

those in want of a place to feel at home in and "rap" a

while. It was not uncommon for him to call each new

student by name on the first day of class, and came to

know students in a personal way. .

He received his Bachelor's Degree in Education from

Kent State University in 1950, his Master's Degree from

Western Reserve University in 1954 and his PH.D. in

Microbiology from Ohio State University in 1957. He

then taught at Case Western Reserve University Medi-

cal School until 1967, when he came to the Ohio College
of Podiatric Medicine.
Ii was in his fight against alcoholism that his inner
resolve of worship and ideals was envinced to all others.

~arv_ey join~d Alcoholics Anonymous in 1967, an orga-

anization which he so proudly worked for. Verily, he

be~ame beacon to his fellow members, keeping them
active and "on course", never afraid to "tell it like it is"

and always teaching others by the example he set.

All of us at the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine

members of A.A., and friends and relatives have bee~

touched by his radiant love of mankind. We shall for-

e_ver reme~b~r the ~reed by which he lived and died: To

fm~ God w1thm one s ow!l mind and heart, and to help

Gonoed'ss floevlleo.w man by bemg the means of expressing

We will miss you.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

There can be little doubt that without alumni Virginia Clark - Alumni Affairs
support, much of what goes on at the Ohio College
of Podiatric Medicine simply could not occur. In its Dr. Alan Wittenberg - Pres. Alumni Asso.

education at the Ohio College, the Alumni Associ- Alumni Association

Before 1915, anyone could call him or herself a
chiropodist and begin practice in the State of Ohio~
Those who were trained did so as apprentices o~
preceptors to an established chiropodist. There
have been chiropody offices in the Cleveland area
since the early 1870's.

In 1915, the Ohio legislature passed a bill to regu:..
late ancillary branches of medicine, which includ-
ed chiropody. During the next year a group of
Cleveland chiropodists and physicians recognized
the need for fromal training in chiropody and ap-
plied to the State Medical Board fora charter. Two
chiropodists, originally from New York City, Drs.
Max$. Harmolin and Cecil P. Beach, took the ini-
tiative. They enlisted the aid of Lester E. Siemon,
M.D., who was president of the Ohio State Medical
Board and who knew several local physicians who
would donate their time to teach in a new institu-
tion. Although chiropody, as practiced then, con-
sisted of the local treatment of corns, calluses, nail
problems and arch pain, it was recognized that far
more medical training was needed to practice.

The Ohio College of Chiropody (O.C.C.), a pri-
vate, non-profit institution, opened its doors on
September 23, 1916, with Dr. Siemon serving as
President until his death in 1944, Dr. Beach serving
as Clinic Director until his retirement in 1954 and
Dr. Harmolin serving as secretary only to become
Dean a few years later. In its very ·first year, the
college was located in the Republic Building at 647
Euclid Avenue in downtown Cleveland. The school
consisted of a lecture hall, a laboratory with one
microscope, and a foot clinic with eight treatment
chairs.

The original course in Chiropody was of one
year's duration, and all courses were given in the
evening. The college operated as a night school
until the late 1920's, as did many post secondary
schools in those days. The only admission require-
ments at that time were a high school diploma and
proof of good moral character.

The first class to graduate in 1917 consisted of 20
·stout-hearted students. In the same year the school
relocated to 1020 Euclid Avenue and expanded to a
two-year program, still holding evening classes.



The last two year class graduated in 1932 with
the curriculum thereafter consisting of three
years. Then, in 1938 with the cooperation of the
Council of Education, the entrance requirements
were increased to a minimum of one year in an
accredited college of arts and sciences. Thus, the
total program entailed four years of academic stud-
ies (including the three-year chiropody curricu-
lum) leading to the degree of Doctor of Surgical
Chiropody.

O.C.C. joined the ranks of intercollegiate sports
with a fencing team in the 30's and a basketball
team spanning the late 20's to 1941. Both teams
helped gain recognition for the college. In 1941,
whilst en route to play basketball against a small
college in southeastern Ohio, two of the player-
students were killed when their car skidded off an
icy road. This tragedy and the concomitant start of
World War II, forced O.C.C. to discontinue its bas-
ketball team. The College entered a time of finan-
cial crisis during World War II with drastically
decreased enrollment. The smallest class graduat-
ed in September 1944, and consisted of only 9 stu-
dents.

Following World War II, the College accepted
larger classes, and the curriculum in podiatry in-
creased to a four-year program. Many students
were accepted with two years or more of under-
graduate study, although only one year of college
was still the legal prerequisite for admission. Dr.
Bernard C. Egerter was named President of the
College and Max M. Pomerantz, M.D., became the
college's Academic Dean in 1956.

It was in the early 1950's that a movement began
to change the name of the profession from chiropo-
dy to podiatry. The National Association of Chi-
ropodists became the American Podiatry Associ-
ation, and the College name was changed to the
Ohio College of Podiatry in 1963. The term "podia-
try" was favored because it was felt that it more
accurately described the profession. The word "po-
diatry" is derived from the Greek word "pod",
meaning foot, and "iatros", meaning physician or
healer; hence, podiatry means the healing of the
foot.

ly their second year took place there. First yea;
as~es ~ere held on two floors of the old 1620
clid .Rvenue facility. Furthermore, the Class of
2 was the very last two-year class.
Memories of those school years remain vivid
d buoyant - indeed filled with a youthful zeal to
e present: Dr. Harmolin's opening address; be-
ing humbled by Senior Class "hazings"; Dr. H.
;:,Knowles (the only surviving graduate of the Class
of '17) lecturing about diagnosis; cramming for
mid-year exams; and, of course, the unsurpassed
exuberance for that very first day in clinic and for
clinical work.
The Golden Anniversary Class of 1932 has had
in the words of Dr. Harmolin, "the opportunity t~
witness the advancement in teaching and curricu-
lum leading to the development of a new seat of
Chiropodial learning." You have given your all to
our profession, and have been veritable pioneers
in establishing a legacy of ethics and dedication to
humanity, forever to be part of the profession of
podiatric medicine.
Congratulations to the Class of '32!

THE LEGACY OF
OCCOPODIAN

The recurring issuance of a College Annual is
always a source of considerable interest to me, in
view of the fact that for a period of forty years I
have been associated with some Annual from one
angle or another of my professional education.

I have always derived great pleasure in making
the comparison from year to year to note, first, the
progress of the institution itself, as indicated by
the annual, and second, as a cross section of the
talents and ingenuity of the little group of men
who have put these annuals forth.

At no time since the inception of the OCCOPO-
DIAN have I ever been other than proud of the
contents of these books. First, because of the spirit
displayed in their construction, next, because of
the ingenuity and ability manifested. I believe
these books have a proper place in the lives. of
every student body and they should stimulate a
legitimate competition toward carrying out the ad-
age that "improvement is the order of the age."

I extend my congratulations in advance, feeling
full well that this present effort will, if possible,
eclipse its predecessors. The aim should always be
high. The loyalty to the College should be ever
present, and in a strict sense every contributor
should feel honored in the permission given to for-
mulate the effort.
