Dr. Thomas J. Fletcher, born in New Castle,
Pennsylvania, received his Podiatric educa-
tion at the Illinois College of Podiatry in Chi-
cago, Illinois, graduating in 1916. He prac-
ticed in New Castle, Pennsylvania, for many
years until receiving the directorship of the
Cleveland Foot Clinic in March of 1957. Dur-
ing his nine years at the college, Dr. Fletcher
greatly inspired many students in their life's
work. He is now enjoying a well earned rest
after his retirement as of March 1, 1966.

Director Of The Clinic

Dr. James A. Conforti is well known to
those within and out of the Podiatry profes-
sion. As past president of the American
Podiatry Association and a member of the
President's Health Council he has attained
stature in the eyes of many. Dr. Conforti was
offered, and accepted, the directorship of the
Cleveland Foot Clinic and is presently per-
forming his duties with great enthusiasm. If
past performance can be taken as an example
of things to come, then the students in the
clinic will enjoy the many benefits of a good
and competent leader.

To A Great Man • • •

None of us who have gone through the Ohio Col-
lege of Podiatry and the Cleveland Foot Clinic are
likely to forget Dr. Thomas J. Fletcher. Being Direc-
tor of Clinics from March 1, 1957 to March 1, 1966,
Dr. Fletcher instilled upon the minds of many the
importance of hard work as well as a good basic
knowledge of clinical Podiatry.

Born in New Castle, Pennsylvania, Dr. Fletcher
graduated from the Illinois College of Podiatry in
1916. He practiced in New Castle from where he be-
came active in many national Podiatry organizations.
He is also one of the original members of the Big
Ten Club.

We are very grateful to Dr. Fletcher for the im-
mense amounts of time and energy that he spent with
us here at the college. To him we owe the debt of
our livelihood.

ship of the clinic in 1957.

Diagnosis and Treatment

The Podiatry department of the Cleveland Foot Clinic
is equipped with thirty chairs in three rooms and is capa-
ble of treating approximately one hundred patients per
hour. This department is broken up into three rooms, one
being a women's treatment room, a men's treatment room,
and a senior treatment room. All of the basic Podiatric
work is done in these three rooms. Podiatric diagnosis,
which often discloses more serious underlying systemic
diseases, is housed in its own separate room.

Surgery

The advancing aspects of Podiatry

The surgery room in the clinic
encompasses the most modern and
up to date facilities which are open
to all the students as they rotate
through the department. The sur-
gery department is capable of
handling fifteen to twenty pro-
ceedures per day. Any type of pro-
ceedure is within reach of the in-
terns and clinitians who are the
best Podiatric surgeons in the
world.

Orthopedics

In the orthopedics department the stu-
dent is able to follow the beginning of an
appliance as it is being made through to
its dispensation to the patient. The differ-
ent materials that are used in the ortho de-
partment range from common cork to
fiberglass. Each student is afforded the op-
portunity to construct an appliance while
in school thus training him for his practice
years.

cians, learn the many different aspects of radiography
from tl1e different exposure angles to the development

Pathology

Under the superv1s10n of a competent labora-
tory technician the students of the clinic are able
to receive a better understanding of the values of
laboratory reports and also the knowledge of per-
forming certain laboratory procedures. Each new
patient that comes into the clinic is given a urin-
alysis and a complete blood count.

Interns

Little stays the same.
Over the past ten years, as Director of Interns, I've seen the progress of
our Internship Program swell from relatively few applicants to the present
stage whereby in excess of 45 applications needed consideration. Our grad-
uate students are realizing more and more the potential of such an Intern-
ship Program.
The didactic and practical knowledge he is absorbing are the more ob-
vious advantages to an Internship. Along with gaining valuable knowledge,
he is developing his own thoughts, activating his ideas and perfecting the
details of his training. He learns to deal with the seemingly unim:Oortant
aspects of his practice and made to realize that trifles make perfection and
perfection is no trifle. He is learning the need to learn, to continue learning
and to walk in the direction of perfection.
The individual efforts of the eleven interns enrolled in this years pro-
gram have added greatly to the strength of this program. It was both
pleasureable and rewarding to have been their Director.

our extern program at highland view hospital

Highland View Hospital, a modern and progressive
Cuyahoga County institution, is unique in that it is one
of the few institutions in the United States wherein
specific steps have been taken to provide a realistic
program for the care, treatment and rehabilitation of
persons with disability and long-term illness. The
restoration of the patient to maximal independence is
the basic objective of therapy.

The hospital is a 600 bed institution located in the
southeastern suburban area of Cleveland and epito-
mizes the concept of "total· medical care team work."
All the medical specialties, including podiatry, are
represented at Highland View, except pediatrics and
obstetrics.

Besides the podiatry extern program, Highland
View Hospital is affiliated with the Western Reserve
University Schools of Medicine and Dentistry, and is
dedicated to and conducts extensive research and
teaching programs.

This unusual institution serves the young as well
as the aged who are afflicted with traumatic disabili-
ties, locomotor system impairment due to neurologic
disease, malignancies and chronic degenerative disease.

The extern program for the seniors of The Ohio Col-
lege of Podiatry was initiated in 1956 under the direc-
tion and supervision of Dr. Henry S. Dennis, Chief of
the Department of Podiatry at Highland View and Past
President of the Ohio Podiatry association. This pro-
gram is designed to aid future podiatrists toward an
improved understanding of hospital procedure, proto-
col, recording, charting, terminology, scope of practice,
organizational methodology and many other aspects of
institutional podiatry practice and clinical experience.

our extern program at cleveland state hospital

DR. KANE The Podiatry department has played an active
part on the Cleveland State Hospital Staff for over
a period of fifteen years. It was founded through
the co-operation of the superintendent .of the hos-
pital, and the efforts of the Ohio College of
Chiropody.

Its supervision is under the direction of gradu-
ate podiatrists, Drs. John N. Kane, and James C.
MacVeigh. The staff also consists of Drs. Car1 C.
Sosinski, W. Larry Lundy and John M. Warrix.

All the facilities of the modern hospital are at
the disposal of the department, which enables the
staff to offer a more adequate and comprehensive
teaching program. During the students tour of
duty, ample opportunities are offered for the
participation in hospital protocol, surgical obser-
vation, and overall functions.

This program enables the student to increase
his perspective, appreciate podiatry as a unit of
the medical department, and understand at the
same time some of the therapeutics and rehabili-
tation of patients, both from the physical and
psychiatric standpoints.

Centurion Club

WHAT rs THE CENTURION CLUB?

The name Centurion refers to a Roman soldier
who commanded 100 men. He was a hero, a man
who could wield his one hundred for the most
good. So, too, is a Centurion of the Ohio College
of Podiatry. He wields his money for the most
good for his college and his profession. He con-
tributes $100 a year to continuously uplift the pro-
fession by making possible needed improvements
at the college and vital developments for the
profession.
