OCCOPODIAN

The Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine last year Gary J. Schurman
recorded its 60th year as a viable institution. In addi-
tion , the school found a new home within which Editor-in-Chief
podiatric medical education could expand and flour-
ish .

Since last year, the school has flourished; flexing its

new appendages with the result being a marked im-
provement in podiatric education. This advance did
not happen by chance. There was a myriad of
struggles, obstacles, and minor setbacks, but when the
debits and credits were tallied, a formidable podiatric
asset was recognized.

With the emphasis on progressive change, past con-
tributors to the profession are sometimes overlooked.
This year the OCCOPODIAN proudly salutes some
anniversary classes in the "A lumni Memories" section.
It is our aim to honor past alumni and provide inter-
esting historical insight into the college's earlier years.

This edition then , is a lasting record of the achieve-
ments, the struggles, and the perseverence that has
made our college one of the leaders. It is emphasized,
however, that anniversaries and monumental events
are but milestones, and that progress and betterment
are the true underlying factors in the continued
growth of our profession.

PHI ALPHA Pl

Phi Alpha Pi offers its brotherhood a veritable plethora of didactic and Alan Dorfman
clinical knowledge, through its active sponsorship of three separate President
clinical facilities: Harbor Lite; St. Paul's Shrine; and the 55th Street Clinic.

Because of an active and generous Phi Alumnae, today the men of Phi
pride themselves in the most modern facilities available in any extension
clinic. Within its confines, the Harbor Lite contains its own pharmacy,
clinical laboratory, biomechanics and gait analysis laboratory, and x-ray
department.

Phi Alpha Pi was the first professional chartered fraternity at OCPM.
Almost since its inception, the Phi fraternity has been an active partici-
pant in greater Cleveland community affairs as evidenced by its associ-
ation with Rotary, March of Dimes Walkathon, and the Salvation Army.

The Phi social calendar culminates each Spring with its gayla annual
formal. The formal serves as a dual commemoration for the men of Phi.
The festivities each May celebrate the initiation of the incoming Phi
Freshmen, and as a grandiose farewell graduation party for the Senior
portion of the brotherhood.

helping us initiate this organization. This independent

As with many other college organizations, SACFS
bridges an academic gap. Through publication of The
Journal of Foot Surgery, all member podiatrists, and
podiatric students may keep abreast of the most recent
advances in surgical theory and technique.

Our academic schedule for the year includes a fine
guest lecture series, lunchtime mini-demos, and a film
series . This year a surgical seminar is being planned. In
cooperation with Ohio· College of Podiatric Medicine,
we are confident of providing members with the best
opportunities in surgical exposure, knowledge, and
