The preparation ofthis bookwasanexcitingexperienceforall ofus. Wehadapanoramic view
of the birth, hardships, and growth of a great institution. We also had an inspiring encounter
with the great but very human people who brought P.C.O.M. to its present prominence.
We had the opportunity to observe a real professional, Cy Peterman, in action as a reporterand
writer.
The Committee knows where we came from, how we got where we are, and, out of that
knowledge, has developed a strong conviction that P.C.O.M. will attain even higher pinnacles of
greatness.

75th Anniversary Publication Committee
To Friends and Alumni of P.C.O.M.
The 75th Anniversary ofthis College, that has been such a large part ofmany ofour lives, is a
great occasion. I greet all of the Alumni, and wish that I could meet with each one personally.
While we observe this Anniversary with pride, and with gratitude to those who made our
successes possible, we also look ahead to even greater days for P.C.O.M., and to its pre-
eminence among the schools of the healing arts in this country.
Cordially,
