I started a collection of texts from old osteopathic journals that could be of interest to osteopaths and people curious about osteopathy.

“PAP”

As I am often called “Pap” by the students and diplomates of my school, I will try and treat you as a “Pap” should his children. When he or she has received his or her parchment from the American School of Osteopathy and has earned it by faithful and hard study, and passed on all that has been required of them by the school which is of a high grade in all its branches, and when I affixed my hand to your diplomas, I did so because I thought you worthy of them. I felt you had done honor to yourself and the school.

I am proud to say of each and every graduate who has spent the required time in this school, that I feel sure they are well prepared to enter the field of labor and do good work in any climate, season or place, if they keep an eye fixed on the principles taught them by this school; they can at the close of each day be wiser and feel more joyful of the step that put them to study man, the master-piece of the works of God. I want you to feel and know that I have no “pets” I bear the same love to all. Write me often, I will be with you in sunshine or in shadows.

Lovingly yours,

PAP.
