This book preserves the memory of Carol B. Pratt, Ph.D., O.D., a highly significant figure in the history of the Pacific University College of Optometry and in the lives of hundreds of optometry students, creating a record of the innovative optometric testing and analysis procedures he devised and the original research he conducted. It is hoped that the book will be of interest to persons who wish to celebrate Pratt's life and work, and those curious about aspects of the history of Pacific University or the history of optometry and optometric education. It is also possible that optometrists studying nearpoint visual function may find inspiration in the principles that Pratt delineated.

As it turns out, most of the students I taught over the years who got a degree in philosophy went on to non-academic jobs and careers. They dispel the notion that the only thing one can do with a degree in philosophy is to teach philosophy.Does studying philosophy teach one how to fix a leaky faucet? No, but neither does studying economics. Does studying philosophy lead to rewarding and fulfilling careers? Not necessarily, but it certainly can.
