CHRONOLOGY
1900 (Feb 24): Gordon M. Goodfellow born in Valcartier Village, Quebec (Rehm, 1980; In Memoriam, 1975)
1925 (Mar): Chirogram , published by LACC , reports:
- photo of auditorium at new LACC building at 918 W 16th St; cover page also indicates GSCC has been amalgamated with LACC / ECC -article by Charles H. Wood re: his new device: "The diagnostic neurometer , now called the vibrometer ", which he co-invented with Harold HU Cross PhD, ME; a technical article in contrast with 12/24 issue's clinical focus (p. 2) (Wood, 1925a): It was during the period of time that Dr. Cross was with the college that the writer attempted to make an electrical machine that could be used for the purpose of finding nerve impingements and spinal reflexes. Dr. Cross and myself experimented for about eighteen months with various electrical modalities, with the idea of discovering some way to make a machine that would be useful to Chiropractors and we were able to use the high frequency apparatus as well as the sinusoidal current and accurately determine nerve pressures. The work that we were doing at that time was discontinued because we felt that the time was inopportune for the use of machines, as there was much opposition throughout the Chiropractic field against anything that could be considered 'mixing', and I, as a school man, could not afford to incur the ill-will of the Chiropractor in the field, who was so violently opposed to the use of anything that savored of diagnosis, and indeed, I am pleased the BJ came out for the Neuro- Calorimeter, as his position on this matter but opens up the way for a broader and more progressive Chiropractic.

-Advertisement: "The diagnostic neuro-meter" with photo of
monkey (p. 8; Advertisement, 1925):
THE DIAGNOSTIC-NEURO-METER, invented by Dr CH Wood , now called diagnostic Vibro-Meter, DEMON-STRATES DEFINITIE ANATOMICAL and PHYSIOLOGICAL LAWS. It is a machine made and used for the purpose of locating impingements of nerves any place in the human body.
It Positively Proves the theory of nerve impingements due to
subluxations of vertebra, and can demonstrate this conclusively, proving its capabilities by doing ork that no other machine can do, and
further will convince by its power of detecting impinged nerves that the philosophy of Chiropractic is correct. MEASURES RESISTANCE The Diagnostic Vibro-meter is not a heat registering machine, but measures resistance of the nerve, or nerves that are impinged. It is an electrical machine and not a thermo-couple-galvanometer device and does not infringe in ANY way on ANY machine now on the market. It demonstrates that subluxations of the vertebra, impinging on nerves, alter the rates of vibrations of such nerves, thereby causing mal- function of certain organs and tissues. AMAZING FACTS The Diagnostic Vibro-meter proves that only an adjustment will remove the impingements and is the only machine now used for the purpose of spinal diagnosis that will definitely prove the above facts. The thermo-couple-galvanometer devices only record surface temperature and the readings from the patient's back can be altered by massage along the spine; by use of the Thermo-Lamp, by hot packs, and the many electrical modalities. This is readily demonstrable to anyone who will investigate. PREVENTS MAL-ADJUSTMENT The Diagnosis Vibro-meter readings can be altered only by a real adjustment, and any other method of treatment applied to the spine will not alter the readings of the machine. It positively picks majors and eliminates the posibility of over-adjusting -- or mal-adjusting; thus increasing the efficiency of the Doctor. INVESTIGATE A comparison with all other machines used for a like purpose is welcomed by the manufacturers, and requests to demonstrate to any body of scientific men will be welcomed. Satisfy yourself. You are not asked to accept this machine until every claim we make for it has been absolutely proven. We will readily appreciate an opportunity to prove, beyond any question, that the Diagnostic Vibro-meter is the most accurate and reliable of any machine used for a like purpose."

circa 1934-36: Budden (1951) recalls that: That the private ownership of the institutions in a measure militated against a generous and wholesale upsurge to finance this idea is true and must be taken into account in appraising the situation prevailing at that time. Only an optimist, however, and one quite unfamiliar with the economics of chiropractic schools and colleges
would suggest that, by advancing scholastic requirements, more money could be made. The facts being quite the contrary, as we have intimated, the "school men" as a group hesitated. Some suggested that while the idea was a good one, the time was not yet. Nevertheless, Dr. E.J. Smith , young graduate of the National College and of Western Reserve University in 1921, gave the first real impetus toward what is now so far developed by establishing a four- year school in Cleveland, Ohio. The Metropolitan College of Chiropractic opened its doors to the first four-year students and the new era had begun. Shortly after this pioneer effort, the National College proclaimed that it would issue certificates of graduation "cum laude" to those who successfully negotiated its thirty-two months course. The writer of this article initiated this action and signed as "Dean" the first diplomas. It should be stated here, and with no sense of derogation of those who took a leading part in this advance, in the case of the N.C.C. certainly, the fact that a medical board of examiners held sway over chiropractic activities in Illinois, and to some extent in Ohio, tended powerfully to fertilize the soil in which the actual four-year course took root. Almost simultaneously with these events, the new idea appeared in Colorado. The late Homer Beatty , head of the college in Denver and author of the well-known text, "Anatomical Adjustive Technique," now began to raise his voice calling for thirty-six months training. A vigorous advocate of any cause he espoused, the impact of his personality and propaganda soon began to make itself felt. Dr. Beatty , however, was not alone. Associated with him in this crusade were several of the teachers of the school, notably Dr. Niel Bishop, as well as a number of men "in the field." Behind them all, however, and adding powerfully to the growth of the movement, loomed the figure of Professor Jones, dean emeritus of Northwestern University, School of Psychology, and doctor of chiropractic of National College. Now another voice from the far west was added to the growing debate. The pages of the National Journal began to reflect the views of C.O. Watkins of Montana. Logical, incisive persistent " C.O. " hammered away at the bulwarks of the short-course school of thought. There can be no doubt that his rapid rise to a leading place in the councils of the NCA brought powerful aid and comfort to the four- year idea. It was, however, to Dr. R.D. Ketchum , of Bend, Oregon, that credit must go for giving final impulse toward definite action by the NCA. The doctor was at that time state delegate for Oregon, and was generally admitted to be one of the most influential and respected members of the then House of Counselors. It was as such that he issued his call to arms. Said he at the close of a short but powerful exhortation, "We have talked a lot about the four-year course, let us get busy and do something about it. Some time previous to this event, however, a committee appointed by the NCA had been at work attempting to evaluate the status of the schools. The outline of an accreditation system already had emerged. The groundwork was being laid for what was to come. The challenge from the West then was caught up and echoed by this committee and the wheels began to turn. At this point there strode into the forefront of the picture a stalwart figure. Already a leading member of the committee, he now took a commanding position. From that moment on, the incisive logic, the mordant sarcasm, the merciless dialectic, coupled with a calm, rock-like resistance to criticism and opposition that is J.J. Nugent , served as a rallying point in the conflict which suged and eddied around the four-year idea. Powerful aid now also came from members of the Executive Committee. The secretary, Dr. L.M. Rogers , as an executive, long a silent sympthizer, became effectively articulate ont he affirmative
side. Drs. Gordon M. Goodfellow , of California, Downs, of
Montana, Harriman, of North Dakota; men from Iowa, from Illinois, from Minnesota, from Wisconsin, stood up to be counted for the new day in education. Thus ended phase one. (Budden, 1951).

Schuman has made rapid strides in building up the college. Ably assisted by a board of directors, consisting of leading chiropractors representing the profession on the coast and a faculty second to none, the school has exceeded all expectations. Enrolling over forty new students since February 1st and with every indication that new student material will gross the one hundred mark before fall, the college is making plans for the greatest activity in the history of the organization. While Mr. Schuman has had previous experience in the public schools of Illinois, he has been fortunate in obtaining as Dean of the college, Dr. Wolfe Adler , a noted authority in school work, public lecturing and an unlimited knowledge of chiropractic. In line with the policy of the college a curriculum has been formulated involving 4000 hours as covered by the amendment now generally accepted by the profession. Special free classes are being offered to the field in various subjects and lectures usually accompanied by motion pictures are a special feature every other Thursday evening in the college at 9th and Union Sts., Los Angeles. Inasmuch as this is a field-owned, non-profit institution, let's get behind the Southern California College of Chiropractic and make it second to none in the entire country. -"Chiropractic nurses and technicians" by "Elizabeth Langmo, Retiring State President" (p. 19) -letter from F.

1944 (Aug): The Chirogram [11(4)] includes: -editorial by Wilma Churchill AB, DC (pp. 5, 12): "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread." The Chiropractic profession has been becoming increasingly conscious of the need for unity. This has been exemplified by the nerger of the associations of California into the present harmonious California Chiropractic Association. For the past year the though has been milling around in the minds of the Chiropractors of California, and gradually gaining momentum, that there should be an amalgamation of the schools in the North, and of the schools in the South. The ultimate outcome of which would be one big, progressive institution of learning and research for each end of the State. In any amalgamation there must be some few who will take the "bull by the horns," undertake the preliminary steps, and lay the groundwork to bring about the materialization of the original idea. Therefore, knowing that it was in the interest of Chiropractic and the wish of the profession that such a move be made, Dr. George H. Haynes
and Dr. Henry G. Higley, principal stockholders of the Southern California College
of Chiropractic , and I have laid such necessary groundwork.
Due to lack of time, it has been necessary that a great deal of the preliminary planning be already completed before consulting many in the profession. However, a few of the more active doctors, Drs. Goodfellow, Eacrett, Montenegro, etc., have been told of the plans. The curriculi of the two schools have been carefully scrutinized and it has been found that the students of both schools can be carried through the remainder of their courses with practically no rearrangement of classes, and no delay of the time of graduation. In fact the students will profit by the increased faculty and the combined efforts and facilities of the two schools. The Southern California College of Chiropractic and the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic have both, in the past, been at a loss to properly accomodate those in the profession who have sought to obtain post graduate instruction. It is part of the plan of the amalgamation to make available to the members of the profession a post-graduate course separate and distinct from the under-graduate school. The graduate course will be a progressive one and will afford an opportunity for research and development of new phases of diagnosis and treatment. While the final arrangements have not been completed, it was felt that the amalgamation would not be endangered by giving out this advance information. Those who are earnestly interested in doing that which is for the best interests of the profession cannot help but support such a program. It has been gratifying to find such a unanimity of thought and desire for the advancement of Chiropractic as manifested by them up to now, complete lack of criticism of opposition to this worthwhile movement. The ultimate goal is, of course, that the Chiropractic institutions shall be owned by the State Association. And it is to this end that everyone is working. It is only a matter of time before the Association will be in a position to consummate such plans.

CALIFORNIA
DR. NUGENT STRESSES EDUCATION.
To the many pre-arranged meetings held throughout the length and breadth of California have come hundreds of members of our profession to hear the educational aims and objects of the NCA , as revealed by its Educational Director, Dr. John J. Nugent , New Haven, Conn. Having arrived in this state just five weeks ago, his message of chiropractic education has already been heard all over the state. Public school teachers, city, county and state officials int he department of education have already heard his message and though they came primarily to scoff and chide many stayed to congratulate and encourage this educator who represents us even in this Nation's Capitol. As the days pass the trying work of presenting this great program in advanced chiropractic education continues to grow greater and the stress is now beginning to show. But Dr. Nugent is happy; happy because he has found not only appreciative audiences to whom he addressed his messages but he also found the "response" from his audience that has been so greatly needed in this state. If the NCA will permit Dr. Nugent sufficient time in California we feel this great mission, so newly launched, will attain to mature growth and secure entrenchment. Due to a grave heart disorder, Dr. J. Ralph John has had to give up his work as State Chairman of the Chiropractic Research Foundation. In acknowledging the letter of recognition from Dr. John, our state president, Dr. I.A. Dundas, expressed warm appreciation for the ability shown by Dr. John in his initial organiztion of the 24 districts in this state. With regrets the board of directors accepted the recognition and offered a resolution of thanks and appreciation to the man known to us so dearly as J. Ralph. The CRF has been one of the major subjects of Dr. Nugent's many talks out here and in all of them he has praised highly the work done by the John's committee in behalf of the CRF , and most highly has he offered his praise to its fine and able leader, Dr. John. - Reported by E.H. Gardner, D.C., NCA State Director.

Robert W. Dishman , MA, DC, former dean of the Hollywood College of Chiropractic (during the 1950s) -writes in Dynamic Chiropractic on foot care Telephone interview with J. Keating on 3/9/ -graduated from Southern California College of Chiropractic Physicians & Surgeons -knew TF Ratledge very well
-trained with Homer York; was alarmed with straight chiropractors willingness to treat serious respiratory infections with spinal adjustments only Audio-taped interview with J. Keating on Saturday, 5/11/91 in Whittier CA -attended Southern California College of Chiropractic (SCCC), which emphasized "physician-surgeon possibility" for DCs; school was aligned with NDs and DOs, wished to increase scope of practice to include "at least minor surgery and the use of certain medicines" -interdisciplinary faculty at SCCC : DCs, MDs, NDs, DOs, DSCs and athletic trainers -"strapped the foot, various pads and tapes to take care of all kinds of ordinary chiropody ailments...." -"we covered arch-supports, particularly the kinds chiropodists would make in their own offices...pads were glued into the shoe..." -"we also did a lot of taping of the foot...." -all foot manipulation instruction from DCs; DSCs didn't teach foot manipulation -overall, not a great deal of instruction in footcare; most students were not interested; however, a few DCs were quite interested, especially those involved in dealing with sports injuries (circa 1940), who did a lot of taping 1943: Dr. D in navy at amputation/rehab center of naval hospital in Vallejo CA, where he was in charge of the PT department; when Lt Commander (MD) arrived to take over department, Dishman (not commissioned) was required to get MD's prescription to adjust patients -"in about two months I was fully occupied giving adjustments"
- Ted Shrader DC worked in brace shop at same naval hospital, made foot orthotics 1947: Dishman teaches his first footcare seminar to 25- doctors at Royal Palms Hotel; not college-sponsored because LACC had no post-graduate program; Dishman had already published several papers on chiro footcare 1947: speaks with Lee Norcross at LACC re grad school offerings in orthopedics and footcare 1948: Dishman moves to Pomona, starts foot orthotics lab in Pomona; "got away from LACC , and the next thing I knew Dr. Lipe had started the orthopedic class about 1948. I came back...."; continues to operate Pomona lab -Dishman taught LACC grad seminars at various CA cities -Dr Webb ( LACC? SCCC? ) regularly treated feet by manipulation (DC?, maybe DO? ) -Dr. Hoard? (DO) was an "excellent manipulator of the foot" -faculty at COP&S did foot manip; occassionally gave foot technique seminars at SCCC ; "it was quite specific" -Delbert J. Metzinger DC "he was an excellent foot manipulator....he manipulated every joint in the body... one of his students was Elmer Bones " who later served on faculty at Hollywood College of Chiropractic -"Metzinger lineage" included Elmer Bones , Al? Logan (no relation to Vinton; wrote book on manipulation), Franklin Miner
- Metzinger and Hiss Clinics were "leading" providers of foot manipulation -Dishman also learned foot manip informally from Mel Wheadon DC
- Metzinger and Bones strove for audibles, sometimes hurt patients; Metzinger , Ratledge and Homer York were exclusively "articular thrusters" -Dishman prefers osteopathic techniques ("relieving fibrosis by mobilization rather than thrusting") & soft-tissue methods & stretching because more gentle, painless -Hiss Clinic: surprised Dishman; elevated chair for seated manip, some standing manipulations; no table; Hiss had a "volume practice, but not as much as Locke"; Hiss Clinic emphasized "high velocity thrusting"
__________________________________________________________________________________________

-"Locke was a legend....probably an exaggeration....all different types of people.....ballet and other dancers were disabled....", got quick relief from Locke
-Locke's methods: Dishman had heard that "he delivered a high velocity kind of thrust, and he did it very quickly. All the Locke maneuvers that we've been taught were high velocity thrusting...."
