Therapists celebrate anniversary
Twenty-five years of development for the department of physical therapy were recognized Thursday night during a meeting of the Physical Therapist Club.
"Progress isn't made without change," said Donald L. Rose, chairman of the department of physical medicine at the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC). "Although I do not pretend to foresee the future, one of the advantages of getting older is hindsight. I think the future will change as much as the past."
"Education must move toward a specific objective," Rose continued. "In the past, medical education moved toward solving acute problems. Then we entered an era of development of apparatus, then came technique, now we are moving into an era of concern with rehabilitation."
Mrs. Ruth Monteith, educational director of the department of physical therapy, related the past history and physical development of the department at the Medical Center and on the KU campus.
Dr. Gordon Martin became the first chairman of the department in 1944. Mrs. Monteith joined the staff the same year. Four girls also enrolled in the nine-month certificate program offered at KUMC.
Rose became chairman in 1947. Gradually, the number of months required for a certificate lengthened until a 14-month-program was initiated in 1963.
"My first desk was a drawer in a photographer's desk," Mrs. Monteith said. "The photographer decided I was in the way, so next I moved into the mail room in the old gymnasium. When it rained, everything on my desk floated."
Since 1944, 563 students have graduated with at least a certificate in physical therapy. This total includes the members of the 50th class which is now enrolled.

It was the first time in 82 years that at least two of the triplets, believed to be the world's oldest, were not together for their annual celebration. Adams was at home with his children in Ardmore, Okla., and Mrs. Comer was under special care at a Plainview, Tex., hospital.
