Physical Therapy Clinic (Exercise Instead Of Pills) Opens at Watkins Hospital Today
Fifteen minutes of exercise and liberal portions of heat and water instead of pills and capsules may be the doctor's prescription if you go to the physical therapy clinic which opens in Watkins Memorial hospital today.
The new clinic is in the west wing of the hospital basement, in space formerly used as an overflow ward and classroom. The clinic has seven treatment booths, a reception room, and ample storage space for equipment.
Miss Lilyan G. Warner, physical therapist on the health center staff, is to be in charge of the clinic. Miss Warner is an instructor in physical therapy and faculty advisor to physical therapy students here. She joined the student health center staff this semester.
As an added service to students,
Dr. Gordon M. Martin, assistant professor of physical medicine and director of physical medicine at the University of Kansas hospitals, will be in the clinic an afternoon a week for physical therapy consultations.
Dr. Martin is consultant in physical therapy on the Student Health Service staff.
Only in the past decade has physical therapy been included in medical curriculum, but now the medical world realizes the importance of physical medicine as a profession, hospital doctors commented today.
Physical therapy is "that branch of medical science which uses physical measures in the treatment of injuries and diseases." Such agents as light, heat, electricity, water,'massage, and exercise are used, instead of pills.
Physical therapy won recognition as a profession in World War I and rapidly expanded during World War II. It played a vital role in the physical rehabilitation of wounded, injured, and crippled patients. During the war in military hospitals, physical therapy was prescribed for about 50 per cent of the patients. In civilian hospitals where physical treatment was available about 10 per cent of the patients received this treatment.
With physical therapy, patients may be effectively treated for fractures. sprains, strains, some skin diseases, postural abnormalities, arthritic conditions and muscle and nerve injuries.
KUJ is one of five midwestern schools accredited to train physical therapists. A total of 21 schools in the country is accredited by the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical association to offer this training.
Physical therapy treatment was given by nurses before Miss Warner joined the staff. One 11 by 13 foot
room with two booths and a small office were the only facilities. Equipment included one ultra violet lamp, one diathermy (deep heat machine), and six infra-red lamps.
Equipment in the newly-opened clinic is valued at $3,000. It includes two ultra-violet lamps, a ceiling model salarium, a local stand lamp, six bakers for heat treatment, one low voltage generator for testing of muscles and exercising of muscles with injured nerve supplies, and two whirlpools.
The clinic will be open to private non-student patients as well as to students.
New Concert Dates For Band, Orchestra
The date for the spring band concert to be held in Hoch auditorium has been changed from May 20 to May 27, and for the orchestra, from May 27 to June 2, Russell L. Wiley, director, announced today.
"This is the finest band I've had since the bands of pre-war days, and I am looking forward to the opportunity to present it to the public on May 27." Mr. Wilev said.
This change was necessary so the band could take part in the "Pageant of the Peace Pipe" at Haskell institute, he added.
Featured soloists for the concerts will be Leo Horacek, cornetist; Marshall Butler, pianist; and William Sears, baton twirler. The concert will include "Seigiefd's Rhine Journey" (Wagner), "American Rhapsody" (Wood), the first movement from the "Symphony in B-flat." (Fouchet), and "Choral March and Fugue" (Gullman), he said.
Liberal Arts Lack Practical Application Eldridge Writes
Preparation for citizenship by means of books, lectures, discussions, examinations and term papers is about as absurd as learning to swim by correspondence, Prof. Seba Eldridge of the sociology department declared in a recent article written on the shortcomings of the liberal arts colleges.
Professor Eldridge's article, "The Liberal Arts Colleges—A Diagnosis of Its Shortcomings," appears in the Journal of Higher Education.
A defect of the liberal arts college, according to Eldridge, is the emphasis placed on rote learning of lecture and reading material, and the lack of actual application of the material to life situations.
all their students meant to be sociologists," he says. "What the students need in sociological principles is a thorough grounding in community work."
He accuses instructors of teaching subjects which interest them as professionals, although few students intend to major in their particular
Sociologists commonly teach as if field.
Professor Eldridge claims also that the typical liberal arts college does not acquaint its students with the problems and responsibilities of life that face them after graduation. The work required of a student lacks purpose and direction.
The third great shortcoming of colleges is that they fail to deal with the students as individuals, he says. He deplores that many go through four years of college without being well-known to instructors or administrators. Guidance of the student in his education depends on learning the student's capacities, limitations, and needs, Professor Eldridge declared.
Menninger Board To Continue Clinic
Topcka. (UP)—Spokesmen for the newly-created Mennenger Foundation, set up to operate the internationally-known Mennenger clinic and sanitarium here on a non-profit basis, said today that the institution would continue to accept patients on a nationwide basis.
They emphasized that it would not become a "charity" hospital and that charges would continue for care of patients, with funds going to the non-profit foundation for expenses of operation, research and 'educational work in psychiatry.
The foundation's educational program will be directed toward training psychiatrists for nationwide service, they said.
Dr. Karl Menninger, who founded the institution with his father more than 20 years ago, announced this week that he and his brother, Brig. Gen. William C. Menninger of the Surgeon General's office of the U.S. army, had turned over the establishment to the foundation.
Assets estimated at $500,000 comprised an outright gift from the Menninger family and other stockholders in the sanitarium corporation, except for a few shares held by outsiders and purchased by the foundation.
