CCF Historical Research Awards Announced

With chiropractic history as the focus of the Grand Celebration's symposium in Davenport, Iowa in 1995, the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation (CCF) announced the four winners of the historical research awards. The four winning papers, along with other entries, will be presented at the symposium. The winning papers were:

• "The Evolution of Chiropractic Technique and Analysis," presented by Robert Cooperstein, MA, DC, Palmer College of Chiropractic West, San Jose, California.

   

• "The Man Who Hated Chiropractors: Morris Fishbein of the AMA," presented by Joseph H. Donahue, DC, Peru, Illinois.

   

• "The Survival of Chiropractic: Evaluating the Denial Syndrome of Historical Medicine, 1950-94," presented by Russell Gibbons, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

   

• "J.J. -- The Story of Joseph Janse: A Chiropractor," presented by Reed B. Phillips, DC, PhD, and Joey Janse, DC, Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (LACC), Whittier, California.

According to Stefan Pallister, DC, program director for the CCF's educational programs, the judges reviewed each proposed project for thoroughness and completeness, the clarity of the proposal, and the originality of the work. "The judges considered the scope of the topic, as well as the impact the subject of the study had on the profession, in making their decisions," he said. "The standard of applications was high and the judges found the task of selecting only four papers very daunting."

"The Centennial is a time to look to the future of chiropractic, but at the same time it's a celebration of our past too," said Dr. William F. Holmberg, CCF president. "It's important that we remember our roots. These papers tell important stories about chiropractic history."
