It's Official -- Dr. Strang is Palmer President
DAVENPORT, Iowa -- In the June 17, 1994 issue of "DC," we reported Dr. Virgil Strang's appointment to interim president of Palmer College of Chiropractic, after Dr. Donald Kern had stepped down to return to full-time teaching at Palmer. Dr. Strang said he was complimented by the interim appointment, but was not a candidate for the college presidency.
Contrary to that assertion, Michael Crawford, chancellor of the Palmer colleges, has announced that Dr. Strang has been appointed president of Palmer College of Chiropractic. Dr. Strang, 68, has agreed to serve as Palmer president until 1997.
Chancellor Crawford noted Dr. Strang's eminent qualifications: more than 40 years as teacher, practicing chiropractor, and Palmer administrator. Mr. Crawford also alluded to the profession's upcoming centennial year: "I believe the chiropractic community will agree that a Strang presidency is most appropriate for this historic occasion."
A 1951 Palmer graduate, Dr. Strang served as the college's dean of philosophy until his appointment as interim president. At Palmer, Dr. Strang's career at Palmer includes positions as professor of philosophy, director of professional ethics, professor and associate professor of anatomy, director of education, and assistant director of student counseling. He is the author of a widely used textbook on chiropractic philosophy, Essential Principles of Chiropractic, and has received many academic and professional honors. He served as vice president of the ICA in 1985, and has operated a private chiropractic practice in Davenport since 1951.
