e upon him. T hat year there was about 75% for and 25%
against. It proved to be the turning point— that year.
1930. Two years ago registration was about 1200. Last
year it was 1956. Last year there were but 5 known people
who took occasion to say anything against anything here. It
simply wasn’t in the crowd. Everybody came T O GET. They
came to listen, to learn, to help themselves to help others.
Day by day, they kept pouring in. Day by day they at
tended all sessions. Day by day, they got down to bedrock
work and worked. Day by day the clouds of misunderstanding
rolled away. Day by day, the smiles kept getting broader and
smiles appeared. Day by day, the laughter and the song rang
thru the old halls of the many buildings. There was a decided
expression of strong good-will coming from the graduates of
other Chiropractic schools, who came, not knowing whether they
would be welcome or not.
The ABC movement took a decided jump forward. A
marked growth and feeling towards this organization was mani
fested. The supporters had increased their service, their numeri
cal strength was increased; they showed by way of talks exactly
what tremendous good they were doing. Various near-by
Auxiliaries brot in their patients who attended some of the ses
sions of the A .B.C. meetings. Bill W erner was at his best and
gave some soul-inspiring talks. They took in many new mem
bers during the week here.
The CHB showed a growth in membership, free of debt and
with a big; fat, round sum laying in the bank drawing interest
— standing ready to meet any emergency— and this, in spite
of the fact that we have never knocked any other organization
nor have we ever had any field representatives traveling about

Many other fine talks were put on by Faculty and field
members. For the first time Drs. Richardson and Hall, of
the X-ray department, demonstrated complete, full-length spinal
column pictures, taken at one time with one exposure, w ith
out distortion at either extremity and with as perfect clarity
of reading values as would be sectional views. This is some
thing new in X-ray values; it makes many interpretations possible
that were not possible before.
The general trend of the views of all present was that there
was an optimism .in the air; a future to Chiropractic and those
chiropractors who were heading into it rather than out of it.
Perhaps the real key-note was sounded Sunday morning at the
Field Conference Board, with this statement:
“ Chiropractic is passing out of one era into another. It is
stepping out of the theory age into the scientific one. Chiro
practic is passing out of the epoch where we praised and fol
lowed the teaching of a man into the epoch where the only
standard will be that of scientific facts, secured by the use of
scientific means, determined by the principles of scientific instru
ments, and concluded upon with scientific practices.”
The confidence of every N CM user was raised 100%. Those
who were luke-warm became hot. Those who were cold could
no longer doubt their very eyes and ears of what they saw and
heard. Cases talked results on less than they had ever had
before.
All in all, everyone regards the 1930 Lyceum as the BEST Ly
ceum we have ever had for downright meritorious work delivered
and of far-reaching value to the sick. Thank goodness, every
body was unanimous in their opinions the same way.

came to the Lyceum or were students in school. W e piled the
