ORGANIZATIONS RGANIZATION is the keynote to success — a fact well bourne out by the famous statement — In unity there is strength. Realizing the benefits to be gained by organization — a group of men and women who had the furtherance of Osteopathy as their goal — met on April 19, 1897 and evolved the American Association for the Advancement of Osteopathy. The original group was composed largely of students of the American School of Osteopathy. The membership was soon restricted to graduates, however, and after three years, the organization became widely affiliated with the Associated Colleges of Osteopathy. At the fifth annual meeting — in 1902 — the present name — The American Osteopathic Association was adopted. In carrying out the advancement of Oste- opathy, the organization began by launching a monthly osteopathic periodical — The Journal — the first copy of which appeared September, 1901. In the years that followed, the American Osteopathic Association has furthered its efforts to accomplish its original purposes. The Association now includes in its membership a goodly percentage of the osteopathic physicians of the world. It seeks an adequate standard of osteopathic education, a high plane of professional conduct, justice in legislative halls and the courts, recognition of the truths of osteopathy in the v orld of science and an understanding of the benefits of osteopathy on the part of humanity in general.
