 D can't Tftettaye The graduation of your class coincides with the Golden Anniversary of the founding of the first journal of chiropody in the world. It was justy fifty years ago that Alfred Joseph introduced the Pedic Items to the profession. At that time chiropody was still in its infancy. Organized state societies existed in only New York, Illinois, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. There was no national body to represent our group. New York was the only state which had enacted a chiropody law. There was no national body to represent our group. New York was the only state which had enacted a chiropody law. There were no chiropody schools and the embryo practitioner received his training from a preceptor. In many areas it was necessary for patients to travel long distances in order to obtain chiropodicai services. I'he Pedic Items proved to be the very cornerstone of chiropody's development. Editor Joseph ably publicized the benefits which accrue from organization. As a result, new slate societies were formed. These in turn were responsible for the creation of the national association. Editorials emphasized the need of formal deucation for chiropodists. This was followed by the establishment of chiropody colleges in New York. San Francisco, Philadelphia. Chicago, and Cleveland. The columns of the journal pointed out the necessity of securing licensure for the profession. This resulted in the passage of chiropody laws by many of the state legislatures. As the journal grew in size, the profession likewise became larger and more unified. The Pedic Items was purchased by the national body in January 1921 and was renamed the Journal of the National Association of Chiropodists. Since that time it has been the official voice of the profession. I trust that the history of our first fifty years of progress will act as an inspiration to the Class of 1957. It will be your job to carry our profession to new goals in the years to come. Keep in mind that chiropody with all its faults and problems, is still the hope of the foot sore world. Charles E.
