DR. MARTIN F. PALMER, bead of the department! of logopedicf and director of the izmimle Logopedics The University of Wichita was one of the first schools in the nation to establish a separate department for speech sciences, and as an outgrowth of this section, H eezltlf Service Health Service Committee has charge of the over-all health features of the University, Primary emphasis is placed upon measures which help to produce and main- tain general health of the student body. The committee arranges for entrance medical exam- inations, approves hospitalization cases, works closely with the Veterans Administration, institutes clean-up campaigns and makes contacts with doctor's offices in arranging for student x-rays. A fee is paid by students at the beginning of each begun in 1934 by Dr. William M. Jardine, University president, and placed under direction of Dr. Martin F. Palmer, the Institute of Logopedics has developed until today it is one of the largest training centers in the country for the speech handicapped. Through its affiliation with the University, the Insti- tute serves as a training school for students desiring to enter the field of speech correction. Many students are finding this field, which offers untold opportunities for broadening of scientific knowledge, a challenge to their abilities and an opportunity to render a great humani- tarian service. Students enrolled in logopedics courses learn' not only theories of speech correction, but also practical aspects of the profession. Through study and observation of cases during actual corrective periods, the student is enabled to complete all educational and experience requirements and is thus qualified to accept a respon- sible position. This field is one of the few that is not overcrowded. In addition to its teacher training, research and corrective programs, the institute provides speech cor- rection services for veterans of World Wars I and II whose battle injuries have resulted in speech loss or damage. It was the first organization in this country to be authorized by the Veterans Administration to do this type of work. Out-units are operated in other com- munities under the institute's supervision, a plan which makes it possible to place the majority of graduates in good positions. semester which helps to cover the cost of vaccinations, hospitalization and examinations. During the actual examinations the staff is augmented by bringing in downtown physicians, dentists, and other specialists. The committee is composed of Dr. C. C. McDonald, chairman, three doctors, Dr. D. Cramer Reed, Dr. I. W. Shaw and Dr. Frances Schiltz, a representative from both men's and women's physical education de- partments, C. A. Bidwell and Gladys Taggart, and a representative from the R.O.T.C. program, Captain Samuel McAdams. HEAIJIAH ,SERVILE ffOMMlTTEEf- S'mr1d111g: Dr. C.. CI. McDonald. rhairmang Dr, D.

oumlation or Industrial esemfcb Newest and fastest-growing organization connected with the University, the Foundation for Industrial Re- search, is now, with the completion of new laboratories and the installation of new equipment, able to tackle the industrial problems presented by the manufacturers in the Wichita area, Most of the past year was spent converting the fourth floor of the Science Building into a well-equipped lab- oratory and obtaining additional space under the old stadium. Still limited on the projects that may be undertaken because of the lack of equipment, the foun- dation has also made arrangements for the use of the machine shop, which is now under construction, and the aeronautics division's facilities. The foundation was organized late in 1944 when the manufacturers banded together to form a system of research laboratories that would help devise new meth- ods of production and improvements in their products. Under this plan the foundation is operated on a non- profit basis with the industries contributing funds for building laboratories and buying equipment. Each project undertaken by the FIR is carried on with the manufacturer paying only for the actual cost encountered in working on the project. Heading the foundation are governors who are elected for a six-year term with one retiring each year. Dr. W. B. Burnett is acting director. University faculty members who are on the research staff include Dr. Penrose S. Albright, head of the physics department, Dr. Worth A. Fletcher, professor of chemistry, Dr. Lloyd McKinley, head of the chemistry department, Kenneth Razak, associate professor of aeronautics, Dr. Clarence G. Stuckwisch, assistant professor of chem- istryg Dr. W. A. Ver Wiebe, head of the geology department, and Dr. Forest L. Whan, head of the speech department. F.l.R.
