Dr. Martin F. Palmer Institute of Logopedics Dept. Head Institute of Lo o edics 8 P gains world recognition The Institute of Logopedics was founded in 1934. A master plan has served as a guide throughout its period of growth and incor- porated three principles: CID The correction of speech handicaps Q22 The teacher training and C35 Research in speech problems. The Institute began its existence in a fourth floor classroom in the Administration Build- ing of the University of Wichita. The first move, in 1939, was to separate ground-floor quarters where greatly increased facilities were available. The new plant of the Institute of Logopedics, situated northwest of the Uni- versity, was opened in September, 1949. The physical plant of the Institute of Logo- pedics consists of a main administration build- ing in which all case teaching, teacher train- ing, and research is centralized. Surrounding the administration building in two main groups is a horizontal Kansas skyscraper of forty four-plexes distributed over forty acres of ground. The cerebral palsy group of ten four-plexes forms a separate closed quadran- gle, thus protecting these physically handi- capped children from the hazards of auto traffic.
