Palmer College celebrates chiropractic anniversary

On Tuesday, Sept. 19, Palmer’s Davenport campus celebrated Founder’s Day and 111 years of chiropractic. It was on Sept. 18, 1895, when D.D. Palmer performed the first chiropractic adjustment on Harvey Lillard.

The event was commemorated with a ceremony and the traditional wreath presentation in the Student Union, which was followed by a reception. Campus tours were also offered. The Founder’s Day celebration was held on Sept. 19, rather than Sept. 18, due to National Boards testing.

“Founder’s Day offers us the chance to reflect on the history of our college and of the profession,” said Davenport campus President Donald Kern, D.C. “We are fortunate to be a part of the Palmer legacy and be able to walk the same halls as the founding family.”
