LOOKING BACK From the Intercom of August 1955 Duke Hospital celebrated its 25th year last month...Dr. [Wilburt C.] Davison said, “July 21, 1955 was a great deal cooler than July 21, 1930..." It could also be that we weren't nearly so harassed on the latter date. * * * ^ A 14-year-old hoy is ihe first patient to be treated under a new and expanded program of the Duke Brace and Instrument Shop. The patient, Riley Brown of Fayetteville, is benefiting from a new program in the creation of artificial limbs and the rehabilitation of amputees. The Duke team responsible for the innovations which make Duke the only hospital in the country where such new materials are available consists of Bert R. Titus, director of the Duke Brace Shop, Miss Cornelia Watson, occupational therapist, and Dr. Leonard Goldner, orthopaedic surgeon. * * * Ellie Flanagan, Conny Jenks and Helen Kaiser attended the P.T. Convention in St. Louis from June 19-24, and participated in the School Section Workshops preceding the convention. Miss Kaiser is the chairman of this section. The convention was also a reunion for about 17 former Duke University physical therapy staff members and students who were there. * * * [From "I remember when..." by Ross PorterJ Yes, the first quarter century has been fun and we all have memories of big things and little things which belong to us alone. The good part is that this is only the beginning. We continue to share with a constantly renewing group the same ideals and purposes and a new set of experiences which will look as good to us after a second quarter century as the first ones do now. rk DIRECT FROM THE AUTHOR — The Hospital Auxiliary library recently received nearly 100 books written by Dr. Frank G.
