Atlantic School of Osteopathy
Atlantic School of Osteopathy was a former school of osteopathy, which was founded in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania in 1898 and then moved to Buffalo, New York in 1904.
History[edit]
In 1898 Dr. Schuyler C. Mathews and Dr. Virgil A. Hook recruited several influential philanthropists, formed an organization, and then received a charter for the Atlantic School of Osteopathy on February 21, 1899.[1] The first presidents of the school were "Dr. V. A. Hook, Mr. J. C. Bell, and Dr. [John] W. Banning" and the first term began in February 1899.[2] Dr. William Smith, a Scottish physician, briefly served as president in 1900.
Originally the school was located in the Simon Long Building in Wilkes-Barre until the school purchased and remodeled the Central Methodist Episcopal Church in that same city.[3] In 1904, the school moved to Buffalo, New York. In 1905, the Buffalo Municipal Court issued a warrant for Banning's arrest due to his issuing diplomas without approval from the state board of regents.[4]
By 1906, the Atlantic School of Osteopathy merged with the American School of Osteopathy (now known as A.T. Still University) based in Missouri.[5][6]
