In 1908, the school moved to Chicago, because its founder desired a more scientifically rigorous academic culture. Another reason that Howard relocated to the Chicago area was that he received an agreement allowing his students to have access to anatomical study of cadavers at the nearby Cook County Hospital. After being chartered and incorporated by the State of Illinois, the college's first home was on Congress Street across from Presbyterian Hospital. In 1920, the college's enrollment had grown to such an extent that it needed a larger facility, so it purchased a five-story building at 20 N. Ashland and the name was changed to "The National College of Chiropractic." In 1927, the college established its first clinic, the "Chicago General Health Service," which remained in operation until 2008. In 1942, the college became a not-for-profit educational and research institution under the corporate laws of Illinois and the United States Department of the Treasury governing tax-exempt institutions. In 1963, National relocated its campus to Lombard, Illinois in suburban Chicago where it remains today. In 1968, the Chiropractic Institute of New York was merged into National. In 2000, it adopted the university structure and changed its name to National University of Health Sciences. In 2009, the university entered into a partnership with St. Petersburg College, a public community college in St. Petersburg, Florida, to provide a doctor of chiropractic degree at the St. Petersburg College campus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Going Public With Chiropractic Education )〕 The university currently operates six of its own clinics (four in Illinois, two in Florida), as well as two clinics housed by a not-for-profit outside mission organization serving transient clients.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our Centers )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National University of Health Sciences」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
