In its letter, the IRS conceded that Western States had a legitimate claim for tax-exempt status. However, the IRS would only extend that status retroactively to January 1, 1949. The college remained obligated to pay the accrued taxes in arrears for 1939 through 1948. Further litigation of the issue would cost more than what was owed in back taxes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/pdf\/UWS_Chapter_3\/Tax_Free_Letter.pdf\">WSC awarded tax free status by IRS<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/pdf\/UWS_Chapter_3\/synergist_may_50.pdf\">Synergist: Voice of the Student Body, May 1950<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/pdf\/UWS_Chapter_3\/synergist_oct_50.pdf\">Synergist: Voice of the Student Body, October 1950<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/pdf\/UWS_Chapter_3\/commence_mar_50.pdf\">Graduating class March 1950<\/a><\/p>\n<p>On September 1, 1951, Appa Anderson, DC, DACBR, joined the WSC faculty.

To ensure there would be no backsliding on this commitment, Budden successfully advocated for an amendment to the Oregon Chiropractic Act that codified the requirement in statutory language. Western States was the first college to adopt a two-year, pre-professional education requirement, but there would be consequences. It would be years before all chiropractic colleges had a two-year, pre-professional education requirement and only then because it was mandated by policy from the Council on Chiropractic Education. Eventually, the chiropractic college presidents who most feared the requirement would deter students from enrolling at their colleges would come to appreciate the requirement actually attracted students \u2013 exactly as Budden had forecast.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/pdf\/UWS_Chapter_3\/synergist_jan_53.pdf\">Synergist: Voice of the Student Body, January 1953.<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/pdf\/UWS_Chapter_3\/synergist_feb_53.pdf\">Synergist: Voice of the Student Body, February 1953.<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/pdf\/UWS_Chapter_3\/synergist_mar_53.pdf\">Synergist: Voice of the Student Body, March 1953.<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/pdf\/UWS_Chapter_3\/synergist_apr_53.pdf\">Synergist: Voice of the Student Body, April 1953.<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/pdf\/UWS_Chapter_3\/commence_mar_53.pdf\">Graduating class March 1953.<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/pdf\/UWS_Chapter_3\/commence_jul_53.pdf\">Graduating class July 1953.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In late July 1954, Budden attended the National Chiropractic Association\u2019s annual convention in St. Louis, Missouri, where he presided over the meeting of the National Council on Education, as its president. During his drive back to Portland, Budden was involved in an automobile crash. Initially, it appeared that he was not seriously injured. However, on August 1, 1954, one week after the NCA convention adjourned, he collapsed and was pronounced dead upon arrival at a hospital in Portland. To say the very least, this was a devastating loss to WSC and a serious blow to the advancement of chiropractic education. His absence created a void that would not be filled quickly or easily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1950-1960: An Era Ends, Another Begins First organ transplanted.
