The Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) or it’s agents, have been seeking some form of university affiliation for at least 30 years, yet to date those efforts have been fruitless. It has been said that one’s success is not measured by the position you have attained - but by the obstacles you have had to overcome to get there. CMCC has run into many stumbling blocks on the road to amalgamation. This triad of papers, Part 1 (JCCA 1992; 36(1):33-37) and Part III to follow at a later date, will endeavour to describe and document those barriers and the resourceful attempts that have been marshalled to surmount them.Part I, 1945 to 1969, concentrates on the first recorded proposals, emanating from the Western Divisions of the Canadian Chiropractic Association (CCA). Part II, 1969 to 1988, will outline the scattergun method that was used to approach numerous institutions, primarily in Ontario. Part III, 1988 to 1991, will focus on an account of the push for union with the University of Victoria, in British Columbia (U Vic).
