(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first
in a series of articles dealing with
Speech Clinic activities.)
By ROSE PERLBERG
In an unassuming three-story
stone and clapboard building on
east Huron St. behind Health
Service, people who have lost the
function of speech and under-
standing, laboriously regain "hu-
man" status.
Since 1937, the University Speech
Clinic has actively functionedas
an institute for Shuman adjust-
ment.
Such a rehabilitation center was
first considered by the late Dr.
John Kemper, onetime head of
the University's oral surgery de-
partment, whose work concerned
children with cleft palates.
Can Operate
"We can operate," Dr. Kemper
once said, "but we can't put speech
into our surgery,"
The oral surgeon felt an urgent
need for a Speech Clinic to teach
handicapped youngsters to talk.
His wish was fulfilled when
Mary A. Rackham donated one
million dollars to the University
for the purpose of human adjust-
ment and the clinic became one
of its units.
Clinic Director
For 16 years, Prof. Harlan H.
Union To Provide
Movie Showing,
Travel Services
Hoping to give hardworking
students a study break, the Union
has arranged to show a free movie
at 8 p.m. Wednesday in the Ball-
room.
"The Man in a White Suit,"
starring Alec Guiness, Joan Green-
wood and Cecil Parker, is the film
that has been secured for the
evening.
Hailed as "rib-tickling satire," it
deals with the work of a chemist
who perfects a fabric that repels
dirt, thus bringing chaos to the
textile industry.
Also available to students dur-
ing the week of final examinations
will be the Union travel service
with files now located in the Union
lobby.
Interested students may fill out
rider or driver tards and file them
according to states.
IT,
Bloomer of the speech department
has been director of the clinic.
The tall, graying professor de-
scribed the clinic's progress over
the years. "We have expanded to
include six divisions," he said.
"And people come to us for treat-
ment from all over the country."
An examining division, which is
responsible for administering ex-
aminations to all people entering
the Clinic for treatment, the child-
ren's division, providing diagnosis
for various kinds of speech dis-
orders suffered by the younger
set and a similar division for
adults, make up three of the
clinic's areas of service.
Other Divisions
The others include a student'
division, a hearing division which
is concerned with speech problems
due to auditory impairment and
another dealing wholly with dys-
phasia.
It is the last division that
achieves, perhaps, the most re-
warding results, for those taking
therapy have lost the power to
use or understand language due
to injury or disease of the brain.
"People suffering from dyspha-
sia are those whose language has
once been normal," Prof. Bloomer
explained.
Variety of Causes
"The variety of causes of dys-
phasia, as well as the degrees of
its seriousness, are infinite," he
continued. The professor explained
that cerebral vascular accidents
such as stroke, hemorrhage or
thrombosis could cause injury to
the brain by depriving its cells of
vital oxygen and killing them. -
If the dead cells were those con-
cerned with speech, the individual
may suffer complete or partial loss
of language and the ability to un-
derstand it.
"Nerve cells don't regenerate,"
the director said, "but there are
billions of cells in the brain and
sometimes we are able to call
areas into speech function that
were not previously used."
Expression Differs
Dysphasia's expression may vary
among different patients, accord-
ing to which part of the brain was
damaged.
"Some people can read but are
unable to talk, others can'talk but
not understand," the soft-spoken
professor remarked.
Calling the rehabilitation course
for dysphasia "highly comprehen-
sive and intensive," Prof. Bloomer
feels that its aid reaches beyond
the patients 'directly involved.
"The knowledge we gain in
treating these people sheds light
on the function of language and
its deficiencies in general," he
said.
