F MAYNARD LIPE, DC, DABCO, FACO
1907 -1995
The founding father of chiropractic orthopedics, which grew to become the profession's largest specialty, Dr. Lipe was a physician and an educator whose nationwide efforts produced an impressive surge in the expansion of progressive scientific chiropractic practice.
Under his leadership, interprofessional relationships and programs were initiated which have since become commonplace. As former Dean of the Los Angeles Chiropractic College Graduate School, Dr. Lipe held firmly to the principle that postgraduate training should be under chiropractic college auspices and not as entrepreneurial enterprises.
As an inspiring organizer, he created and/or promoted:
- The American College of Chiropractic Orthopedists (ACCO)
- The ACA Council on Orthopedics (CCO)
- The American Board of Chiropractic Orthopedists (ABCO)
- The Academy of Chiropractic Orthopedists (ACO)
Dr. Lipe also was largely responsible for having the Council on Chiropractic Education grant official recognition to the certification program of the ABCO.
A strong believer in the scientific principles of chiropractic, his teaching rested on a foundation of high ethical standards.
In Chiropractic's centennial year, during which he had received the ACCO "Distinguished Life Service Award", Dr. F. Maynard Lipe passed peacefully in his sleep, November 9, 1995.
So passed the physical being of a chiropractic giant whose spirit will infuse chiropractic eternally.
His friend and faithful colleague, Leonard J. Savage, DC, FACO

ACCO LETTER
July 25, 2007
Dear Fellow ACCO Members:
The ACCO is very pleased and proud to honor Dr. Lipe, who has contributed so much to the concept and development of the orthopedic specialty within our profession.
The F. Maynard Lipe Scholarship is available to those doctors enrolled in Post Graduate Orthopedics leading to diplomat status or the masters program in musculoskeletal manipulation and rehabilitation. This is good news for the advanced postgraduate student and I look forward to receiving articles for consideration of this award, which is a minimum of $500.00 annually. The candidate will submit, by December 31st annually, an original work–up of an interesting orthopedic patient suitable for publishing in the Journal of the American College of Chiropractic Orthopedists (JACCO). The winner or winners will be granted free registration to the annual ACCO convention where the award will be formally presented.
The ACCO executive board would like to increase the amount of the award thereby stimulating a greater interest in participation. Since the award is governed by the interest earned in the fund it will be necessary to increase the Lipe fund.
We therefore, NEED YOUR HELP, and are asking you to give generously to help the Lipe Scholarship Fund grow. As the ACCO is a nonprofit organization, your donations should be fully tax deductible. Be sure to consult with your financial advisor for your specific tax needs and circumstances.
Most Sincerely Yours,
Jesse R. Rothenberger, DC, FACO, FICC
Chairman - Lipe Scholarship
