THE NEWHere is a glimpse of newpeople and new directions.Buildings go up, remodel­ing proceeds, and money issomehow found, but most im­portant for our University arethe men and women withimagination, industry, and in­tegrity who will utilize thesetools to recast the old and cre­ate the new.WILLIAM DOYLE and MARTINHANKE in the Abbott throughway discusstheir new positions as Associate Dean andClinical Chemistry Laboratory Director, re­spectively. DWIGHT CLARK fills the illustriouschair of the Department of Surgery.2 MEDICAL AL UMNI BULLETINCLARK AND MOSELEY GET CHAIRSContinuing the youthful vigor of thenew chairs in the Division of the Biolog­ical Sciences, Dean Coggeshall hasnamed Dwight Clark and RobertMoseley to head the departments ofSurgery and Radiology.Forty-eight-year-old Dwight EdwinClark first came to The University ofChicago Clinics in 1937 as a surgical in­tern. He completed his training, includ­ing chief residency, by 1944. His Armyservice was with the Manhattan Projectat Oak Ridge, Tennessee, from 1944 to1947. Returning to the University, hebecame associate professor and secre­tary of the department, moving to fullprofessor in 1951. He is one of the out­standing surgeons in the field of thyroiddiseases, having done monumental workwith radio-isotopes in thyroid physiol­ogy and in the relation of radiationtherapy to thyroid carcinoma. Another major research interest is tissue trans­plantation. He is a member of the elitesocieties of surgery and on the Board ofGovernors of the American College ofSurgeons.He received his A.B. from WesternReserve University and the M.S. andM.D. from the University of Rochester.One of our most popular surgeons andoften called the "doctor's surgeon," hehas been so busy that he does most ofhis paper work at home, and this mustbe difficult because there he is sur­rounded by three beautiful women, hiswife Eleanor and two daughters, Judithand Elizabeth.Thirty-four-year-old Robert DavidMoseley, Jr., has become professor andchairman of the Department of Radiol­ogy. A graduate of Louisiana State Uni­versity, he came to The University of Chicago in 1949 as assistant resident inradiology. From 1950 to 1952 he was atthe Los Alamos Special Research Proj­ect, and from 1952 to 1954 he was radi­ologist at the Naval Dispensary inWashington, D.C., and at Great LakesNaval Hospital. He returned in 1954 asinstructor, became assistant professor in1955 and associate professor in 1957.These crowded years have neverthelessfound him doing research in the vascularresponse to radiation, in the develop­ment of special techniques for surveys,and most recently in the developmentof the use of image intensifiers for theimplantation of radioactive-isotopesources in the pituitary gland by thenasal trans-sphenoidal method. He hasalso been applying the fluoroscopic imageintensifiers to clinical practice and cine­radiography. Bob and Janet Moseleyhave two sons and a daughter.NEW GENETICIST AND CARDIOLOGISTTwo exciting new positions and twoexciting new people: Kimball ChaseAtwood, senior biologist at the OakRidge National Laboratory, has beennamed associate professor in the depart­ments of Obstetrics and Gynecologyand Zoology. Following an A.B. at Co­lumbia and an M.D. at New York Uni­versity, he interned at Bellevue Hospitalin 1946 and 1947 and then for fouryears was research associate in zoologyat Columbia University. In 1951 he be­came senior biologist at Oak Ridge,where his major interests have been inradiation genetics and the biochemicalgenetics of Neurospora. He has done agreat deal of summer work at the Ma­rine Biological Laboratory at Wood'sHole. Married since 1945. he and hiswife Barbara have four children.* * *Throughout the country there hasbeen an expanded interest in the clinicaland medical-physiological aspects ofcardiac and cardiopulmonary diseases.Up to the present time there has beenonly a modest reflection of this increas­ing interest in the clinical departmentshere. The Radiology Department hasobtained and developed spectacular car­diological diagnostic equipment. Com­plementing this, the Department of Sur­gery is prepared with diagnostic and The nimble KIMBALL ATWOOD in hislaboratory expressively discusses the newdirection-he is medical geneticist with ajoint appointment in Zoology and Obstetricsand Gynecology.therapeutic equipment for all types ofclosed- and open-heart surgical proce­dures. Pediatrics and medicine, ofcourse, have groups of men interestedin these specific areas.Tossed into the middle of this isthirty-one-year-old Murray Rabino­witz, associate professor of medicineand research associate (associate pro­fessor) in biochemistry. He is directorof the new Central CardiopulmonaryLaboratory. His clinical interests and activities will be primarily in the cardiaccatheterization and diagnostic labora­tory; his research centers on uniquechemical studies related to the myo­cardium.He has had a most diversified train­ing. He is a B.A. (1947) and an M.D.(1950) from New York University; heinterned at Beth Israel Hospital in NewYork City and was assistant resident inmedicine at Montefiore Hospital thefollowing year. For the next two yearshe was a fellow in the cardiac catheteriza­tion laboratory of Lewis Dexter at thePeter Bent Brigham Hospital and anassistant in medicine. In 1954-55 he wasresident at the Massachusetts GeneralHospital. The following year he went toDavid Green's laboratory in the Insti­tute for Enzyme Research at the Uni­versity of Wisconsin, and the followingtwo years were spent with Fritz Lip­mann in biochemical research, first atMassachusetts General and iast year atthe Rockefeller Institute for MedicalResearch in New York. Performing allthis work and at the same time collab­orating in a number of papers in medi­cine, physiology, and biochemistry, hehas somehow managed to obtain his cer­tificate as a diplomate of the AmericanBoard of Internal Medicine.We hope to let you hear from thesetwo men in the future.MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETIN 3DOYLE-HANKE-MOORE-W ARNERProfessor William Doyle of theDepartment of Anatomy has been namedAssociate Dean of the Division of Bio­logical Sciences in charge of non-clinicalaffairs.After a Master's degree (1932) anda Ph.D. (1934) in zoology at the JohnsHopkins University, Dr. Doyle was aBruce Fellow 'at Hopkins, a RockefellerFellow at Cambridge, and in 1936-37studied at the Carlsberg Laboratories inCopenhagen. He taught biology at BrynMawr for five years and in 1942 cameto The University of Chicago as assist­ant professor of pharmacology. In 1946he became associate professor of anat­omy and professor in 1950. Most of hisresearch has been in enzyme histochem­istry and histology and the physiology ofairborne particulates.Martin E. Hanke, associate professorof biochemistry, has assumed the job ofDirector of the Clinical Chemistry Lab­oratory. Dean Coggeshall has in recentyears worked out the potentialities forconsolidation of the clinical chemistrylaboratories now being operated inde­pendently in the departments through­out the hospitals, and Dr. Hanke hastaken over the job of effecting this anddirecting the laboratory. Well known tomost of you, Dr. Hanke received hisPh.D. in organic chemistry in 1921 andhas been at the University Hospital ofthe Rockefeller Institute, at the IllinoisInstitute of Technology, and on the fac­ulty in biochemistry here since 1922. In1955-56 he and his wife Maude were atthe U.S. Naval Medical Research Unitin Cairo, Egypt. One of their two chilodren, Martin, Jr., was graduated fromour medical school last June.From 1941 to 1946 the operating­room tables at the University had to bemade higher for six-foot seven-inchRobert Dunham Moore, orthopedicsurgeon. Following a term in the Navyfrom 1944 to 1946, he went into privatepractice for ten years in Kankakee, Illi­nois, and South Bend, Indiana. He hasfinally come home and has been namedassociate professor of orthopedic sur­gery, and the extensions must go backon the legs of the operating tables.Dr. Moore received his A.B. fromthe University of California in 1935 andhis M.D. from Rochester in 1939; heinterned at The University of ChicagoClinics and served a residency at theUniversity of Missouri. Orthopod Mooreand his wife have two children. NANCY WARNER-the feminine butfirm and decisive touch continues in Surgi­cal Pathology.Nancy E. Warner has a Bachelor'sdegree from The University of Chicagoas well as an M.D. (1949). She was in­tern and resident here until 1953, whenshe went to Cedars of Lebanon Hospitalin Los Angeles, where she completed herresidency and remained as assistant pa­thologist.Nancy came home January 1 as anassistant professor of pathology. Shecame back to the place where she haddelightfully learned surgical pathologywith Eleanor Humphreys and where, tothe pleasure of her colleagues in pathol­ogy and surgery, she has taken chargeon October 1.Her research has covered a variety ofstudies in pathology and cancer.ROBERT DUNHAM MOOREBones and Joints Forever! RESIDENT NEWSGREGGLucien A. Gregg ('36-'39) has left theUniversity of Pittsburgh to join the staff ofthe Rockefeller Foundation as associate di­rector for medical education and publichealth. His first assignment is in India,where he expects to be for several years.Robert Harrison received the ChicagoSurgical Society's award for his paper,"Should a Chronic Atelectatic Lung Be Re­aerated or Excised?"Mary Jane Jensen ('51-'53) was certifiedby the Institute for Psychoanalysis last June.David o. Jesberg (Intern, '54-'55) com­pleted three years of residency in ophthal­mology at the University of California and isnow on a fellowship in the retina service ofMassachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary.NEW GERIATRICHOSPITALThe Chicago Home for Incurables hasbecome affiliated with The University ofChicago. The Home, which has been lo­cated at Ellis Avenue and 56th Street,will construct a new hospital adjacent toThe Clinics and will become a model cen­ter for the study and treatment of chron­ic illness, with special emphasis on olderage groups. The Home will use $1.5million of its funds to build the newhospital, which will be three stories andbasement, and the University will pro­vide the medical and specialized serviceswhich will enable the hospital to renderan active program of treatment and re­habilitation. The Chicago Home for In­curables was established by the will ofClarissa Park of Chicago, who died in1885. The Home was incorporated onDecember 20, 1886, and opened itsmain building in 1890.4 ME DIe A L ALUM NIB U L LET I NMEDICAL SCHOOL CURRICULUMPAGEAfter many meetings the Medical Ed­ucation Study Group submitted a reportin June, 1956, of the major problems asthey existed then. (1) The work loadwas too heavy in the junior year andtoo light in the senior year. (2) Manystudents were working as externs inneighborhood hospitals, not under thesupervision or control of the medicalschool. (3) Our students had little ex­perience in following patients in the out­patient clinic; that is, they learned to"work up" patients on their initial visitsbut rarely were able to see the results oftheir diagnostic and therapeutic efforts.(4) Psychiatric teaching was thought tohave an inadequate part in the program.I should now like to describe whatwas done to attempt to resolve theseproblems and how the new program hasworked. Figure 1 shows the program forthe last two years before the change;Figure 2 shows the current program.The major changes are: seniors are inresidence for the whole year; obstetricsand gynecology are taught in the senioryear, and junior psychiatry is in thesame quarter as pediatrics instead ofmedicine and has doubled its time (bothmedicine and pediatrics have increasedtheir teaching time in the junior year);correlative pathology is now taught in How widespread our interest is in contin­ually improving the medical curriculum isperhaps best indicated by the committeeswho are working on this problem.In 1956 Dean Coggeshall appointed anad hoc clinical committee called the MedicalEducation Study Group, composed of Rob­ert H. Ebert (Medicine), Chairman (Rob­ert G. Page was appointed chairman whenDr. Ebert left in June of that year), C.Knight Aldrich (Psychiatry), J. J. Ceit­haml (Dean of Students), 1. T. Coggeshall,William Kabisch (Anatomy), GeorgeLeRoy (Medicine), Charles McCartney(Obstetrics and Gynecology), John VanProhaska (Surgery) , Robert Wissler(Pathology), and Howell Wright (Pedia­trics). In 1955 the standing CurriculumCommittee was dissolved.Subsequently, a non-clinical committeewas initiated with Earl Evans (Biochemis­try) as chairman and William Burrows(Microbiology), J. J. Ceithaml, WilliamKabisch, Robert G. Page and John Perkins(Physiology), Lloyd Roth (Pharmacology),and H. Burr Steinbach (Zoology) as mem­bers.Medicine 5/6Psychiatry 1/6SurgerySurgicalPathologyJunior Pathology 2 hours per week for the entire year.SENIORMedicineincludingPsychiatrySurgerySurgicalPathologyOPD SemesterSurgery- Medicine- PsychiatryCorrelative Pathology (4 hrs/wk) With the reports of these committees athand, an over-all Committee on Educationwas named in May, 1958, to handle most ofthe objectives. This committee is composedof Dean Coggeshall, Dean Ceithaml, As­sociate Dean Doyle, and Assistant DeanPage.Three subcommittees were named to studyparticular problems:On interns and clinical education-RobertG. Page, Dwight Clark, Harry Oberhel­man, Jr., Glen Hayden, Wright Adams,Robert Daniels, and Mr. Ray Brown.On undergraduate education-CharlesOlmsted, Chairman, William Doyle, H.Burr Steinbach, 1. T. Coggeshall, andJoseph J. Ceithaml.On the preparation of teachers-CharlesOlmsted, Chairman, Robert 1. McCaul(Education), H. Burr Steinbach, HaroldA. Anderson (Education), Joseph J. Ceit­haml, William Doyle, John I. Goodlad(Education), and Daniel I. Harris.The recommendations of the ad hoc clin­ical committee have resulted in the first ma­jor changes in effect this year. Their workis described by Robert G. Page in the ac­companying article.JUNIORPediatrics 1/2Ob.·Gyn. 1/2FIGURE 1JUNIORPediatrics 2/3Psychiatry 1/3SENIOROb.-Gyn. 1/4Electives 3/4FIGURE 2the senior year; "long clinics" have beeninstituted in medicine and psychiatry inthe senior OPD semester.Although the full program was start­ed this summer, the OPD semester wasinitiated in the summer of 1957. Theproblems connected with the start ofthis program were somewhat complex,since each senior had a slightly different schedule. Although most of the changeshave just begun to be felt, it can besaid that the "long clinic" program hasbeen a success. Students are able tofollow patients in one psychiatric clinicand in one medical clinic once a weekfor an eighteen-week period. This hasallowed them to assume responsibilityfor patient care that was impossible inMEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETIN 5the past. To be sure, this is only a smallexperience and, indeed, a variable one,but those who have been associatedwith students in this program have beenenthusiastic about it. The students feelthat this is a valuable experience.The junior year is still a heavy one.The students work as hard as they havein the past. But moving the course incorrelative pathology from the junior tothe senior year has accomplished twothings. It has lightened the load in thejunior year, and correlation of systemat­ic pathology with clinical medicine andresearch has become more meaningful inthe senior year.The effect of having the senior classin residence for the whole year is yetto be evaluated. We hope that there willbe fewer students working in outsidehospitals. With a desire to have all ex­ternships (credit and non-credit) in ourhospitals and supervised by our person­nel, we have tried to create opportuni­ties for employment in the medicalschool and hospital. Our elective pro­gram has been expanded so that morecourses are available for students. Re­search opportunities for students con­tinue to be abundant. There has beenno evidence of decreased student interestin research.In order to combat the ever increas­ing demands for more teaching time asthe body of knowledge increases, wemust be alert continually to avoid un­necessary duplication and to teach whatis necessary as efficiently as possible.Such efforts must cross departmentallines. At the present time, some of thisis being done. I think that it will benecessary to improve interdepartmentalteaching efforts. This is under informaldiscussion at present.There are two aspects of this effortwhich are important and which have notyet been discussed. Good teaching re­quires good teachers. The discussionwhich resulted when curricular changeswere suggested created a renewed in­terest in the problems of education bythe entire faculty. As a result more in­dividual effort to improve teaching hasbeen stimulated. Groups and depart­ments have spent considerable time onself-appraisal and criticism.As these changes in the clinical yearshave been initiated, the non-clinicalcommittee has been evaluating the firsttwo years. Certain changes are now be­ing made with the hope for improve­ment. An ongoing committee will con­tinue to examine our methods so that, CONVOCATION ANDDEDICATION OFMAP RESEARCHLABORATORYThe Mothers' Aid Research Pavilionwas dedicated on June 13 and 14. De­signed to provide superb research facili­ties for the study of mammalian repro­duction, it will encourage a closer appli­cation of basic biological studies to theproblems of human reproduction, there­by bringing new knowledge for improvedcare of mothers and babies.At Convocation, honorary Sc.D. de­grees were conferred upon Nicholson J.Eastman, professor of obstetrics andobstetrician-in-chief at the Johns Hop­kins University, and George W. Corner,director emeritus of the Carnegie Institu­tion of Embryology and historian to theRockefeller Institute for Medical Re­search.At the dinner on Friday evening, DeanLowell T. Coggeshall reviewed currenttrends in research and teaching in ourmedical schools. The scientific programon Saturday was devoted to a discussionof the expanding frontiers of knowledgeof human reproduction. Distinguishedalumni and guests participated in thisprogram.as new ideas arise, they can be incor­porated into the medical curriculum.One question which must always bekept in mind is the relationship of ourmethods to those of other schools ofmedicine. In traveling about the coun­try, one hears of the great changestaking place in this or that medicalschool. As I have considered these, Ihave come to realize that most of the"changes" that have been touted as newhave been established at the Universityof Chicago for many years. For this wecan thank the farsightedness of thosewho started our school thirty-one yearsago. Our elective program is still theenvy of many. Our individualized teach­ing program is looked upon as ideal, asis our staff-to-student ratio. We must,however, be alert to avoid complacency;we must try constantly to evaluate our­selves so that we will be able to main­tain the stature of our school among thefew "best" medical schools in the coun­try.ROBERT G.

Richter, Rush '25, pre­sented the Medical Alumni Key to the"died-in-the-wool Chicago man," HilgerPerry Jenkins. He emphasized his greatefforts as the "father" of the MedicalAlumni Association, both at its incep­tion in 1933 and since 1944, when it wasreorganized.It was especially fitting that HilgerJenkins should be awarded the gold keybecause this is the same key that hisartist-father, Hilger Dodge Jenkins, de­signed in 1929. It was originally pre­sented to finishing residents, then usedfor a class key in 1933, and, under Hil­ger's stimulation, adopted as the Medi­cal Alumni Key in 1944.Howard Hatcher was selected to pre­sent the Gold Key of the Medical Alum­ni to our mutual idol, Eleanor Hum­phreys, and he justified the choicewhen he presented the key simply andin short order, "from your students."Her long walk to and from the frontwas accompanied by a standing ovation.25th ANNIVERSARYREUNIONJohn Van Prohaska, '33, organized asuccessful reunion of fifty alumni of theclasses of 1933 and 1934 last June 11-13.A scientific program in which the partici­pants were members of one of the anni­versary classes was the high point of thethree-day reunion.The Senior Scientific Session on the11 th and the Reunion Banquet on the12th gave added interest and pleasure tothe visitors' return to The Clinics. D.S.A.Dean Coggeshall presided at the pres­entation of the Distinguished ServiceAwards.Louis Leiter, S.M., '20, M.D., Rush'22, Ph.D., '24, clinical professor ofmedicine at Columbia University andchief of the Medical Division of Monte­fiore Hospital, was presented by EmmetB. Bay, Rush '23. He said Dr. Leiterwas noted: as first in the annual exami­nation battle for the Cook County Hos­pital Internship; as the best teacher ininternal medicine when he was at TheUniversity of Chicago; and now as oneof the world's most esteemed and re­spected scholars and medical teachers.William Wallace SCOtt, Ph.D., 38,M.D., '39, professor of urology at theJohns Hopkins University, was describedby Cornelius Vermeulen, '37, as abroadly educated urologist now headingthe famed Brady Urological Institute,who continues to do good research and isknown by the grapevine as "the bestteacher in the hospital."LeRoy Hendrick Sloan, Rush '17,was presented by Walter Palmer, Rush'21, as a great medical statesman whohas been president of the Chicago Soci­ety of Internal Medicine, the Instituteof Medicine, and the American Collegeof Physicians. His career of teachingstudents of Rush, Northwestern, andIllinois culminated as clinical professorof medicine at the University of Illinoiswhere he is now on emeritus status.Ernest H. Yount, Jr., professor anddirector of the Department of Medicineat Bowman-Gray Medical School, wasthe youngest recipient of the Distin­guished Service Award. He was pre­sented by Wright Adams. After com­pleting his residency in 1947, he wentto North Carolina and thence to Bow­man-Gray, where he has moved meteor­ically to departmental director in 1952and a professorship in 1954. He wasMarkle Scholar in 1950--55. GIER AND PALMERREUNION SPEAKERSRichard Gier spoke for his class,proud of its many stars and their scien­tific and clinical accomplishments, butalso proud of the whole class and confi­dent of its future as a group and asindividuals. Humble but not meek, hespoke for all "thirds" of this great class.Walter Lincoln Palmer, speaking forthe faculty, congratulated the reunionclasses and the graduating class. He re­called many contrasts in medical train­ing between 1908 and 1958, notably thechange from little patient contact andhundreds of lectures to small-group pa­tient and teacher contact with few lec­tures. The internship was ascending in1908, but there were no residencies orspecialty boards. He predicted that 90per cent of the 1958 graduates wouldspecialize.He pointed out that the role of re­search in the educational program hasreceived increasing attention in the lastfifty years, and he proudly recalled thetwenty-six out of sixty-nine of this grad­uating class who had participated in theSenior Scientific Session the day before.Looking to the future, he predictedthat the graduating class would see con­trol of infectious diseases and cancer intheir time, but only partial control ofmental diseases. He further indicatedthat organization of groups, specializa­tion, and a decrease of the role of thegeneral practitioner would continuewhether the class liked it or not. Theymust face the effects of further social­ization and aptly commented that "it ishard to compete with Santa Claus." Heclosed by urging them to remember al­ways to have the heart of the countrydoctor in their patient relationships nomatter how complex, organized, ormechanized the practice of medicinemight become.BORDEN AWARDJoseph Ceitharnl described the diffi­culties and anguish associated withchoosing the winner of the BordenAward any year and then gave somedetail on the multiple balloting re­quired in this year's more-difficult-than­usual selection.Donald R.

Heattended elementary and high school inNorfolk; was graduated from Wilber­force University, Xenia, Ohio, in 1924,with a B.A. degree; and in 1925 re­ceived a B.S. from the University ofChicago.After receiving his M.D. from Rushin 1930 and following his internship atFreedman's Hospital in Washington,D.C., he returned to The University ofChicago as a fellow in internal medicineand digestive diseases at Provident and Cook County hospitals. In 1933 he re­ceived an M.S. in pathology at theUniversity of Illinois, did further post­graduate work at The Clinics under Ru­dolf Schindler, the inventor of the mod­ern gastroscope, and organized ProvidentHospital's clinic of digestive diseases. Heentered his specialty in 1934 and in1946 was certified in gastroenterologyby the American Board of InternalMedicine.He is at present senior attending phy­sician at Cook County and Providenthospitals and professor at the CookCounty Post Graduate School of Medi­cine.He is the founder and co-ordinator ofthe narcotics clinic program of theState's Department of Public Healthand a member of the Mayor's Commis­sion on Human Relations. His plan formedical counseling clinics for youngnarcotic addicts was used as the basisfor legislation of the Sixty-seventh Illi­nois General Assembly.12 MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETINHODGES IN THECLINICSDr. Hodges' role in the growth andprogress of Billings Hospital and themedical school has been so great thatit is difficult to select from his manycontributions those which are most im­portant.His contributions in service to severalhundred thousand patients have beengreat. He started a small X-ray depart­ment. which grew with the hospital andclinics, During the more than thirtyyears of his service the number of hispatients increased and, in even greatermeasure, the specialty of radiologygrew. He took good care of his patientsand stayed at the forefront of his spe­cialty. Now the department which hebuilt is one of the largest of its kind inthe country. This professional accom­plishment alone would be enough formost men, but it is only a small part ofhis contribution to us.He has conducted an active researchand development program throughouthis career and also stimulated researchin his department and contributed tomany other programs through his inter­est and advice. The tremendous advancesin diagnostic and therapeutic radiology,the birth and growth of the use of iso­topes. and the new sources of radiationwhich have come to our institution allbear the stamp of his genius.In addition. he has been an outstand­ing teacher, at both the undergraduateand the house-staff level. His Wednes­day-evening student conferences areamong the most popular and stimulatingteaching exercises for the medical stu­dents. Numerous alumni of his resi­dency program in radiology constitutethe best evidence of his contributions toteaching in this area. They are a distin­guished group. Among them are a sub­stantial proportion of academic radiolo­gists. Another teaching activity has beenhis continuous influence on the staff. Hehas always been ready to consult aboutdiagnosis. His gentle. kindly, and pene­trating discussions of clinical problemshave contributed to the development ofall of us on the staff. He has always en­couraged the concept that radiology isa clinical diagnostic method, an exten­sion of the physical examination, andthat every physician should have somecompetence in the field.Perhaps more important than his de­velopment of radiology in the hospitaland medical school has been the enor- HODGESHODGES EMERITUSPaul Chesley Hodges retired fromThe University of Chicago on June30, 1958. He had been professor ofradiology since 1928 and chairman ofthe department since 1953, when ra­diology was first made an independ­ent department.A traveling fellowship of $7,500was established in Dr. Hodges' honorby his former students and assistantsat the time of the meeting of the Ra­diological Society of North Americain Chicago a year ago. At a banquetgiven for him by his friends and asso­ciates at the University in Novemberhe was presented with a bound vol­ume of his own reprints.Dr. Hodges will continue at theUniversity as professor emeritus.mous influence he has had on the growthof the clinical departments and hospitalsas a whole. He was one of a small groupof able, dedicated men who set the pat­tern of our growth in the early days. Healso helped to guide the institutionthrough many problems of infancy,childhood, and adolescence. Those of uswho are proud of what we are mustalways admire Paul Hodges for thegreat contributions he has made to TheClinics. His accomplishments in radiol­ogy have been large, but he has alwaysworked on a much broader front thanthat of his specialty.It is fitting to acknowledge our debtto him on the occasion of his retire­ment, but we rejoice in the fact that heis healthy and vigorous. We look for­ward to many more years of help fromhim in his capacity as professor emeri­tus.WRIGHT ADAMSChairman, Department of Medicine PAUL HODGES ANDTHE UNIVERSITYLast week I met Paul Hodges comingout of the Classics Building. This is 'astrange place to find a physician, and,had it been another, I might have fearedthat he had come on an emergency pro­fessional call. But, instead of the littleblack bag. he carried a textbook onbasic Russian that explained his pres­ence east of Ellis Avenue, and he trottedon to some other assignment withoutpausing to tell whether his urge to mas­ter a new language had been promptedby Lysenko or Pasternak. Perhaps byboth. for Paul ranges far afield in hisreading. Anyhow, it occurred to methat here was a man who was at homeanywhere in the University-on eitherside of the lectern in a classroom, at theround table in the Quadrangle Club, orat the council table of the UniversitySenate. It was in the Council of theSenate and in its Committee that I firstcame to know Paul well, and, withknowledge, came respect and affection.The change from the old Senate offull professors to a more widely basedSenate with an elected Council and Ex­ecutive Committee had occurred in 1945.Paul Hodges had been chosen to bothbodies in their initial year and was con­tinued in office through 1947-48; twicehe served as the Committee's spokes­man. After a decent interval of twoyears for rest and recuperation he wasreturned to both bodies for three years,1950-53, and in each year he was namedspokesman. Voting for P. C. H. seemedby that time to be as natural as it hadonce seemed natural to vote for F. D. R.,and I might add that P. C. H.'s record offive terms will probably stand withoutbenefit of a Twenty-second Amendment.The first years were all-important inestablishing on a firm basis the newstructure for faculty participation in thecontrol of University affairs: the stat­utes and by-laws had been formulatedwith boldness and imagination, but here,as in any new constitution, interpreta­tion must playas important a part asstatute. The University was fortunatein that the Committee during its firsttwo years included a remarkably ablegroup of statesmen who were capable oflooking beyond the narrow confines oftheir own departments.Paul Hodges was such a statesman.He had too something of the politician'sskill-and I use this term with no in-MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETIN 13vidious connotation, believing firmly thatthe practical arts of the politician areas necessary for right rule as is thevision of the statesman-a skill whichcould be best sensed when one saw himat work in a caucus or in rounding upvotes for some measure in the Council.But he was at his best in the making ofpolicy or in trying to find some equitablesolution to a problem which threatenedto divide the University. Here his emi­nent saneness and balance kept him onan even keel when some of us werefloundering a tempest of debate. Hiscourage was tempered with patience.Where there were marked differences ofopinion within the Councilor Commit­tee or University, he utilized his realtalents for effecting an acceptable com­promise, but he was never willing tocompromise where a principle was in­volved.Paul's reports as spokesman weremodels of a literary genre others of ushave found hard to master. Those state­ments were as brief as the occasionallowed and as little encumbered withthe hackneyed phrases encouraged byour parliamentary forms; they were in­formative and objective. He wrote withlucidity and grace. He had, too, a savinggift of kindly humor to liven a dullmeeting. and a mode of delivery thatcombined dignity and ease. At the year'send he would give a brief resume of ouraccomplishments that somehow left usfeeling that all our toiling and sweatingand shouting had not been in vain.It is the chief virtue of a great uni­versity that it is ever breeding greatmen to take the place of those whom itloses. None is indispensable. But I havefelt a personal loss since Paul has re­tired. Probably the beginning class inRussian has gained thereby, but theCouncil and its Committee have lost.The medical school was brought tothe Midway in 1927 in the hope that itsteaching and research might be moreclosely integrated with other programsin the University. Paul Hodges came tooin the same year, to become a sort ofsymbol of the fulfilment of that hope;he was a loyal member of his depart­ment and his division, but he was aswell a citizen of the wider communitywhich is the University, and it was thatwhich has claimed his first loyalty andlove.JAMES L.
