If there isany significance in this seeming neglectof more than thirty years it must meanthat others before me have had the for­titude to say no, or that the Central Ad­ministration realizes physicians speakEnglish no better than they usuallywrite it. In any case this is a ticklishspot. It would be presumptuous, not tosay pretentious, of me to speak for myfellow clinicians. Yet that is exactlywhat I am about to do, knowing fullwell that I shall be pilloried by mybrethren tomorrow if I am lucky enoughto find a place at table in the ultra pri­vate Doctors' Dining Room of the Bil­lings cafeteria. There is, however, oneadvantage in being the first clinical an­nual sitting duck of the Faculty. It isthe opportunity to choose the most ob­vious and hackneyed, but at the sametime the most risky topic available, forI should like to speak about the placeof The Clinics of the University.In a way it would seem superfluous tomention the subject when one remem­bers that faculties of medicine were in­tegral parts of continental universitiesbefore the Renaissance. As early asthat, however, the schoolmen of the pro­fessional schools were not always wel­come or worthy members of the uni­versity community. One recalls the tire­less animosity with which Petrarch at­tacked them for stifling the free playof the intellect by their formalism, ped­antry, traditions and superstitions. Cli­nicians, it seems, were prima donnaseven then. Let me add that this human­istic allusion has not been dragged inby the hair for decorative purposes,but rather to give my ideological op­ponents the chance to observe thatthings haven't changed much. In thiscountry integral association of schools By RICHARD B. RICHTER, M.D., '25Professor of Medicineof medicine with universities came late,but it is of interest to note that theAmerican university which first com­pletely differentiated the college fromadvanced study and research, JohnsHopkins, has from its beginning beenrenowned for its medical school andhospital. In the West a precedent hadbeen set, but not followed, long beforewhen a medical department was organ­ized in 1817 in that remarkable centerof culture and learning which sprouted,along with the blue grass, in Lexington,Kentucky at Transylvania University.But then and for long afterward medi­cal education in this country was large­ly in the hands of as shameless a collec­tion of trade schools as one can imag­ine.There can be no question that the as­similation of the medical schools by theuniversities accounts, more than any­thing else, for the spectacular progressin clinical medicine during the past fiftyyears. Yes, even more than the impactof the promotional departments of thegreat pharmaceutical houses or the en­lightened patients who watch Medicregularly. What has rubbed off uponthe clinical departments of the aims andmethods of the natural sciences and thestandards of academic scholarship hasstrengthened them immensely. This hasbeen particularly impressive at the Uni­versity of Chicago, not because our for­mer clinical departments at Rush Medi­cal College were weak-far from it­but because after moving to this cam­pus they were more intimately bound tothe body and spirit of the Universitythan is the case in any other medicalschool known to me. The intimacy wasachieved by two devices, unique to thisuniversity medical school. First, thecreation of a completely full time clini­cal faculty, free from distracting extra­mural calls upon its time or attention,either in its individual economic inter­est, or in its obligation to other groups.Secondly, the incorporation of the clini­cal departments into a broad Divisionof the Biological Sciences rather thantheir isolation as a relatively narrowprofessional school.These innovations have been a sourceof great strength to us and have hadmuch to do with the eminence we have acquired among medical schools in thicountry during the short thirty-cdryears of our existence. I can assure YOIwithout a blush that your medical schoodoes have eminence. I mention and eve Iemphasize these well known organizational facts because, introducing theiown special problems as they do, onhears from time to time of proposals tldiscontinue one or another of the arrangements. While circumstances couhconceivably arise making it seem expedient to change the system, I am convinced it would be a grave mistake tldo so under any conditions and doubthat more than, a very few of my clinical colleagues think otherwise. We couhgo it alone but we would lose important, if partly intangible, values by doing so and we like to believe that oubiologist confreres would too. Perhapit is too sanguine or is misinformed tlsay that the amalgamation of the clinical and the non-clinical departments ilthe Division is a firm one, that it workwell as federations go and that it is mutually advantageous, but so it seems tlme. If so, there is all the more rea SOlfor alarm at any sign of estrangemenon the part of the strictly scientific departments.Such feelings of disaffection as thermay be appear to arise from two causeson the one hand the idea that we, thclinical and non-clinical department!are ideationally incongruous, that oupurposes and methods are too divergenand, on the other hand the notion thathe Division has become unbalanced bfcause The Clinics have grown so larg:It would be an unfortunate metaphcboth ways to say the tail is trying twag the dog, but this is the general ide.The imposing tonnage of limestone ari!ing on the southwest corner of the carrpus (about which, incidentally, we armuch less self-conscious since the buiking of the new Law School) should ncbe misconstrued.' These hospitals atthe workshops, the laboratories and thlecture halls for the teaching activitieof the clinical departments and are ofsize necessary for the purpose. Only bconstant firsthand contact with patien'can undergraduate medical studen'learn the oasic facts of human disea'and the house officers its finer points.MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETIN 3--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------That the hospital is the indispensablenedium for the teaching of medicalstudents is no new idea. The great hos­pitals of Britain have functioned asnedical colleges of this kind for genera­:ions. As long ago as 1867 Oliver Wen­jell Holmes made the same point when�e said, "The most essential part of astudent's instruction is obtained as Iielieve, not in the lecture room, but atthe bedside. Nothing seen there is lost;the rhythms of disease are learned bylrequent repetition; its unforseen oc­:urrences stamp themselves indelibly onthe memory. Before the student isaware of what he has acquired he haslearned the aspects and causes andprobable issue of the diseases he hasseen with his teacher, and the propermode of dealing with them, so far ashis master knows." •What is new is the ownership and ad­ministration of the hospitals by the uni­versities. It has been the general expe­rience, with few exceptions, that nei­ther public nor private hospitals whereteaching, if it exists at all, is a second­ary consideration, provide acceptable,much less ideal facilities for students.The acquisition and control of theteaching hospitals by the universitieshas been a determining factor in theimprovement of medical education. Donot be misled by the ostentatious cashregister, the clattering IBM machinesand the jam-packed coffee shop on thefirst floor of Billings. Make no mistake,the hospitals of the University Clinicsare teaching hospitals in every bed ev­ery day of the year.We clinicians, of course, share theteaching of undergraduate medical stu­dents equally with most of the otherdepartments of the Division. It may bethat we do not share the teaching simul­taneously to the degree we ought, thatthere is not enough correlation, as thecatchword goes, but cooperation isgradually evolving among individualteachers who have an interest and aneed for it. This sort of natural growthof integrated teaching is all to the goodand is likely to be workable, unlike thatUnposed by doctrinaire curriculum ex­Perts within or without the University,Whose ideas are only to be mistrusted.The non-clinical and clinical depart­aents have a common ground not onlyof closely related teaching but also of�tellectual and research interests which,if not identical, are at least parallel. It� no longer possible in my opinion to:nake a hard distinction between basicand applied research, between what is pure and what is adulterated by consid­erations of utility, so often does the onelead into the other. It is true that muchclinical investigation, while needed andvaluable, requires little creative imag­ination. It should be recognized, how­ever, that a considerable portion of thevast amount of medical research nowgoing on is of a high order and by nomeans infra dig even for a great Uni­versity such as ours. Indeed, it becomesdifficult to distinguish between the qual­ity and nature of the research carriedon in the laboratories of the hospitalsby a new generation of physician-scien­tists from that of the basic biologicalscientists. Comparisons as to purity andsignificance between the products of thetwo sets of laboratories are beside thepoint. Pragmatically at least, researchshould be assessed not by its theoreticalpurity but by its importance for theproblem it bears upon. Nevertheless,the basic science departments can beexpected to continue to take the lead infostering the scientific method, in ex­ploiting new approaches and in hewingto the pure line. To put the matter moreconcretely one can say that in biologi­cal research today the study of normaland abnormal structure and function ofbodily organs and organ systems, be itliver, heart or nervous system, has de­volved more and more upon the hospi­tal laboratories, while the probing ofthe anatomists, physiologists, biochem­ists and biophysicists, pharmacologistsand zoologists has focused more andmore upon cellular and molecularevents. The physician-scientists whoseinvestigative work in the clinical de­partments is of the best quality areoften those who hold a Ph.D. as well asa doctorate in medicine, a highly de­sirable and productive combinationprovided the Ph.D. degree is the genu­ine article, earned in one or another ofthe natural sciences.Luckily this whole tempest in a teapot is a purely academic question, fig­uratively as well as literally. That is, itdoes not involve in any critical waycompetition for support from the Uni­versity budget for conduct of researchprograms by the departments. The re­quirements of both clinical and non­clinical departments for support of re­search have far outstripped the abilityof any private university to meet themfrom its own resources. Funds must besought elsewhere, notably from govern­ment. Happily the granting agencies ofthe Public Health Service have adoptedthe enlightened policy of playing no fa- vorites between clinical and non-clin­ical areas. Anyone who has occasion toscan the applications for research grantssubmitted to the National Institutes ofHealth can assure you that the biologi­cal science departments over the coun­try have as ravenous an appetite as anyhealthy suckling, equal at least to theclinical litter-mate. Both are growingnicely.In attempting to see The Clinics inproper perspective it has been my in­tention to emphasize the point thatclinical medicine, except possibly itsfrail sister psychiatry, is a biologicalscience and that hospitals have no placein the University except through theirteaching and research functions. Yetphysicians and the hospitals they workin have obligations peculiar to them­selves, out of the main stream of a uni­versity's interests and objectives. Pa­tient care, in or out of the context ofteaching and research, must in a sensealways take first claim on a physician'stime and energy. Clinical medicine is alearned vocation in its own right anddemands a large part of the attentionof the clinician if he is to remain expertand do justice to his patients. With therapid growth of The Clinics' patient ca­pacity the calls upon the time of thefaculty have become a pressing prob­lem. The Admitting Office telephonesring ceaselessly as do those in the doc­tors' offices, and an ever larger streamof suppliants surge against the Emer­gency Room doors from the vast poolof depressed humanity surrounding us.I know of no hospital of comparablesize where the in-patient and out-pa­tient care is the responsibility of sosmall an attending staff. "The world istoo much with us," indeed. The inevita­ble tendency for the service functionsof the clinical faculty to get out of bal­ance calls for constant vigilance andcorrection if the mundane is not tosmother the academic and if the clini­cians are to hold up their heads as wellas their budgets in this community ofscholars. The carefully selected andcompetent young physicians who makeup our comparatively large house staffcan and do carry a considerable part ofthe service work load. It is an essentialpart of their education up to a point,but only up to a point. When the dutiesof patient care begin to encroach uponthe house officer's time to read andthink and to engage in research in thelaboratory or clinic, the line betweeneducation and exploitation becomes in-4 MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETINWILLIAM HAY TALIAFERROBy JAMES W. MOULDER, PH.D., '44Professor and Chairman, Department of MicrobiologyWilliam Hay Taliaferro, Eliakim Hastings Moore Distinguished Service Professor of Microbiology and Chairmarof the Department of Microbiology, retired June 30, 1960. His thirty-six year:at the University of Chicago wenmarked by continuous research productivity of the highest order of origlnalitjmaintained for much of that time whihhe held posts of great administrativiresponsibility. Professor Taliaferro began his education at the University 0Virginia where at the advanced age 017 he published his first scientific paper in collaboration with his teacherW. A. Kepner. After receiving hibachelor's degree' at Virginia, he wento Baltimore to work in H. S. J enning:Department of Biology at Johns Hopkins. It was during this period that tbinfluence of Jennings had a marked effeet on his intellectual development. Athis time, too, he began his close amlong-lasting friendship with the latKarl Lashley, who was then a postdoctoral fellow in the same departmemHe received his Ph.D. from Hopkins i:1918 with a dissertation entitled "Reactions to light in Planaria maculai«with special reference to the functioiand structure of the eyes." I am survisible. The suggestion sometimes madeto relieve the pressure by the recruit­ment of part-time physicians to partici­pate in patient care and in teaching isno solution at all because for us itwould be unworkable and would lose oneof the advantages making us the envyof nearly every medical school in thecountry, or at any rate of nearly everymedical school Dean.In placing so much weight upon thescientific aspects of The Clinics, I havenot meant to ignore the loud and insist­ent social overtones inherent in clinicalmedicine; no one but a hopeless bigotcould do so. It remains to touch uponthe direct inter-relationship of The Clin­ics with areas of the University otherthan the natural sciences; for there isa rapidly growing cadre of non-medicalprofession personnel who take an ac­tive part in the hospitals' program ofmedical care and teaching-administra­tors from the School of Business, socialworkers and psychologists from the So­cial Sciences, clergymen from the Di- vinity Schools and many others. This isa desirable, mutually beneficial, and insome cases quite necessary develop­ment. But it should never be lost sightof that this ancillary activity is ancil­lary. Necessary as it may be, it is ofsecondary importance to the work andneeds of the medical staff. We are allpart of a team, to be sure, but have noillusions who should be calling the sig­nals if we are to succeed in the kind ofgame we are playing. You may think Iexaggerate the danger of misplaced em­phasis and express only petty jealousyfor traditional professional prerogatives.Not at all. My medical colleagues and Iaccept with equanimity the appropria­tion both of our vestments and our jar­gon. Everyone wears a white coat ex­cept the hospital administrators who, ofcourse, need no status symbol anyway,and there are now not only real internsbut also administrative interns, dietaryinterns, chaplain's interns and, for all Iknow, housekeeping interns as well. Theold doctor smiles tolerantly when some brash young thing tosses him that inancliche about treating the patient aswhole, as if every clinician worth hisalt hadn't always been well aware wheihe treated a disease that he was alstreating a human being. What else ithe art of medicine? So far we are in mdanger of a serious dislocation of ThClinics' activities from the biological t,the verbal, but it has happened elsewhere.With us, I am only reminded of ;story in vogue when I was an intern, s'long ago it has probably had several revivals. A comely young woman, lyinon a hospital cart as she waited to bwheeled into the operating room, wagreatly touched by the solicitude ofglamorous Man in White who lifted thsheet covering her and carefully checkeon her condition each time he passer"Doctor," she said finally, "you arvery kind to me. Thank you for takinsuch an interest in my welfare." "01ma'am," he quickly assured her, "I ain'de doctor. I am yust de painter."MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETIN 5Talifaferro at that time considered him­self a general physiologist specializingin the lower invertebrates and that hewas not at all interested in either para­sitology or immunology, the fields inwhich he was to make his reputation.After a brief war service, he returnedto Johns Hopkins, this time to the De­partment of Medical Zoology in thenewly formed School of Hygiene andPublic Health. Here, he turned hisbroad zoological training to a problemwhich determined the course of his en­tire investigative career-the factorsregulating the size and variability ofthe blood-dwelling protozoan of the rat,Trypanosoma lewisi. He was joined inthis work by his wife, Lucy Graves Ta­liaferro, herself a Hopkins Sc.D., andthey have continued this close and fruit­ful research collaboration ever since.Taliaferro found that after a few daysin the rat's blood, T. lewisi ceased todivide and became an adult of unvary­ing size. In 1924, he published a papershowing that trypanosome reproductionwas inhibited by a factor elaborated bythe rat in response to infection withT. lewisi. This problem probably fasci­nated Professor Taliaferro more thanany other; he could never quite put itaside and has returned to it again andagain-in fact he is working on T. lewisiat the Argonne National Laboratory to­day. The summation of investigationscarried out over a space of more thanthirty years revealed that the rat formsa unique non-absorbable antibody,ablastin, which inhibits the reproductionof the trypanosomes by preventing nu­cleic acid synthesis. Thus, the T. lewisiinvestigations, begun to study the ge­netics of variability in pure lines ofasexually reproducing invertebrates, ledTaliaferro to consider the nature of im­munity to parasitic diseases and the na­ture of antibody and its mode of forma­tion, subjects to which, in one aspect oranother, he has given his attention eversince.In 1924, Taliaferro came to Chicagoto join Jordan's Department of Hy­giene and Bacteriology, and to assumethe responsibility of teaching parasitol­ogy to the medical classes. He contin­ued his work on ablastin in collabora­tion with Frances Coventry, and with\1rs. Taliaferro he began to study theiInmune mechanisms in ·malaria. A littlelater, he started to investigate the basisof immunity to helminth infections withnis student George Bachman. So by1928, Taliaferro had active investiga­tions under way on three different phases of parasitic immunity. He con­tinued to work in these parallel but in­dependent fields for over twenty yearsin collaboration with Mrs. Taliaferro,with Paul Cannon and William Bloom,and with a succession of students, mostof whom are now well known investiga­tors-Campbell, Sarles, Stauber, Mulli­gan, Oliver-Gonzales and Zuckerman,to name only a few. The research ofthis period was concerned with the roleof both cellular and humoral factors inimmunity to parasitic diseases and thenature of the immune response. It isreported in innumerable papers and intwo important books, Immunity toParasitic Diseases (1929) and TheHistopathology of Malaria with SpecialReference to the Function and Origin ofthe Macrophages in Defense (1937),written with Hugh Mulligan. In thispublication, they advanced the conceptof the lymphoid-macrophage system asan extension of Aschoff's reticuloendo­thelial system. Taliaferro and his asso­ciates were the first to study systemati­cally : the basis of immunity to animalparasites, and their work forms in largepart the foundation of present day con­cepts in this field and has had great in­fluence on other phases of immunologyas well.Professor Taliaferro began his longcareer of administrative service to theUniversity when in 1931 he became As­sociate Dean of the Division of Biologi­cal Sciences under Dean Frank R. Lillie.He became Chairman of his departmentin 1932 and Dean of the Division ofBiological Sciences in 1935, a post inwhich he served with distinction throughthe difficult years of World War II un­til he was succeeded in 1944 by his fel­low department member.. R. WendellHarrison: Even then he did not returncompletely to the laboratory, for heserved for two more years as SpecialAdvisor in the Biological Sciences toChancellor Hutchins. Throughout thisperiod, Professor Taliaferro continuedan active research program, in which hewas ably assisted by Mrs. Taliaferro.Upon leaving the Dean's office anddevoting himself to full-time researchand teaching, Taliaferro entered into anew phase of research, perhaps the mostexciting and most important of all. Thiswas the study of antibody formation, towhich he was inevitably led by his in­vestigations on immunity to parasiticdiseases. For a model system he chosethe production of hemolytic antibody inthe rabbit following injection of sheep red blood cells and he developed simple,elegant methods for measuring antibodysynthesis in this system. His first paperon antibody production appeared in1950, and then in rapid succession therefollowed important publications on thedynamics of antibody synthesis, the roleof the spleen and other antibody-form­ing organs and tissues, the localizationof the X-ray damage in antibody syn­thesis to a highly sensitive phase earlyin the synthetic process, and the restora­tion of antibody-forming capacity in ir­radiated animals by injection of nucleicacid derivatives of diverse origins. Thesefindings, obtained in collaboration withMrs. Taliaferro, David W. Talmage ofthe Department of Medicine, and agroup of able students including jaro­slow, Stelos, Draper, Siissdorf andD'Alesandro, have played an importantrole in the formulation of modern the­ories of antibody formation and havegreatly clarified our understanding ofhow ionizing radiations interfere withimmune processes.Among the many honors which havecome to Professor Taliaferro are hon­orary degrees from the University ofNorth Carolina and Temple University,election to the National Academy ofSciences and the American Philosophi­cal Society, honorary fellowship and theChalmers Medal of the Royal Societyof Tropical Medicine, and the KingsleyMedal of the Liverpool School of Trop­ical Medicine. He is a member of manyscientific societies and scientific advisorybodies and was President of the Amer­ican Society of Parasitology in 1933and of the American Society of TropicalMedicine and Hygiene in 1954.Professor Taliaferro was Editor-in­Chief of the Journal of Infectious Dis­eases for many years, and the July­August 1960 number of the Journal wasdedicated to him by the Editorial Boardand by his former students and associ­ates who contributed all the papers inthat issue.The Taliaferros are now comfortablyinstalled in their new home in LaGrange, near the Argonne NationalLaboratory, where he is working as Sen­ior Immunologist in the Division ofBiological and Medical Research. Wefeel that he is fortunate in being ableto continue his research without thedistraction of administrative routine,and that we are also fortunate in havinghim close to us where we can continueto draw upon his unfailing supply ofadvice, counsel and inspiration.II. �TA:".:I FY flF:".::".:FTT. �I.[) ..

The class of 1964 is composed of.hree women and sixty-nine men, se­lected from over nine hundred appli­cants. They come from forty-four dif­ierent colleges and universities in theUnited States, and from twenty-threedifferent states as well as from theVirgin Islands, Canada, and Iran. Al­though the majority are not residentsof the state of Illinois, the largest singlegroup (twenty-two) does come fromthis state. Also, as expected, the largestcontingent from anyone school is thatfrom the undergraduate College- of theUniversity of Chicago (fifteen). Thereare three students from Earlham Col­lege in Indiana and three from North­western University. The complete list ofall schools represented in the freshmanclass is as follows:University of Arizona (2)Augustana College (Ill.) (2)Augustana College (S.D.) (2)Beloit CollegeBowling Green State UniversityBrigham Young UniversityUCLAUniversity of California (Berkeley)Carroll College (Mont.)Carleton College (2)University of Chicago (15)Coe CollegeColgate UniversityConcordia College (Ind.)Dartmouth College (2)Duquesne UniversityEarlham College (3)I University of FloridaFranklin and Marshall CollegeHarvard CollegeHaverford CollegeHiram CollegeUniversity of Idaho (2)University of IllinoisUniversity of KentuckyKenyon CollegeKnox CollegeLawrence CollegeIllinois Institute of Technology (2)University of MassachusettsUniversity of Michigan (2)Michigan State UniversityNew York UniversityUniversity of Notre Dame (2)Northwestern University (3) Oberlin College (2)Occidental CollegeReed CollegeUniversity of RochesterStanford UniversityVassar CollegeWalla Walla College (Wash.)University of WashingtonWashington & Jefferson CollegeThe average age of the entering stu­dents is twenty-two years with two­thirds of the freshmen actually beingtwenty-one or twenty-two years of ageas they begin their studies. The youngestmember is an eighteen-year-old Univer­sity of Chicago graduate, the oldest athirty-one year old married man withthree children who had been a ministerfor six years and was especially inter­ested in the interrelations between re­ligion and medicine.In the evaluation of applicants foradmission to the School of Medicine,the Committee on Admissions carefullyweighs both the applicant's scholasticabilities and aptitudes and his personalqualifications; therefore, it is not sur­prising that there are six members ofthe entering class who had C + gradeaverages in college. Nineteen more hadB or B -grade averages, and nearlytwo-thirds of the class (forty-seven)had compiled grade averages of B+ orbetter in the course of their collegestudies. The class as a whole has anaverage college grade average of B +.On the Medical College AdmissionTest which is required of all medicalapplicants, the entering class as a wholescored extremely well-far above thenational average and better than anyother entering class in the last six years.It is interesting to note that five mem­bers of the class received the covetedNational Foundation Health Scholar­ships of which this year only one hun­dred were awarded to members of theentering classes of all eighty-five medi­cal schools in the United States. In ad­dition one of the National Medical­Sloan Foundation Fellowships awardedto ten outstanding Negro students en­tering medical schools in the UnitedStates this fall was received by a mem­ber of our freshman class.Of the seventy-two entering fresh­men, sixty-two received a bachelor's de­gree before entering medical schoolwhile the remaining ten had a minimumof three years of college pre-medicalstudies. Nine members of the entering class had attended one or more years ofgraduate studies before entering medicalschool. Of these one received a graduatedegree in divinity, another a Doctor ofDental Surgery, while two receivedPh.D. degrees, in physics and in organicchemistry. Two-thirds of the studentsin the class (48) come from families inwhich at least one of the parents is acollege graduate. Both the parents oftwenty-three of these students have col­lege degrees.The three women in the class are allsingle whereas eleven of the sixty-ninemen are married. Only one of these hasany children and he has three. Six of themen have served in the Armed Forcesa total of thirteen and one-half years,in the Army and Navy. Four of thefreshmen were born in foreign countries(Czechoslovakia, France, Hong Kong,and Iran). All four received their pre­medical training in the United Statesand two of them are now United Statescitizens. The other two are Chinese andIranian. In addition one of the Ameri­can-born members of the class is nowan Israeli citizen.Five of the entering freshmen arechildren of alumni. Both parents of onestudent have degrees from the Univer­sity. Two of the five are sons of medicalalumni. The family backgrounds of themembers of the entering class are variedand most interesting. The occupationsof their fathers represent a spectrum ofthe professions, industry, and labor. In­cluded are twelve physicians, five at­torneys, four engineers, three schoolprincipals, three dentists, three profes­sors, two pharmacists, as well as a min­ister, a rabbi, an economist, a stock­broker, a chemist and an instrumentmaker, in addition to a wide variety ofskilled and semi-skilled laborers, officeworkers, and merchants. Similarly, twen­ty of the mothers have careers: nine areschool teachers, three are nurses, twoare secretaries, and the remainder in­includes a music teacher, a bookkeeper,stenographer, pharmacist, seamstress,and a factory worker.It is already apparent that the pres­ent freshman class is as promising as itspredecessors, and the members of ourCommittee on Admissions are confidentthat this class will distinguish itselfduring its next four years in our Schoolof Medicine.JOSEPH CEITHAMLDean of Students,Biological Sciences16 MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETINNEW APPOINTMENTSFERGUSONDonald ].

Whenfriends would suggest that she go withthem to see some of the city, she wouldpolitely explain: "I have no time." Fedel Mundo, a small, attractive Filipinowoman, whose name translated fromSpanish means "faith of the world," had110 time because her people, the poor ofManila, had no doctors.Somewhat paradoxically, the Philip­oine Islands have at the same time toonany and too few doctors. Law andnedicine are the two most highly re­;pected professions on the once Span­ish-held chain of islands on the edge of'he Far East. As a result it is fashion­able for the sons of the wealthy to be­come either doctors or lawyers. Butthough those attending medical classesIn Manila's many universities may oftennumber in the thousands, few gradu­ating doctors take up practice wherethey are most needed: in the impov­erished barios, the rural villages of theIslands. A wealthy family may maintainits own private physician, yet twentymiles down the road, a village of severalthousand may depend on a quack doctorwith his herbs, potions, and incantationsdelivered before a blazing fire to wardoff evil spirits.Fe del Mundo sought to remedy thisrnedical gap when she came to theUnited States to study in the late thir­ties. A family inheritance could have al- DR. DEL MUNDO at the First All-Asian Pediatric Congress Regional meeting ofthe International Pediatric Association in New Delhi in January 1961.lowed her to live a life of luxury inManila where a chauffeur is paid $30 amonth. Extremely attractive, she mighthave had her pick of the town's mosteligible bachelors. But she decided tobecome a doctor. She specialized in pe­diatrics, studying at Harvard, JohnsHopkins, and Columbia. She also in­terned for a year at Bobs Roberts,which she later said impressed her asthe kind of hospital she would like toprovide for the poor people of the Phil­lippines.She returned home in May of 1941,just six months before Japanese bombsrained death on Pearl Harbor. Japan in­vaded the Philippines, interning all theAmericans and British in what had been the world's oldest university, SantoTomas. Dr. del Mundo wanted to aidthe imprisoned citizens of the countryin which she had received her educa­tion. She gained the friendship of theJapanese commander at the Santo To­mas internment camp by giving medicalassistance to his family. When she latercame to him with a proposal to allowher to open a small hospital for chil­dren of the internees, he could not re­fuse.She obtained the use of two smallRed Cross buildings, capable of holdingthirty-five children. Within two weeksthese facilities were so badly over­crowded she had to go again to theJapanese commander and request morespace. The sisters of the Holy GhostCollege, an exclusive girls' school in theresidential section near Santo Tomas,volunteered their building. Dr. delMundo and the sisters converted thethree-story school into a hospital. Dur­ing the first year of operation, they tookcare of four hundred children, aged twoweeks to fourteen years.For three years the children's hospitalstruggled along; then in February of1945 the American Army sought to re­gain control of the Philippines. As thebattle for Manila raged, the woundedand dying were dumped on the doorstepof Fe del Mundo's hospital. Because ofthe demand for treatment, emergencyfacilities were set up in what had beenchildren's wards. The hosnital never did18 MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETINter for small children, and Dr. delMundo found herself administering alarge general hospital. By the end of1945, North General Hospital (as it wasthen called) housed five hundred fortypatients and a school of nursing withseventy students.But a need still existed for a chil­dren's hospital. In 1948, Dr. del Mundoresigned as head of North General Hos­pital with the intent of opening a "littleclinic." The effect was somewhat likethrowing a magnet into a box full ofsteel shavings. Parents from all over theisland of Luzon, attracted by her rep­utation, flocked to her tiny, three-com­partment office on Mendolia Street inManila's poor quarter. Dr. del Mundowas forced to move into a larger officein nearby Quezon City but she soonoutgrew even its facilities. The clinicwas continuously overcrowded and manyof her patients had to be quartered atdifferent hospitals. Since the day hadonly twenty-four hours and the week butseven days, others could not even betreated.Today, Dr. del Mundo's "little clin­ic" has grown into a big children's hos­pital built with a loan from a govern­ment insurance company, to be paid offin the next ten years, and from the oc­casional contributions of friends. TheChildren's Memorial Hospital of Que­zon City is a new, bright-colored, four­story building of one hundred fifty bedsincluding a special ward for charitycases. The hospital contains an emer­gency room and an out-patient depart­ment in addition to surgical clinics, andeven dental clinics. One special nurseryexists for premature babies. Other fa­cilities include: two operating rooms;anesthesia, recovery, and x-ray rooms;clinical, pathology, and research labora­tories; and a pharmacy. In many re­spects, it is a duplicate of Bobs Rob­erts, but then that is the hospital afterwhich it is patterned.Should a young patient in the middleof the night need assistance, he is justas likely to receive attention from Dr.del Mundo herself, who lives on thepremises and is on twenty-four hourcall. She knows the case history of everypatient in her wards, for she followstheir illnesses as if they were her ownchildren as in a sense they are.Fifteen doctors staff the hospital.After they have served at the hospitalfor three years, they are sent to theUnited States for further training tomaintain medical standards in Quezon FACULTY NEWSWright Adams has been named presidentof the University of Chicago Cancer Re­search Foundation to succeed James W.
