1914

Because of the biggest Alumni Fund Report in history we are all requested to keep the notes as short as possible this month. For that reason I am giving you one and one only.

On November 11, in the ballroom of the Hotel Statler in New York, the Sedgwick Medal was presented to Carl Buck by the American Public Health Association for distinguished service in public health.

The citation is being published in the December issue of the American Journal of Public Health. The Secretary is glad to reproduce it in full, as follows:

The Sedgwick Medal was established in memory of. a great teacher, a great sanitarian, a great leader in the cause of health protection of the public, in honor of one who, though making no scientific discoveries to immortalize his name, tirelessly devoted his professional life to the noble task of shaping a safer and healthier world. In awarding this medal we rightfully honor the memory of William T. Sedgwick for his inspiring leadership in the development of community programs to prolong efficient human life.

It is thus fitting that the American Public Health Association should tonight bestow this distinguished service award upon one of Dr. Sedgwick's most noted pupils who has followed so ably along the pathways that were pioneered by his mentor. There is no scientific discovery that is associated with the name of Carl Buck, no test that carries his imprint, no laboratory that will be visited as the place where he worked. His laboratory has been the community, stretching from coast to coast, from our southern borders into the friendly nation to our north his workbench the health agency office where he carefully analyzed the needs of the community and the pattern and efficiency of its health services.

Over the 39 years of his public health experience, Carl Buck has left an indelible imprint upon the public health scene in North America. To call the roll of his state and local studies of public health administration would merely reveal that there are few if any states, few provinces in Canada that have not felt the impact of his keen analysis and his constructive recommendations. His friendly yet candid criticisms and suggestions, based on a singular wealth of administrative experience and knowledge of sound practices, have pointed the way for reorganization or strengthening of the structure of public health and have charted the course of innumerable health programs. Few persons have so influenced the course of development of public health administration as has Carl Buck.

History will long record the achievements of those who by their discoveries advance the frontiers of human knowledge, but it is apt to forget those tireless workers who have dedicated their lives to the application of these findings to the promotion of human welfare. Yet without such application the discoveries of the laboratory do not bear fruit. So, tonight, the American Public Health Association takes pleasure in perpetuating the Sedgwick ideal by honoring one of its own family who has made a lasting contribution to the betterment of human health through the guidance and leadership he has given to community agencies in their efforts to apply the contributions of modern science to tue prevention of disease. Experienced in the administration of public health, student and-critic of administrative procedure, friendly spur to the development of sound programs of public and private agencies, honored teacher, ardent champion of the highest ideals of public service to Carl E. Buck in recognition of his constructive and productive studies in administrative practice, the American Public Health Association hereby presents the Sedgwick Medal for distinguished service in public health.

Carl Buck surely deserves a Wah Hoo Wah!
