Medical School

One more building, the Charles Gilman Life Sciences Laboratory, was added officially to the Gilman Biomedical Center with its dedication on October 30. The program consisted of morning and afternoon scientific sessions, with the dedicatory exercises and luncheon at noon. Representatives of the biological science departments of several leading colleges and universities attended the opening of this fine structure which is physically connected to the Medical Science Building, the Kellogg Medical Auditorium, and the Dana Biomedical Library.

Among recent lectures delivered at the School, two of the featured visiting speakers were returning home. On October 30, Hillie Poindexter M'27 delivered an address in the Student Lecture Series on Health Services in Africa, a subject which his many years in that area has made him eminently qualified to discuss. One week later, on November 6, Lewie Weintraub M'56 demonstrated that our younger graduates are also producing by his presentation on the theme of Iron Metabolism.

Wayne Frerichs M'45 sent us a copy of a poem, "Cold White Death" by Richard Eberhart '26, from the September issue of the Atlantic Monthly. Those of you who knew Ralph Miller and Bob Quinn would be interested to read it.
