Dr. George William Adams Jr. '15 of Washington, D. C., was honored for 50 years in the practice of medicine at the 46th annual meeting of the Association of Former Internes and Residents of Freedmen's Hospital in June.

He was one of the first Negro physicians to be selected for postgraduate study on a Rosenwald Fellowship at Harvard in 1920-21. Dr. Adams' whole medical career has been pursued in Washington and he still practices there.
