1942

Freshmen fathers' weekend at Dartmouth was an occasion to spend a pleasant evening with DickBurns and his son Jim '76 who lives across the hall in Gile from my son Sheldon '75. It also was a great pleasure to have had a brief chat with JackTobin's very charming daughter Betsy '76. Jack's participation in some ski races prevented his coming to Hanover. Some people never give up.

A recent letter from Dr. Bill Dorrance told of the trip he and Wilma took in November to Japan and Hong Kong. Bill also called my attention to a news article in Pediatric News concerning an address delivered by Dr. Tom McElin at a recent clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons. Tom is a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University School of Medicine. A major portion of his discussion concerned advances in the field of fetal medicine which has contributed to the early diagnosis and treatment of fetal abnormalities during in- trauterine life. He particularly emphasized new techniques which predict maturity, the presence of genetic abnormalities, and the administration of intrauterine blood transfusions. He also described a number of new diagnostic methods which have greatly improved survival of newborns. Tom is a pioneer in research and a highly regarded authority in these fields.
