Among the hundreds of Central alumni who have entered the medical profession, one of the most distinguished was Dr. Malvern Bryan Clopton, who was born in St. Louis, in 1876, and graduated from Central in January, 1894. He received his medical de- gree from the University of Virginia, but returned to St. Louis and became professor of clinical surgery at Washington University, and also chief of staff at St. Luke's Hospital. He twice served as president of the State Board of Health, and in 1932 was elected president of the Washington University Cor- poration, a position which he held for ten years. Dr. Clopton served in World War 1 from 1917 to 1919 as a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Medical Corps. He went overseas with a hospital unit from Barnes Hospital. He was first attached to a base hospital and later to a mobile hospital unit. His first wife was Mrs. Lily Lambert Vvfalker, who died in 1911. In 1934 he married Mrs. Rachel Lowe Lambert, who sur- vives him. Also surviving are a brother, William H. Clopton, a retired army Colonel of Chevy Chase, Md., and a sister, Mrs. Elkin L. Franklin, of St. Louis. After retiring in 1942, Dr. Clopton spent most of his time at his home at Wianno, Cape Cod, Mass., where he died on April 21, 1947. He was buried in the family lot in Bellefon- taine Cemetery, St. Louis, after funeral serv- ices at Christ Church Cathedral. In 1930, Dr. Clopton donated S250,000 for completion of the Rand-Johnson Memo- rial wing of Barnes Hospital, and the follow- ing year gave a collection of wood cuts and etchings valued at S100,000 to Washington University. Another gift to the university, made in 1945, was his 850-acre Brookhill DR. MALVERN B. CLOPTON Dr. Malvern B. Clopton 1876-1947 farm near Clarksville, Mo., given to be used for research. Dr. Clopton was great not only as a physi- cian and surgeon, but also as a citizen. Dur- ing the seventy-one years of his life he served his city, state, and country, in many capaci- ties, and many honors were bestowed upon him. His name was among those listed in Who's Who in America, and Central High School has long ago enrolled him upon her Super Honor Roll.
