x DR. GRADY CLAY EIVIORIAIVI What is there to say when a good man is gone? What measure of his life can we find, when the measuring cup is buried in the hearts of his companions? This man was a great physician, a hearty and lovable human being, a direct and forthright teacher, a generous and kind friend. He was a country boy at heart who never outgrew his love of the Walton County soil. Gifted with boundless energy and determination, he developed a high degree of concentration on the job at hand. These qualities, plus his contagious warmth, made him nearly irresistible in promoting those projects in which he believed. He worked ceaselessly for a Well-equipped medical center in Atlanta, built around Emory's Medical School, for a self-reliant agriculture for the South, with paved roads, diversified farming and good schools and churches for all. During all his adult life he pushed himself and inspired others toward these goals. . Loyalty was knit tightly into his makeup. His staunchest friends were made in his youth, especially at old Emory College in Oxford. He was active in his college fraternity affairs, and in those of Emory all his life. Alma mater was more than a catchphrase to him. Springing from many generations of farmers, he chose medicine for his career. But he maintained his family's Walton County farm as his avocation. There he spent his happy week-ends, supervising the endless job of rebuilding the land, saving its resources for the future. He labored devotedly in his medical practice--one who loved medicine for its own and humanity's sake, rather than for the physician's cash reward. The important Department of Opthalmology of Em- ory's Medical School is a tribute to, and a result of, his work. No one will ever know how many patients he treated without charge. Nor how many boys and girls he helped through college. Nor the students he endowed with his brimming enthusiasm for good medical practice. In a selfish world, he stuck to the idea that his life was not for himself alone, but for the betterment of mankind. 6
