4-vi' a4 1969 d GEGRGE At first one is awed by the man . . . by the way he thinks, speaks, and argues. The formidable depth of his knowledge is an endless source of amazement. One is constantly reminded of the respect given him by students and physicians of all levels, when he speaks, we listen, for we know we can depend on what he says. But such qualities are not rare at Duke, the rarity of Dr. Baylin is that he combines these assets with a personal warmth and integrity which make him a truly great teacher and not just another brilliant doctor. The beauty of his knowledge is not just in its quantity, but in his genuine desire to share it with others. With gratitude and respect we dedicate the 1969 Aesculpian to: DR. GEORGE BAYLIN. Bi

lication BAYLIN George J. Baylin was born in Baltimore, Maryland fifty-eight years ago to Pauline and Maurice J. Baylin. His father, a Russian immigrant, was in the general practice of medicine in Baltimore. George Baylin had a good start, he says, with the three most important people in his life, his parents, his mentor, and his wife. The A.B. degree at Johns Hopkins University in 1931 and upon entering the Duke University School of Nledicine. Here he came under the scrutiny and guidance of Dr. Frances Swett, who was chairman of the department of Anatomy at that time. One of the most valuable things he learned from Dr. Swett was the necessity of introspection and total honesty with oneself. Dr. Baylin earned his M.D. degree from Duke in 1937. One year later he married Sarah Hartman. They now have three sons: Stephen, an intern in medicine at Duke, who plans a career in cardiology: Jonathan, who has a IVlaster's degree in urban planning, and Eric, a very gifted and accomplished artist who recently graduated Phi Beta Kappa. Dr. Baylin is currently professor of Radiology at Duke. He has also held positions in the Department of Anatomy. He is a member of Alpha Omega Alpha and Sigmi Xi, and has received the North Carolina Medical Society IVledal. He was voted the SANIA Golden Apple Award in 1965. Watching his Herculean efforts in the outpatient radiology department is made more impressive by the fact that he has found time to author over one hundred publications. 41' 4 if f fs fi X W2 '
