Smith-Reed-Russell Society The Smith-Reed Russell Society is a local honorary society established in 1932 in honor ofDoctors Theobald Smith, Walter Reed, and Frederick Russell, all former professors at our medical school at the turn of the century. Membership in the Society is limited to students who have maintained a 3.30 grade point average or better by the end of their sophomore year. Since the founding of the society, its primary activity has been an annual lecture for the medical school, at which time a well-known member of the medical pro- fession or its allied sciences is invited to address the faculty and students. This year a departure from the immediate medical sciences was made, the lecturer being R. Crawford Morris, Cleveland attorney and authority on medico-legal problems. Another highlight of each year is the awards banquet. At this time the new members are presented their certi- ficates. Three honorary members are chosen each year. This year they were : Colonel F. Townsend, Director of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathologyg Doctor N. Kramerg and Doctor F.T. Reuter. MEMBERS of Smith-Reed-Russell are: Hrs! row,' S. Itsocoitz, R. Koldinger, Dr. F. Miller, B.

New Program Initiated by Alpha Omega Alpha In 1963 Alpha Omega Alpha undertook an entirely new type of program designed to interest high school students in the medical sciences. Teams of AOA members lectured to high school classes and science clubs in the best high schools in the area. No direct attempts were made to proselytize for the medical profession, but interested students were individually encouraged. At the close of the year the program will be evaluated to determine its value for future AOA groups. On April 6, Dr. Leighton Cluff, head of the Depart- ment of Allergy and Infectious Diseases atlohns Hopkins Medical School, gave the annual AOA lecture on Fact vs. Supposition in Hypersensitivity Phenomena in Sys- temic Diseases. Following thelecture, the evening banquet and initiation were held at which time five juniors, three alumni and one faculty member were initiated. The alumni were Dr. Leighton Clubb, johns Hopkins Uni- versity Medical School, Dr. joseph Rankin, George Washington U. Hospital, and Dr. Warren Wacker,Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, Harvard University, and the faculty member was Dr. Paul Adkins, Department of Surgery. GOING OVER the results of this year's program are Betty Young, joel Brown, Allen Cohen, Drs. Thistle- thwaite and Miller. 71 ' D as-,. . ' ,UQ ...H ra I 1 2 ,g. l ,t I , ,,, ..
