William Beaumont Society . In 1935 The William Beaumont Medical Society was founded at The George Washington University School of Medicine for the purpose ofstimulating and promoting research at the medical student level. In keeping with the tradition established by Dr. Beaumont, the Society has endeavored to present the student body with informed lectures discussing current medical research problems. Speakers for the year in- cluded Dr. Sol Katz, Dr. William Duryee, Dr. Irving Hantman, Dr. Melvin Alper, and Dr. William Mc- Farland. The annual William Beaumont Lecture was delivered by Dr. Howard W. jones,jr. who lectured on Abnormal Sexual Development. The Society strove to promote student research by informing students of research possibilities in the Wash- ington area, and at the annual spring banquet the year's best student research papers were presented with the Pfizer Research Awards made available by Pfizer Lab- oratories. Encouragement and interest from both faculty and administration as well as the efforts of faculty sponsor and advisors havebeen paramount in aiding the success and growth of the Society.
