STANLEY M. ARONSON, Assistant Dean and Professor of Pathology, besides being one of the most well informed physicians that we have en- countered, is also unusually conversant in almost any other subject matter which exists, this includes stu- dents' financial vagaries! He is also Faculty Adviser to the LICHONIAN and to the Student Council. Dr. Aronson was appointed Neuropathologist and Assistant Professor at Downstate in 1954, and has served on the faculties of Yale and P. 85 S. Early in his career, Dr. Aronson was interested in the endocrinologic variables of experimental polio. Presently, his concern is the lipidoses, especially Tay-Sachs disease. Dr. Aronson is also concerned with the social, ethnic, medical, and genetic factors of cardiovascular disease. Dr. Aronson believes that a more intimate rela- tionship is needed between students and faculty. He feels that the school has a profound responsibility and must meet the demands of the community. A physician is a social creaturew and not just a scientist separate from his community. In line with these feelings, Dr. Aronson would like to see courses in contemporary sociology, ethnology, morality, and ethics introduced into the curriculum. Dr. Aronson lives in New Rochelle with his wife, a research pediatrician and pathologist, and two small daughters. His oldest daughter was recently married. Dr. Aronson raises orchids in his large green- house and also enjoys gardening, carpentry, sculp- ture, and painting. His intense interest in music is centered mainly in the works of Mahler, Bruckner, Bach, and Wagner. 24 Born in Brooklyn, BERNARD ARON, Assistant Professor of Radiology, attended Midwood High School. He received his M.D. degree from New York University Medical School. His training in radiology was obtained at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City and his postgraduate training in radiotherapy at the Christie Hart Holt Radiation Center in England. Dr. Aron has been at Downstate for four years, during which time he had little contact with students until last year when the program in radiology was expanded. He is pleased that many of the students he has met have been well trained clinically as well as academically. However, he feels that the emphasis in most medical schools is still too strongly research oriented. The student, he feels, has more lectures on scleroderma than on lung cancer. Dr. Aron lives in Brooklyn with his wife and two children. Spare time, a rare commodity, is usually spent playing football and handball. '53 t .
