The coming of World War II introduced the Army, where he stayed from 1942 to 1946. After temporary stationing in Miami and Indiana, he was permanently placed in Mitchell Field, Long Island, N, Y. His task was as one of the many unseen, unheard, unpublicized instructors and supervisors. It was his role to maintain efficient medical standards, to complement the existing medical knowledge, and to prepare for any and all conceivable emergencies. Returning from service with the Armed Forces to Temple, Dr. Ginsburg brought with him a wife. He had married Helen, then an army nurse, in 1943. They now have two children—William, age twelve, and Joyce, age six. They have settled in Overbrook Hills, Lower Merion, Pa. Besides his private practice and hospital service as an active staff member and professor, Dr. Ginsburg has become a member of and contributor to several medical societies. These include the American Medical Association, Philadelphia County Medical Society, College of Physicians of Philadelphia, American College of Physicians, American Federation for Clinical Research, American Heart Association, and American Association or Advancement of Science. In addition, he has been elected a member of Alpha Omega Alpha, the Medical Honorary Society. We will always be grateful that neither the boy nor his environment ignored or obstructed the persistent, intense desire to become an M.D.

Dr. Ginsburg with wife, Helen, and children, William and Joyce. He became a Board man in Internal Medicine in 1941, and has been actively teaching since. We always will recall him as the “kidney doctor: but Dr. Ginsburg claims thrat this is unfair. As a resident, he instructed in the clinics; he was in charge of the initial lectures in Therapeutics, and has taught several subjects in medicine for the last 15 years. But for the last 10 years, hypertension and diseases of the kidney have been presented by Dr. Ginsburg— therefore, his modern eponym must persist.

 The hospital was founded . . . in the hope that it would do Christ’s work. Aot simply to heal for the sake of professional experience; not simply to cure disease and repair broken bones; but to so do those charitable acts as to enforce the truth Jesus taught, that God would not that any should perish, but that all should come unto Him and live.’ Soul and body, both need the healing balm of Christianity. The hospital mod-estly and touchingly furnishes it to all classes, creeds and ages whose sufferings cause them to cry out, 4Have mercy on me.’ Russell H. Conwell 0
