Isador Forman, M.D. On April 10, 1960, the class of’61 lost a beloved teacher and friend. Those of us who worked closely with Dr. Isador Forman knew him as a man devoted to the highest ideals of the practice and teaching of medicine. Dr. Forman found a second home in the Temple University School of Medicine. Following his graduation here in 1926 (at the very top of his class) he interned at the same hospital where he was to remain as a loyal and untiring physician for twenty three years. These years were bountiful ones, not only for our Obstetrics and Gynecology Department but for the several thousand students who came to know him as a teacher and counselor. Everyone in the class of’61 knew Dr. Forman—some of us in different ways than others. To the members of Phi Delta Epsilon fraternity, he was an untiring worker who gave generously of his time-and talents. He was active in the national organization of this fraternity, was president of the Philadelphia Graduate Club of Phi Delta Epsilon, and District Deputy Grand Consul (District 2). Those of us who were fortunate enough to work with him in the delivery room soon recognized his insight and tolerant attitude. The rest of our class knew him mainly as a lecturer in obstetrics and gynecology. His lecture always abounded with personal warmth and humor. These teachings remain indelible. It is with a feeling of fondness and sadness that the class of’61 pays tribute to Dr. Isador Forman. 12

Chevalier L. Jackson, M.D. The untimely death of Dr. Chevalier L. Jackson on January 13. 1961, created an inestimable void at the Temple University School of Medicine. As Professor and Head of the Department of Laryngology and Bronchoesophagology he was instrumental in gaining international recognition for Temple in these fields. In 1930 he helped to found the clinic which bears the name of his late father. Dr. Chevalier Jackson. In its thirty years of existence this clinic has treated patients from every corner of the United States and from numerous foreign countries. Dr. Jackson considered it an obligation and privilege to share his knowledge with whoever might benefit from it. As an untiring teacher he spread the ideas gathered from his extensive research and clinical experience to thousands of students at the Temple University School of Medicine and to many medical groups throughout the world. At the time of his death he was working on a paper to be presented in July before the International Congress of Otolaryngology in Paris. To list his many honors and memberships would be a monumental task. Dr. Jackson was an individual of many facets, intensely interested in the world around him. He was equally adept in his role as President of the Philadelphia Grand Opera Company as he was as Head of the Department of Laryngology and Bronchoesophagology. The Class of’61 mourns the passing of Dr. Chevalier L. Jackson. We shall always remember him with feelings of respect and gratitude. 13
