1961
was a very good year |
|

The
class of 1961 has undertaken a group effort to endow a scholarship
for Emory medical students. Contributions to the Class of
1961 Scholarship Fund establish a base that will grow annually
and fill a vital need, helping recruit the very best students,
giving relief to students in need, and opening wide the doors
for students to enter any field of medicine without restrictions.
This year, the fund honors deceased classmates Elliott Ackerman,
Evan Boddy, George Ezzard, Fred Greiner, Wayne Lowe, Frank
Miller, Frank Peacock, Robert Pierce, Ed Sammons, and John
Wilson. As the class planned its 45th reunion in May 2006,
contributions were approaching its $100,000 goal. For more
information about contributing to this fund or creating a
similar fund for your class, please contact Heather Pharris,
404-727-5932, hpharri@emory.edu. |

Eugene
Stead, 32M (former dean and professor and chair
of Medicine) on June 12, 2005. He was 97.
After receiving his BS and MD degrees
from Emory, he served on the faculty of Harvard. In 1942, he returned
to Emory as the youngest chair ever of the Department of Medicine,
and in 1946, he became dean of the School of Medicine, a position
he held for one year. He next joined Duke as professor and chair
of medicine, a position he held for 20 years.
Stead had a major impact on how medicine
was taught and practiced in the 20th century. His research teams
described the physiologic basis of shock and congestive heart failure,
and his pioneering studies in the 1940s with cardiac catheterization
formed the basis of what is now used in the treatment of heart failure.
In addition to his research innovations,
he was an outstanding medical educator. He produced more chairs
of medicine departments (33 in all) than any other medical educator.
In 1966, he spearheaded a revision of the Duke curriculum to cut
in half the required basic sciences and thereby provide room for
a full year of research. He also founded the physician assistant
(PA) profession, starting the first PA education program at Duke
in 1965.
He is survived by a son, two daughters,
and three grandchildren. |

Arthur
Falek (professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences)
in November 2005. A faculty member for more than 40 years, he was
internationally known for his work in human genetics and the effects
of heredity on intelligence and behavior. His work to understand
the incidence and causes of birth defects helped lay the foundation
for today’s National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental
Disabilities at the CDC. When Jimmy Carter served as governor of
Georgia, Falek worked to decentralize mental health care in favor
of community-based care. He also established the Georgia Huntington’s
Disease registry and co-founded a group that evolved into the Huntington’s
Disease Society of America (HDSA). Because of his work, the HDSA
established the first Center for the Care and Cure of Huntington’s
Disease at Emory in 1989.
In addition, he undertook one of the
first NIH studies to understand how drugs affect the ability of
addicts with AIDS to fight HIV and other infections. His work in
this field contributed to the formation of the Society on NeuroImmune
Pharmacology and the Journal of NeuroImmune Pharmacology.
His efforts to understand and prevent fetal alcohol syndrome resulted
in formation of the Maternal Substance Abuse and Child Development
Project at Emory and the Fetal Alcohol and Drug Abuse Clinic at
the Marcus Institute. Both projects broadened understanding and
treatment in Georgia and the United States. |

Robert
Gunn (professor and chair of Physiology) on June
26, 2005 of lymphoma. He was 65.

served as professor and chair of Physiology for more than 23 years.
He directed the MD/PhD program for 13 years and the Fellowships
in Research and Science Teaching program until his death.
An internationally recognized authority
on the molecular mechanisms of ion transport across cell membranes,
he received the Kenneth Cole Award for his work on anion transport
across red blood cells. Just days before his death, he was awarded
the 2006 Distinguished Service Award by the Biophysical Society.
He is survived by his wife, Sharon,
three daughters, one son, two grandchildren, and three brothers. |

Jerome
Sutin (professor and former chair of Anatomy) on
July 10, 2005. Joining Emory in 1966, he guided the Department of
Anatomy (later renamed Cell Biology) for more than 30 years to become
one of the strongest in the country. In the course of his academic
career, he influenced the disciplines of neuroscience and cell biology,
and in particular, he made significant contributions to understanding
the brain, ranging from the hypothalamus to the cerebral cortex,
and through the use of varied study techniques such as electrophysiology,
fiber degeneration, and pathway tracing.
His interest in the nervous system
led to co-authorship of the 8th edition of Human Neuroanatomy.
He also served on numerous NIH panels and the editorial boards of
five journals. He received the Henry Gray Award in 1994, the highest
honor presented by the American Association of Anatomists, of which
he served as president. Shortly after his retirement in 1996, the
Department of Cell Biology inaugurated the Jerome Sutin Lecture
in his honor.
He is survived by his wife, Avril,
two sons, and three grandchildren. |
