Last week in Atlantic City, the American College of Surgeons belatedly bestowed its highest academic honor, an honorary fellowship, on Transfusion Pioneer Richard Lewisohn, 84. Born and educated in Germany, Dr. Lewisohn came to the U.S. in 1907, and within a year joined the surgical staff of Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital. He has been there ever since. Besides his historic work on citration, Dr. Lewisohn introduced more drastic (and proportionately more effective) operations for stomach ulcers, and pioneered in using the first crude preparations of folic-acid antagonists against cancer.

Students simply have little interest in the "speaker-games-refreshments" routine of many Sunday evening groups, scoring such undertakings as "trivial," "mundane," "unworthy of a religious person's interest." Slightly over six per cent of the Protestants covered by the CRIMSON poll participated regularly in fellowship activities...
