Cornell University's Medical College got a new full professor last week. To Dr. Elise Strang L'Esperance, clinical professor of preventive medicine, the recognition came at an age when most professors are tacking emeritus on to their titles.

This summer, the clinic at Memorial will get its first internes. Doctors who get this training, Dr. L'Esperance hopefully believes, may yet be able to prevent many a cancer by catching its first warning signals...
