Following a well-attended opening and much general interest, the exhibit also provided valuable teaching opportunities for Yale medical students. Curated by Jean Bolognia, M.D., professor and vice-chair of dermatology; Irwin Braverman, M.D., professor emeritus of dermatology; and Susan Wheeler, curator of prints and drawings, the exhibit presented nineteenth-century life-size color prints from the influential Sydenham Atlas to a current clinical audience. The often grotesque images of the case histories of individual patients made for a visually compelling exhibit. During the three months that the exhibit was on view, the Department of Dermatology incorporated it in many of its teaching activities. Numerous groups of residents, medical students, and faculty gathered at the exhibit for clinical discussion of the diseases illustrated in the atlas. A contest to diagnose two of the prints was won by four medical students, who enjoyed a celebratory dinner with the curators. Prior to closing, a talk Dermatology faculty and residents discuss the diseases represented about the project was presented at the Beaumont in the exhibit.

M. Thursday 16 April 1936 Strathcona Hall Yale University We are gathered here to pay our tribute of admiration and respect to Lafayette Benedict Mendel, who died on December 9th last. During his long years of faithful service in this University, he endeared himself to hundreds of students who owe to him the inspiration of intellectual leadership and the severe discipline given by a learned and accurate scholar. His striking accomplishments in a relatively new field put him early in the front rank of American scientists and his entire career reflected lustre upon his Alma Mater, whom he served so devotedly. We are fortunate in having here to refresh our memories of our friend, Dr. Russell Henry Chittenden, Director-emeritus of the Sheffield Scientific School, who was Dr. Mendel's first teacher and for many years his colleague; the Honorable Frederic C.

  • Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center Presents Charles A
    TOURO COLLEGE JACOB D. FUCHSBERG LAW CENTER PRESENTS CHARLES A. REICH (1928-2019) Charles Reich was born in New York City in 1928. His father Carl was a doctor who specialized in hematology. His mother pursued a career in school administration. Charles’ younger brother Peter was born in 1931. At his mother’s direction, Charles attended progressive schools in New York City. After high school, Charles attended Oberlin, where he excelled as a liberal arts student. Uncertain about what to do after graduation, he decided to apply to Yale Law School. This decision was made after speaking with Professor Tom Emerson, a family friend and professor at the law school. Reich was admitted and matriculated in the fall of 1949. Although he often shied away from speaking in class, Reich was an excellent law student. His strong academic performance earned him an early slot on the Yale Law Journal. Later he was elected editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal. During his last year of law school, Reich applied for a clerkship with Justice Hugo Black. He found Black’s dissents in a number of civil liberties cases inspiring and enlisted support from Dean Wesley Sturges, Professor Emerson, and Professor David Haber for his application. In his letter of recommendation, Professor Haber noted that “despite an outer appearance of reticence and modesty, [Reich] proves to be an extremely warm and outgoing person, quite sensitive to, and aware of some of the problems of leading a life that has integrity and meaning.” Reich interviewed with Justice Black, and was offered the clerkship.
