JOHNS HOPKINS SOCIETY OF SCHOLARS The Johns Hopkins Society of Scholars was created on the recommendation of former President Milton S. Eisenhower and approved by the University Board of Trustees on May 1, 1967. The Society— the first of its kind in the nation— in- ducts former postdoctoral fellows at Johns Hopkins who have gained marked distinction in their fields of physical, biological, medical, social or engineering sciences, or the humanities, and for whom at least five years have elapsed since their postdoctoral work. The Committee of the Johns Hopkins Society of Scholars, whose members are equally distributed among the academic divisions, elects the Scholars from the candidates nominated by the academic divisions hav- ing programs for postdoctoral fellows. Each division has the privilege of nomi- nating up to three candidates for each election year. The Scholars are invested during the Commencement ceremony, the Commemoration Day ceremony, or on some similar occasion. They are presented with a diploma and a medallion with a black and gold ribbon. The Scholars wear the medallion around the neck, and they also wear academic costumes. Today we honor 13 new members who have been elected this year to the Johns Hopkins Society of Scholars. Dr. Guillermo Arbona is professor emeritus of preventive medicine and public health at the School of Medicine of the University of Puerto Rico. Dr. Arbona earned a medical degree from St. Louis University in 1934, and in 1936 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of International Health at the School of Hygiene and Public Health. Since that time, his dedication has greatly improved health care delivery in Puerto Rico, where low-income people are sub- ject to many tropical diseases. From 1957 to 1966, he served as Secretary of Health for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. His service in the federal gov- ernment, as a member of the National Advisory Heart Council, the National Commission on Aging, and the Job Corps, among other positions, has benefited all Americans. Finally, through his work for the Pan American Health Organiza- tion, the World Health Organization, and other international groups, he has brought improved health care to countries around the world. at Dr. Charles C. J. Carpenter is chairman of the Department of Medicine Case Western Reserve University, and director of the Department of Medicine at the University Hospitals of Cleveland. He was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Medicine at the School of Medicine. His early research focused on the role of the renin-angiotensin system in control of aldosterone secretions. Dr. Carpenter has also conducted important research on the causes of diarrhea, a leading cause of infant deaths in developing countries. In his research, he un- ravelled the complex mechanism of toxigenic e. coli, leading to an understand- ing of this problem. Recently, Dr. Carpenter has aJso advanced scientific knowl- edge of cholera, particularly in the area of therapeutic management. These con- tributions have earned him wide respect as a scholar and medical researcher. Dr. David B. Clark is professor of neurology at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine and chief of neurology service at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky. After earning his medical degree at the University of Chicago, he was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Medicine at the School of Medicine. Dr. Clark is an internationally recognized authority on child neurology, shaping the field through his original research. This field emphasizes the development of the human nervous system, using the tools of neurology and the neurosciences. One of the country's most gifted teachers in clinical neurology, he has lectured at Oxford University, the Royal College of Physicians in London, and the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Chil- dren in Sydney, Australia. For twelve years, from 1967 to 1979, he served as director of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Dr. Francis R. Hama, visiting professor at Stuttgart University, Federal Republic of Germany, has made major contributions to aerodynamics with his pioneering experiments on the instability of boundary layer flows under both subsonic and supersonic conditions, and the transition to turbulent flow. His research has also advanced scientific understanding of the behavior of curved vortices. Turbulent flow increases
