Two Teachers Honored
By Mulholland Society

University medical students
Friday Eight honored Theodore
Keats, chairman of radiology,
and Thomas W. Lamb, assistant
professor of physiology, as outstanding
teachers.

Dr. Keats received the Robley
Dunglison Award which the graduating
class in medicine gives
each year to a member of the
medical faculty.

Dr. Lamb became the first recipient
of the Robert Bennett
Bean Award, which the Mulholland
Society, the medical student
association, established to
recognize outstanding teaching in
the basic medical sciences.

The two educators were honored
at the Mulholland Society's
first medical school ball, held at
Alumni Hall for students, house
staff and faculty.

The new award is named in
honor of Dr. Bean who was a
noted anthropologist and chairman
of the anatomy department
here from 1916 to 1942. The
winner each year will have his
name added to a plaque in the
medical library and will receive
a Jefferson cup from the society.

Dr. Lamb has served on the
faculty here two years and was
recently named a John and Mary
R. Markle Scholar, a national
honor which recognizes young
medical educators for scholarship,
professional competence and
promise. He received his medical
degree from the Harvard Medical
School and a master's degree
from the University where he
took graduate training in surgery.

Dr. Keats' name will be added
to the Dunglison Plaque in the
medical library. This award was
named for the original member
of the medical faculty here, a
British medical scholar who began
teaching here in the 1820s.

Dr. Keats taught at the University
of California and at the
University of Missouri before becoming
professor and chairman
of radiology here in 1963. A diagnostic
radiologist, he received
his medical degree from the University
of Pennsylvania and his
graduate training in radiology at
the University of Michigan.
