I still remember an HC evening class on medical ethics that I took back in the 1960s. It was mostly pre-med students, but it was an area in which I had interest. There were a variety of fields represented among the students and all got a good deal from that course. Possibly one of my best classes ever...theonly one to start at 7:30pm. Such programs continue to honor the names of alumni and add to the field of knowledge presented to both current students, faculty and alumni. The kicker is always having sufficient sounds to insure continuation of the honor. If it. draws on more than interest/proceeds from the initial funds it m eans the program will not continue. HC has the Hanify Howland lecture which has attracted major speakers year in and year out. www.holycross.edu/hanify-howland-memorial-lecture/previous-lectures I doubt that they would want to upstage it. I think HC could offer an annual lecture on ethics. I have an idea for a great speaker for the inaugural event irp.nih.gov/pi/christine-gradyI bet Dr. Fauci would come. (One of the most popular classes at HC in the early 80s, and one I recall vividly to this day, was Father Paris's Law, Medicine and Ethics. He was an engaging professor and we talked about end of life issues, assisted fertilization, allocation of scarce resources, etc. ) Fr. Paris was Mr.Paris, a Scholastic in the mid 60s who was becoming an expert in medical ethics and though I never took his class, I knew and respected him. We often spoke of ethics connected to medicine and other relevant topics. One of these conversations came in the parking lot of the Yale Bowl after an HC football game in the 70s. |

Okay, I can take a hint: I will make myself available "Bourbon, Bunting (don't) and Betting the Ponies--A Man for Others' Guide to Life." That is very, very well done |

TEL AVIV, Israel— Dr. Anthony Fauci has won the $1 million Dan David Prize for “defending science” and advocating for vaccines now being administered worldwide to fight the coronavirus pandemic.
The Israel-based Dan David Foundation on Monday named President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser as the winner of one of three prizes. It said he had earned the recognition over a lifetime of leadership on HIV research and AIDS relief, as well as his advocacy for the vaccines against COVID-19.
