The Clifford G. Grulee Award was created by the Executive Board in honor of Dr. Grulee upon his retirement as Executive Secretary in 1951. The Award is made for outstanding service to the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the presentation to the recipient is a feature of the annual business meeting. The Award consists of a handsome gold medal bearing the insignia of the Academy and the inscription "Clifford G. Grulee Award" on the face of the medal, and on the obverse side the name of the recipient with the inscription "For outstanding service to the American Academy of Pediatrics" (illustration in Pediatrics, 17:576, 1956). Presentation of the Grulee Award for 1956 was made to Dr. Philip S. Barba of Philadelphia by Dr. Grulee who remarked: "I am sure that all of you know Dr. Barba, if not personally, at least by reputation. He has long been an untiring and devoted worker for the American Academy of Pediatrics and its objectives. "Phil Barba was born in Philadelphia about 61 years ago. As a young man he left his native city long enough to acquire a college education at Princeton University, but he returned to Philadelphia to study medicine and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School in 1923. Dr. Barba has always lived in Philadelphia where he has had a busy practice and yet found time to take part in many civic health projects, to teach medical students and residents, and to work diligently for the Academy. "Phil Barba has served as Director of the Department of Pediatrics at Germantown Hospital; Chief of Pediatrics at Rexborough Memorial Hospital; attending pediatrician to St. Christopher's Hospital; Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Temple University School of Medicine and also as Associate Professor at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Medicine. More recently he has become the Director of the Family Health Advisor Service at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.

THE recipient of the Clifford G. Grulee Award of the American Academy of Pediatrics for 1965 is Clarence H. Webb of Shreveport, Louisiana. Born in Shreveport in 1902, Dr. Webb was graduated from Tulane University in 1923 and received his M.D. degree from the same university in 1925. Later—in 1931—he received the M.S. degree in pediatrics from the University of Chicago, where he completed a residency at the Bobs Roberts Hospital. Previously he had a year of residency at the University of Minnesota Hospital. Dr. Webb has been in the private practice of pediatrics in Shreveport since 1931. He has also been visiting lecturer at the Tulane School of Medicine since 1947 and professor of pediatrics in the Postgraduate School of the Louisiana State University School of Medicine since 1956. In addition, he finds time to lecture at the Northwestern College of Nursing in Natchitoches. He holds staff appointments at four private hospitals in the Shreveport area and is chief of pediatrics at Confederate Memorial Hospital. Dr. Webb is a member of a number of medical organizations and has served as president of the Louisiana and Shreveport Pediatric Societies, as well as president of the Shreveport Medical Society. He has been active in many local, state, and national organizations, including the Boy Scouts of America, the Louisiana Public Health Association, from which he received its annual award in 1957; the American Anthropological Association, and the Society for American Archeology. Dr. Webb served as president of the American Academy of Pediatrics in 1962-1963, previously serving as a member of the Executive Board and as chairman of District VIII. These services were outstanding and important.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has become aware of a proposal to National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) that "NIH [National Institutes of Health] prohibit any experimentation involving the transfer of a genetic trait from one mammalian species into the germ cell of another, unrelated mammalian species." An advisory committee rejected this proposal on Oct 29, 1984. For the record and in any event of further attempts to impose such a prohibition, the Academy, on recommendation of its Council on Research, has the following statement: Without specific study of the referenced experiments by Dr Ralph Brinster of the University of Pennsylvania, the American Academy of Pediatrics believes that such a blanket prohibition would be scientifically dangerous and detrimental to research efforts into understanding human disease, including cancer, and potentially to the development of new therapies. There is no true scientific basis for the proposed prohibition. The fact is that a large number of molecular structures, including complex ones, are held in common among the mammalian species. In reality, the species are much more similar than they are different. The species borders that the proposer talks about are a continuum and a blend rather than a sharp demarcation (as is evidenced in cell culture by the ability to fuse cells from many species). The prohibition would militate against certain possibilities for research and therapy related to inborn errors of metabolism. A gene for the production of an enzyme in one species often makes an enzyme that would produce the same kind of product found in the human.

IT IS WITH great pleasure that I accept the privilege of making the Clifford G. Grulee Award for 1959. This is the ninth time the Award has been made since its creation in 1951. The Clifford G. Grulee Award is made to a non-office holding member of the American Academy of Pediatrics for outstanding service to the Academy and its programs. It is regarded as the greatest honor the Academy can bestow upon one of its Fellows. This year the recipient of the Grulee Award, Dr. Wyman C. C. Cole, is well known to all of us. Dr. Cole was born in Minneapolis in 1893. He attended the University of Minnesota and graduated from the Medical School of that University in 1919. After doing his internship and residency training at the University Hospital in Minneapolis, Dr. Cole moved to Detroit to practice pediatrics. He is Chief of the Pediatric Department at Woman's Hospital; a senior physician at Harper Hospital, and is on the faculty at Wayne University School of Medicine. Dr. Cole has served as Academy State Chairman for Michigan, as well as a member of the Academy's Nominating Committee. For several years he was Secretary of the Pediatric Section of the American Medical Association and last year was Chairman of the Section. It is felt that Dr. Cole's principal contribution to the Academy was his service as Chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics' Committee on Fetus and Newborn from 1952 to 1957. During this period Dr. Cole guided the committee in the preparation of the 1954 and the 1957 editions of Standards and Recommendations for the Hospital Care of Newborn Infants. This publication is very highly regarded and has been widely distributed. Before retiring from the committee Dr. Cole supervised the preparation of the manuscript for the pamphlet Resuscitation of the Newborn Infant and suggested the mode of distribution which has resulted in 80,000 copies of this booklet being sent to pediatricians, obstetricians, general practitioners and hospital administrators. Though not an Academy effort, it is of interest to know that Dr. Cole has a son, Dr. Wyman C. C. Cole, Jr., who is also a Fellow of the Academy. It is with great pleasure that I present this medal symbolizing the Grulee Award to Dr. Cole.

The Clifford G. Grulee Award of the American Academy of Pediatrics was created by the Executive Board in honor of Dr. Grulee upon his retirement as Executive Secretary in 1951. The Award is made each year, if a suitable recipient is found, for outstanding service to the American Academy of Pediatrics. The actual award presentation is made at the annual business meeting and shall be made by Dr. Grulee as long as he is able to do so, or by the President of the Academy. The Award consists of a handsome gold medal bearing the Insignia of the Academy and the inscription "Clifford G. Grulee Award" on the face of the medal and on the obverse side the name of the recipient with the inscription "For outstanding service to the American Academy of Pediatrics." Presentation of the Grulee Award for 1955 was made to Dr. Herbert E. Coe of Seattle by Dr. Grulee with the following remarks: "Herbert E. Coe has been a Fellow in the American Academy of Pediatrics since 1932. In spite of his youthful appearance, Dr. Coe has been practicing medicine for almost 50 years, having graduated from the University of Michigan School of Medicine in 1906. He interned and did residencies at the Boston Children's Hospital and the Boston City Hospital. Since 1920 Dr. Coe has limited his work to pediatric surgery and is recognized as one of the first to so specialize in the United States. He is also one of the few pediatric surgeons to be certified by the American Board of Pediatrics, having passed the Pediatric Board examinations in 1936. "He has served as Chief of Staff at the Children's Orthopedic Hospital of Seattle and as Chief of Children's Surgery at the Seattle City Hospital. Dr. Coe, in addition to being a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, is also a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.

At the annual meeting of the State Chairmen of the American Academy of Pediatrics in 1952, Dr. Edward A. Wishropp made a brief report of the plan for giving comprehensive pediatric care in Windsor, Ontario. This had been studied by the Academy's Committee on Medical Care Plans. In order that the membership of the Academy might have more information about the work of this important committee, the editor of this column requested Dr. Wishropp and Dr. Edgar E. Martmer to prepare a communication on this subject. INSURANCE PLAN REPORT THERE are many programs throughout the United States, Canada and several foreign countries, providing some degree of medical services for infants and children. These range from governmentally financed programs, offering supposedly complete care, to those furnished by individual pediatricians having agreements between the pediatrist and the parents. Because no comprehensive review of these various plans has been made, the Executive Board of the American Academy of Pediatrics created a committee to study insurance plans and programs. The president, Dr. Warren Quillian, appointed a Committee on Medical Care Plans as a fact-finding group. Serving with Dr. Edward A. Wishropp, chairman, are:[See Table In Source PDF] Some basic considerations, presented by Dr. S. J. Axelrod, Assistant Professor of Public Health at the University of Michigan, can be outlined as follows and these must serve as a working nucleus in determining a worth while and workable plan.
