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.

Jamie Fiske is a child who underwent a successful liver transplant for extrahepatic biliary atresia at the University of Minnesota Health Sciences Center. Nationwide publicity resulted when the father received permission to address the American Academy of Pediatrics with regard to a donor liver for his daughter. The parents of the child who donated the liver were aware of this dramatic form of public appeal. It is extremely unlikely that the liver transplantation in this case would have occurred without media involvement. Also unlikely is that two commentaries on this subject (Starzl et al1 and this paper) would have been sought by Pediatrics without the publicity surrounding this case.

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.

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.

On October 22, 1970 a portion of the annual meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics in San Francisco was devoted to a conference on the utilization of allied health workers in meeting the manpower crisis. It was jointly sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Nurses' Association and was the third and most successful of similar meetings. The first one, held at the Academy's Chicago meeting in October, 1969, provided an introduction to the concept of pediatric nurse practitioners. The second, held at the Washington meeting of the Academy in April, 1970, resulted in a frank exchange of views of the official nursing organizations and academy representatives and pointed to the need for open discussion and collaboration on the subject. The San Francisco meeting got down to the business of a more objective analysis of issues, and though there was much heated discussion most of it was constructive. An attempt was made by the planning committee to include on the program different models of allied health workers in pediatrics. The program highlighted discussion about discharged medical corpsmen, laboratory technologists, pediatric assistants, as well as the more familiar pediatric nurse practitioner. Of the 418 persons in attendance, 294 were nurses, 43 physicians, and 81 were other interested persons. When one of the nurses criticized the fact that there were so few physicians in attendance, Donald Frank of Cincinnati, a member of the Academy's Manpower Committee, pointed out that there was a fivefold improvement in physician attendance since the first conference. The opening keynote address was given by Philip R. Lee, M.D., former HEW official, now Chancellor of the University of California at San Francisco, who refreshingly offered no simple solutions.
