CLIFFORD G. GRULEE

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 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.
