Duke Gets $1 Million To Establish
Two Professorships in Pediatrics
Duke has received gifts totaling $1
million to establish two professorships in
general pediatrics.
The gift marks a re-emphasis at Duke
and at medical schools throughout the
country on training physicians for general
application of their medical training.
The professorships, recipients of which
have not been chosen, will be called the
Wilburt C. Davison Professorships in
General Pediatrics. Dr. Davison was dean
of the Duke School of Medicine from
1927-60 whose specialty was pediatrics.
Half of the million-dollar gift came
from the Duke Endowment and the other
half from the Doris Duke Foundation.
Miss Duke is the daughter of James B.
Duke, who left funds for establishment of
Duke University.
While Duke will continue to offer
specialty training in many areas of
pediatrics, such as pediatric cardiology,
neurology and immunology-allergy, the
new professorships will enable the
Department of Pediatrics to concentrate
more fully on the training of the general
physician for infants and children.
