Macy Grant Helps Expand History of Medicine Program The History of Medicine program is being expanded and strengthened through a two-year, $53,600 grant from the Josiah f»^acy Jr. Foundation of New York City. It was the Macy Foundation, in 1966, that provided initial support to establish a History of Medicine curriculum at Duke. In the program a small number of selected students who anticipate academic careers are financially supported in earning jointly doctorates in medicine and history. In each of the four years from 1967-70, one student was admitted. The first student. Dr. Russell Maulitz, received his degrees in 1973 and has joined the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Robert Powell, who also has received both his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees, will join the faculty at the University of Missouri in Kansas City following a year of training in psychiatry in Syracuse, N.Y. Four students are currently in various phases of their studies. The new Macy grant will be used to add a faculty member and secretarial help. Dr. Gert H. Brieger, who has headed the program since 1970, said that both the undergraduate history department course and the medical school’s elective courses in the history of medicine have grown. “The presence of an M.D.-Ph.D. student in the medical school classes has had a definite stimulating effect in raising the interests of fellow students in the history of medicine," Brieger said. The addition of another historian in medicine, he said, ‘‘will enable us to increase the course offerings, thereby providing more teaching in the history of medicine, both graduate and undergraduate." Brieger noted that with the completion later this year of the Seeley G. Mudd Building, Duke’s new medical library and communications center, the program's students will have increased access to the Trent Collection in the history of medicine and the recently acquired Barchas Collection in the history of medicine and science. Macy’s support of the expanded program, coupled with the new library facilities and the Trent and Barchas collections, Brieger said, “will make Duke a premier center for research and teaching in the history of medicine. ” Personnel Paragraphs ThJs is a column for and about employees, faculty and staff at the medical center.

Drug Program Set for Clergy Religious leaders from across the state are expected to attend a conference on “Drugs and Our Society’’ here next Tuesday and Wednesday. The two-day symposium, originally scheduled for Jan. 21-22, is designed for members of the working clergy who experience drug-related problems in the course of their duties. The Behavioral Neuropharmacology Section of the Department of Psychiatry will host the program. The conference, which is sponsored by a grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, will be held in Perkins Library. Psychiatrists, ministers, counselors and social workers will set their discussions around the following conference goals: —To place the current drug problem in perspective and to share some facts about drug use and abuse. —To enhance the clergy’s counseling skills as they relate to drug situations. —To discuss the clergy’s role in a community response to the drug problem. —According to highway traffic fatality statistics, the most dangerous day to drive is Saturday, but the most dangerous time is between 5-6 p.m. on a weekday.
