Happy Father's Day
A woman began the custom of honoring fathers. Father's Day (^n June 19
this year) was the idea of Mrs. John Dodd, who wished to honor Her father,
William Smart, for his devotion in rearing six motherless children.
Because of her efforts and those of the Spokane, Wash., Ministerial
Association, the holiday was first observed in 1910 in Spokane.
Since then Father's Day has been celebrated on the third Sunday in June.
President Wilson proclaimed the observance a holiday in 1916 and President
Coolidge recommenided it become an annual national observance in 1924.
In honor of Father's Day, Intercom is featuring a few of the father-son teams
who work at the medical center.

Degree Program Doesn't Interrupt Career

"In today's world, there is an
increasing awareness of the need for
advanced study in management,"
according to Dr. Thomas F. Keller,
dean of the Graduate School of
Business.
"To meet the needs of individuals
seeking an advanced degree, but
who cannot interrupt an established
career pattern, the business school
offers an evening program leading to
the Master of Management degree."
Among those who have taken
advantage of this opportunity are
several medical center staff.
Their individual reasons for
entering the program differed
somewhat, though the convenience
of evening classes was a common
factor.
And each has been impressed by
the quality of the faculty and
curriculum.
Gain Needed Tools
William J. Donelan, Department of
Medicine business maruiger, whose
college major was political science,
said that after he began working in
medical administration, "I enjoyed
what I was doing, but I realized I
didn't have the tools for dealing with
financial, business-oriented
problems. I became aware of the MM
program at about the same time. It
provided what I was looking for."
Similarly, Edward A. Daw,
assistant business manager. Medical
PDC, wanted to further his
education in management and
administration.
"With a family, I had to be able to
continue working full-time and go to
school in the evening," he said. "The
MM program was new, and the only
one like it in the area. It was very
practical in my situation, and proved
to be a very v^uable program.
By Accident
Unlike Donelan and Daw, Robert
Bernstein, administrative manager.
Central Pharmaceutical Services, got
into the program "entirely by
accident."
His primary intention was to earn
a Master of Health Administration
Degree, though he too needed to
keep working.
. "I would have had either to drag it
out over four or five years, or to take
credits at night," he said.
So he arranged to take courses in
the MM cxirriculum and transfer
credit to his MHA program. Now he
is ending up earning both degrees in
August.
(The Department of Health
Administration offers the
opportunity for study leading to a
number of joint degrees, also
including MD-MHA, JD-MHA, and
PhD-MHA.)
Beneficial Program
Unlike most people in the MM
program, Bernstein's imdergraduate
major was management. So there has
been some duplication for him, but
he said the program was especially
beneficial to his classmates.
One of his classmates is Ran

son Roy N. Crenshaw Jr. started working
in pediatric cardiology in 1968. After
transferring to the Department of
Surgery, he was assigned by the
department chairman to the SPDC. A
daughter, Ann Crenshaw Harris, has
been activity director for the Summer
Speech Camp on the Duke campus for
the last 10 years. "We have very good
rapport here and outside as long as I get
to play golf and he gets to work outside,"
said Roy Jr., who named his first son Roy
III.
