Medicine will present a special lecture on
the history of Canadian medical
education, Thursday, Aug. 10, at 8p.m. in
the History of Medicine Reading Room of

cancelled.
"Canadian Medical Education and the
Hannah Institute" will be the title of the
lecture to be given by the institute s

some of its current stresses and recent
attempts to broaden the experiences of
medical students through the activities of
the Hannah Institute, particularly with
the history of medicine.
An opportunity will be available to
discuss some present-day problems in
medical education in Canada and the
United States.

a private psychiatric hospital and was
given to Duke by its founder. Dr. Robert
S. Carroll, in 1939. Since 1967 it has
functioned as a division of the
Department of Psychiatry.
The chairman of that department. Dr.
H. Keith H. Brodie, who was with Anlyan
at the Highland meeting, said the staff of
approximately 200 includes 10
psychiatrists and about 70 nurses,
therapists and other professionals.
"Highland has thrived professionally
and economically, operating with a
balanced budget," Anlyan said. "But there
are overhead costs Highland has had to
bear as a division of Duke that could be
eliminated. This would contribute to an
even more economical management if it
were an autonomous operation."
At the same time, he said, Duke could
anticipate cost savings by not having
administrative responsibility for a
departmental operation 225 miles from
its central medical campus.

be discussed, Anylan said. Duke currently
has affiliations with VA hospitals in
Durham and at Oteen near Asheville, and
an affiliation for the training of post
doctoral physicians at Durham County
General Hospital as well as others.
John Shy tie, assistant vice president for
health affairs in administration, who also
attended the meeting in Asheville, said
the Job Corps approached Duke several
months ago about purchasing or leasing
Highland and its 90-acre campus.
Duke talked with the federal
authorities, he said, but decided that the
possibility of allowing Highland to
become an independent hospital affiliated
with Duke would be more desirable to
both institutions than would disposing of
the property by sale.
Native Americans
focus of exhibit
An exhibit featuring publications on
the American Indian is currently on
display in the cases adjoining the Public
Documents in the Perkins Library. These
materials, current and retrospective, are
all published by the federal government
and represent a significant variety of
topics.
One map shows places of historical
interest involving Indians in the past;
another, the number of Indians today;
and a third, location of Indian lands.
Items concerning such subjects as the
history of Indian-federal relations,
Indians in World War II, a biographical
dictionary of Indians and a selection of
constitutions of various tribes are shown.
Indian crafts, folklore and other
cultural aspects are represented.
Problems of today — developing
employment opportunities for Indians,
for example—also are included.
The exhibit will be displayed through
August.
This month filled with 'august'events
who says nothing happens in
August?
For those gastronomically inclined,
August has been proclaimed both
"Sandwich Month" and "National
Havasalad Month." And, with the
assumption that those sandwiches and
salads are made with wholesome
ingredients, it is also "Good Nutrition
Month."
This week we have been celebrating
"Turtles International Awareness
Week" and later this month well have
"Freedom of Enterprise Week."
If any of this brings a smile to your
face, you're just about on schedule.
Next week is "National Smile Week/'
following immediately after
"International Humor Exchange
Week," which is also "National Clown
Week."
On the other hand, as "an
alternative to persons who do not care
to smile all week during National Smile
Week," according to promoters, next
week has also been designated
"National Chigger Week."
