10 NEW A. O. A.—Dr. James T. Cleland, right, receives his honorary Alpha Omega Alpha membership from Dr. James F. CJlenn, chief of urology and adviser to the Duke chapter of AOA. AOA Names Dean Cleland Some people around the medical cen ter might have wondered over the years if Dr. James T. Cleland wasn't really a doctor instead of a minister because he has spent so much time here. Dr. James F. Glenn, chief of urology, noted that Dr. Cleland, dean of Duke Chapel and James B. Duke Professor Emeritus of Preaching, "has made Duke University School of Medicine a part of his daily life. "His attendance and hospital rounds have become a familiar part of medical education in this institution," Dr. Glenn added. A few years ago Dean Cleland was made an honorary alumnus of the med ical school, but now something even more distinctive has come his way. The national board of Alpha Omega Alpha, honor medical society, approved Dr. Glenn's nomination of Dean Cleland to honorary membership--the first such membership ever to be conferred on a non-medical person at Duke. It was one of only two honorary memberships ap proved nationally during the year. At the Dean's Hour on Feb. 27 the membership was conferred on Dean Cle land, a man whom Dr. Barnes Woodhall called "one of the great intellectuals of the last few decades at Duke University."

Leake of the Univer sity of California School of Medicine told an audience at the amphitheater Feb. 27 that a patient has the right to die. Dr. Leake, who delivered the Trent lecture in the history of medicine talked on "Theories of Ethics in Relation to Medical Practice." "If a patient wants to die, then let him," Dr. Leake said in a discussion on the ethics of keeping a patient alive when there is no recordable brain function. The senior lecturer and coordinator of medical student research training noted that organ transplantation causes "moral muddle." Dr. Leake postulated that ethics now being developed are attempts at compro mise between the ethic of hedonism and that of social welfare. The Trent Lecturer is the author of 10 books and more than 600 articles and scientific papers. Magerea Glenn and family would like to thank medical records and all Duke employes for the money, clothing, gifts, and acts of kindness shown following the fire that partially destroyed their house.
