'The Citizenry and the Hospital’
9th National Forum Begins Today at Duke
Some 140 hospital administrators and
health care professionals from across the
nation are at Duke today to consider the
logic and practicality of “citizen
participation" in the affairs of hospitals
and other community service agencies.
The two-day meeting is the ninth
annual National Forum on Hospital and
Health Affairs sponsored by Duke’s
Department of Health Administration.
The meeting goes through tomorrow.
Presiding at the forum is Dr. B. Jon
Jaeger, chairman of the department.
The theme, "The Citizenry and the
Hospital," was prompted by a movement
born in the 1960's to give a voice to the
previously voiceless, the consumer. The
movement has led to legislation which has
placed consumers or "community
representatives" in control of many
governmental agencies and advisory
boards.
Although most hospitals have not been
legally compelled to provide such citizen
participation, they have been confronted
with moral, economic and community
pressures to do so. Many hospitals have
attempted to provide for citizen
participation, and professionals in the
field believe that others would follow if
the wisdom and the best method of doing
so were more clearly established.
The National Forum—with a staff that
includes authorities on the health care
system, political science, law and urban

Over 200 Students Receive Degrees
in Medicine, Nursing and Health Fields
Sixty-nine physicians, 91 nurses, 21
health administrators, 12 physical
therapists and 12 physician's associates,
all newly recognized in their professions,
emerged from Cameron Indoor Stadium
last Sunday afternoon climaxing the
equivalent of over 700 years of training in
medicine, nursing and allied health fields.
It was the university's 121st
Commencement ceremony.
Vernon E. Jordan Jr., executive
director of the National Urban League,
delivered the Commencement address and
received an honorary Doctor of Laws
degree in recognition of his civil right-
work and dedication to higher education.
On Saturday, May 12, the Hippocratic
Oath ceremony for graduates in medicine
was held in the Duke Chapel. Dr. Thomas
D. Kinney, director of medical and allied
health education, was speaker at the
event.
A recognition ceremony for the new
nurses was also held in the chapel on
Saturday. Dr. Lois Pounds, assistant
professor of pediatrics and assistant
professor of nursing, spoke before the
group.
Three of the new physicians received
both their M.D. and Ph.D. degrees
Sunday after completion of Duke's
medical scientist program begun in the
mid-1960's. They are William L. High of
Boone, N.C., and Salvatore V. Pizzo and
Martin L. Schwartz of Philadelphia, Pa.
This year's graduation marked the first
time the Bachelor of Health Science
degree was awarded to graduates of the
medical center's Physician's Associate
Program.
Printed below are lists of June
graduates of the School of Medicine, the
School of Nursing and degree programs
offered by the departments of Health

Donald Hackel, professor of pathology, takes her blood pressure. Such emergency
measures were deemed necessary by the physicans as Dr. Osterhout attempted to
recover from her surprise at having been selected by medical students as one of this
year's recipients of the Golden Apple award for excellence in teaching. Dr. Wechsler
and Dr. Hackel were likewise honored for their abilities as teachers in the School of
Medicine. See story on page 3. (Photo by Dale Moses)
