MAA Honors Irving J. Taylor, ’43M, & Class of ’59
There were two awards but just one recipient. Irving J. Taylor, ’43M, became the medical school’s first graduate to receive both the Honor Award & Gold Key and Distinguished Service Award in the same year. Presented since 1948, the gold key recognizes outstanding contributions to medicine and distinguished service to mankind. Taylor was recognized for his work in the field of psychiatry. As for the Distinguished Service Award, presented since 1986 for outstanding service to the medical alumni association and school, Taylor’s moral and financial support were cited as contributing factors. Twenty-two of the surviving members of the class of 1959, celebrating a golden anniversary, were honored during the luncheon held at Westminster Hall.
 Honor Award & Gold Key & MAA Service Award  Alumni, faculty, and friends are invited to send in nominations for two MAA-sponsored awards by November 1, 2009. The Honor Award & Gold Key is presented to a living graduate based on outstanding contributions to medicine and distinguished service to mankind.

The Medical Alumni Association Service Award is given to an individual who has provided outstanding service to the Association and Medical School. The awards will be presented during the Reunion Recognition Luncheon on Friday, May 1, 2009. Letters of nomination for both awards must include a curriculum vitae and should be addressed to: Joseph Martinez, '98 |
