MEDIC'S PICTURE
GIVEN HOSPITAL
Scholarship Is Also Pre-sented
to Charity
TP 3-2-67
A portrait of the late Dr. Leo
J. Kerne, director of Charity
Hospital from 1956 to 1965, and
a scholarship in his honor have
been presented to the hospital.
Dr. Don L. Peterson, vice-chairman
of the board of ad-ministrators
of Charity Hospital,
welcomed those gathered in the
hospital auditorium pointing out
that many of them had worked
closely with Dr. Kerne during
his nine years as director of
"this great institution."
Dr. Edgar Hull, professor of
medicine at LSU and Dr.
Kerne's family physician, de-scribed
the late director as a-man
who "was absolutely in-tolerant
of waste and inef-ficiency,
of bickering and self-seeking,
of ethical cornercut-ting;
but . . .patient." Dr.
Kerne was a man interested in
peace but also in progress
which for him was better pa-tient
care, Hull said.
Miss Margot Kerne then un-veiled
the portrait of her father
which was painted by John Clay
Porter.
Dr. Gilbert C. Tomskey, mem-ber
of the hospital's board of
administrators, presented the
Leo J. Kerne Memorial Schol-arship
to the director of the
Charity Hospital School of Nurs-area,
where Dr. Kerne grew up,
would be the recipient of the
award which covers the first
year's tuition and fees.
Both the portrait and th
scholarship fund were made
possible by donation to the hos-pital
"in memory of Dr. Kerne,"
he pointed out.
Sister Blanche reminded of
the "scholarship which Dr.
Kerne bestowed day by day in
his generous decisions" and
said that "nursing education is
scholarship in every sense of
the word." She expressed
thanks for the scholarship and
for.d memories of Dr. Kerne.
Mrs. Leo Kerne said, "On be-half
of my family I thank you
for honoring the memory of my
husband."
