NEW ORLEANS has long been notable for the many able and eminent men who have developed here in medicine and surgery. It has lost some of them by their removal to other places, and in late years death has taken away too many others, some of them all too early in their careers, The Orleans faculty has also profited by the accession of several very notable practitioners and teachers from other parts. But we doubt that these have offset the losses. On this account it is always a pleasure to, welcome any distinguished medical man to our midst.
We are correspondingly glad to note that Dr. Chester Arthur Stewart, of Minneapolis, has accepted a chair in the LSU faculty. He has won distinction in the field of children's diseases, with special reference to tuberculosis in children, both as professor in Minnesota University and in practice in that state. He has published a great many of his studies; and was chosen by the National Tuberculosis Association to represent it in 1937 at an International Congress of Pediatricians in Rome.
We hope he will find the pleasantest of associations with his Orleans brethren and a fruitful and happy professoriate here.
