A Look Back

Even groundbreaking scientists make time to read the Medical Bulletin

Jonas Salk, M.D., developer of the first polio vaccine, picked up a copy of the Medical Bulletin on November 16, 1961, when he spoke before the University of Minnesota chapter of the honorary medical fraternity Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA). He gave a lecture titled "Humanities from the Viewpoint of a Biologist" to a capacity crowd at the Mayo Auditorium and was honored at the fraternity's initiation banquet later that evening.
