Vanderbilt University School of Medicine announces that Professor Arvid Wallgren, of Stockholm, Sweden, will be the next Abraham Flexner lecturer. Professor Wallgren will arrive in the United States about March 1, 1949. The original announcement of this Lectureship was made in the fall of 1927 when Mr. Bernard Flexner, of New York City, gave $50,000 to Vanderbilt University for the purpose of establishing the Abraham Flexner Lectureship in the School of Medicine. This Lectureship is awarded every two years to a scientist of outstanding attainment who shall spend as much as two months in residence in association with either a department of a fundamental science or of a clinical branch.
