Nearly 100 years after his death. Abraham Lincoln is making an unexpected contribution to society. He is helping medical science learn more about an inherited condition known as the Marfan syndrome, which Lincoln is believed to have had.
Making a full study of our tallest president and his relation to the set of symptoms characterized by a tall, lanky build, eye involvement and in severe cases heart trouble, is the spare-time activity of a USC physician, Dr. Harold Schwartz.
Collects Relations
While other Lincoln buffs collect such material as books and photographs, Dr. Schwartz collects Lincoln’s relations. “Kin of Lincoln can be found all over America,” he says. When he finds them, he puts them in place on Lincoln's medical family tree.
In work published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and since expanded. Dr. Schwartz, an instructor at the School of Medicine, presents extensive evidence that our 16th president had the Marfan syndrome.
He has traced the Marfan gene back through Lincoln's paternal line to the first generation of Lincolns in this country, around 1630, just 10 years after the Pilgrims landed.
Six years ago, before he began his Lincoln study, Dr. Schwartz was not especially concerned with either history or the Marfan syndrome

even though he had studied at the University of Illinois.
Interns in L.A.
After receiving his M.D. from Illinois in 1950. the former New Yorker took his internship and residency at Los Angeles County General Hospital, where he diagnosed his first case of the Marfan syndrome.
But his interest as he entered practice centered on heart and lung disorders.
In his spare time. Dr. Schwartz liked to read biography, and he had just completed Carl Sandburg's great work on Lincoln in 1959 when a seven-year-old boy was brought to his office. He diagnosed the boy as having the Marfan syndrome.
Close Relatives
A few months later. Dr. Schwartz learned that one of the boy's close relatives had the same surname as the President and immediately wondered if Lincoln could have had the same condition as the boy. He followed his hunch and determined that the boy was a distant relative of the President.
The physician's life hasn't been the same since.
In search of historical material, he has traveled from coast to coast. As he became increasingly serious about his investigations, he had to background himself in history.

LOOKING AHEAD
One of the nation's most distinguished medical re-i searchers, Dr. Thomas Francis Jr., of the University of Michigan School of Public Health, will be visiting professor of microbiology Monday through Feb. 19 at the School of Medicine.
Dr. Francis isolated the first influenza viruses and laid the groundwork for the first influenza vaccine.
He will meet with faculty and students in the depart-
ments of microbiology, pediatrics, and medicine at the School of Medicine; conduct a seminar for the biological sciences division on campus; and meet with faculty and students at Loma Linda University and UCLA Schools of Medicine.
Dr. Francis’ discussion topics will include “The Role of Epidemiology in Problem Solving of Non-Infectious Diseases” (epidemiology is the study of the behavior of

In 1934, Dr. Francis was the first to confirm British investigators in isolating in fluenza virus (later called in fluenza A) from the throat washings of influenza patients. In 1940, he isolated influenza B virus and in 1950. with co-workers, he isolated influenza C virus.
Work done by Dr. Francis in 1935-36 led to the first influenza vaccine. In 1943, he directed controlled studies of influenza vaccine for the Army, which resulted in the inoculation of the entire Army against influenza A in 1945.
For this and other World War II services, Dr. Francis was awarded the Medal of Freedom by the War Department in 1946.

(iain Confidence
“Proof of last semester's success is the community demand for more tutors,” he added.
“By meeting with the same tutee every week, the university student helps his pupil gain confidence in his own abilities while himself learning to understand the problems of a minority community,” O’Toole said.
Visiting Educator Chosen To Study USC Curricula
Richard C. Webster, bookstore manager, has been promoted to assistant business manager in charge of business affairs at the School of Medicine, Business Manager Elton D. Phillips announced yesterday.
“The creation of this new position is intended to give more stature to the business operations of the School of Medicine because of its rapid growth,” Phillips explained.
“Students, faculty and staff of the Medical School will now have their own business department to go to rather than having to channel their requests to the main campus,” Phillips added.
Before assuming his posi-
tion as bookstore manager. Webster served as business office representative at the Medical School and as gift accounting supervisor on the main campus.
His new duties will include handling the budget, accounting and other financial responsibilities.
He will also be in charge of the Medical School bookstore and will supervise all operations and maintenance functions.
A separate Medical School business supervisor is necessary because of the impending increase in the size of the School of Medicine with the addition of a new research building and medical library.
Short Course Will Cover Air Crash Investigation
Dr. Harold R. W. Raajamin. visiting professor ofeduca-tion, has been named to direct a study of the curricula of LTSC s School of Education.
Dr. Benjamin will direct a detailed evaluation of today's preparation of teachers projected 35 years into the future.
The study will allow the university lo plan its programs in training educators.
