THE GRULEE AWARD

The Clifford G. Grulee Award of the American Academy of Pediatrics was created by the Executive Board in honor of Dr. Grulee upon his retirement as Executive Secretary in 1951.

The Award is made each year, if a suitable recipient is found, for outstanding service to the American Academy of Pediatrics. The actual award presentation is made at the annual business meeting and shall be made by Dr. Grulee as long as he is able to do so, or by the President of the Academy.

The Award consists of a handsome gold medal bearing the Insignia of the Academy and the inscription "Clifford G. Grulee Award" on the face of the medal and on the obverse side the name of the recipient with the inscription "For outstanding service to the American Academy of Pediatrics."

Presentation of the Grulee Award for 1955 was made to Dr. Herbert E. Coe of Seattle by Dr. Grulee with the following remarks:

"Herbert E. Coe has been a Fellow in the American Academy of Pediatrics since 1932. In spite of his youthful appearance, Dr. Coe has been practicing medicine for almost 50 years, having graduated from the University of Michigan School of Medicine in 1906. He interned and did residencies at the Boston Children's Hospital and the Boston City Hospital. Since 1920 Dr. Coe has limited his work to pediatric surgery and is recognized as one of the first to so specialize in the United States. He is also one of the few pediatric surgeons to be certified by the American Board of Pediatrics, having passed the Pediatric Board examinations in 1936.

"He has served as Chief of Staff at the Children's Orthopedic Hospital of Seattle and as Chief of Children's Surgery at the Seattle City Hospital. Dr. Coe, in addition to being a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, is also a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
