In Memoriam
ON OCTOBER 6, 1949, Dr. Charles Anderson Aldrich died at his home in Rochester, Minn., aged 61 years, at the peak of a fruition of a long and distinguished career in medicine and pediatrics. He was Director of the Rochester Child Health Institute.
An outline of his activities and interests would extend into every phase of medical practice, for he followed multiple and varied phases in general practice, specialization in pediatrics, clinical investigation, administrative practice, both hospital and community, counseling, extensive committee and conference work, initiating and developing programs and finally pioneering in a community project to study aspects of growth and development of infants and children living in a normal environment and over a long period of time.
