Béla Schick, 1877-1967, a Gracious Man

Thomas E. Cone Jr. M.D.1

1 Children's Hospital Medical Center, 300 Longwood Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02115

In his tenderly written eulogy in the February issue, Dr. Hodes calls attention to Dr. Schick's warmth and friendliness towards others. Although I was not a close personal friend, I was the recipient over the years of a number of neatly, hand-written letters from this great man. These letters always had a gracious tone reminiscent of a bygone era. An example of this is the following written to me in 1964 when Dr. Schick was in his eighty-seventh year:

Oct. 23, 1964

I Just returned from Israel two days ago and found your kind letter of October 10th awaiting me. As much as I would like to attend your meeting Monday evening I feel that it will be impossible for me to do so at the present time.
