Letters to the Editor

Robert J. Haggerty M.D.1

1 Department of Pediatrics, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York 14620

I am glad to have Dr. Yankauer correct my error of history. In checking with old-timers about Rochester, it is clear that Kaiser was the dove of his day. But, failing to put the brakes on the massive community-wide tonsil and adenoid program, he had the perceptiveness to organize the follow-up study.

A further sidelight on history: Kaiser was the butt of a good deal of hostility from the academic profession who felt he had instituted the study in Rochester and who, because of this, kept him from membership in the American Pediatric Society for many years.
