1 Cleveland, Ohio
On November 9, 1968, American pediatrics lost a scholar, investigator, educator, and humanist of rare quality in William McLean Wallace, since 1952 Gertrude Lee Chandler Tucker Professor of Pediatrics at Case Western Reserve University. The special flavor he contributed to our lives and the untimeliness of his death deepen the sense of loss, here and elsewhere. A brief note on Dr. Wallace's life may be appropriate in a journal on whose Editorial Board he long served.
