1 Boston, Massachusetts
Readers of Pediatrics, pediatricians all over the world, mourn the death of R. Cannon Eley, in Boston on April 29, 1971. The writer hopes that this personal tribute to our departed friend may not be taken as presumptuous by those who have known Cannon much longer.
Dr. Eley's association with pediatrics goes back a long time. He graduated from the University of Virginia (the only one that really counted for Cannon) in 1925 and after 2 years' internship at Charlottesville and at Willard Parker in New York, came to Boston Children's in 1927.
