Alumni to Serve on Staff
SDA Hospital in NY
To Open Early in ' 65
" The only Seventh- day Adventist hospital in the State of New
York will open early next year in Yonkers," Dunbar W. Smith, SM
' 50, acting administrator, reports to SCOPE.______________
Located just four miles out
side New York City, Bates Me
morial Hospital will open with
50 beds, and could expand to 100
immediately if numbers of staff
and patients make this desir
able. The hospital is bordered
by a 500- acre county park, and
includes 80 acres of heavily
wooded property purchased by
the Greater New York Confer
ence of Seventh- day Adventists
at a cost of $ 1,000,000. The New
York state thruway is closely
adjacent to the hospital grounds.
" Dr. James J. Short, former
School of Medicine faculty
member, an internist, is the
medical director. To do an out
standing job he needs addition
al internists and pediatricians,"
according to Dr. Smith.
A church school is main
tained on the site for the chil
dren of employees and staff of
the hospital. Academy age
young people attend Greater
New York Academy in nearby-
New York City.
" With only one Seventh- day
Adventist physician for each
400,000 persons in the state,
and now with our first hospital,
New York is in every sense a
mission field. Though close to
the city, our lovely property
gives a feeling of spacious tran-quility
usually associated with
living far out in the country,"
says Dr. Smith.
Already accepted to the med
ical staff of Bates Memorial
Hospital are John T. Croft, SM
' 44- B, orthopedics; Masao Na-kamoto,
SM ' 55, gynecology
and obstetrics; Edmund E.
Good, SM ' 39, general practice;
V. McKinley Wiles, SM ' 37,
urology; Harry J. Weber, SM
' 40, surgery; Velda J. Weber,
SM ' 41, internal medicine and
anesthesiology; and J. Wayne
McFarland, SM ' 39, physical
medicine.
Dr.. Josephine Lockwood, in
ternist, is also on the staff.
The Sunday, August 23, 1964
edition of the New York Jour
nal American carried a two-page
spread in the magazine
section on the medical and
health program of the Seventh-day
Adventist Church.
Donors Honored
As Associates
Donors named as the first
University Associates are Drs.
Andrew J. and Sue Ann Ger-lach

graduate who has studied in
many institutions of learning
and has earned numerous de
grees in the health sciences. He
has done much private research
on the mental, spiritual, and
physical aspects of living. The
Gerlachs are doctors of phil
osophy. Each is very interested
in educational programs for
young people," according to W.
O. Reynolds, director of devel
opment.
Dr. Linnie K. Black is a re
tired osteopathic physician of
Newport- Richy, Florida. " She
is a philanthropist who has
faithfully supported education
and church building programs
in the US and abroad," Mr.

The University has a set plan
for recognizing giving. For less

Sixtieth Anniversary
Series Celebrating Founding
Launched by Dr. Paul Tillich
BATES MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, Yonkers, New York, is located
mi 80 acres of heavily wooded property purchased by the New York
Conference of Seventh- day Adventists at a cost of $ 1,000,000. This
is the first church- owned hospital in New York.
The School of Medicine Alum

great theological minds of our

outspoken criticism of Nazi-ism,
he came to America where
he soon established a brilliant
career, first at Union Theolog
ical Seminary and then as Uni

Open House Held
At Osier in LA
The School of Medicine
Alumni Association moved into
its newly refurbished quarters
at 1832 Michigan / venue, Los
Angeles, October 7- 9. Open
house was December 16. The
new address with its gabled
roof and touches of Elizabethan
architecture is familiarly known
to many alumni as Osier House.
Formerly the Association was
located at 316 South Bailey
Street.
More than the Alumni Asso
ciation have moved. The Wom
en's Auxiliary, Dr. Gus H.
Hoehn's pill packaging quar
ters, and Summa Medica have
set up residence on the second
floor of Osier House. The San
Lucas Press building is being
torn down.

Construction Booms
In Community
Loma Linda is in the tide of
a construction boom to meet
the housing needs of migrating
Los Angeles University person
nel and students and the influx
expected when the medical cen
ter is completed in 1967. Ac
cording to personnel, the center
will employ 2000 compared to
the 1200- 1300 now employed by
the University Hospital.
Apartments, furnished and
unfurnished, are modern and
mostly double bedroom. The
Mayberry Manor has 100 living
units, and University Gardens
has completed 228 of a pro
jected 324. A subdivision on
Park and Cottage off Poplar
has 20 lots for apartments.
New Era Homes on Barton
Road has built 36 houses; Uni
versity Homes off Mountain
View Avenue, 80; the develop
ment on South Barton Road
contains another 40- some
homes; E. J. Miller Construc
tion Company has built 12
houses on Richmont Road; Lin
da View Estates comprised of
90 lots is three- quarters filled;
another University subdivision
has 74 view lots.
Plans for continued building
will outpace the current need
so that when the center is fin
ished people employed there
will have housing awaiting
them.
20 Cows Leave LLU;
21 Arrive in Korea
Korean Union College got
more than it bargained for
when it negotiated with Loma
Linda University for 20 Hoi-stein
heifers.
Twenty heifers sailed from
San Francisco on September
30 but 21 arrived in Seoul. One
of the cows gave birth to a calf
in Pusan, said T. V. Zytoskee,
president of Korean Union Col
lege, in a letter which just ar
rived.
Loma Linda University sold
the cows at a reduced price in
order to help stock the dairy
An IBM computer system
valued at $ 200,000 is now in
operation on campus. Known
as the Scientific Computation
Facility, the computer is located
in the library building.
" The facility will be used by
the University for academic
and basic science research,"
said Robert E. Cleveland, PhD,
vice president for academic af
fairs and chairman of the new
ly established Scientific Com
putation Committee. " The
computer will operate as a scien
tific and educational laboratory
which will have research and
education priorities different
from those of the computer
used by the accounting office."
Application
The first project for the new
computer involved developing a
master file for the School of
Nutrition and Dietetics in
which the individual nutrients
of most foods were catalogued.
The computer is now able to
analyze a given recipe and pre
dict the nutritive value of the
product.
" The computer system is be
ing kept busy with a wide var
iety of projects ranging from
clinical to basic sciences and
including information retrieval,
biological modeling in pulmon
ary physiology, and statistical
analysis," according to Ivan R.
Neilsen, PhD, professor of bio
physics.
" Computer simulation of bio
logical systems now makes pos
sible analysis and increased un
derstanding. Many experiments
traditionally conducted in con
ventional laboratories can now
be carried out on the computer.
We are encouraging greater
amounts of student research
participation," he said.
Contributions
The system was made possi
ble with funds coming from
several sources. The School of
Medicine furnished approxi
mately § 80,000 which included
an $ 8,000 donation by the Walt
er E. Macpherson Society. An
IBM Corporation educational
contribution provided support
to the extent of $ 110,000.
Seminars, Courses
Earlier this year the depart
ment of physiology and biophys
ics under the direction of Clar
ence R. Collier, MD, professor
and chairman of the depart
ment, conducted a series of
three seminars discussing the
values and uses of computers in
the fields of biology and medi
cine.

alyst Milton E. Barber taught
a non- credit course in program
ming during October. Research
ers who planned to work with
the computer studied Fortran,
the language used to communi
cate with the computer system.
. The course will be repeated
upon sufficient demand, Dr.
Neilsen states, and more ad
vanced work is planned for
~ those who have finished the
introductory course.

started.
The Korean school sent the
University a framed certificate
of appreciation to show their
gratitude.
