Trivia of the week -- 1944

Last week’s posed question asked what time-honored tradition was given up during World War II in order to help produce more physicians who could serve the Allied effort. Summer vacation was sacrificed, compressing the four-year curriculum into three. Consequently, two classes from the School of Medicine graduated in 1944.

Lisa Stuck, Jennefer Aispuro, and Anuradha Diekmann are the three randomly chosen winners to answer correctly. Please send an e-mail to pr@llu.edu to claim your prize, which must be picked up within 60 days.

Also in 1944, an auditorium on campus was named after a treasured professor of pathology who had passed away at only 40 years of age following a car accident. Who was this individual?

Please e-mail the answer to pr@llu.edu by midnight on Tuesday, March 25, for a chance to win.
