Pellegrino Named laetare Medal Winner

Dr. Edmund D. Pellegrino, John Carroll Professor of Medicine and Medical Ethics at Georgetown Univer­sity, will receive Notre Dame's 1998 Laetare Medal, during commencement exercises May 17.

Edmund Daniel Pellegrino was born in Newark, N.J., on June 22, 1920. He was graduated from St. John's Univer­sity in 1941 and received his medical degree from New York University in 1944. He served residencies in medi­cine at Bellevue, Goldwater Memorial and Homer Folks Tuberculosis Hospi­tals before becoming a research fellow in renal medicine and physiology at New York University.

He became professor and chairman of the department of medicine at the Uni­versity of Kentucky Medical Center in 1959. He joined the medical faculty of the State University of New York (SUNY) at Stony Brook in 1966 and was appointed dean of the SUNY medical school two years later. From 1975 to 1978, he was president of the Yale-New Haven Medical Center, and from 1978 to 1982, he was a professor of philoso­phy and biology. at Catholic University of America in Washington. A member of the Georgetown University faculty since 1982, he is the former director of Georgetown's Kennedy Institute of Ethics, Center for the Advanced Study of Ethics, and Center for Clinical Bioethics.

Pellegrino, whose scholarly interests include the history and philosophy of medicine, professional ethics and the physician-patient relationship, has written more than 500 articles and 17 books. He sits on numerous editorial boards, including that of the Joumal of Medicine and Philosophy, which he founded, and has been the recipient of 40 honorary degrees, the American Medical Association's Benjamin Rush Award and the Association of Ameri­can Medical Colleges' Abraham Flexner Award.

In a recent book, Dignity and Dying: A Christian Appraisal, Pellegrino wrote, "On the Christian view, a dignified death is one in which the suffering person takes advantage of all the mea­sures available to relieve pain and ameliorate the things that cause a loss of imputed dignity but also recognizes that his or her innate dignity remains. A dignified and humane death is one in which we participate in the mystery which is at the root of our existence as creatures. In a dignified death, we af­firm ourselves as persons by giving ourselves over to God's presence even in our most despairing moments, just as Jesus did in the awful hours of Gethsemane and Golgotha. Paradoxi­cally, the death by crucifixion was, for the Romans who crucified Jesus, the most undignified of deaths. Yet, in the way Jesus confronted crucifixion, it be­came the most dignified death the world has ever experienced."

Established at Notre Dame in 1883, the Laetare Medal was conceived as an American counterpart of the Golden Rose, a papal honor which antedates the 11th century. The medal has been awarded annually at Notre Dame to a Catholic "whose genius has ennob~ed the arts and sciences, illustrated the ideals of the Church and enriched the heritage ofhumanity."

Kernan Named Commencement Speaker

Indiana Lt. Gov. Joseph Kernan, a Notre Dame alumnus and the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., will be the principal speaker and receive an hon­orary doctorate at the 153rd Com­mencement exercises.

A 1968 graduate of Notre Dame with a bachelor's degree in government, Kernan was elected in 1996 along with Indiana Gov. Frank O'Bannon. As lieu­tenant governor, Kernan serves as president of the state Senate, director of the Department of Commerce and commissioner of agriculture.

After graduation from Notre Dame, Kernan entered the U.S. Navy and served as a flight officer aboard the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk. He was shot down while on a reconnaissance mission over North Vietnam in May 1972 and was held for 11 months as a prisoner of war. Kernan was repatriated in 1973 and continued on active duty in the Navy until December 1974. For his service, he received numerous awards, including the Navy Commendation Medal, two Purple Hearts and the Dis­tinguished Flying Cross.

Kernan was elected mayor of South Bend in 1987 and served for nine years, longer than any mayor in the city's history. During that time, he and Notre Dame's president, Rev. Edward A. Malloy, C.S.C., developed several cooperative projects, including South Bend's nationally recognized Center for the Homeless, the National Youth Sports Program, and Christmas in April, an annual housing rehabilitation effort mobilizing thousands of volunteers from Notre Dame and the community.

Also as mayor, Kernan played a pri­mary role in improving South Bend's bond rating, increasing the presence of uniformed police officers on the street, and attracting more than $160 million in private investment through the Blackthorn Development Area.

T H E u

Prior to his election as mayor, Kernan served for four years as South Bend's city controller and worked in the pri­vate sector for Procter and Gamble in Cincinnati and in South Bend for Schwarz and MacWilliams Corp.

Tuition Increase Announced

N

Undergraduate tuition and average room and board charges at the Univer­sity of Notre Dame will increase 5. 7 percent for the 1998-99 academic year. An increase of $1,100 will bring tuition and fees to $20,900. Room and board charges will rise $305 to an average of $5,325, for a combined cost of $26,225.

In a letter to parents of 1998-99 under­graduate students, Rev. Edward A. Malloy, C.S.C., noted that current stu­dents are the recipients of$19.3 mil­lion in University-administered schol­arships, a total almost four times what was available in 1990 and 20 percent more than was spent in 1996-97. The figure will rise 21 percent to $23.4 mil­lion next year, as the University begins a five-year plan with the goal of meet­ing the need of every entering student.

Tuition and room and board charges at Notre Dame remain below those of most comparable private universities. In total student charges for the current academic year, Notre Dame ranks 82 out of 120, with a cost below both the midpoint and the average for this group.

Graduate School tuition in 1998-99 will be $20,800, and tuition in both the Law School and master's programs -in busi­ness will be $21,500.

Deaths

Daniel J. Pasto, professor emeritus of chemistry and biochemistry, March 25. Pasta received A.A.S. and B.S. degrees from the Rochester Institute of Tech­nology in 1956 and 1957 and a Ph.D. from Iowa State University in 1960. He joined the Notre Dame faculty in 1961 and retired in 1995. His research interests included the use of a wide range of chemical and physical tech­niques, including kinetics, thermody­namics, stereochemistry, isotopic la­beling structure determination (using nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, ion cyclotron resonance, photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry), and molecular orbital theory. He authored and co-authored 200 research publications and text books in organic chemistry, organic structure determination and experi­ments and techniques in organic chemistry. Pasto received many hon­ors including: Outstanding Young Men of America, 1965; Alfred P. Sloan Fel­low, 1967-69; Distinguished Alumnus Award of the Rochester Institute of Technology, 1973; NATO fellowship at the University de Strasbourg, 1977; and Sigma Phi Chapter of Notre Dame Award for the outstanding research publication from Notre Dame, 1988.
