Scope and content

J.W.T. Spinks, University President, making presentation of an honourary Doctor of Laws degree to Alfred Blalock at 52nd annual convocation held in Physical Education gymnasium.

Bio/Historical Note: Alfred Blalock (1899-1964) was an American surgeon most noted for his work on the medical condition of shock as well as Tetralogy of Fallot— commonly known as Blue baby syndrome. He created, with assistance from his research and laboratory assistant Vivien Thomas and pediatric cardiologist Helen Taussig, the Blalock-Thomas-Taussig Shunt, a surgical procedure to relieve the cyanosis from Tetralogy of Fallot. This operation ushered in the modern era of cardiac surgery.
