JAMA, Jan 1966; 195: 46: William Lovelace Fellowship Established. A William Randolph Lovelace Fellowship in Aerospace Medicine has been established by the Aerospace Medical Association to honor the memory of the prominent space medicine official who was killed recently in a plane crash. William Randolph Lovelace, II, MD, and his wife died Dec 12, 1965, when an airplane he had chartered crashed near Aspen, Colo. He was 57 years old. Dr. Lovelace was director of space medicine in the Manned Space Flight Division of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and president of the Lovelace Foundation for Medical Education and Research -- an Albuquerque, NM, institution with continuing interest in biological and medical problems associated with the air-nuclear space age. The physician headed a section of surgery in the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn, from 1941 to 1946. In 1940, with the late Walter M. Boothby, MD, and Arthur H. Bulbulian, MD, both of the Mayo Clinic, he received an award for his participation in studies which led to development of an oxygen mask for use by pilots. An exhibit on "Physiologic Problems in Aviation Medicine," which Dr. Lovelace prepared with Dr. Boothby, Dr. Bulbulian, and C. W. Mayo, MD, won a bronze medal in 1941 at the Annual Convention of the American Medical Association. Dr. Lovelace was vice-chairman in 1950 of the AMA's Session on Military Medicine and Surgery. In 1957-1959 he was a member of the Association's Committee of Aviation Medicine; in 1959 he received an AMA aerospace honor citation. Dr. Lovelace was president in 1942-1943 of the Aerospace Medical Association, a member of its executive council from 1959 to 1960, and an active member of its Space Medicine Branch. [includes photo]
