War- thin, director of the pathological laboratories, recounted some of his researches on Spirochaeta Pal-, lida yesterday afternoon in Natural1 Science auditorium. John Alexander, assistant prd- fessor of suirgery was named as the recipient of next year's Henry Russel award for his contribu- tions to the field of thoracic sur- gery, especially concerning tuber- culosis. Emoluments of $250 were given both Professor Warthin and Dr. Alexander. Has Worked Long Dr. Warthin, whose work on spirochaeta has progressed for more than 35 years and has placed him among the authorities in this field, narrated the results of his I laboratory researcheson the prob- lem of proving the causative action of, spirochaeta on syphilis by per- ecting a method of islating the micro-organism for purposes of ex- amination. Doctors handling pa- tients with all the characteristics.a of possessing this disease were in- ale definitely to diagnose the eases beca'k e of their inability to locate the spirochaeta. Proessor Warthin's first accom--, plishment was to devise- a meansr of isolatink the'spirochaeta throughl the use of a powerful, dark-field microscope., Following this, he im-t proved the process of staining the' spirochaeta, which closely resembleF slides containing sections of the drawn-out wire springs. At first the process of staining took several days, but through successive exper- iments, Dr. Warthin and his assist- ant are now able to complete the staining within three hours. Sufferers Widespread As a result of these two principal contributions, between 75 and 80 per cent of the patients in clinics thought to be syphilitic are found to be stiffering from the effects of spirochacta pallida. Dr. Alexander's work in tuber- cular surgery has been extensive in receit years, the chief results of which have been publshed in hist book, "The Surgery of Pulmonary Tuberculosis." Following his grad- uation from the University of Pennsylvania in 1916, he took certi- ficates from the universities oft Lyons and Paris. He served during the war in the medical corps, first c at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, and later in France with Base Hospitalr 115 at Vichy. At the close of the war he returned to the Universityf of Pennsylvania medical school asn assistant instructor i surgery. He4 came to Michigan in 1920 as in- structor dn surgery. Only Faculty Prizes , TIhe Henry Russel prizes are the only annual recognition the Uni- f versity accords its faculty. Estab- lished in '1920 by a bequest of $10,000 from 'the estate of Mr. Rus-i sel, who was a Detroit alumnus, the fund was allowed to lie idle forl several years. The annual income of $500 is divided into the equal. prizes, one to be given to a seniorf member of the faculty of full pro-i fessorial rank, chosen by a com- inittee of the Research club on thet basis of his original contributions to an important field; the other emolument is given to a youngerX man of the faculty who is designat-t ed by a committee of the Univer-t sity Senate because of his re-t searches. Henry Russel lecturers of pre-1 vious years are Prof. Moses Gom-c berg, of the department of chemis- try, Prof. Henry A.
