A dozen students follow in families’ footsteps
Among the Class of 2015’s new matriculants are 12 whose families already have alumni ties to the medical school.
Four Generations
Gaylord W. Ray, M’76, H’79 (right), with his son Christopher, who was recently elected president of the Class of 2015, is holding the 1897 diploma from the University College of Medicine that was awarded to his grandfather A. Chambers Ray. Gaylord Ray’s late father, Ed Ray, is also connected to the medical school: he completed his housestaff training in 1944 and went on to be named the founding chair of pulmonology.
