He was able to achieve the difficult task of building a department with strong investigative interests that at the same time excelled in teaching clinical medicine. He taught students and house officers more by listening and inspiration than by didactic brilliance.

Moore worried a good deal about how medical schools as a whole, and departments of medicine in particular, could operate without diminishing any of their three missions: teaching, exemplary patient care, and research. He devoted some time to this in his presidential address to the Association of American Physicians in 1964: "One of the great strengths of American medicine certainly is that re .

While a fair proportion of all research done in a clinical department should admittedly be disease oriented, not all needs to be. The increased understanding of disease that may come from the geneticist working with bacteria, the nephrologist studying cation transport across the toad bladder, the endocrinologist measuring the effect of insulin on the transport of glucose or amino acids across cell membranes, or the coagulationist working with fibrinolytic mechanisms has been demonstrated frequently enough; these activities must not be denied departments of medicine because the relationship to the patient at any given time seems remote.

"All r am trying to say is that the clinical investigator closely allie(1 to the basic sciences and the clinical investigator closely allied to the patient are both needled. Given both types of men, a department of medicine can fulfill its function, provide maximum opportunity for growth of each incliviclual, achieve excellence in all three areas of responsibility, en cl increase steaclily in scientific nature.

The issue at the outset was how iron is absorbed from the diet and how it is transported around the body. It seemed probable that transport to the tissues is via the blood plasma, but it was hard to be sure because there is 500 times more iron in red blood cell hemoglobin than in the plasma, and it is difficult to separate the plasma without slight hemolysis with release of a significant trace of this hemoglobin.

He had contributed powerfully to the development of his section on Hematologic and Hematopoietic Diseases, and because of his great experience and breadth of understanding had been able to write about one quarter of that section himself. We believe that his Introduction to Hematologic Diseases in the eleventh to thirteenth editions deserves to rank with another Cecil "classic," Fuller Albright's Introduction to the Endocrine section, which appeared in the seventh to tenth editions.

In answer to my "incredulous profanity," he puffed his pipe, chuckled quietly, and walked away.8 Carl Moore was a man who looked on medicine and his daily work in the medical center as a privilege and a joy and as a means of attaining personal rewards far higher than fame, financial gain, or stature in society.
