Everett Koop, M.D., Surgeon General of the United States, and Msgr. James T. McDonough, former director of Catholic Social Services for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The presentations took place during La Salle's annual Honors Convocation on Oct. 23 at which 602 Dean's List students and the “Health Care Professions” were saluted.

C. Everett Koop, M.D., Surgeon General of the United States was among the honorary degree recipients at La Salle College’s annual Fall Con­vocation saluting “Contributions to Health Care” on Oct. 23 in the College Union Ballroom on campus.

Dr. Koop was awarded a doctor of laws degree along with Msgr. James T. McDonough, former Director of Catholic Social Services for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. In addition, Edward J. Stemmier, M.D., Dean of the Univer­sity of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, re­ceived an honorary doctor of science degree.

La Salle College’s Brother President Patrick Ellis, F.S.C., Ph.D. presided at the convocation which honored a total of 602 Dean’s List students from the college, including 160 men and women from the Evening Division.

Dr. Koop was honored for the visible public dedication to his belief in the sacredness of every human life, his medical accomplishments, and Christian idealism.

“A school can do its students no greater favor than to introduce them to heroes,” said La Salle’s President. “As our beloved country risks a slide into the twilight of totalitarian regimes in its disregard for unborn life, for infants, and for the aged infirm — indeed could become the sparta of modern times, your stand on principle can be most temperately described as heroic.”

Described as “a man whose apostolate has brought hope, as well as corporal and spiritual welfare to thousands of less fortunate of our neighbors,” Msgr. McDonough was honored for dedicating his life for all who have sought the assistance of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia by reason of age, illness, handicap, or refugee status.

Joseph F. Burke, F.S.C., Ph.D., associate pro­fessor of psychology, is serving as president of the Faculty Senate in 1983-84.

“For sixteen years you have labored unob­trusively and competently at the head of a multi­million dollar service, multiplying many times over the impact of individual good will,” added Brother Ellis while presenting Msgr. McDonough with his honorary degree.

Dr. Stemmier was honored for his distinguished academic, medical, administrative and com­munity achievements.“ In the context of our health-care convocation, you are the quintessential alumnus,” said Presi­dent Ellis. “What more can an institution of higher education ask of its graduates than to attain the highest eminence in his or her field, and to do it locally, where your influence and loyalty can do us the most good ..Dr. Koop was sponsored by Brother F. Chris­topher, F.S.C., Ph.D., Consultant, Foreign Stu­dent Credentials at La Salle. Msgr. McDonough’s sponsor was Brother Luke Maher, F.S.C., Ed.M., a member of the college’s Board of Trustees, while Dr. Stemmler’s sponsor was Brother Richard Hawley, F.S.C., Chairman of the col­lege’s Biology Department.

Dr. Koop, a world-famous pediatric surgeon, was nominated by President Reagan to be Sur­geon General of the U.S. Public Health Service in September, 1981. He had been deputy assis­tant secretary for health in the Department of Health and Human Services.A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Dr. Koop previously was surgeon-in-chief of Children’s Hospital, in Philadelphia, and professor of pediatric surgery and pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania

School of Medicine. A 1937 graduate of Dartmouth College, he earned his M.D. degree from Cornell Medical College in 1941.

The author of more than 170 articles and books on the practice of medicine, Dr. Koop has received numerous honors including the Le­gion of Honor by France. He has been inducted into the Royal College of Surgeons, England, and received the highest award of the Do­minican Republic for his achievement in sepa­rating the conjoined Dominican twins.

Msgr. McDonough served as Director of Catho­lic Social Services, the largest voluntary sec­tarian agency in Pennsylvania, from 1967 until his appointment as pastor of St. Stanislaus Church in Lansdale, last June.

A native of Philadelphia and a graduate of St. Charles Seminary, in Overbrook, Msgr. McDonough has been President of the Catholic Health Association of the United States, a mem­ber of the Mayor’s Commission on Health, and Vice President of the National Conference of Catholic Charities.

Dr. Stemmler’s entire professional career has been at the University of Pennsylvania since he graduated first in his class and received his M.D. degree there in 1960. A specialist in pulmonary diseases, he has held a number of medical and administrative posts at the University of Penn­sylvania Medical Center.
