The William D. Stubenbord Visiting Professorships were established in 1968 by a gift from the Louis Calder Foundation "in memory of Louis Calder Sr. and Louis Calder Jr., and in recognition of the outstanding professional service and long friendship of Dr. William D. Stubenbord, '31, for them and members of their families." The departments of the Medical College are, in rotation, host to visiting scholars.
