Dr. Thomas Wheeler receives George T. Caldwell Distinguished Service Award
Dr. Thomas Wheeler, Interim Chairman of the Dept of Pathology, received the prestigious George T. Caldwell Distinguished Service Award from the Texas Society of Pathologists in an elegant banquet during the TSP annual meeting January 27 in Fort Worth. The Caldwell award is the highest honor bestowed by the Society and recognizes Texas pathologists for distinguished service to pathology. Congratulations to Dr. Wheeler.
George T. Caldwell was a memorable pathologist whose mark was indelibly imprinted in early pathology in Texas. He inspired those ideals which he set for service to Medicine, to the community and to humanity.
Dr. Caldwell, an outstanding teacher and administrator, was born in Ohio in 1882. His interest in teaching was evident at an early age. He taught common school in Ohio immediately after graduation from high school and taught and tutored in primary schools and colleges as he slowly earned his various academic degrees. Ultimately, Dr. Caldwell received a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Ohio State University in 1910, later a master’s degree from Ohio State University in 1913, and a PhD in Pathology and his medical degree from the Rush Medical College in 1919. Among the diplomas and awards displayed on his office wall in later years, however, there always hung his Life Certificate for Common School Teaching in Ohio.
