Overview
Lauren Ackerman was a Hamilton College alumnus of the class of 1927 who pursued a career in medicine or academia. The 1937 Hamilton Life reports his acceptance of a teaching appointment at the University of California, where he was also to serve on the staff of the University Hospital.
Relevance to Research
The April 27, 1937 issue of Hamilton Life includes a brief alumni news item noting that “Dr. Lauren Ackerman ‘27” had accepted a position on the teaching staff of the University of California, to begin in September, with a concurrent appointment at the University Hospital.
Notes
The “Dr.” honorific in the source suggests a medical or doctoral degree. The brief alumni note gives no further detail about his specialty or department. It is unclear from this source alone whether the appointment was medical school faculty or another department. Wikipedia context identifies this person as a Hamilton alumna, but the corpus source uses male pronouns (“He will also be on the staff”).
