Angelo Notides, professor of environmental medicine and of biophysics, on November 10. He was internationally recognized for his studies of the estrogen receptor, the protein responsible for mediating the effects of estrogens on sexual development and function.

Otto Thaler '49M (MD), '55M (Res), professor of psychiatry, on October 27 in Rochester.

Memorial contributions may be sent to the Otto F. Thaler Teaching Fellowship, Department of Psychiatry, Box PSYCH, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, 601 Elmwood Ave., Rochester, NY 14642.

Correction

In reporting the death of Robert Guiffrida '49, '50 (Mas) in the last issue, we neglected to note his years on the Rochester faculty. Giuffrida served as an instructor and then an assistant professor of German from 1957 until 1962.
