Abstract
DR. ALEXANDER S. WIENER, of New York University, has been awarded the Alvarenga Prize for 1945 of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, "in recognition of his important work upon the various types of Rh factors and on their genetic transmission". Dr. Wiener will give the Alvarenga Lecture before the College of Physicians of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia County Medical Society on October 3, 1945, on "Rh Blood Factors in Clinical Medicine". This Prize was established by the will of Pedro Francisco daCosta Alvarenga of Lisbon, Portugal, an associate fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, "to be awarded annually by the College of Physicians on each anniversary of the death of the testator, July 14, 1883". The College usually makes this award for outstanding published work, and invites the recipient to deliver an Alvarenga Lecture before the College.
