Oesophagogastric Surgery by The Library hosted a commemorative event on November 12, 2013 celebrating the legacy of Saul R. Korey, MD, the founding Chair of the Department of 
Neurology at Einstein, who died of cancer in 1963, at the age of 45. The event noted Dr. Korey’s vision of multidisciplinary basic research and clinical medicine in human disease. Colleagues and trainees of Dr. Korey were in attendance, Drs. Isabelle Rapin, William Norton, Robert Ledeen, Stanley Samuels, Herbert Vaughan, Lewis Rowland and Oliver Sacks, to name a few. Drs. Robert Terry, Irving London, Cedric Raine and Kuniko Suzuki attended virtually via web conferencing from as far away as Japan. Also in attendance were Dr. Mark F. Mehler, current Chairman of Neurology and Dr. Solomon L. Moshe, the first recipient of the Saul R. Korey Award for Translational Medicine and Science and DominicK P. Purpura, MD, Professor Emeritus of Neuroscience and former Dean of the medical school. The event was streamed live from the Library for others who could not attend. Mrs. Doris Korey and daughter, Cathie Korey, MD, attended the event at Einstein.
Peter Dama, Director of the Graphic Arts Center, created a fabulous 6-panel mural display of photographs and text illustrating Dr. Korey’s life and career. The mural was recently transferred to grace the halls of the Saul R. Korey Department of Neurology on the 2nd floor in the Kennedy Center. Tatyana Harris, Graphic Designer, compiled a wonderful exhibit in the Library glass display cases of photographs and articles by physicians and scientists who worked alongside Dr. Korey or whose work was a result of his groundwork and teaching, notably Tay-Sachs and Alzheimer's diseases. The display also includes Dr. Korey’s microscope, Dr. Purpura’s camera lucida ink drawings of damaged neurons and Dr. Terry’s micrograph of Tay-Sachs neurons which was displayed in 1967 at the MoMA in NYC. This exhibit will be on display outside the Library through the end of December.
Librarians actively participated in planning the event and identified monographs and articles for the exhibit. Many of the photographs and documents displayed in the exhibit and 6-panel mural came from the Library’s Archives. Karen Gardner and Eduardo Ayala from the Communications and Public affairs Department put the different pieces together and coordinated individual contributions, interviews and testimonials for a fantastic event. Nearly 75 people attended the event. The social and intellectual energy and camaraderie of the participants was a fitting tribute to the vision and character of Saul R. Korey, MD .
