established Resident Division of the American Medical Women’s Association had been named for her.

PRESS RELEASE

Though he is always eager to find out what students learned during the course, Romrell is just as interested in
what he hears at the annual memorial service at the end of the summer. The service, which takes place in the College of Medicine auditorium, is planned by the students as a tribute to the donors.
