Morris, M.D., director of the Center for Aging, at the third annual Friedman Lecture and Center for Aging Update May 6 in Anheuser-Busch Hall. Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton presented the three with medallions in recognition of the Friedmans’ recent endowment of the Harvey A. and Dorismae Friedman Distinguished Professor of Neurology, which Morris holds. The Friedmans also recently funded the new Friedman Award — given to non-physicians who have made “outstanding contributions to patient-oriented research on aging” — presented this year to Mary A. Coats, research instructor in neurology.
