(1895-1987) who was Professor (1932) of Physiology at the New York State College of Veterinary Medicine from 1932 to 1960. Soon after coming to Cornell, "he began to develop an innovative method of teaching physiology. It was called the lecture-demonstration method....." and "the popularity of his course finally reached the point where the numbers were overwhelming." Dr. Dukes "established himself as a distinguished physiologist and gave lecture demonstrations in this country and abroad." On his retirement, Dean William A. Hagan noted, "I should like to say now that I am very pleased at the outstanding record you are leaving. You certainly built a department that put the Veterinary College on the map." Professor Dukes also authored his famous textbook, "The Physiology of Domestic Animals", which had numerous editions over the years. In his honor, the Dr. H. H. Dukes Prize in Experimental Physiology is awarded annually to a veterinary student demonstrating evidence of scholarship in the field of Physiology.

Abstract: Memorial Statement for Professor Louis Lindo Nangeroni, D.V.M., M.S. (1918-1989) who was Professor (1952-1977) of Physiology at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. During his 25 years on the faculty, "he taught animal physiology, advanced experimental physiology and conducted research in electro anesthesia and bioassay methodology."

Dr. French "dedicated himself to teaching Clinical Pathology to veterinary students, interns and residents, assisting with collaborative research projects, and performing professional diagnostic services." As an outstanding clinical pathologist and diagnostician, "he spent many hours at the microscope, diagnosing diseases in sick animals and helping veterinarians make crucial decisions regarding patient care." An excellent teacher, Dr. French "readily embraced new teaching methods and was one of the first clinical pathologists in the country to use the Web for clinical pathology education."

Cummings, D.V.M., M.S., Ph.D. (1936-1996) who was Assistant Professor (1967), Associate Professor (1971), Professor (1977), and James Law Professor of Anatomy for a total of 29 years at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. He was also Secretary of the College (1995-1996). His "greatest contribution to the College of Veterinary Medicine was as a teacher", especially in teaching microscopic anatomy to first year students. "Scientists around the world looked to John as a valuable source of information on the light microscopic and ultrastructural anatomy of domestic animals." Professor Cummings' research focused on identifying neurological disorders of domestic animals that were models for similar human disorders, such as peripheral neuropathies, storage diseases due to inherited enzyme deficiencies, central nervous system axonopathies, and motor neuron diseases, including polyradiculoneuritis (Coonhound paralysis) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease.
