"8 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, DIPLOMAT, DOGTOR WIN G. U. HONORS Dr. Leonide Pitamic and Dr. | William H. Wilmer to Get Awards. A foreign diplomat and scholar, Dr. YLeonide Pitamic, Minister of Yugoslavia, | and a distinguished American medical scientist, Dr. William Holland Wilmer, formerly of Washington, now head of | the Wilmer Institute of Johns Hopkins Hospital, are to receive high academic honors from Georgetown University next Saturday evening at its annual Founders’ day celebration. The conferring of honors in philos- ophy and science, respectively, on these two men, it was believed by Dr. Cole- man Nevils, S. J. president, will be gratifying to all Georgetown alumni, | for each has rendered conspicuous service to the university. Dr. Wilmer was professor of ophthal- mology for 19 vears on the faculty of the Georgetown School of Medicine be- fore he gave up his residence and prac- tice of nearly 40 years in the National Capital. Georgetown University only partially acknowledged its indedtedness to his able service and advisory co- operation, President Nevils felt, by making him an honorary doctor of laws in 1919, Lectured at School. ‘The Minister of Yugoslavia, on the other hand, has been in close relations to the School of Foreign Service dur- ing the four years he has been sta- tioned in Washington. His lectures on | “Notions of the State.” delivered at | the school. won him wide recognition in diplomatic and international legal circles. | The honors of the Camillus Mazzella Academy of Philosophy will be be- stowed upon Dr. Pitamic. Similar| honors of the Angelo Secchi Academy | of Science will be received by Dr. Wil- | mer. These will be conferred at a ceremony in Gaston Hall at 8:30 o'clock. Associates of both men and prominent alumni have been mvited Immediately after the ceremony the president and directors of the university | will receive in the Carroll parlor in| honor of the Minister and Dr. and | Mrs Wilmer. The two honorary academies are among the six proclaimed at George- | town by a decree in 1929 in commemo- ration of Founders' day. Honors in the other four academies, all named | after prominent teachers and alumni, | were conferred on succeeding occasions. | Practiced Here Many Years. Dr. Wilmer, who has gained inter- national fame as an ophthalmologist, practiced in Washington from 1889 to 1925, when he left to head the espe- cially endowed institute which bears his name at Johns Hopkins Hospital. ‘There he has carried on his work in ophthalmology. His services on the Georgetown faculty, where he demon- strated great ability as a teacher, be- gan in 1906. He also was on the staff | of the Episcopal Eve, Ear and Throat | Hospital in Washington and is a trustee of the National Cathedral Foundation. He was educated at the Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Va., re- ceived his medical degree from the University of Virginia and studied at New York Polyclinic and European | hospitals. Princeton made him a doc- tor of science in 1926. An_ex-presi- | dent of the American Ophthalmological | Society, Dr. Wilmer belongs to many of the leading scientific groups in the United States and Europe. | The American Government awarded him the Distinguished Service and France admitted him to the Legion of Honor for medical services rendered with the A. E. F. during the war. | Honored by Pope. Dr. Pitamic. a Slovene, is one of the most accomplished scholars among the diplomats in Washington. He was edu- cated at the celebrated school for nobles in Vienna, the Teresianum, founded by the Empress of Austria, Maria Theresa. He later obtained his philosophy degree from the University of Vienna. Upon the founding of a university in Ljubl- | jana, the capital of his native Slovenia, in 1919, he became professor of inter- | national and constitutional law. Later | he was made rector of the university. | Two vears ago Pope Pius XI honored | Dr. Pitamic by making him a knight commander of the Order of St. Gregory | the Great. This was for recovering a precious relic stolen from a cathedral in Yugoslavia, where it had been treas- | wred for 500 years. Dr. Pitamic finally traced it to this country. He was an expert at the Paris Peace .Conference, a delegate in 1927 to the League of Nations and was made a member of the Permanent Court of itration at The Hague. In 1929 h te his famous work on “The State,” #upplementing this by his lectures at seorgetown and has just recently pub- ,éfh(‘fl in English a treatise on “The tate.” DRYS PLAN TO TEST BEER ACT IN COURTS' gnjunction to Be Sought in April,l Dr. Clarence True Wilson Declares.
