Portrait of the Scientist
As the man who led the global campaign to eradicate smallpox, former Dean D.A. Henderson remains a larger-than-life presence at the School. His new portrait, by Elizabeth Byrd Mitchell, makes its own impressive statement. Clasping the Big Red Book—Smallpox and its Eradication, which he co-authored—Henderson, MD, MPH ’60, will gaze down on generations of faculty and students in the Wolfe Street building. The portrait was unveiled at the October 2002 meeting of the School’s Health Advisory Board.
