Citations Accompanying Avery Medals at Namru II Dinner, Gridiron Club--November 2, 1944
Description:
Although he worked as a member emeritus for several more years, Avery's official retirement from the Rockefeller Institute came in 1944. His retirement dinner, held in November of that year, was also a send-off for many of his fellow Rockefeller researchers that would soon be leaving for the South Pacific to aid the U.S. war effort. Reflecting the revelry and esprit de corps that often mark such occasions, his colleagues presented Avery with several of these "awards" and "citations."
