SAY WHAT?: What the Doctor Didn’t
Say: The Hidden Truth of Medical
Research, by Jerry Menikoff, associate
professor of medicine, and
Edward P. Richards takes a close
look at clinical trials, medical
research in which individuals take
part in an innovative treatment for a
medical problem. The book explains
the realities behind the rules governing
such trials, stating the current
system hides much of the information
patients need to decide
whether or not to take part. The
authors argue that trials can take
place while providing all necessary
information to participants.
TOPONYMS
The first residence hall built at KU, the English Colonial-style Corbin Hall opened in 1923 to house 115 women students. It was named — despite her protests — for Alberta Corbin, an 1893 alumna and professor of German who was the first university "adviser of women." In 1951 "South Corbin" was supplemented by "North Corbin"; the buildings were connected in 1958. Corbin adjoins the site of the first university building, North College, which opened in September 1866.
