Col. Joel E. Goldthwait M.D. '90, president of the Robert Bent Brigham Hospital on Parker Hill, Roxbury, and formerly attached to the 26th Division of Infantry overseas, has been awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. He is one of the most prominent orthopedic surgeons of the country, and at present is on duty at the Elks' Reconstruction Hospital.
The citation is signed by Adjt. Gen. F. L. Whitley, and reads: "As a member of the medical corps he has, by his unusual foresight and organizing ability, made it possible to reclaim for duty thousands of men suffering from physical defects. He has thereby materially conserved for service a great number of men who would have otherwise been lost to the service."
