Hench, Edward C. Kendall, and Tadeus Reichstein &#8220;for their discoveries relating to the hormones of the adrenal cortex, their structure and biological effects.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Years later, Dr. Hench\u2019s son, Dr. Philip Kahler Hench, donated many of <a href=\"https:\/\/archives.library.tmc.edu\/ms-076\">his father\u2019s papers<\/a> and books to the McGovern Historical Center. Included along with those papers were phonograph records with recordings of speeches, interviews, and events featuring Dr. Hench, his colleagues, and other contemporary figures. While several of these had been transferred to CDs, they are finally getting the treatment they deserve\u2014preservation via the TMC Library\u2019s digital storage and access via the Web. Meanwhile, the dictation disks from Hench\u2019s collection are high on our list of future audio digitization projects.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Among the newly available content:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Philip Hench and Edward Kendall speaking on CBS about &#8220;compound e,\u201d May 28, 1949<\/li>\r\n<li>A speech by Dr. Hench, likely given at the Seventh International Congress of Rheumatic Diseases in New York City, June 1949<\/li>\r\n<li>The opening ceremony for the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation&#8217;s nationwide campaign, Boston, spring 1950<\/li>\r\n<li>Recordings of the Nobel Banquet in Stockholm, December 10, 1950<\/li>\r\n<li>Dr. Hench and Dr. Kendall discussing cortisone on the Bob Considine Show on WHAM-TV, June 8, 1951<\/li>\r\n<li><em>And the outlier:<\/em> a radio broadcast of the American Legion Citation for Distinguished Service presented to the Drs.

It\u2019s not every day you stumble upon an unknown archival recording of a president (since it was broadcast on the radio, it\u2019s probably not unique, but it\u2019s still pretty exciting).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We hope you\u2019ll take a listen!<\/p>\r\n<figure class=\"figure\">\r\n<figcaption class=\"figure-caption\">\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_2926\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2926\" style=\"width: 943px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"longdesc-return-2926\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2926\" src=\"http:\/\/library.tmc.edu\/mcgovern\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/MS076_b29f1_stage.jpg\" alt=\"Philip Hench and others onstage at a ceremony [MS076_b29f1_stage, MS 076 Philip S.
