TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN CLINICAL AND CLIMATOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION, VOL. 126, 2015

THE MARY ALLEN ENGLE AWARD This award is given each year at the annual business meeting to “. . . the member presenting a paper the year before, who submits a completed manuscript and returns the edited transcribed version most promptly and efficiently.” The award was conceived in 1999 by its namesake, who served the Association as Recorder from 1993 to 2000. Dr. Engle created the award (and endowed it with a bottle of vintage wine) to recognize the diligence of its recipient and also to encourage presenters in general to complete their manuscripts as quickly as possible so that the Transactions might be published within six months of the annual meeting. Dr. L. David Hillis, the award’s first recipient, submitted a manuscript entitled “Infarct Artery Patency and Survival Following Myocardial Infarction.” Dr. Engle trained at Johns Hopkins during World War II, where Helen Brook Taussig and Alfred Blalock were then developing their monumental “blue baby” operation. They became lifelong mentors and friends, and together with Dr. Engle helped establish Pediatric Cardiology as a separate discipline. Before her career ended, Dr. Engle published over 400 papers, invited chapters, editorials and edited books, helped innumerable children with congenital heart disease, trained a generation of pediatric cardiologists and was the first holder of an endowed Professorship of Pediatric Cardiology at Cornell University. She served as president of ACCA in 2004 and died in 2008 at the age of 86.
