Dr. H. Warner Kloepfer, specialist in human genetics, will be on the campus
of Methodist College on October 2 0 & 2 1 a s a Danforth Visiting Lecturer.
On Thursday evening, October 21, at 8 o'clock in the Student Union, he will
give a lecture on "Radiation and Human Genetics." This will be the second
program in the current Concert-Lecture series sponsored by the college and open
to the public without charge.
Dr. Kloepfer 1 s field of research ranges broadly throughout most phases of
human genetics, with particular emphasis on the role of genes in the transmission
of or susceptibility to diseases .
Genetic Research projects which Dr. Kloepfer has undertaken include studies
on hereditary deafness and microcephaly (mental retardation as a result of
abnormally small heads), as well as the genetic aspects of susceptibility to
muscular distrophy, polio, cancer, and cardiovascular disease.
A native of Ohio, Dr. Kloepfer received B.S. and M.A. degrees from Ohio
University, and A.B. from Muskingum College, and was awarded his doctorate
by Ohio State University in 1942.
Prior to joining the Tulane University School of Medicine faculty in 1952 as
associate professor of anatomy (specializing in human genetics), Dr. Kloepfer
served as assistant in zoology at Ohio State University, professor of zoology at
Dakota Wesleyan University, chairman of the Division of Sciences and dean of men
at the College of Emporia, and as academic dean and professor of biology at the
College of the Ozarks.

The author of many articles in professional journals in the field of genetics,
Dr. Kloepfer has served on the commission of neurogenetics of the World Federation
of Neurology, a post to which he was elected at the founding meeting of the international organization in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1961. He participated in the
First International Symposium on Medical Genetics at Rome in 1953, the First
International Congress on Human Genetics at Copenhagen in 1956, the Second
International Conference on Human Genetics at Rome in 1961, and the Third IBM
Medical Symposium at Endicott, New York, in 1961. He has also been treasurer
of the American Society of Human Genetics .
In September 1953, after presenting two papers at meetings of the Eleventh
International Congress of Genetics in The Hague, Holland, Dr. Kloepfer made a
ten-day tour of Socialist countries. In the Soviet Union he attempted to learn
about current progress in human genetics, and to see how people live by visiting
in homes picked at random. He visited Leningrad, Moscow, Prague, and a
collective farm near Prague .
While here at Methodist College, Dr. Kloepfer will discuss both the adverse
and optimistic trends in the field of genetics today. At a student convocation
at 11:30 a . m , October 20, he will speak on "Genetics in the Service of Man."
In two informal or class meetings with students and faculty he will discuss
"New Horizons in Medical Genetics ' and "Should Human Genes be Synthetized
Artificially?"
On the one hand, Dr. Kloepfer will explore intensively the role of fallout
and the genetic damage which is occurring because of radiation effects. Pointing

out that while damage from fallout is small, he warns that "it is present, and it
is constantly adding to the accumulation of deleterious, mutant genes. :1
On the other hand, more optimistically, Dr. Kloepfer expects great breakthroughs in genetic research, which he feels will more than offset the damaging
effects of increased radiation.
Methodist College is one of fourteen colleges and universities throughout
the nation included in Dr. Kloepfer 1 s lecture tour.

out that while damage from fallout is small, he warns that "it is present, and it
is constantly adding to the accumulation of deleterious, mutant genes. ;1
On the other hand, more optimistically, Dr. Kloepfer expects great breakthroughs in genetic research, which he feels will more than offset the damaging
effects of increased radiation.
Methodist College is one of fourteen colleges and universities throughout
the nation included in Dr. Kloepfer1 s lecture tour.
