He was also a pioneer investigator in the field of industrial dust diseases, particularly asbestosis, and played a leading part in the practical control of that hazard, as well as publishing the first full description of kaolinosis and reporting the first recorded case of cancer of the lung associated with asbestosis. In 1934 he was selected American Editor of Green's Manual of Pathology, publa,'s.hed in England (Balliere, Tindall and Cox) and in America (Wm. Wood and Company). In addition to h is published writings, at different times he was a member of the Editorial Board of the American Journal of Tropical Medicine, the American Journal of Clinical Pathology and the Journal of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition. From 1937 he has been listed in Who's Who in America, American Men of Science ti and various other science and educational biographical publications. In 1944, immediately following his appointment as head of the Medical College of the State of South Carolina, Dr. Lynch launched a planned program for,progressive advancement of the institution in the present-day conception of a medical educational,_research and service center which placed it in the vanguard of:the use of the term Medical Center and of an era of medical school construc- tion, renovation, expansion and administrative as well as teaching reorganization throughout the country.

- 5 - This program called for reorganization and increase of the faculty, revision of the curricula of the several schools in accord with progressively changing concepts in medical, pharmacy and nurs- ing education, and at least doubling the opportunity for student enrollment in all categories. it also called for the establishment of a school of dentistry, for which authorizing legislation was enacted in 1953, as well as a section of graduate study in the basic medical sciences leading to graduate degrees, and reorgan- ization of the course in medical technology in cooperation with academic institutions and in accord with certifying agencies. It called for appropriate enlargement of Medical Center grounds, construction of adequate physical facilities for teaching, research and clinical service, as well as for student housing and activities, and for replacement of structures so outmoded that they could not be remodeled for continued use, and renovation of such as could be satisfactorily remodeled. It called for revision of relations with affiliated and associated institutions located in the Medical Center area, modernizatiaMn of the community hospital and clinic facilities, and for attracting into the area such other establishments as would be fitting to a medical center complex as conceived for development. It anticipated large capital financing on the part of af- filiated institutions as well as the Medical College, and for

From his resear'che's 'he "has published more "tha'n one hundred and .. eighteen papers in medical science and educational periodicals. While these publications range over a wide field, there were three categories of major scientific accomplishment, aside from his lifetime study of cancer and participation in numerous programs on that s.ubject. In proto: oolcagy he is credited with the first in vitro cul- turing of a parasite flagellate, Trichomonas hominis. His monograph on Protozoan Parasitism of the Alimentary Tract was published in 1930 (The Macmillan Company). He was one of the first to recognize the occurrences of Granuloma Inquinale in this country and played a major role in the control of that scourge. For his scientific exhibit on the subject
