Dr. George Margolis (1915-1986), a Dartmouth College neuropathologist was an early researcher into Alzheimer's disease.  Beyond his work in the laboratory, Dr. Margolis was known for his commitment to liberal causes. Born in racially segregated Montgomery, W. Va., he grew up in the Jim Crow South.  A 1936 biology graduate of Johns Hopkins University, he rose to the rank of major in the Army Medical Corps where he was a doctor in Europe in WWII.  He joined the faculty at Duke in 1940 as a junior assistant and in 1955 advanced to professor of pathology.  From 1959 to 1963, he was a faculty member at the Medical School of Virginia.  In 1963 he became the Dartmouth Medical School's first minority affairs officer in 1969 and when he stepped down in 1982, he had built a solid record of recruiting scores of minority students and coaching them to graduation. In 1993, he endowed the Margolis Collection for Cross-Cultural Medicine and Minority Affairs, housed in Dartmouth's Dana Biomedical Library.
