1929 Virgil T. DeVault, MD 5/25/00

Dr. DeVault died May 25 in Washington, D.C. Dr. DeVault's generosity to the IU School of Medicine is well known. He established an endowed chair in the Department of Otolaryngology in honor of his wife Arilla Spence DeVault as well as the Devault Otologic Research Laboratory at Riley Hospital for Children.

The 98-year-old physician also donated $1.5 million to the construction of the Indiana University Alumni Center which was named in his honor. Dr. DeVault's distinguished career took him to more than 200 diplomatic posts around the world - in 1950, he set up a worldwide medical care system under the auspices of the U.S. Department of State.
