Lecture delivered by John I. Nurnberger, MD (Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Department of Psychiatry, Indiana University School of Medicine). John D. Van Nuys, MD served as the first full-time dean of the IU School of Medicine from 1947 to 1964. Under his tenure, the school doubled in size to become one of the top five medical schools in the United States. Part of a live event sponsored by the John Shaw Billings History of Medicine Society.
After leaving IU, 1970s campus prankster and graduate student Leon Varjian continued his studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he continued his fun-loving ways. While living in Madison, Varjian and his friends co-produced local public-access cable television show The Vern & Evelyn Show at the Madison Community Access Center beginning in January 1980. The show starred two live mice (named Vern and Evelyn) and a cast of supporting actors (humans and mice) in a variety of humorous storylines. Show skits satirized politics, religion, and popular culture; music was provided by local bands such as Spooner (later the band became Garbage); and interviews with special guests included the likes of Allen Ginsberg.
Collection of V&E show skits from different 1983 episodes.
