GOOD-BYE, DR. WILL Dr. William C. Menninger died September 6, 1966 of
cancer. All of us practicing psychiatry today owe this man a great debt. He and his brother Karl started a clinic in 1926 and made it world famous during a period when psychiatry was considered as either a joke or an alien, a frightening matter to lay people and physicians in general. Dr. Will, more than Karl, was the man who sold psychiatry to the man on the street and has been one of the key figures in the last two decades who helped achieve the general acceptance psychiatry has today. Dr. Will spoke to the Legislatures of twenty-seven States in order to plead for better care for the mentally ill. He has a knack for creating pithy, homely phrases which made psycho-dynamic mechanism com-prehensible to lay persons and was often quoted in magazines and newspapers. He himself helped give the lie to the image of the psychiatrist as a bearded, athe-istic, eccentric. He was a devoted family man, Presby-terian, Mason, and a member of the National Execu-tive Board of Boy Scouts of America.
But Dr. Will was no mere public relations man. He was recognized as an outstanding psychiatrist by his fellows in the profession. He was President of the American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychoanalytic Association. During World War II he was Brigadier General in charge of psychiatry for the Army and received the Distinguished Service Medal and the French Legion of Honor. He wrote several books and numerous articles. He was an outstanding teacher of psychiatric residents. There was perhaps a bit of the compulsive in him which helped to make his lectures models of clarity and organization. He was a physician and a healer more than a scientific research-er, and believed that determining etiology was less im-portant than doing something to help people. He once
said "one does not have to know the cause of fire to put it out."
Dr. Will was a man who lived out the advice he of-fered to the individual in the modern world seeking mental health . . . "Find a mission in life and take it seriously." He was truly a missionary for mental health who taught the masses that mental illness was not disgraceful and could be treated like any other ailment.
—William C. Super, M.D. (Dr. Super is one of the Louisiana Psychiatrists who
trained at Menninger Foundation and who was person-ally acquainted with the late Dr. Menninger.)
