COL. w. |. KELLER
Will BE H0N0RED
Proposal Made to Name Walter
Reed Surgeon Special
Consultant.

In recognition of the outstanding
service and qualifications of Col. Will
liam L. Keller, on duty at Walter
Reed Hospital, it has been proposed
to designate him, upon his retirement
from active service, as consultant in
surgery at the Army Medical Center,
with full active-duty pay and allow
ances of the grade held by him at the
time of his retirement. Col. Keller
will be 81 years of age on March "a.
He was appointed a contract surgeon
in the Army on May 10, 1900, and
was commissioned in the Medical
Corps of the Regular Army on June
2, 1902.
Col. Keller has declined appoint
ment on two different occasions that
would have given him general-officer
rank. His first opportunity for gen.
eral-offlcer appointment came during
the Hoover administration, when he
declined the appointment as surgeon
general of the Army. During the
Summer of 1888 he declined the ap-
pointment as assistant surgeon gen.
eral with the rank of brigadier gen.
eral to fill vacancy then about to
occur. He declined because the DO
sitions were administrative. His chief
interest is in the actual practice of
his profession in the speciality of
general surgery.
