Interim Director of Emory's Emeritus College John Bugge interviews Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics and Biochemistry Louis J. "Skip" Elsas about both his family's impact on the history of Atlanta since the Civil War and Dr. Elsas's own foundational roles in creating the field of medical genetics at Emory and applying its findings through pediatric testing in Georgia, the U.S., and the world (April 17, 2012).

The Emeritus College Living History Project seeks to capture the institutional history preserved in the minds and memories of Emory faculty whose remarkable achievements have helped make the University what it is today.
