John P. Adams
John P. Adams, MD45, had a professorship, the John P. Adams Professor in Orthopaedic Surgery, named in his honor by the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. Tapped as department chair in 1953, Adams watched in 2020 as the inaugural holder of the professorship was named. The professorship started as the John P. Adams Endowed Fund in Orthopaedic Surgery, thanks to a gift from Katharine Graham, former publisher of The Washington Post. A patient and friend of Adams, she made the gift in honor of his retirement in 1987.
