Dr. Kling is 37 years of age, a graduate of the University of Vienna, 1912, when he received the Bachelor of Art degree, and the University of Vienna in 1916, when he received his degree of Doctor of Medicine. He served as a member of the house staff of the Vienna General Hospital from 1918 to 1920 and during the years 1920 to 1923 he was the research assistant of the hospital. He also did post-graduate medical research work in Spinnerin am Kreuz Hospital.

Under the Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Brown Orthopedic Research Fellowship, Dr. Kling will begin his research at the Hospital for Joint Diseases on fluids of the joints of the body. On this subject he has already published several papers as a result of his research, one of the papers being “Fat in Traumatic Effusions of the Knee Joint.” He has three other papers which were recently accepted for publication on allied research subjects. His research work will be conducted under Dr. Samuel Kleinberg and Dr. Harry Finkelstein, attending orthopedic surgeons at the hospital, and Dr. Henry L. Jaffe, director of laboratories at the Hospital for Joint Diseases.
The Fellowship is an award of $2,400 for one year. The award was made by the Fellowship Committee named by Mr. Brown and consisting of Mr. Straus, chairman of the board of directors of the hospital; Max Wilner, chairman of the Medical Board of Directors; Dr. Harry Finkelstein, chairman of the Medical Advisory Committee, and Dr. J. J. Golub, director of the hospital. Dr. Kling’s name was selected after careful consideration of more than two scores of applications from the entire country.
