THE ORTON SOCIETY SAMUEL T. ORTON AWARD The first SAMUEL T. ORTON AWARD was presented at the Seventeenth Annual Meeting of The Orton Society in New York on October 28, 966, by Mrs. Samuel T. Orton, President Emerita of the Society, to LAURETTA BENDER, M.D. Introduction and Citation Dr. Bender (Mrs. Paul Schilder) spent her childhood on the West Coast and attended Leland Stanford University and the University of Chicago from which she obtained a B.S. degree and an M.A. in pathology. She transferred to the Medical School of the State University of Iowa in 1923 as a third-year student with an assistantship in neuropathology under Dr. Samuel T. Orton, then professor of psychiatry and director of the Iowa State Psychopathic Hospital. During the next three years she worked closely with Dr. Orton in teaching and research. It was during this period that he was expanding the hospital's services to the State through an experimental mobile mental hygiene clinic which led him to "M.P.," the "word-blind" youth whose failure to acquire reading was the challenge which started Dr. Orton on the path of research in specific language disabilities in children, which he was to follow for many, many years.
