Ralph Wells Buddington Jr. ’42

Bud died Sept. 9, 2001, at his home in Covington, La. After a career in medicine, teaching psychiatry, he retired more than 10 years ago.

Joining the class from Deerfield Academy, Bud majored in biology, was elected to Sigma Xi, and was a member of Quadrangle Club. After graduation he earned his MD at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons. He later joined the faculty of Tulane Medical School, becoming associate professor, and then professor of psychiatry. He also managed Tulane Psychiatric Service, at Charity Hospital, in New Orleans.

To his wife, Phyllis, to his children, Eric and Pamela, and to his two grandchildren, the class extends its profound sympathies.
