Milo Hellman (March 26,

All rights reserved. Design by w3layouts. Born in Jassay, Romania, on March 26, , he began, in his early youth, the study of the flute. Upon coming to this country at the age of 16, he became a member of the original Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra under the direction of the late Victor Herbert. As a member of that famous orchestra, he learned that it was essential to consider every musical composition as a whole, and to study each theme or passage as a part of the whole.

This far-reaching training was later to play an important part in his professional studies. I do not know why Hellman decided to adopt a professional career, instead of becoming a professional musician. With the money he was able to save, he completed his high school education at the New York Preparatory School, and then matriculated at the Dental School of the University of Pennsylvania, graduating with honors in As an undergraduate, he belonged to the James Truman honor society, and the Epsilon chapter of Delta Sigma Delta fraternity.

In , his alma mater conferred upon him the degree of doctor of sciences. The English historian, Gibbon, once wrote: "Every person has two educations--one he receives from others, and one more important which he gives himself. Being much older than most of his classmates and, in addition, with the help of his "magic flute," he came to know Dr.

Kirk more intimately than the general run of students. He was fond of relating the many pleasant evenings spent with the Dean and Mrs. No one who knew Dr. Kirk ever came away from a session with him without feeling uplifted, encouraged, and stimulated to better efforts and further study.
