Chester C. Winter, MD, was the professor and director of Ohio State's Division of Urology in 1960. He was appointed the Louis Levy Professor of Urology in 1975. He served as chief of the Division of Urology until 1978. Dr. Winter knew firsthand the importance of endowed funds to support key areas of the department.
"It was with gratitude to The Ohio State University and its College of Medicine that I established two endowments in 1985: the Annual Visiting Professorship in Urology (Fund #607739) and the Cary Winter Library for Urology (Fund #607738). During the past two decades, it has given me immense pleasure to meet some of the distinguished visiting professors and witness their contributions to the education of residents in urology at the University."
In 1997, a lecture series was initiated in his name. The distinguished visiting professors are listed below.
