August 31, 2010 — The UNC Health Sciences Library plans to rename its Historical Collections Reading Room as \u201cThe Benson Reid Wilcox Historical Collections Reading Room\u201d in recognition of Dr. Benson Wilcox.<\/p>\n

\n

Dr. Wilcox, a heart surgeon and UNC School of Medicine graduate, served 29 years as chief of the UNC Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery. He died May 11, 2010, after a courageous battle with brain cancer. He had a longtime interest in medical history and rare books, and supported the Health Sciences Library by donating a large collection of rare medical books and supporting the library financially. He had been an active member of the library\u2019s Board of Visitors since 1995.<\/p>\n

The renaming was approved by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) Board of Trustees during their July 22, 2010 meeting.<\/p>\n
