                       Tuesday, February 3, 2004

  Mr. DEUTSCH. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to commemorate the 
contributions of Dr. Morton Terry of Broward County, Florida. Dr. Terry 
was a dedicated teacher, mentor, and physician, and he leaves us with a 
wonderful legacy of service to the South Florida community.
  Dr. Terry, a native of Utica, New York, moved to Florida after 
earning his medical degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic 
Medicine in 1945. Dr. Terry practiced medicine for 32 years in Miami 
before he founded the Southeastern College of Osteopathic Medicine. He 
served as Chancellor of the University through its merger with Nova 
University, and remained active on the campus until the day he died. 
Dr. Terry will be fondly remembered by all at Nova Southeastern 
University. Despite his many obligations at Nova Southeastern 
University, Dr. Terry found time to be active in a number of different 
professional and civic organizations. He was a lifetime member of the 
American Osteopathic Association, served as President of the Florida 
Osteopathic Medical Association, and he was also an honorary lifetime 
member of the Miami-Dade County Osteopathic Medical Association. Dr. 
Terry was committed to enriching and improving South Florida. To 
further this end, he held leadership positions with almost 20 different 
organizations including the United Way, American Cancer Society, and 
Boys Town of South Florida.
  Dr. Terry is survived by his wife, one son, and one daughter. He will 
missed by both the medical community and the South Florida community.
