Beverly Waugh Kunkel was a professor of biology at Lafayette College from 1915-1952. He is probably most widely known as being the undergraduate mentor to two Nobel Prize winners in medicine: Philip Hench (1950 prize winner) and H. Keffer Hartline (1967 prize winner). Following his retirement from teaching, Dr. Kunkel became interested in local public health facilities. He aided in establishing a county health department. In 1967, he published a book on the history of public health work in Pennsylvania called Milestones to Health in Pennsylvania. Lafayette College dedicated its biology building in his honor.
