About the Latta Lecture
The Latta Lecture is named after the late John S. Latta, Ph.D. Dr. Latta taught courses in embryology and histology at UNMC from 1921 until 1963. He was chairman of the department of anatomy from 1940 to 1960, when he retired. Dr. Latta remained active for three more years and then was given an appointment at the Eppley Institute for Research in Cancer and Allied Diseases where he continued his work until 1968. As the number of years of teaching increased and number of students multiplied, Dr. Latta became one of the most admired and respected faculty members of the College. He passed away in1989 at the age of 94.
The John S. Latta Lectureship was established by the College of Medicine Alumni Association (now Alumni Council) in 1980 to commemorate his dedicated service to the College of Medicine. Dr. Latta’s son, Rex Latta, M.D. is a 1957 graduate from the College of Medicine and resides in Omaha.
