Dr. Michael J. Hogan (1959-1975) left private practice as a general surgeon in 1938 to enter the residency program in ophthalmology at UCSF. Afer further training at the Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary and Columbia Presbyterian in N.Y., he served in the Navy during World War II. In 1946 he joined the faculty in the Ophthalmology Department and became director of the Proctor Foundation. He rapidly established an international reputation in ocular pathology, uveitis, and histology. His books Ophthalmic Pathology (with Dr. Lorenz E. Zimmerman) and Histology of the Human Eye (with Dr. Jorge Alvarado and Joan Weddell) remain classics. He served 17 years as Chairman of Ophthalmology. His hobbies were gardening, bird watching, and swimming everyday in his backyard pool. He is remembered as "Uncle Mike" by all who knew him.
