List Of Trainees
The "Tree Lineage"
In 1969 an effort was made to identify and draw up a "Tree of Lineage" for the Academy showing the names of all men trained by Dr. Lyons or by men whom he trained. The succession has been fo large since that time that any similar effort to draft a representation has proven to be quite impossible. Instead, we can identify the original Founders and others trained by Dr. Lyons and then identify subsequent program directors and attempt an approximate list of those men whom they in turn have trained. The complete list numbers around 500!
