BiographyWilliam J. Houghton, M.D. (1906-1969), a general surgeon at Milwaukee, was a member of the Council of the State Medical Society of Wisconsin from 1961-69. Just prior to this death, he furthered the endowment established by his brother.

In establishing an award for medical students, the Houghton brothers hoped to encourage young men and women to a greater appreciation of the need for physicians to work together through their county, state and national medical organizations and to achieve a well-rounded education, including the socio-economic as well as the scientific.3
Biography"William was born first, but John arrived in less than a year, so they were inseparable, practically twins. When Bill started school a year ahead of John, both boys were so distressed at the separation that their mother kept Bill back a year so they could attend together. They were highly competitive. John was ranked number one in state amateur tennis for several years, and Bill number two. As a doubles team, they were unbeatable at the McKinley Marina courts. Bill and his future bride, Dorothy, were prom king and queen at Marquette University in 1929.

After Marquette Medical School, John took additional training in surgery at St. Joseph's Hospital in Milwaukee and the University of Pennsylvania Postgraduate School of Medicine. He chose to set up practice in Wisconsin Dells, which was a sleepy small town with barely one fudge stand at the time. During World War II, John tried numerous times to enlist, even going as far away as Chicago, but since he was the only doctor in a town, he was declared essential to his community. He did serve as a Lt. Commander in the Navy Reserves for many years. After the war and as the town grew, John's office expanded to ten doctors and a large staff, and the Dells Clinic served the population of a wide area.

Bill loved to work with his hands and developed that ability in five years of surgical apprenticeship with Fred Stratton, M.D. He continued to do a wide range of general surgery as well as general practice for thirty years. He also perfected his knack for drawing striking charcoal sketches of heads. He was a Lt. Commander in the Navy and led a medical team on a hospital ship in the South Pacific which, among other duties, treated hundreds of casualties from Saipan, the second bloodiest battle of the Pacific campaign.

Both were what today would be called "family physicians" and Bill also did surgery and obstetrics, which meant they made house calls and took phone calls around the clock. They were devoted to busy families and read the Journal of the American Medical Association, too, so their days were long and busy. They were competitive with their colleagues — always striving for excellence in diagnosis and treatment — and not infrequently they were competitive with each other, too. One's nose would be out of joint with the other, over some trivial slight, and they wouldn't speak with each other for months. But then they missed each other's familiar grousing and reminiscing so much that they set up a round of golf and dinner at the country club and were back on good terms. John hit the sweet spot on drives. Bill was surgical on chips and putts.

In all these respects, they were each complete physicians, but each not quite complete without the other. It was no accident that they thought of establishing the Houghton Award for one or several medical students who show high promise of becoming "complete physicians" themselves."3
