During his time at Yale University, Lewis was part of a group known as the “Legends of Yale” which includes Walter Longo, professor of surgery at Yale University; Steve Leach, Paul K. Neumann Professor in Pancreatic Cancer at Johns Hopkins Medical School; Jim Goldenring, vice chairman for research at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and Margrét Oddsdóttir, previously chairman of surgery of the Reykjavík University in Iceland. Margrét Oddsdóttir died of breast cancer in January 2009, and during her treatment she was under the care of Larry Norton and Lewis care until her last day.

Famous quotes containing the word yale:
“While it may not heighten our sympathy, wit widens our horizons by its flashes, revealing remote hidden affiliations and drawing laughter from far afield; humor, in contrast, strikes up fellow feeling, and though it does not leap so much across time and space, enriches our insight into the universal in familiar things, lending it a local habitation and a name.”
—Marie Collins Swabey. Comic Laughter, ch. 5, Yale University Press (1961)
“And there was that wholesale libel on a Yale prom. If all the girls attending it were laid end to end, Mrs. Parker said, she wouldn’t be at all surprised.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
“A man who graduated high in his class at Yale Law School and made partnership in a top law firm would be celebrated. A man who invested wisely would be admired, but a woman who accomplishes this is treated with suspicion.”
