Five Guys Named Moe is a British musical that garnered many hon-
ors. It was not about Moe Bergman, but the name of the musical is a metaphor for Moe. He was an unpretentious mover and shaker who made major contributions in several different areas. He had an amazing ability in addressing a diffi cult problem to demonstrate personality traits that were appropriate for the task at hand. On many occasions, he demonstrated an ability to address several diverse problems simultaneously with the same relentless drive. It was almost as if he were several beings in one body. This tribute identifi es fi ve major accomplishments that were achieved by Moe where each accomplishment required a very different way of doing things. Moe Bergman, compassionate soldier Moe served in the United States Army from 1943 to 1946. He was initially assigned to the signals corps where he acquired a basic knowledge of electronics during his pre-induction training. Once in the army, he was deeply moved by the plight of returning sol-
diers with severe hearing damage and the lack of appropriate rehabilitation services for them. It is not wise for a soldier in the ranks to write to the top brass directly, but Moe was not one to be daunted by mere formalities. He wrote to the Surgeon General in Washington, offering his services “ to work with soldiers with hearing impairment. ” The letter was received at an opportune time. The army was aware of the rapidly growing number of soldiers with severe hearing dam-
age and was in the process of setting up three aural rehabilitation clinics in different regions of the country. Moe was assigned to help set up the clinic at the Hoff General Hospital in Santa Barbara. From the army ’ s perspective, Moe ’ s qualifi cations for the task were unique and appropriate. Aural rehabilitation, such as it was at that time, was performed by teachers of speech correction, many of whom taught deaf children. Moe had an MA degree in speech correction and was a practicing teacher of speech correction when America joined the war. The army had state-of-the-art electronic equipment that could be used for hearing measurement and rehabilitation. Speech cor-
rection teachers, however, were not trained in the use of electronic equipment, but Private Moe Bergman, a teacher of speech correc-
tion, had already taken a pre-induction course in electronics for the signal corps. He was also a self-starter, as was evident from the letter he wrote to the Surgeon General and, most importantly, he was deeply concerned with the plight of injured soldiers and had the skills to help. Hence his re-assignment to develop an aural rehabilita-
tion program at one of the three hearing clinics being set up by the army. The pioneering work performed at these three clinics laid the foundation for modern audiology. Moe was in the forefront of this endeavor together with other leading fi gures, including Ira Hirsh, Raymond Carhart, Grant Fairbanks, and others. Moe Bergman, educator and dreamer After his tour of duty in the army, Moe moved to the Veterans Administration where he became the chief audiologist. In 1953 he entered academe. Moe had a long abiding interest in education and a professorship at Hunter College of the City University of New Y ork provided him with a new challenge. He also had dreams of making a major contribution to education. An opportunity to pursue this dream occurred in the early 1960s. Prior to 1961, there were sev-
eral public colleges in New Y ork City funded by the city. Brooklyn College, City College, Hunter College, Queens College were some of the more well-known colleges. The colleges operated indepen-
dently with a substantial redundancy in academic offerings. This was an ineffi cient arrangement and in 1961 the city merged the many colleges supported by public funds into a single university thereby creating the largest urban university in the United States. The City University of New Y ork (CUNY) today consists of 24 colleges with an enrollment of over 500 000 students. Unlike the state-wide university systems of California and New Y ork State, which were even larger, all of the colleges of the City University of New Y ork were within a subway ride of each other. Moe was quick to realize the potential of this arrangement. His dream was to form a central doctoral program that would be fed by the best graduates of the master ’ s level programs at the constitu-
ent colleges. Further, this central program would involve doctoral level students only, thereby serving as a magnet for outstanding faculty. Moe had also benefi tted substantially from the diversity of his own education, and he was a strong believer in an interdisci-
plinary approach to audiology, particularly at the doctoral level. He campaigned hard to establish a university-wide doctoral program Obituary Five guys named Moe: A tribute to Moe Bergman ISSN 1499-2027 print/ISSN 1708-8186 online © 2014 British Societ y of Audiology, International Society of Audiology, and Nordic Audiological Society
