Born in 1879, Goethe Link was an Indiana University alumnus and renowned physician. In this interview, he tells of his years as a student at Indiana University, from 1894 to 1896, and his involvement with the fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi. A widely respected physician, Link helped in the organization of the first medical department at Indiana University, located in Indianapolis, in addition to performing many innovative medical procedures, including the first medically performed drainage of the pancreas in the world.
