Tris' request for a leave that interrupted his clinical c1erkships,
so that he could undertake his graduate studies in Austin. The
field, not just Tris, owes Jim Knight a hearty "thank you" for his
decision to approve Tris' request, which was unusual, to say the
least, in the conservative world ofmedical education at the time.
Whenhereturned toTulane to complete his medical degree, Tris
undertook withRichardZanerthe translationofAlfred Schutz'sandThomas
Luckmann's 6 The Structures of the Life-World. Tris did this work
while on his clinical rotations, including obstetrics and
gynecology. In between delivering babies, most of whom were
delivered by medical students at New Orleans' Charity Hospital, he
worked on this translation. Tris once told me that, as a medical
student, he had delivered scores ofbabies alone. Ican see him
sitting with a patient in the labor area or maybe in the hall,
attending to her, monitoring her progress in labor and the fetus'
status, and translating from German, which is his first language,
as well as thatofhis children. As this translation indicates, Tris
believes in texts and scholarship about texts in a way that is
decidedly not post-modem. This is also plain to anyone who has read
his work. Forexample, the two editions of The Foundations of
Bioethies, whateverelse one might thinkofthem, are monuments
ofscholar- ship in the historiesofphilosophy, medicine, theology,
and ideas generally, not to mention excellent primers on Texana.
These books are packed with re- ferences and footnotes.
