Dr. Nolan D. C. Lewis, a

former director of the New York State Psychiatric Institute and an

internationally known figure in neuropathology, died yesterday at the Frederick

(Md.) Memorial Hospital after a brief illness. He was 90 years old and lived in

Frederick. Dr. Lewis was an expert in a broad range of neurological and

psychiatric disorders, specializing in schizophrenia. At the time of his death,

he was preparing a book on symbolism in schizophrenic art. Active on scores of

committees, organizations and agencies concerned with mental health, Dr. Lewis

divided his time between academic and public responsibilities. In 1946 and

1947, he was a psychiatric consultant at the war crime trials in Nuremburg,

and, on a special assignment, he did research for the United States Government

on Nazi medical experiments. He also participated in studies of the medical

effects of the bombing of Hiroshima. Dr. Lewis was appointed professor of

neurology at Columbia University and an associate director of the Neurological

Institute of the Columbia‐Presbyterian Medical

Center in 1936. He had been assistant director of the Institute for several

months, while he was director of laboratories at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in

Washington. He had been director of clinical psychiatry at that hospital from

1923 to 1933. A 1914 graduate of the University of Maryland Medical School, Dr.

Lewis did postgraduate work in psychology and biology at Johns Hopkins

University and then spent a year at the University of Vienna. Dr. Lewis was

professor of experimental pathology at George Washington University from 1923

to 1924 and professor of clinical psychology from 1925 until his appointment at

Columbia. He was named medical director of the Neurological Institute of New

York in 1936 and remained in that post until 1953. From 1953 until 1958, he was

director of research in neurology and psychiatry for New Jersey's public

hospitals and agencies. Dr. Lewis was the author

of more than 200 articles and 10 books in neuropathology and psychiatry. He was

also an editor and contributor to many scientific journals and a board member

or officer of more than a score of professional societies.
