In recognition of Black History Month, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. continues to recognize a few of its members’ “Achievement in Every Field of Human Endeavor.”

Dr. Clarence Leon Wilson (Beta 1915) was a distinguished clinician, author, and lecturer in obstetrics and gynecology, and 16th Grand Polemarch C. Rodger Wilson’s brother.

A graduate of the University of Illinois with both bachelor’s and medical degrees, Wilson practiced medicine in Chicago after serving as a medical officer during World War I. His clinical research at Provident Hospital, Chicago Lying-In Hospital, and Michael Reese Hospital made important contributions to the field of obstetrics. In 1938, the U.S. Civil Service Commission recognized him as a senior obstetrics specialist, and he later ranked first on Illinois’ state examination for maternity and infancy field consultant.

Wilson held several teaching and leadership roles, including instructor at Provident’s School of Nurse Training and faculty member of the National Medical Association. A board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist, he published more than a dozen studies, including influential research on syphilis in pregnancy and anesthesia in childbirth.

He served as a Beta Chapter Polemarch, a North Central Province Polemarch, and a Grand Keeper of Records. He also helped charter the Iota and Chicago (IL) Alumni Chapters. In 1945, he was posthumously awarded the 9th Laurel Wreath, the fraternity’s highest honor, for his exceptional professional and fraternal contributions.
