Executive1. Summary The Department of Medicine (DoM) at the University of Toronto is one of the oldest and largest in North America, dating back to the founding of the School of Medicine in 1843. A historic milestone in the Department’s history was the establishment of the Sir John and Lady Eaton endowment in 1919. The endowment subsequently led to the appointment of the first full-time Chair of Medicine in what was then the British Empire, and the Chair of the Department has held the Sir John and Lady Eaton Chair in Medicine title since that time. What is special about this endowment is that it was established to protect physicians’ time for research and teaching; in effect, these funds ($375 thousand in 1919, approximately equivalent to $5.4 million in 2018) laid the foundation for the principle of pooling clinical income to support academic activities through departmental practice plans. In 2019, we will celebrate this important milestone. Our mission is to prepare future physician leaders, contribute to our communities and improve the health and health-care experiences of individuals and populations through the discovery, application, translation and communication of knowledge. Our vision is to meaningfully impact health through international leadership in education, research and the translation of new knowledge into better care and health outcomes. In 2015, the Department identified the following eight strategic priorities toward achieving this vision: https://www.deptmedicine.utoronto.ca/values- guiding-principles 1. Ensure the perspectives and experiences of our patients and their families guide our work. 2. Promote equity, diversity and professionalism. 3. Be socially accountable and steward health-care resources. 4. Align future physician training to meet future population needs. 5. Promote the generation and translation of new knowledge with the potential to impact patient care and outcomes. 6. Recognize and value the contributions of all (diverse teams, teachers and researchers, etc.). 7. Enhance mentorship across the academic lifespan. 8. Raise funds to meet our goals.

    Ward 2 at Base Hospital No. 28 in Limoges, France, crowded with men in military uniforms and in the pajamas issued to the sick and wounded at the hospital. In the background are two nurses, crisply dressed in white caps and aprons. Photograph courtesy of the National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 32 (Autumn 2009): 168–85 168 KANSAS HISTORY “A BRAVE AND GALLANT COMPANY ”: A Kansas City Hospital in France during the First World War by Anthony Kovac, Nancy Hulston, Grace Holmes, and Frederick Holmes n a 1963 medical journal, Kansas City dermatologist Dr. Charles Dennie described his colleagues of the U.S. Army’s Base Hospital No. 28 as “a brave and gallant company.”1 The officers, nurses, and enlisted men who comprised the staff of this 2,500-bed general hospital were recruited from the Kansas City environs in 1917. They worked efficiently and well during their posting to Limoges, France, from July 1918 until May 1919, when they returned home and were demobilized. This hospital was one of more than one hundred American base hospitals sent to France to support the two Imillion men who served in the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe during the First World War. The Kansas City per- sonnel of Base Hospital No. 28, nearly all of whom were associated with the University of Kansas School of Medicine, were competent and capable far beyond what is typically imagined of First World War surgical and medical practitioners. Anthony Kovac, MD, is the Kasumi Arakawa Professor of Anesthesiology and vice chair for research of the Department of Anesthesiology; Nancy Hulston, MA, is the director of archives and the Clendening History of Medicine Museum; Grace Holmes, MD, is professor of pediatrics and of preventive medicine emerita; and Frederick Holmes, MD, is professor of medicine emeritus and professor of the history and philosophy of medicine, all of the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City.
