A pioneer in the field of community health, he founded the Institute of Public Health and Preventive Medicine in 1912. He joined Temple's faculty in 1932; he became Emeritus Professor in 1957, but continued working at the Institute and the School of Medicine until his death. The serologic test for syphilis bearing his name is used extensively in clinical laboratories throughout the world. JOHN A. KOLMER, M.D. 1886-1962 '•tvsti&c-: The development of broncho-esophagology is one of the most unique advances in 20th century medicine. In 1917, Dr. Chevalier Jackson brought to Philadelphia and eventually to Temple this remarkable facility. He devoted his entire professional life, spanning more than 60 years, to the development of new and often life saving instru­ ments and techniques. With his son, the late C. L. Jack­ son, he instituted the famous yearly courses in broncho­ esophagology at Temple. Physicians from all parts of the world come for the lectures, demonstrations, and clinic and laboratory practice in managing disease of the esophagus, the larynx, lungs and related structures. CHEVALIER JACKSON, M.D. 1865-1958 The Babcock Surgical Clinic, a composite portrait, was painted by Furmen T. Fink in 1944-45. It was commis­ sioned with the retirement of Dr. Babcock, who for 40 years had served Temple as Professor of Surgery. He was appointed to the chair two years after the School of Medicine was founded. He was a pioneer in spinal anes­ thesia, stimulated by its possible uses following a visit to France in 1907. Dr. Babcock's fame partly rests on his development of surgical techniques for intestinal cancer and hernia repair, as well as his use of stainless steel wire sutures and the invention of many surgical instruments. WILLIAM N. PARKINSON, M.D. 1886- W. WAYNE BABCOCK, M.D. 1872-1963 Surviving surgeons depicted in the oil portrait are: Dr. William N. Parkinson, Emeritus Dean and Professor of Clinical Surgery (fourth from left, background); Dr. W. Emory Burnett, Emeritus Professor and Chairman of the Department of Surgery (second from left, background); and Dr. George P. Rosemond, present Chairman of the Department (first from left, background). W. EMORY BURNETT, M.D. 1898- Dr. Fay became Professor of Neurology and Neurosur­ gery in 1929, and chaired the department until 1943. He was an intrepid neurosurgical pioneer. Though some considered him too bold, he provided early insight into techniques in hypothermia and surgery for intractable pain. He was awarded the American Medical Associa­ tion's Gold Medal Award. TEMPLE FAY, M.D. y'ivirf'vjx %^i?t^*st. 1895-1963 Dr. Spiegel, a neurophysiologist, and Dr. Wycis, a neuro­ surgeon, collaborated to found a new branch of neuro­ surgery: stereotaxic surgery (stereoencephalotomy). Their interest in this technique began in an era when prefrontal lobotomy was the recognized procedure for managing functional disorders and intractable pain. Their successful clinical application of stereoencepha­ lotomy in 1947 brought them worldwide prominence. Today, over 28,000 such operations have taken place. They provide treatment for the involuntary movements of Parkinson's disease and cerebral palsy, as well as for intractable pain and certain types of epilepsy and brain tumors. HENRY T. WYCIS, M.D. 1911- >* K^aptov/j ERNEST A. SPIEGEL, M.D. 1895- Dr. English is one of the world greats in the field of psy­ chiatry. After attending the University of Maine, he pur­ sued medical training at Jefferson, Montefiore, Charity W9Vm Hospital in Berlin, and Harvard, where he also instructed. Coming to Temple in 1933, he was chairman of his de­ partment from 1938 until 1964. Dr. English has a prose style which is graceful and eminently readable; he has written innumerable papers and co-authored five books. He has a busy private practice, and with Mrs. English continues to lead a vibrant, interesting life. His two sons are physicians: Wes is a surgeon outside of Portland, Maine, and Cal is in this year's graduating class. O. SPURGEON ENGLISH, M.D. 1901- The field of psychosomatic medicine began with Edward Weiss. After many years at Jefferson, he came to Temple in 1932. He began a medical-psychological conference for Temple seniors, where patients from the medical wards were studied psychologically. From this idea and the case material presented, the book Psychosomatic Medicine emerged, co-authored with Dr. O. Spurgeon English. From that point on, physicians have been taught 'mm that in treating the patient, one cannot separate mind from body, psyche from soma. Dr. Weiss documented for the world of medicine that in understanding illness and sick people, one must include a knowledge of emo­ tional processes within the body, not simply those proc­ esses of organic disease. EDWARD WEISS, M.D. 1895-1960 •4* •>• cy.f Fi-, iVv»Afrfe^C, ""-*i: Ti?-v7'.,T>, Dr. Krusen was made Associate Dean and Director of the Department of Physical Medicine at Temple in 1925. He left in 1935 for other horizons, returning a few years ago to become Coordinator of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Center which now bears his name. Dr. Krusen was founder and first chairman of the Ameri­ can Board of Physical Medicine and is a member of the President's Executive Committee on Employment of the Handicapped. He is the author or senior editor of nine books and 450 papers. He has extensively researched the application of infrared radiation, microwave and ultra­ sound diathermy to the practice of medicine. FRANK H. KRUSEN, M.D. 1898- Imago animi vultus est. —Cicero Dr. Moore, born in Deeth, Nevada, later graduated from the University of California Medical School in 1925 and took his residency at Shriners Hospital in Atlanta. While at Temple, he originated the role of the delayed reduction of fractures and gained international recogni­ tion in orthopedic repair. Though at times thought to be a supreme individualist and even tyrannical, Dr. Moore is known best for his surgical meticulousness and devo­ tion to anatomic fundamentals. He has been past vice president of both the Board and the Academy of Ortho­ pedic Surgery, and was president of the American Ortho­ pedic Association. He is, in addition, an ardent orni­ thologist. JOHN ROYAL MOORE, M.D. 1899- • ;<fflk^- In 1940, Dr. Nelson was appointed Department of Pediatrics at Temple, being mai cal Director of St. Christopher's Hospital f 1947. Under him, a small neighborhood hos developed into a complete child health insti and major referral center in the Mid-Atlantic states. He is best known as editor of the Textbook of Pediat which is in its ninth edition and has been translated into numerous languages. A featured speaker at meetings and medical schools throughout the world, he is also known for his earlier contributions in the fields of tuber­ culosis and juvenile diabetes. WALDO E. NELSON, M.D. 1898- ln 1930, when Dr. Chamberlain came east from Stanford University, his department of radiology at Temple was one of the first to boast a well equipped machine shop and engineering assistants. He was a neuroradiologist before this subspecialty actually existed. A charter mem­ ber of the Harvey Cushing Society, he was president in 1950. Among his outstanding contributions to the field of radiology were the development of air myelography and studies of basilar invagination in the skull. W. EDWARD CHAMBERLAIN, M.D. 1892- Dr. Bacon graduated from Temple in 1925 and acquired extensive training and experience in proctology both in this country and abroad. He returned in 1942 as Pro­ fessor and Head of the Division of Proctologic Surgery. He is founder and chairman of the Colon and Recta! Surgical Section of the International College of Surgeons. Dr. Bacon is the author or co-author of fifteen textbooks on proctology and is credited with 344 articles. He has nearly thirty years of experience in surgery for rectal cancer, and was one of the first apostles of the famed pull-through operation. Dr. Bacon was the founder and first editor of the SKULL in 1925. HARRY E. BACON, M.D. 1900- SKETCHES BY LEO STRELETZ A DAY IN THE LIFE For in the last analysis human societies make their healers, and the healers then make the doctrine, and eventually if the makers of the doctrine happen to espouse the scientific method, a feedback phenomenon begins: the doctrine because it is true begins to make true healers of ihe healers, and the healers, using the truth begin to remake the society that made them. Allen Gregg, M.D. i PRE-CLINICAL SCIENCES ORIENTATION WEEK The humidity of early September, 1965 was hardly a welcome for the new freshman class, as we hesitantly looked for Room 316 and the beginning of orientation week. Of course, our palmar eccrine hyperactivity was not secondary to the Philadelphia weather. We mingled in the sea of unfamiliar people, ready to embark on the voyage of a medical career that we had wanted so much to make. The occasional familiar face was, by its contrast, surprisingly comforting. Dr. Robert Bucher bid us welcome in one of the few times we ever saw our extremely busy dean.
