Why Jefferson • Jeff is extraordinarily integrated into the Philadelphia community.

uring summer 1918, Philadelphians were enjoying the long-running British musical Chu Chin Chow at the Shubert Theater, Jerome Kern's Leave It to Jane at the Chestnut Street Opera House and John Philip Sousa's Liberty Loan concerts in Willow Grove Park to raise funds for World War I. Reports of a flu killing thousands in Europe, the Mideast and Asia drew little attention even after the disease emerged in the United States in Boston in August. And the news of hundreds of sailors falling ill on Sept. 18 and 19 at the Philadelphia naval base gave city health officials scant concern. No one considered canceling the kickoff of the Fourth Liberty Loan Drive, which attracted more than 200,000 people to a parade that stretched 23 blocks Sept. 28. Less than a week later, 139 Philadelphians died in one day, panic took hold and city health officials turned to Jefferson students for help In just one month, the "Spanish Lady" - named for a country hard hit early - would kill an estimated 12,000 in Philadelphia and sicken 35,000 more while threatening the city's social fabric. Worldwide, the pandemic would infect a third of the Earth's population, about 500 million people, with the estimates of deaths ranging from 50 million to as high as 100 million. In comparison, an epidemic far better known - the "Black Death" plague of the 1300s - killed just 20 million to 30 million in Europe. No influenza pandemic before 1918 and none since has come close to the virulence. Although today's H1N1 influenza is a distant relative of the 1918 virus, it has created a pandemic classified as "moderate" by the World Health Organization with the overwhelming majority of patients experi- encing only mild symptoms and a full recovery, often in the absence of any medical treatment. In 1918 - an era without anti-flu drugs, antibiotics and mechanical ventilators - Philadelphia led the country in deaths. It also gave the world a clear example of the wrong way to handle a pandemic.
FLU STRIKES YOUNG ADULTS WITH FEROCITY The Spanish flu was far from the "old-fashioned grip," as Vicks VapoRub claimed in newspaper ads of the day.

Talk of cheerful things." 16 JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE ALUMNI BULLETIN
DELAY PROVES CRITICAL Philadelphia's delay in trying to contain the outbreak very well may have led to thousands of addi- tional deaths. According to two independent studies financed by the National Institutes of Health, cities that imposed social containment measures within a few days after the first local cases emerged in 1918 cut weekly death rates by up to half. The papers, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in May 2007, also found mortality lower in cities that implemented early inter- ventions. The wisdom of communicating and taking precautions seems evident today, but the 1918 pandemic came against the backdrop of the First World War. To keep up morale, President Woodrow Wilson ordered his administration to contain all news to positive reports; he never made a single statement about the pandemic. Local health officials, and many local newspapers, played down the threat. But as the disease progressed, they could not stifle the population's panic.
PANICKED RUSH HOSPITALS The death rate peaked during the week ending Oct. 16, when 4,597 people died. Vehicles of every description crowded in front of the city's hospitals, and students volunteered as stretcher bearers, bringing the dead from the hospitals to make room for the living.

Isaac Starr, MD, a third-year student at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1918, ended up serving at a hospital partially torn down to make way for the new Benjamin Franklin Parkway and then hastily sealed to handle the crush of patients. He wrote about his experiences in an essay for The Annals of Internal Medicine in 1976: "My patients who often entered the ward with what appeared to be a minor illness became in a few days delirious and incontinent, gasping for breath and deeply cyanotic. After a day or two of intense struggle, they died. When I returned to duty at 4 p.m., I found few whom I had seen before. This happened night after night."
FEAR RUNS DEEP The pandemic stretched the city's social fabric. Early on, officials ordered all Philadelphians to wear gauze masks in public: "Protect your jaws from the septic paws." Those refusing were called "slackers:' one of the worst epithets of the day, and often were run off the street. Spitting became a criminal offense.

The Board of Trustees: An Alumnus' Perspective William V. Harrer, MD '62, joined the University Board What did you find surprising about the board? of Trustees last spring as one of four representatives A: I am personally amazed at the dedication of the members. of University alumni. Elected by JMC alumni, Harrer Most are not physicians, but they put a great deal of time, will serve a three-year term with the possibility of effort and integrity into improving Jefferson academically a three-year extension. and financially and its role in the community.
After several months on the board, Harrer shared It's great to have people from different walks of life adding his impressions. their insights. Their questions are tremendously valuable. As a physician, you are taught to listen to patients, examine them, make diagnoses and design a plan of treatment. But these board members come at problems from another perspective. They ask: Why are we doing it this way? What if we did it that way? IL'.141111N41i What are your responsibilities? A: The board and the committees meet four times a year. I'm a member of the Scientific and Academic Affairs Committee. It's eye-opening to see the broad range of topics the board reviews from academic appointments to facilities improvements, audits, compliance and finances. To be an active participant, I need to prep
As an alumni representative, I also feel the need to report 1.11° back to the Alumkecutive Committee and the Alumni Associationat
CI What do you find the most interesting about serving on the board? A: I'm privy to the developments and plans in a detailed way that leaves me nothing but tremendously enthused about Jefferson. The Eakins Fund is fantastic; we've given more than $1 million in scholarships to 38 students and developed four professorships with the help of donors and this matching fund.
The University's decision to solidify its relationship with the University of Delaware we're even discussing the establishment of a small campus down there — and the possibility of alliances with other academic medical centers show that we're trying to exponentially increase our resources without the burden of high costs. And our growth, the new programs in nursing and the two new schools of Pharmacy and Population Health, is extremely exciting. No one is resting on his laurels. Everyone is looking to improve the University.
All this comes back to the patient. What is Jeff if we aren't continually developing the best education for students and the best care for patients? That's what this board is all about. 30 JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE ALUMNI BULLETIN

Jim Stratton believes his life might have turned out quite different Looking at without the L.F. Teas Scholarship he received each year while earning a bachelor's degree from Penn State University in the late '50s.
Back then, the $1,000 scholarship - the equivalent of $7,400 in today's Scholarships dollars - paid for a year's tuition, room and board. Stratton went on to earn an MBA at Harvard Business School and for 35 years served as president and chief executive officer of Stratton Management Co. in Plymouth Meeting, Pa., an from Both Sides investment management firm specializing in equities. As Stratton nears the end of his professional career, Adnan Bashir, a third-year medical student, is just beginning his. The Paul C. Brucker Scholarships brought these two very different people together. Combining Respect, Gratitude Stratton, a University board member since 1971, decided five years ago to marry his respect for Jefferson to his gratitude to Penn State by establishing the Paul C. Brucker Scholarship Fund. The fund benefits people in the accelerated Penn State/Jefferson medical program, which allows gifted students to finish their undergraduate requirements and JMC courses in six or seven years.
Each year, the Stratton Foundation examines the academic records, financial needs and character of five students recommended by a Penn State committee and chooses one. The last category - character - was not lost on Bashir. "This was really special because I consider this a lifetime achievement award," said Bashir. "This means I have been rewarded for all my hard work." Benefiting From Freedom Bashir knew while attending high school outside Philadelphia in West Chester that he wanted a medical career. "I knew I would be happy because I knew every day I would be doing something useful," he said.
The accelerated program and the scholarship have given him freedom to examine all options in the coming years. "Because I have fewer loans to repay and I'm younger than most med students, I can spend an extra year in research or getting my master's in public health," he said. He said he also feels free to consider a specialty requiring a long residency, though he has yet to narrow his choices.
Stratton named the fund for his close friend and family doctor, Paul C. Brucker, MD, who served as Thomas Jefferson University's president from 1990 to 2004. "I want others to look at this fund as a prototype," he said. "It has worked out exceptionally well."
Again, the message has not been lost on Bashir. "When I have the resources, I'll donate as much as possible to Jefferson to help other students," he said.
