Albert is a preeminent ophthalmologist and collector of historical medical documents and artifacts. Born in Newark, NJ, Albert graduated from Franklin and Marshall College in 1958, and from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1962. Albert completed his residency at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania under Dr. Harold Scheie and, after engaging in two fellowships, returned to the University to teach. Dr. Daniel Albert spent much of his career (1976-1992) as the David G. Cogan Professor of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School, and then went on the serve as the Frederick A. Davis Professor and chair of the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Wisconsin Medical School until 2016. Albert is the founding director of the McPherson Eye Research Institute and served for twenty years as the editor of the American Medical Association’s Archives of Ophthalmology (now JAMA Ophthalmology) starting in 1994. Currently, Dr. Albert is Professor of Ophthalmology at the Casey Eye Institute, Oregon Health and Science University. He has been recognized with multiple professional awards and has published extensively, including on the topic of the history of medicine. The following articles provide additional information on the history of the field of ophthalmology: Wheeler, J. R. “History of Ophthalmology through the Ages.” The British Journal of Ophthalmology 30.5 (1946): 264–275. Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. “History of Ophthalmology.” Accessed August 30, 2017. http://www.uphs.upenn.edu/ophthalmology/about/ history.htm Scope and Contents The Dr. Daniel and Eleanor Albert collection of ophthalmology material (1596-2000, undated) presents some historical developments in eye care and ocular medicine, particularly over the course of the nineteenth century. While the majority of materials in this collection relate to ophthalmology, some pertain more broadly to medicine or to American history. Many documents are accompanied by descriptions or transcriptions provided by the seller, or additional background research conducted by the donor of the collection. In addition to correspondence, printed booklets and pamphlets, broadsides and advertisements, receipts, stock certificates, and some photographs and prints, the collection includes dozens of mostly eighteenth and nineteenth century spectacles and ophthalmoscopes. The correspondence in this collection, arranged chronologically, dates from 1792 to 1950, with a few undated materials. Most of the letters were either written by or addressed to physicians, or relate to medical matters. Other letters speak to the experiences (both in matters of health and everyday life) of - Page 4 - Dr. Daniel and Eleanor Albert collection of ophthalmology material nineteenth century settlers, especially those to the state of Wisconsin. Several letters relate, either directly or tangentially, to the highly publicized murder in 1849 of George Parkman by John White Webster, a Harvard chemistry professor. This series contains four applications for positions as assistant surgeon in the Union Navy (submitted to the New York Naval Hospital in 1861), each of which consists of a cover letter and handwritten answers to a list of questions to demonstrate professional aptitude. Other notable documents include several letters written by Civil War surgeon William H. Githens during his service; a letter from Helen Keller to Ione Kurtz, composed in the wake of the death of Keller's friend and teacher Anne Sullivan; and the results of a phrenological analysis conducted by Orson S. Fowler. Aside from a short letter by German physician Hermann von Helmholtz, all letters are in English. The education materials in this collection consist mainly of nineteenth and early twentieth century medical school brochures, which provide some combination of lists of faculty, students, alumni, lectures, courses and institutional policies. This series also includes three apprenticeship indentures to British surgeons and a certificate for a prize in theoretical chemistry granted to Michael McGrath. This series is arranged in chronological order. The papers pertaining to organizations, institutions and governments include edicts; certifications; a few eighteenth century American legal documents; and a number of printed booklets presenting the meeting minutes and annual reports of various boards, societies, and associations. While some such pamphlets describe the administration of educational institutions, they have been included in this, rather than the prior series, because of their organizational emphasis. A noteworthy file in this series is "Boston Medical Police," an 1808 booklet often considered the first American code of medical ethics. This series is arranged in chronological order. The series of publicity materials contains advertisements, broadsides, catalogs, and circulars, mostly for medical treatments and services. Some of these documents succinctly promote a particular product while others dispense medical advice and health information, or include testimonials. This series is arranged in chronological order. The eighteenth century bills of exchange in the following series include war bonds and pay tables issued by the state of Connecticut (or "State of Hartford") to Dr. Amos Mead, Ralph Pomeroy, [Gilbert] Belcher, and "the Selectmen of Norfolk." The files in this series bearing a later date are mostly receipts for eyeglasses and medications. This series is arranged in chronological order. With

  • How a Harvard Doctor's Sordid Murder Launched Modern Forensic Anthropology
    How A Harvard Doctor's Sordid Murder Launched Modern Forensic Anthropology Aug 26, 2016 https://www.forbes.com/sites/kristinakillgrove/2016/08/26/how‐a‐harvard‐doctors‐sordid‐murder‐launched‐modern‐forensic‐anthropology/#6e1dd3e9be9f The history of modern forensic anthropology is a bit murky. As an applied science rather than a "pure" one, forensics was shunned for decades, its findings inadmissible in court. But the 19th century murder of a Harvard Medical School doctor launched the field, revolutionized law in the process, and began our longstanding fascination with TV shows like CSI and Bones. The story starts just before Thanksgiving in 1849, when Dr. George Parkman went missing. Parkman was from a wealthy Boston family, an old‐timey Doogie Howser who entered Harvard at age 15. He went to medical school in Scotland, returning after the War of 1812. Parkman donated some land in Boston to Harvard Medical College so that the school could relocate from Cambridge. He was also well‐known for lending money from his considerable fortune and for walking around town to collect on those debts. Left: Dr. George Parkman. Right: Dr. John Webster. Images from: Trial of Professor John W. Webster, for the murder of Doctor George Parkman. Reported exclusively for the N.Y. Daily Globe (1850). Images in the public domain, via NIH National Library of Medicine. A professor of chemistry and geology at Harvard, John White Webster, was one of those debtors. He had been having financial problems, requiring him to give up his family's Cambridge mansion. Webster's salary as a lecturer at Harvard simply didn't cover his grandiose lifestyle.

  • George Parkman Dr
    MORDRE WOL OUT July 7, Monday [1851]: ... With a certain wariness, but not without a slight shudder at the danger oftentimes, I perceive how near I had come to admitting into my mind the details of some trivial affair, as a case at court– And I am astonished to observe how willing men are to lumber their minds with such rubbish –to permit idle rumors tales incidents even of an insignificant kind –to intrude upon what should be the sacred ground of the thoughts Shall the temple of our thought be a public arena where the most trivial affair of the market & the gossip of the teatable is discussed –a dusty noisy trivial place –or shall it be a quarter of heaven itself –a place consecrated to the service of the gods –a hypaethral temple. I find it so difficult to dispose of the few facts which to me are significant that I hesitate to burden my mind with the most insignificant which only a divine mind could illustrate. Such is for the most part the news –in newspapers & conversation. It is important to preserve the mind’s chastity in this respect Think of admitting the details of a single case at the criminal court into the mind –to stalk profanely through its very sanctum sanctorum for an hour –aye for many hours– –to make a very bar-room of your mind’s inmost apartment –as if for a moment the dust of the street had occupied you –aye the very street itself with all its travel passed through your very mind of minds –your thoughts shrine –with all its filth & bustle [possibly “hustle”]– Would it not be an intellectual suicide? By all manner of boards & traps threatening the extreme penalty of the divine law excluding trespassers from these grounds it behoves us to preserve the purity & sanctity of the mind.

    GO TO MASTER INDEX OF WARFARE WHAT IF THEY GAVE A WAR AND NOBODY CAME? FRIEND JOHN R. KELLAM, WORLD WAR II PRISONER OF CONSCIENCE UPDATE, MAY 2012: Despite the fact that he has never smoked, John now has Stage 4 lung cancer and, given the fact that he has reached the advanced age of 94½, has evidently decided that it would be better not to attempt dramatic chemotherapy or radiation treatment. He is at home surrounded by friends and family and is alert, cogent, and somewhat sardonic. Stay tuned. HDT WHAT? INDEX JOHN R. KELLAM PRISONER OF CONSCIENCE GO TO MASTER INDEX OF WARFARE The direct quotations of John R. Kellam herein originated in an interview with Caroline Besse Webster of Canaan CT, a member of the South Berkshire Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), in Massachusetts during the year 2001. Other historical material are from the “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” project of Austin Meredith, considered by him to be relevant to the interviewee’s life history, philosophy, and spirituality, resulting in his determination to remain a nonparticipant in any kind of warfare whatever. John says: “I’m far enough along in age so that it is my hope that my experiences might be widely shared. It is important to me whether a generation or two of young men —and women?— can be helped to realize that there are various alternatives to letting ourselves be conscripted into warfare and a lifetime of devastating memories and guilt. Perhaps I can still be a contributor to the educational process.” HDT WHAT? INDEX JOHN R.

Benjamin Silliman’s heirs had sent back to Amherst College most of the letters he had received from Hitchcock, so I was lucky to have access to both sides of their correspondence in the college’s Archives and Special Collections. I also located a few more letters from other archives.1 Because Silliman’s handwriting is difficult, I had to transcribe his letters just to be sure of their content.

  • John White Webster John White Webster
    1 “OUR PROFESSORS DO NOT OFTEN COMMIT MURDER” WALDEN: [T]hat economy of living which is synonymous with philosophy is not even sincerely professed in our colleges. 1. Comment by Harvard President Jared Sparks. HDT WHAT? INDEX JOHN WHITE WEBSTER JOHN WHITE WEBSTER Doctor John White Webster, A fat and sassy man. According to Horace Mann, Sr., taking full privilege of hindsight, and relying upon the science of phrenology, it had always seemed that there was something wrong with him: I think his head was terribly wide at the base. This was not only a physician but also a Harvard professor. And, as President Jared Sparks took care to point out, Harvard professors do not often commit murder. The current explanation for this hanging of a Harvard professor is that the authorities in Boston had mousetrapped themselves — they had on entirely circumstantial evidence hanged a friendless negro seaman, Washington Goode who had gone to his grave protesting his entire innocence, and therefore they could not in all conscience refrain from hanging this high-status white man merely because the evidence had again been circumstantial. That current explanation has a flaw in that they had a way out of their predicament which they neglected to utilize. They could simply have gone “Ooooh, my consciousness has suddenly been raised and now I see that it is irremediably perverse to kill people to teach them a lesson they won’t forget.” They could have done away with the death penalty as Michigan had in 1846, as Rhode Island would in 1852, and as Wisconsin would in 1853.
