"'THERE is no better, there is no more open doorby which you can enter into the study of natural

philosophy, than by considering the physical phenomenaof a candle.' Michael Faraday spoke these words morethan a century ago to an audience of young people atthe Royal Institute . They would be equally appropriatetoday in many high schools throughout our land wherestudents are introduced to chemistry by being asked tomake and record detailed observations of a burningcandle. Th e making and recording of detailed observa­tions is a fundamental activity of science, and is some­thing which you must consider essential throughoutyour professional careers," stated keynote speaker Dr.Louis J. Hampton in addressing those assembled forOpening Exercises of the 141st Annual Session of the

Jefferson Medical College on Monday evening, Septem­ber 14th in McClellan Hall.

Dr. Peter A. Herbut, Professor of Pathology andHead of the Department , in introducing Dr. Hamptonsaid, "To those of us more closely associated with Jef­ferson, Professor Hampton needs no introduction. Tothe guests and incoming students, however, he may notbe known quite as well and so I shall try to present abrief resume of his attainments.

"Professor Hampton is a native of our state, beingborn in Loysville, Pa. He obtained a B.S. degree in 1929from Franklin and Marshall College and an M.D. de­gree in 1933 from the University of Pennsylvania.

"He interned at the Presbyterian Hospital in Phila­delphi a from 1933-35 after which he joined the staff

Dr. Hampton

of the Monroe County General Hospital in East Strouds­burg, Pa. Here he stayed until 1941. During this periodhe took postgraduate training in Cardiology and Anes­thesiology at the Graduate Hospital and the Universityof Pennsylvania.

"The war years he spent with the U.S. Army at theStation Hospital, Camp Lee, Va., the First EvacuationHospital, and the Walter Reed Hospital. He completedhis training in Anesthesiology in 1945-46 at the Hart­ford Hospital , Hartford, Conn. From 1946-55 he pro­gressed from the rank of Instructor to that of AssociateProfessor of Anesthesiology at Yale University Schoolof Medicine . During this period he was Attending Anes­thesiologist at the New Haven Community Hospital, andConsultant in Anesthesiology at the W est Haven Vet­erans Administration Hospital and the Milfo rd Hospital- all in Connecticut. Jefferson was most fortunate in ob­taining him as Professor and Head of the newly createdDepartment of Anesthesiology on July 1, 1955.

a man of achievements" Professionally, Professor Hampton has many achieve­

ments. He was certified by the American Board ofAnesthesiology in 1947. He belongs to many medicalsocieties including the American Society of Anesthesi­ologists and the International Anesthesia Research Soci­ety. He has contributed extensively to medical literature.He is past-president of the Connecticut State Society ofAnesthesiologists and the Philadelphia Society of Anes­thesiologists. Currently, he is Chairman of the Anesthe­sia Study Commission of the Philadelphia CountyMedical Society and Director of the American Societyof Anesthesio logists representing Pennsylvania. He hashad several tours of active duty in the U.S. ArmyReserve since World War II and holds the rank ofColonel, M.e., USAR (Retired).

"He is married to the most charming former ElinorDunbar. He has two daughters, one son, and six grand ­children. He lives in Penn Valley but spends much ofhis time at his Mountain Paradise, a once-abandonedSO-acre farm in the Poconos, to which he has given thepoetic name of Whippoorwill Hill but which his friendscall a "pile of rock". Here he has numerous seedlingevergreens which someday he hopes to sell, an ice-coldswimming pool which he never uses, a great variety ofbirds and wild flowers concerning which he knowsprecious little, and a rampant crop of weeds aboutwhich he does nothing.

"On Th anksgiving, 1963, he was in a serious end­to-side automobile accident near Wilmington, Delaware.

Dr. Sodeman and Mr . Largereview th e program.

He came out of it with a wrecked car, a fractured jaw,an injured wrist, and (by his own admission) a deple­tion of some of the few remaining Betz's cells of hiscerebral cortex. His greatest frustration, in the ensuingweeks, was not the material destruction, not the financialloss, and not, no, not even the physical pain. It was hisinability to express himself in his usual, uninhibited,colorful manner. You see, his jaw was wired and, for thefirst time since he was an infant, he could speak only inmuffled tones."

the titleDr. Hampton prefaced his speech with an explana­

tion of the title's origin . "Several weeks ago when theDean 's office, in its usual bill collector fashion, hadserved me with final notice for a title of this address, Isought the advice of one of Jefferson's scholars. Hisresponse was, 'Name it anything. No one ever listens tothese speeches. Don't tell me you do !' Unexpectedthough it was, this advice was none the less heartening,and when I came upon this legend from the bookplateof a great Scottish writer, I submitted it as the title,confident no one 'before me had used it on a similaroccasion. But as the day of reckoning neared whensomething had to be written beneath it, the implicationsof the title seemed too obvious. How often have medicalstudents , and new ones at that, been admonished to burnthe midnight oil ! And what physician has not figur­atively burned the candle at both ends while cautioninghis patients not to do so! Indeed, the physician's lot is

one of work, and in service to his fellow man he, likethe candle, may be consumed. This is the connotationone might apply to the .title, but since I am frequentlyaverse to performing as expected, and fortified by ourmedical librarian's authoritative statement that no onelistens anyway, I shall proceed on a different tack.

"In the short time allotted this evening let us lookat this burning candle-MEDICINE-and record afew of our observations. If sufficient detail is lacking inany of them it be the result of lack of time, or the in­ability of the observer adequately to perceive.

the flame

"Obvious to each of us is the flame, or at least thatpart of it which gives off light, and who of us in thisgathering of the elite would deny this represents thephysician ! If the function of the candle is to producelight, so the function of MEDICINE is to providehealth, and the ultimate purveyor of health is the phy­sician,"

Dr . Hampton continued, pointing out, "While medi­cal schools and specialty groups have often been blamedfor the decline in numbers of general practitioners, anenlightened public (the consumer) has added to thetrend by turning to specialists in increasing numbers,

Mr. Bodin erealizing that no one man can encompass all of medicine.Therefore, it is likely that the best medical care can beprovided by groups ( in which a so-called 'generalist'may play an important role) : in groups, be they inclinics, in community hospitals, or in the more complexmedical centers.

paramedical personnel

"There is another part of the flame which we all toooften ignore because it glows less noticeably. And yet itis the base, an integral part of the flame. Th is representsthe paramedical personnel-nurses, administrators, tech­nicians, to name but a few. Think how ineffective, or atleast inefficient, is our service to patients in face of tre­mendous nursing shortages. All you need to have thisbrought home to you is to be a patient in th is or any of

a hundred similar hospitals, in this country or abroad.Some years ago, on a similar occasion, Dr. ThaddeusMontgomery suggested the drafting of young womeninto nursing, as young men are drafted into militaryservice. I like the way Alan Gregg stated the case: 'Ido not find any cogent arguments against such a resolu­tion of the present immense prob lem of nursing care;the psychological resistance and the emotional resent­ment would be real, but just what do young women doin return for citizenship?'

" It is high time that we gave more recognition tothese so-called ancillary, or paramedical personnel. Th ehealth 'industry' is the third largest in the nation interms of numbers of peop le employed, and of these,physicians count for less than ten per cent. Since somuch of the work of MEDICINE is done by peoplewho are not physicians, it is only reasonable to assumethat impro vement of the training of these peop le willresult in better service at all levels. W e should welcomethem as colleagues if we want them to go on sharingwith us that very important professional code accordingto which the patient's interests come first.

the wick

"Coming next to the wick, I shall say it representsthe educational facility-medical school, teaching hos­pital-for from it the flame is propagated. And if youprotest the likeness does not do justice to the role ofeducation in medical care, please remember how muchis buried from view, and how vital is the role of thatwhich is visible in determining the amount of lightwhich is produced. (I shall not dwell on the observa­tion that as the candle burns the wick gradually bends .Perhaps this is related to the current frenzy of revisingcurricula! )

"Students today, more than ever before, are presentedwith an amazing array of facts. Th ere is always thedanger that in trying to absorb them, they will not allottime to learn the principles by which these facts areapplied in service to man. The faculty has an obligationto inculcate in the student a scientific method of thoughtand to stimulate him to use this so that he may learn forhimself and continue to do so throughout his professional

career. I doubt this can be done effectively in a systemwhere every student is expected to be exposed to thesame facts and where he is graded numerically on hisability to spew back these facts in a written examination .Moreover, I think the student is denied a worthwhileexperience in motivation to self education when his timefor an elective is limited to that allotted for vacation orto a paltry hour on a Saturday morning.

the tallow

"And finally we come to the tallow, or wax, whichserves as the source material from which combustionand the flame are derived. This is, first of all, knowl­edge. Knowledge acquired over centuries and painstak­ingly incorporated in our way of life ; and knowledgeacquired in recent day research, piled in mountains ofcharts and graphs and computer tape, that we have notyet begun to understand. This tallow also is money andeffort-financial support, private and public-by whichteachers and investigators acquire knowledge and trainothers who apply it in service.

what dims the flame

"In this allegorical exercise I have had to gloss overmany observations which were worthy of more commentbecause time-or rather lack of it-demanded someobeisance to brevity. I cannot close, however, withoutconsidering one additional phenomenon of the burningcandle. Wh at substance when lacking prevents combus­tion, and when present in low supply dims the flame?Oxygen. W e do not see it, yet we know it must be there.

"And in MEDICINE, what ? At the level of the indi­vidual, understanding; not only care of, but care for thepatient. To be scientific one need not be impersonal inhis relationship with people who come to him for help,and indeed he must be interested in the social, culturaland humane factors in disease. Fragmentation of knowl­edge with pursuit of excellence in one's field may makeit difficult for some specialists to comprehend man as acomplete living entity, responsive to his environment,

but this is no excuse for showing a lack of human kind­ness in serving him.

"And if at the individual level there must be under­standing, as a group we must remember that we havean unwritten contract with society which delegates to usthe responsibility for help ing it cope with individualand collective health problems. We see in the evolutionof man's social and political conscience a view of medi­cine as a funct ion of the whole of society and as suchtranscends the proprietary interests of the practicing pro­fessions, hospitals and educational institutions. There isgenuine concern, with our profession and certainly else­where, that what MEDICINE knows is not matched bywhat MEDICINE does for society.

the problems

"Let me illustrate, briefly, by naming some of theproblems confronting us in providing total medicalcare.

"We are reminded constantly of the increasing cost,and find much of this due to rising costs of hospitaliza­tion. Most of this is unavoidable, but consider the im­pact of the rise of several small prop rietary hospitals,built not so much for service as for profit. Consider, also,the factor of rivalry among larger institutions in theduplication of expensive services that might better beconcentrated in one.

"The impact of the nursing shortage has been de­scribed.

"Our profession has the responsibility of bringing thehighest quality medical care to every person at a priceeach can pay. To do this raises problems that cannot besolved by the medical profession alone, but we shouldassume leadership in trying to find a solution. The offi­cial spokesman for . American Medicine, the AmericanMedical Association, once socially progressive, has, since19 20 , been repeatedly reactionary in its socioeconomicpolicy. It attacked successively group practice, voluntarypre-payment plans for hospitalization and then medicalcare (Blue Cross and Blue Shield) until each hadachieved success. This is not to condemn its stand againstthe King-Anderson bill, but rather a plea to make suchbills unnecessary by assuming a more positive approachin trying to meet the needs of society.

"And now, lest I, too, be condemned for being nega­tivistic, in that I have emphasized problems, please ac­cept them as challenges-something to make you think.We, your elders, need your help . We 'll let you in onthe mysteries of the aspirin tablet, if you'll help find aplan to finance medical care for the aged.

"Oh yes, The title. The bookplate of Thomas Carlyleshows a burn ing candle beneath which is the simplelegend: 'I burn that I may be of use.' ..

President William A. Bodine, Jr ., in his introductoryremarks, stated that the freshman class numbers 176and represents the top seven per cent of the more than2,300 applicants. The members of the class come from15 states and Puerto Rico and include representativesof 69 different colleges. Twelve are sons of formerJefferson graduates.

financial obligations

Referring to the financial obligations of the student ,he commented that Jefferson is able to provide the stu­dents with the finest medical education for a tuitioncharge of 1,300 annually-as compared to the actualcost per student which is in excess of $6,100, exclusiveof the sponsored research projects carried out by mem­bers of the Faculty.

He told the freshmen that during their four years atJefferson they would witness the implementation ofJefferson's $41 million development program, first withthe construction of 'the new Basic Science-StudentCommons building followed by the residential facilities.

Following Mr. Bodine's remarks, Dr. William A.Sodeman, Dean and Vice President for Medical Affairs,told the audience, "Opening Session is always an excit­ing time to me. To welcome 165 young men and 11

young women into the lifelong study of Medicine is avery significant' event. To add to this a welc.ome to 42students working in the Basic Sciences for their Mastersand Ph.D . degrees lets one know how far-reaching ouractivities in the health centers at Jefferson really are. Justlast Saturday, at the School of Nursing graduation cere­monies, 74 young ladies passed into active participationin patient care, and this last July 1 we welcomed 23interns and 143 residents and fellows into a new yearof activity. Over 5000 physicians in practice werereached by Jefferson's Continuing Education programsthis past year, and we expect this group to be greater inthe year just starting.

"To the 26 of you who represent the first activity, inthe Medical College, of our accelerated program withThe Pennsylvania State University, we extend a heartywelcome also. Th is is the first time, in Jefferson history,and indeed as far as I know in any organized program,in which studen ts, registered in two colleges at one time,have pursued courses unrelated to medicine. If thePresident and Trustees express some excitement aboutyour prog ram, you can understand the exhilaration feltby those of us on the Faculty who conceived, nurtured,and brought it into being.

changes in the faculty

"The second funct ion of the Dean at Opening Ses­sion, beside giving words of greeting, is to let you knowof the additions to and changes in our faculty in thepast year.

"Our Faculty now consists of 875 members, not in­cluding the House Officers (i nterns, residents, andfellows) who participate actively in the teaching pro­gram as well. W ith 875 Faculty members and 657 un­dergraduate students you can see that our teaching pro­gram becomes an intimate one, despite the relativelylarge size of Jefferson as a Medical College. We hope tomake it more so."

undergraduate awards

Mr. James M. Large, Chairman of the Board ofTrustees, then presented the Undergraduate Awards:PHYSIOLOGY PRIZE to Russell Paul Seda with Hon­orable Mention to Lyndon Edwin Mansfield; AN A­TOMY PRIZE to Harvey Jay Sugarman; AMERICANCANCER SOCIETY PRIZES, First Prize to Lewis AllenKirshner and Second Prize to Dr. David Paul Shreiner(Class of 1964); THE BENJAMIN LEE GORDONPRIZ E to Bruce W arren Weissman.

In addition to the speakers, Mr. Brandon Barringer,Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Board ofTrustees, Mr. Revelle W. Brown, Member of the Board,Mr. Kenneth R. Erfft, Vice President and Treasurer ofThe Jefferson Medical College and Medical Center, Dr.Robert B. Nye, Associate Dean, and Dr. Samuel S.Conly, Jr ., Assistant Dean, were seated on the stage.

Following the exercises in McClellan Hall, the faculty,the freshmen class, their parents, friends, and relativeswere entertained at a recept ion in the Library.

Jefferson•in

PuertoRico

by Gon zalo E. Aponte, M D., Class of 1952and Associate Professor of Pathology

SINCE the practice of medicine in Puerto Rico is amirror of American medical practice, it reflects well

the splendid contribution Jefferson has made to the lat­ter. A total of 65 Puerto Ricans have received theirmedical degrees at Jefferson, the first one in 1874. Threeothers are presently medical students and one of them,Miss Isabel Saldana (' 67) , is the first Puerto Ricanwoman to study medicine at Jefferson. Forty-eight ofthese graduates are living, and 35 of them reside in theisland. The formation of a medical school by the Uni­versity of Puerto Rico has reduced the number of collegegraduates who leave the island to study medicine. Therewere no Puerto Ricans in the graduat ing classes of1957 to 1960, the longest period of time since 1904during which none graduated from Jefferson. This de­crease has been noted mainly in the number of applica­tions from students who study college at the Uni versityof Puerto Rico. During the years 1921 to 1951, 61 percent of the Puerto Ricans who graduated from Jeffersonattended college in the island; whereas 64 per cent ofthose who have entered Jefferson since 1952 graduatedfrom American colleges. Many different schools arerepresented in the list of Puerto Rican alumni who at­tended American colleges. Since 1921, a total of 16alumni have graduated from 14 different colleges-two

16

from Georgetown , two from Frankl in and Marshall, andone each from Loyola (Chicago), George W ashington,Penn State, Dickinson, Catholic U., Baylor, Villanova,U. Richmond , Ursinus, Amherst, Mt. St. Mary's (Md.),and Yale. The three Puerto Ricans who are now medicalstudents at Jefferson attended Georgetown University,Goucher College and Dartmouth College. Many otherPuerto Rican physicians, grad uates of other medicalschools, have taken their internships, residencies or fel­lowships at Jefferson. Th eir names are not included herebecause the list we have is not complete.

Six alumni have sons who also graduated from Jeffer­son-I ) Dr . Enrique G. Matta ('12) and son Enrique1. ('40); 2) Dr. Nicolas Sanabria (' 12) and sonsArturo ('52 ) and John ('52); 3) Dr. Armando Garda­Soltero (' 16) and son Armando ('43 ); 4) Dr. CalixtoRodriguez (' 17) and sons Roberto (,48) and Hector(' 49); 5) Dr. Mario Fernan dez ('24) and son Manuel('53); and 6) Dr. Antonio Ramos-Oller ('36) whoseson Anton io is in the Senior Class. Another group ofbrothers also graduated from Jefferson-Dr. Frank Veve(,4 2) and his brother Juan (, 49 ) .

Th e above map shows the location of Jefferson graduates in Puerto Rico.

•The types of medical practice of the living alumni

are listed below. Although more physicians are engagedin general practice than in any single specialty, manykinds of specialization are represented. Jefferson becameknown in Puerto Rico during the first two decades ofthis century through the competence of the early alumni,family doctors whose dedication and integrity earned forthem prestige and the admiration of all. They set theexample and were the mold" in which the subsequentalumni were cast. The latter , in maintaining these highstandards , have brought additional honor to their AlmaMater. Their professional activities extend beyond theirprivate medical practices to include teaching, research,public health , administration and the multiple socio­economic problems of the community. Jefferson has donewell for them and they have done well for Jefferson.

Solomon Solis-Cohen,Doctor and Poet

The follo wing article was written b),0,'. Edward C. Britt,Class of 1933. It is the story of a manwho blended th e teachings of Hippocrateswith the art of the .Muses.

SPIRIT UALITY is a noun defined as pertaining to themind or spirit, as distinguished from matter, or

pertaining to the soul or higher nature of man. Spiritualthen, indeed, is the mood that suffuses the mere matter,the bricks and mortar that constitute the Jefferson Medi­cal College. At night, especially, as she stands silently,softly breathing, one senses her in contemplation of anhistoric past, musing upon a vigorous present, visualiz­ing a greater future. Non-profit, non-sectarian, her only"Raison D'Etre" the production of Medical Doctors, ofwhom long ago Homer said "A physician is worth manyother men." Looking upward one is awed that rela­tively so small an institut ion could exert so world widean influence.

Perhaps it is an awe engendered by thoughts of thosehistoric figures delivered from the womb of their AlmaMater, Samuel D. Gross, S. Weir Mitchell, W . W. Keen,J. Marion Sims, Carlos Juan Finlay, Thomas Addis

20

Emmet, ad infinitum and indicative of her continuingfertility and ability to produce greatness, John H. Gib­bon, Jr.

Perhaps she stands in the darkness as a fosteringMother, meditating upon her great sons' importance inthe founding of nine medical schools among whom wereLevi Cooper Lane and Richard Beverly Cole of the Uni­versities of Stanford and California , respectively, andother distingu ished offspring, who make her content tobathe in the reflected glory of their own great achieve­ments.

Perhaps she is looking down upon the one hundredand forty years of her countless, unheralded but heroicsons, in hamlets throughout the world who "Cure some­times, relieve often , and comfort always" (HobartAmory Hare) .

Perhaps these are the things that inspire her Alumnibody to make it the country's most loyal, which in re-

cent homage to two of its own, bestowed its annualachievement award upon Louis H. Clerf, distinguishedemeritus professor of Broncho-Esophagology and Henry1. Bockus, world renowned Gastroenterologist. The lat­ter, upon accepting the award said "Of all the honorsI have received, this one I covet the most, from my firstlove, my Alma Mater ."

Reflecting upon these thoughts and events it is notwithout wonder that so many Alumni are so dedicatedand equally as moving is the same devotion found in somany of Jefferson's great adopted sons, Thomas McCrae,whose brother John composed "In Fland ers Fields", thelate Martin E. Rehfuss and J. Parsons Schaeffer, to men­tion a few. Sons who not only fell under the spell ofour Alma Mater but infused a new loyalty and spiritu­ality into it.

the adopted and the actualBeautifully and uniquel y illustrative of the crystalli­

zation of the loyalty and spirituality of the adopted andthe actual Alumnus were the brothers Solis-Cohen-Dr.Jacob Da Silva ( 1838-1927 ) M.D. 1860, the Universityof Pennsylvania, pioneer Laryngologist, "The N estor ofAmerican Laryngology" , military surgeon and until thetime of his death active in the affairs of the JeffersonAlumn i Association ; and, the subject of this article, Dr.Solomon ( 1857-1948 ) M.D. 1883, the Jefferson Medi­cal College.

Solomon Solis-Cohen, M.D. , Sc.D., D.H.L., physician,poet, scholar, scientist, who made original contributionsin each field and who "Represented the Confluence ofhis ancestry," was born in Philadelph ia on September 1,1857, a descendent of a colonial pre-revolutionary fam­ily. A remnant of a letter written by his grandfather,Mr . David Hays, in which can be made out the words"When the enemy came to Bedford and burned myhouse on July 2nd, 1778" refers to a Revolut ionary W arincident in w~ich the Hays home in Bedford, We st­chester County, New York, was destroyed by the Tori esand the British under Lieutenant Colonel Tarleton. Oneweek later they set fire to the entire village. DoctorSolomon Solis-Cohen received his B.S. from the CentralHigh School here and his M.A. five years later. Upongraduation, at the age of fifteen, he delivered the honoressay "The Study of the Physical Sciences" at Central's68th semi-annual commencement held on July 3rd , 1872." It was somewhat pond erous," he recalled at the age ofeighty-two. He took up bookkeeping for the next eightyears but becoming disenchanted with debits and creditshe rejected this disciplin~ and thereafter never kept any

accounts. " I decided that I' d get along better in medi­cine. My brother Jacob, twenty years my senior, who hadserved in the Civil W ar (wi nning three decorations forvalor and fifty years later, the Congressional Medal ofHonor, ed.) was a noted laryngologist. I asked him fora chance. In those days a medical student started withpractice not theory. He entered a Doctor's office, wentto the hospital with him and learned first hand."

He began his medical career in 1884 as Chief Clin icalAssistant to the Out-Patient Department of JeffersonHospital. His first appoi ntment to the faculty was in1885 as lecturer on special therapeutics. In 1888 he wasmade clinical lecturer on medicine, in 1902 assistantprofessor of clinical medicine and from 1904 to 1927,professor of clinical medicine, becoming emeritus pro­fessor in 1927.

Dr. Solis-Cohea was a prodigious worker and a pro­lific writer and while these dates represent forty-threeyears of devotion to his profession they by no meansencompass his medical accomplishments, nor do theygive any insight into the spiritual nature of this greatman which ran concurrently and as an integral part ofhis scientific achievements. W hile describing vasomotorataxia for example, he was at the same time capable ofcomposing "Fo r I Know That My Redeemer Liveth"," 0 Love, I Cried, Thou Saidst Thy Path Was StrewnWith Roses" , "Love Called Me Not Away" and thecharm ing "Soft W hite Hands That Touch My Cheek" .Th is latter poem referred to his son, D. Hays Solis­Cohen, aetat eleven mont hs. A distinguished son of adistinguished father, Mr. Solis-Cohen is now a Phila­delphia lawyer and a member of the board of trusteesof the Jefferson Medical College.

So many and varied were Dr. Solis-Cohea's activitiesthat it is impossible to list all of them here. A bibli­ography of his writings and addresses consisting ofeighty-four pages of fine print, emphasizes this difficulty.Thi s was the last work of the late Edward D. Colemanwho held this effort close to his heart. A.great admirerof Dr. Solis-Cohen he considered this arduous compila­tion a labor of love.

highlights of his careerN evertheless a resume of his career, by Dr. Augustus

A. Eshner, touching upon some of its highlights, isherewith presented .

In addit ion to his forty-three years at Jefferson he wasProfessor of Clinical Medicine and Th erapeutics at thePhiladelph ia Polyclinic and Graduates in Medicine andphysician to its Hospital from 1887 to 1902. He was

21

lecturer on Therapeutics at the Medic al School of Dart­mouth College from 1890 to 1893; physician to thePh iladelph ia General and Jewish Hospitals from 1887to 1927, and thereafter consulting physician; physicianto the Rush Hospital from 1890 to 1920; and consultingLaryngologist to the Pennsylvania Institution fo r theFeeble-Minded at Elwyn, 1894- 1895.

He also served as consulting physician to the Pennsyl­vania State Hospital for the Insane at Norristown from1900 to 1924. He was a member of the Board of Man­agers of the Muni cipal League of Philadelphia from1893 to 1896 . He was one of the founders of the N a­tional Tuberculosis Association in 1904. He was a trusteeof the United States Pharmacopeial Convention from1920 to 1940. He was a member of the PhiladelphiaBoard of Education from 1925 to 1943, and to thedeliberations and activities of th is body he made wiseand constructive contributions. His memory is perpetu­ated in the Solomon Solis-Cohen Elementary PublicSchool. He served as Director of the School of Designfor Women from 1927 to 1930 .

Dr. Cohen was a member of many and varied learned,cultu ral and scientific organizations at home and abroad,and he held official positions in a number. He was Presi­dent of the Philadelphia County Medical Society in1898 and 1899, and became a Fellow of the Collegeof Physicians in 1888 . He was awarded the HonoraryDegree of Doctor of Hebrew Literature by the JewishTheological Semin ary of America in 1926, the HonoraryDegree of Doctor of Science by Jefferson Medical Col­lege in 1933, and the same Degree by the Phil adelph iaCollege of Pharmacy and Science in 1939.

vasomotor ataxia

S. Solis-Cohen was the first to recognize in 1885 theinterrelationship of the g roup of disorders which henamed vasomotor ataxia or autonomic imbalance. In1892, he gave a description of that conditi on, the first in

.medical literature. Vasomotor ataxia is a form of auto­nomic ataxia causing irregul arities in the peripheral cir­culation marked by alterations of the powers of vasocon­striction and vasodilation of the smaller blood vessels,or a lack of co-ordination between the sympathetic andparasympathetic nervous system.

He showed that it und erlied many puzzling disorderspreviousl y attributed to " Idiosyncrasies" including hayfever, eczema, asthma, hives, and Graves Disease. Hepointed out the connection of autonomic disturbanceswith disturbed fun ctions of the glands of internal secre­tion and the dependence of its various groups on special

22

excitants, a phenomenon since termed "Allergic Reac­tion. "

He advocated hydrotherapy III the treatment of ty­phoid fever as well as hydrotherapy in general. Th eseand kindred methods, electrotherapy, pneumotherapy,climatotherapy, serotherapy, radiography, suggestion andmenta l therapy , together with hygienic and preventativemeasures formed the themes of his "System of Physio­logic Therapeutics" 1900-1905 in eleven volumes. Hewas one of the first to use endocrines as medicaments. Th usthe use of adre nal and pituitary products in asthma, hayfever, hives, and like disturbances was first advocated byhim . His pharmacotherapeut ics (co-autho r), a 2,000 pagetreatise, contains in addi tion to a tho rough expositio n ofthe pr inciples of medicine, a full discussion of the his­tory, properties and uses of virtually all drugs of provedworth .

poet and translatorDr. Solis-Cohen was an ardent student of Hebrew and

was taught by masters of th is ancient language. He trans­lated the works of medieval poets and his translation ofthe poems of Moses Ibn Ezra, Hebrew medieval poet ofSpain , is famous among scholars. Other translations ofancient Hebrew poems into Engli sh revived masterpiecesof Jewish culture that otherwise may have been lost.

Poet ry was his hobby. "But I wasn't a very good poet ,"he said, "I only rhymed when I felt like it." Th is state­ment is characteristic of the hum ility of the man. Hispoem "W hen Love Passed By" originally appeared inScribner's magazine in 1888, then in literally hundredsof other publ ication s and was translated into 23 foreignlanguages. On e of his poems, the famous "For I KnowMy Redeemer Liveth," was reprinted by John GreenleafW hittier in his anthology Songs of Three Centuries.

A collection of his poems and oth er verses, includingtranslations from Hebrew poets of the Middle Ages,was published und er the tit le of "W hen Love PassedBy," in 1929 . This includes among other poems alreadyment ioned , "In Her Eyes," "Love is the Best of Life"and the beautiful "Wake My Darl ing From Thy Slum­bers ,"

A collection of his writings und er the title Judaismand Science and Oth er A ddresses was privately printedin 1940 by Mr. A. S. W. Rosenbach, famous collectorof rare books and manuscripts and publi shed by hisfr iends in honor of his eighty-second birthday, Septem­ber 1, 1939.

The articles therein range f rom the title piece "Ju­daism and Science" to "Franklin, the Ph iladelph ian" and

there is no conflict

He dealt with the alleged conflict between scienceand religion . "There is no conflict" he contended. Hestudied Darwin, Huxley, Spencer and other evolution­ists and pointed out that a belief in a creative diety wasnot inconsistent with science. He felt that science con­flicted only with dogmatic theology for which he hadno taste. "Out of the Beast Have W e Risen; But Mark,We Have Risen." (s.s.-c)

In national politics he fought the demand for an im­pierialist policy for the Uni ted States and defendedfreedom for the Philippines. "A good deal of the diplo­macy of today can be described," he said "in Napoleon'swords 'Those lies agreed upon' ." In local politics hejoined reform movements and battled the organization.In economics he wrote and argued in favor of the singletax theory of Henry George. "If George's doctrineswere put into effect there would be no need for a so­called planned economy."

He was skeptical of the agitation for socialized medi­cine. He said, "Anything that would bring scientificmedicine under government control or that would makethe government the dictator of medical practice, wouldbe a great misfortune to science, the physician and thecountry at large."

At eighty-two he was hesitant about how to reach thisage. "I'm afraid my long life came about throug h violat­ing all the rules I laid down for others . I have alwaysbelieved in moderation even in following rules."

Du ring his medical career he had as pat ients, RamsayMacDonald, ex-Prime Min ister of England, Paul DuChaillu, African explorer and Reginald Wright Kauff­man, novelist. The latter two men dedicated books tohim.

paying his debt

At the age of eighty-two he became restricted to officework and consultations. He wanted to conserve his en­ergy for his work as a member of the Board of Educa­tion. "By continui ng as a member of the Board I'mtrying to pay my debt for my education in Philadelph iapublic schools." As a member of the Board (1925-1943)he was influential in the adoption of Diphtheria immu­nization in the public schools. As President of the Ph ila-

delphia County Medical Society ( 1898 and 1899) hewas instrumental in introduc ing effective filtration inthe Philadelphia water supply, thus markedly reducingthe incidence of typhoid fever.

Th ere were many things he would have enjoyed dur­ing his life but he couldn't find time for them. "Onemust accept life as it comes. Naturally every man thinksof projects he would like to carry out. He gets wonder­ful ideas but there isn't time to do anything about themand they vanish. I have no especial plans for the future(he was then eighty-two). I haven't set any age I'd liketo attain. I live in the day and look forward to the fu­ture calmly." Dr. S. Solis-Cohen died on July 12th,1948, at the age of ninety, of Parkinson ism and Bron­chopne umonia .

Dr. Augustus A. Eshner, a colleague of Dr. Solis­Cohen and fellow Jeffersonian, class of 1888, has writ­ten the following beautiful memorial to him.

a poet of charm

"He was a poet of charm and grace, with a strengthof beauty and imagery and expression. H is verse hasfound a permanent place in literature.

"Dr. Cohen's artistic faculty found outlet in work inpastel and in painting in oil at a period when relaxationof the pressure from professional obligations permittedits exercise.

"The. declining years of his life were clouded by acruel and progressive malady that brought physical dis­ability, without obscuring the native clarity of his mindor repressing the vital buoyancy of his spirit.

"D r. Cohen was an ornament to his profession and apillar of strength in the divers fields in which he exer­cised his talents. He was a keen and critical observer ofclinical phenomena, an acute and discerning diagnos­tician, a sympathetic and helpful consultant and a re­sourceful therapeutist of wide horizon . He was a per.suasive and convincing teacher, who kept fully abreastof the advances in his field of activity and maintaineda lively interest in his students,

"He was to many, equally of low degree as of highestate, the beloved physician. A beacon of cheer and ofhope, a token and a symbol of escape and recovery, abulwark of defense in the face of sickness and adversity.

"D r. Cohen was a man of exalted intellectual caliberand statu re, both quantitatively and qual itatively, and heexerted an elevating and forward looking influence inthe spheres of activity in which he participated. He waspossessed of strong convictions and fort ified with the

23

courage to stoutly proclaim and defend them."He had a passion for precision and truth and for

justice and right, in practice and in principle. He waseloquent and forceful in the written and in the spokenword and his diction attained a high degree of perfec­tion. He had a profound interest and at times took anactive part in civic and communal affairs and always onthe side of progress and reform.

"Dr. Cohen represented the confluence of his ances­try. To his descendants he has transmitted the custodyof a precious heritage tenderly to be cherished."

In addition to the detail from Thomas Eakins shownherein there is a portrait of the distinguished Doctor inMcClellan Hall, presented to Jefferson by his friends in1929. It was painted by Maurice Molarsky.

Dr. Leon Solis-Cohen, a Jefferson alumnus, class of1912, has graciously provided, together with many of

the works from which this material was taken, a poemof his father's, dictated a few days before his death :

THROUGH THE SHADE

Why dost thou tremble and shudderMy soul, shrinking back as in fear?Danger nor toil hath appalled theeIn all the long journey till here.Let not thy courage forsake thee,o soul, now the end draws near.

o Body-the shadow, the valley!My soul, keep thy path undismayed;'Tis the hillslope of Life casts the shadow­And there shall my footsteps be stayed;But beyond, shines for thee Light Eternal­o soul, to the Light through the shade.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PARTICIPATE

IN SECOND BIO-SCIENCE PROGRAM

AT the request of Mr. Allen Platt, co-ordinator of£l. science teaching of the Philadelphia Board ofEducation, the Physiology Department during the sum­mers of 1963 and 1964 conducted ten-week programsof laboratory work in biomedical science for the highschool student.

The purpose of the program was to provide educa­tional stimulation and experience for outstanding stu­dents by means of direct contact with investigators.Increased co-operation between the nation's colleges andthe high schools in arranging science education curriculahave enabled colleges to early recognize students withhigh scholastic potential. Such programs are well withinthe abilities of the student, even when they are of quiteadvanced nature, and serve to channel the students intoareas of interest with which they come to identify them­selves.

Both summers, twelve students from the 11th and12th grades were selected by the science teachers of

24

their respective high schools. Selection was made fromthe top students in each class. Participating were studentsrepresenting most of the high schools in Philadelphia,as well as several in the suburbs and New Jersey. (Eachstudent, incidentally, was covered by an accident insur­ance policy in the amount of 1000 at a premium of$2.00 per student.)

The high school students were distributed among staffmembers to form teams. 'Each team consisted of a staffmember, a Ph.D. graduate student and/or a medicalstudent, a college pre-medical student, and one or twohigh school students. The high school students learnedthe literature background, the pUlpose of each experi­ment, and technical details of the operative procedures.Each became quite proficient in the handling of animalsand the use of equipment. The high school student cameto be a junior member of the research project team anddid not consider his duties to be merely technical.

At the close of each session, the students have written

reports on the particular areas explored. They presentedtopics such as "The Use of Monomer 'Glue ' in Surgery"(Michael Cohen, Cherry Hill High School, 1963),"Local Anesthetics and Visceral Functions" (JosephHarabin, Central High School, 1963), "The Effect ofTissue Extracts on the Healing of Stomach Wounds"(Hal Beilan, Central High School, 1964) and "VagalResponse in Dogs" (Madeline Staller, Girls HighSchool, 1964).

Except for the extent of their knowledge, the highschool students conducted their assignments as well asdid most of the medical students. A high level of en­thusiasm was maintained by the high school studentsthroughout the 10-week period. No student was everabsent or tardy, and the staff was gratified by the ma­turity shown by the students.

Expressing his approval on behalf of the Board ofEducation, Mr. Platt said that ". . . the enthusiasticcomments made by the students are a tribute to theexcellence of the program." For a student at the Ben­jamin Franklin High School and two-year participator,the Jefferson program was a stimulation for his careergoal. He said, "The program increased my desire to dowell in school, so that I can go into the field of my choice:'According to Charles Dorfman from Cheltenham HighSchool, "The Jefferson Bio-Science program had twovery important characteristics that made it worth while.. . . These were the independence and responsibilitywhich were allowed. With these, you could work prettymuch on your own and become involved in what you'redoing:'

It is expected that the High School student programwill be continued and expanded next year. "To be ableto co-operate with you for a long time to come," is thehope expressed to Jefferson by the Board of Education.

Alumni Division Realizes 59% of its Goal

CONGRATULATI ON S to the first thousand whohave contrib uted or pledged or indicated that they

would contrib ute a total of $513,452.00 to the AlumniDivision of the Building Fund Drive ! Included in thistotal is a generous gift of $25,000.00 by Mrs. JeromeLouchheim in honor of George Willauer, M.D., oneof your Associate National Chairmen in this BuildingFund Drive. If we add to this half a million dollars,the amount contributed by the Alumni on the Faculty,the grand total amounts to almost three quarters of amillion dollars. More exactly, this grand total roundedout to the nearest thousand amounts to 745,000.00.This represents 59 per cent of our 1,250,000.00 goal.I think we should all be very proud of this record ofthe help that the Alumni are extending to their AlmaMater to help build a magnificent new school and cam­pus. I believe we should be especially proud because1) the campaign was very brief; 2) the Annual AlumniGiving was not interfered with and 3) these contribu­tions were made in spite of heavy p ressure to suppo rtlocal hospitals and charities .

Only a few specially selected Alumni, many of themserving as Area Chairmen, were approached during thefirst three mont hs of our D rive f rom the midd le of De­cember 1963 to the midd le of March 1964, at whichtime the first phase of our Drive was completed. Letterswere then mailed during the last week in March to theAlumni who had not yet been approached. On May 20,1964, a follow-up letter was then sent to the Alumniwho had not yet contributed. Finally, during the last threemonths many Area Chairmen did a magnificent job inapproaching those Alumni in their immediate areas whohave not yet contributed. Thus, in a brief period of ninemonths, we have raised over half a million dollars. Ac­tually, the vast majority of you first heard of the Build­ing Fund Drive only about six months ago on April 1,1964 . To achieve what we have in this lengt h of timeI regard as a magnificent accomplishment.

26

I am proud that we have accomplished what we havedurin g this period of solicitation for the 16th AnnualAlumni Giving. Th is 16th Annua l Alumni Givingtotaled in round figures $177 ,000.00, which is the larg­est amount ever raised at Jefferson in an Annual AlumniGiving Drive, and amounts to over 50 per cent morethan it was five years ago. Some 3,500 of you contrib­uted to this magnificent Alumni Giving and many ofyou may well have been confused by the second appealfor the Building Fund Drive. Nevertheless, a thousandof you responded generously , for which I extend myearnest thanks and congratulations.

Finally, this laudable response was made in spite ofthe pressure from local charitable organizations andlocal hospital drives, to which no practicing physiciancan avoid contributing. For these three reasons especially,I take my hat off to this first thousand.

Plans for the Future

N ow what are the plans for the future? We are abouthalf a mill ion dollars short of our goal, and severalthousand Alumni short of contributors. In view of thebrevity of the drive (for most Alumni it was twomonths, Apri l 1 to June 1, 1964), the National Co­Chairmen, the Campaign Committee and I requested anextension of the time from Mr. Sienkiewicz, the Gen­eral Chairman of the Building Fund Drive. Mr. Sienkie­wicz was agreeable to this. We plan, therefore, to senda letter to all Alumni reporting on the progress of theBuilding Fund Drive, thanking those first thousand fortheir contributions and asking a few more thousand tocontribute so that we can go over the top. After all,since 3,500 Alumni contributed to the last AnnualAlumni Giving D rive, should we not expect at leastanother 2,500 Alumni to give to the Building FundDrive for a greater Jefferson ?

Mr. D. Hay Solis-Coh en, member of theBoard of Trustees, studies plans for theauditorium to be named in his honor in thenew Basic Science- Student Commons Building.Mr . Gustave G. Amsterdam (left) , member ofthe Board, is Chairman of the Solis-Cobentestimonial group which donated more than$100,000 to 1efferson [or this project.Mr. Bodine is shown at right.

I might remind you that this is the first time in over50 years that Alumni have been asked to contribute to aBuilding Fund Drive. I might also emphasize that thisis a capital gifts campaign. The most inexpensive wayof making a capital gift is to give stocks which haveappreciated over the years, and on which you wouldhave to pay a capital gains tax if the securities were sold.In transferring such stocks which have appreciated in

value to Jefferson, it is possible to deduct the marketvalue of the security as a charitable gift on your incometax. Furthermore, no capital gains tax need be paid.

I look forward to a successful windup of our cam­paign with gifts from at least 2,000 more Alumn i, giftsfor a greater Jefferson.

Hare Society Enters 74th Year

"DR. Hare's career demonstrated the inestimablevalue of laboratory training, research and the

spirit of research in laying the foundation for a teacherof the art and science of medicine, for a sound practi­tioner, and for a safe and well-informed consultant. Toall these tasks, faithfu lly performed, he lent a new vi­tality. He believed thoroughly in his mission: to trainmedical students for their careers to be devoted to therelief of human suffering and the prolongation of hu­man life . His own life he lived abundantly; he gaverichly of the best that was in him. He set his distinctive

mark upon our science," commented the distinguishedAmerican Ophthalmologist Dr. G. E. DeSchweinitz onlearning of the death of his close friend Dr. HobartAmory Hare on June 15, 1931.

Dr. Hare's greatness was paid many tributes duringhis lifetime not the least of which was the formation ofthe first continuing undergraduate student organizationin the history of Jefferson- The Hare Honor MedicalSociety-founded in 1891 as The Hobart Amory HareHonor Medical Society in honor of Dr. Hare , thenProfessor of Medicine.

27

To be accepted for membership in the society is anadmirable accomplishment in the life of a student. Anyjunior or senior medical student interested in InternalMedicine may make application, through a written re­quest sent to the Dep artment of Medicine. After review­ing the applicant' s scholastic record, the Departmentnotifies the student if he has been accepted. Once ac­cepted, the student is required to maintain a high levelof participation and achievement in the field of medicineand to partici pate actively in the Society's meetings(which are held monthly with compulsory attendance)in order to remain a member of the Society. Member­ship in the Society is limited to fifty students.

Th e purpose of the Society as stated in its constitu­tion is "to promote the extracurricular, scientific, moral ,ethical and philosophic discussion of the many phases ofthe art and science of Internal Medicine among thestudents." Th e Society is sponsored by Dr. Robert I.Wis e, the Magee Professor of Medicine and Head of theDepartment, who together with the Society's facultyadvisor D r. Joseph Medoff, Assistant Professor of Clin i­cal Medicine, offer active interest and encouragement tothe Society and its members.

Each year two of the Society's monthly meetingsgenerally consist of journ al clubs at which time mem­bers read selected papers and discuss subjects pertainingto Internal Medicine. At other meetings experts in the

various branches of In ternal Medicine, from Jeffersonand other medical centers, are invited to speak beforethe Society. And annually a c.P.c. meeting is held inwhich the case records of a patient are presented anddiscussed.

The year's activities culminate in the Annual LobsterBanquet held in the spring at Old Bookbinders. Themembers then have the opportunity of visiting and ex­changing ideas with members of the faculty, in additionto hearing addresses by eminent men in the field ofMedicine. Included in the list of physicians who havespoken at the banquet are Dr. W illiam B. Castle, theFrancis Weld Peabody Faculty Professor of Medicine ,Harvard Medical School; Dr. W esley Spink, Professorof Medicine, University of Minnesota; and Dr. WilliamBean, Professor of Medicine, Iowa Medical College andEditor of Archives of Internal M edicine, all of whomhold honorary memberships in the Society. In additionto the keynote speaker of the evening, invitat ions areissued to the heads of the Departments of Medicine inthe Ph iladelph ia medical schools.

Th e Society is now entering its 74th year and looksforward to a successful year, success which has a solidfoundation in a proud heritage beginn ing with Dr. Hareand continuing through the years with men like Patter­son, Rehfuss , and Duncan.

The Missing 49 Per Cent

32

JEFFERSON has many great traditions and one of them, of which we are very proud, is the loyalty ofour Alumni as manifested through our 16 years of Annual Giving.Last year 51% of our Alumni sent contributions-but what of the other 49%? W e cannot believe

that this large segment of our graduates is less loyal than those who contr ibuted, yet this is the obviousconclusion. If you were one of the "missing" in last year's Dri ve, we are sure that whatever the reason, itwas not because of lack of affection for Jefferson.

W e know from our years of experience in fund raising that the reasons people fail to contribute arenumerous and varied. Th ey range f rom procrastination , oversight and pressure of local charitable demandsto family responsibilities, illness and actual financial hardship . In only a very few cases do Alumni fail tocontribute because they do not feel the cause is a worthy one. Th ese things we understand- but- we needeach one of you in our all-out Drive for Jefferson!

So, if for any of these many reasons you did not contribute to last year's Drive, please give most seri­ous consideration to sending a gift during the present campaign .

Personal philanthropy in America has been a key factor in maintaining a free society and in no fieldis th is better illustrated than in the field of medicine .

Alumni Annual Giving supplements other income for the increasing budgetary needs at Jefferson.We must have your gifts to help to strengthen the areas essential to effective teaching and learning.

At Jefferson emphasis is being placed on people, programs and facilities-in that orde r. To be a greatmedical school we must have an outstanding faculty, forward-looking prog rams and the best physical plant.We must continue to attract supe rior students for whom there is presently much competitio n. To enableus to excel in all areas, Jefferson badly needs the Annual Giving dollars of each of her Alumni.

We believe most sincerely that, given these facts , our loyal Alumni will respond to our appeals. In­deed, we are so very convinced of this, as well as vitally aware of Jefferson's needs, that we have increasedthe goal for the 17th Drive to $2 00,000.

It is very obvious' that to achieve this truly impressive figure, we must depend on receiving gifts fromthose of you who have not been regular contributors. W e believe these "new" gifts will be forthcoming,for we believe that all Jefferson Alumni will want to be part of the exciting things that are happening atyour College.

The feeling of progress is in the very air here at Jefferson. Our expansion and the changes that aretaking place are not haphazard . Th ey are following well-defined, well-though t-out programs for the bet­terment of the College. But, all of them take money and Jefferson needs some of yours.

Dr. Perkins to Celebrate his Seventieth Birthday

DR. William Harvey Perkins, one of Jefferson's. most beloved and distinguished alumni, celebrates

his seventieth birthday, October 21, 1964. He was bornin Germantown, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Cen­tral Hig h School of Philadelph ia. H~ ente red JeffersonMedical College as a student in 1913, graduating in1917. He completed his internship at the JeffersonMedical College Hospital in 1918 and entered theMedical Corps of the United States Army, serving inFrance.

Early in his career he had two tours of duty in Th ai­land . He served as a medical missionary in the Northernpart of the country from 1919 to 1923, and had a mostinteresting and exciting experience in this medical out­post. Three years later, following service as a RockefellerFoundation fellow in Medical Education, the RockefellerFoundation and the Siamese Government (now Thai­land) offered him the Professorship of Medicine at theFaculty of Medicine at the Chulalongkoun University inBangkok, a position he occupied from 1926 to 1930.

33

For his valuable contributions to medical education inBangkok he was decorated with the high est honor, theOr der of the White Elephant by the King of Siam in1930.

Upon his return to the U.S. in 1930, D r. Perkins wasappo inted Instructor in Medicine at the Tulane Uni ­versity School of Med icine in N ew Orleans and thefo llowing year, with support f rom the CommonwealthFund , a full-time new Departm ent of Preventive Medi­cine was established at Tul ane with Harvey Perkins atits head. Two major accomplishments must be citedfrom the Tul ane era. In 1938 he established a HealthMaintenance Clinic at Tul ane and initiated the teachingof clinical preventive medicine, a tru ly pioneering activoity. In 1938 his textbook Calise and Prevention of Dis­ease was published by Lea and Febiger. A second vol­ume entitled Euolntion and Progress Under N aturalLaw was priva tely published by Dr. Perkins about oneyear ago.

In 1941, Jefferson Medical College called its distin ­guis hed son to return as Dean and as Head of the De­partment of Preventive Medicine, a newly-created de­partment. War time problems of enormous magn itudeconfronted the new Dean, but he discharged both hisadmi nistrative and teaching responsibilities with alacrityand distinction for nearly ten years. Here at Jeffersonhe estab lished a Health Maint enance Clinic, first at FifeHamil Health Cente r and subsequently at the CurtisClinic. He resign ed fro m the Deanship on November 6,1950, but continued as Professor of Preventi ve Medicineand Head of the Department until August 31, 1959,when he became Professor Emer itus of Preventive Medi ­cine.

He has been awarded honorary degrees by Franklinand Marshall College, Dickinson College and Jefferson .The Class of 1917 presented Dr. Perk ins' oil portrait tothe Medical College in 1951, painted by CameronBurn side.

Dr. Perkins is a member of num erous medical soci­eties, and he has been active in the H ealth and WelfareCoun cil of Phil adelph ia and many other local and na­tional medical and civic organizations. H e is frequentlycredited with the planning for the ten D istrict HealthCenters of the City of Phil adelphi a. In August 1958 theSection on Publi c Health , Preventive and Industri alMed icine of the College of Physicians of Ph iladelph iaestablished an annual W ill iam Harvey Perkins award forthe best essay on a subject pertaining to PreventiveMedicine submitted by a student in any of the fivePhiladelphia medical schoo ls.

The decade of H arvey Perkins' Deanship at Jeffersonwas a critical one in the distinguished evolution of thisgreat med ical center. Hi s geniality, seriousness of pur ­pose and scholarly bent left a wonderful imprint on theinsti tution, its faculty and student body. This nativePhil adelphi an has brought great credit to the City ofBrotherly Love and to h is Alma Mater throu ghout hislong professional career.

A dinner in honor of Dr. Perkins' birt hday was givenhim by his f riends and colleagues on October 21st atKugler's Restaurant.

May we all hope to help him celebrat e his eightiethbirthday in 1974.

What Jefferson Has Done For Me

by Harry 117. Baily, MD.Class of 1917

• I MUST say that attending Jefferson Medical College,graduating in 1917, has changed the course of my

whole life . I well remember the freshman year, organicchemistry was added to the course because in 1914 thatsubject was required by the state board; also I rememberDr. Rosenberger's interest in me when he requested thatI spend a day in his laboratory so that he might quiz meon the different elements of the blood. I have never for­gotten that kindness and I must thank him for my re­maining to finish the course.

After g raduation, a year at Frankford Hospital gaveme the opportunity to meet and work under ProfessorCharles Nassau , who after the war began, asked me if Idesired to join the Jefferson Unit Base Hospital 38. Ienlisted, received my first lieutenancy, and was told tosee Professor Coplin, Chief Medical Officer of the Unit.I did and during the interv iew he asked me how muchI knew about medicine and surgery. I assured him Iknew a little and at once he said, " I will accept you forbeing so frank. "

We had our headquarters at the Second RegimentArmory , Broad and Susquehanna, and drilled in Fair­mount Park until we went overseas in the spring of1918, arriving at Nantes, France. Our hospital build ingswere not yet completed. I was assigned to help out theEpiscopal Unit on the other side of Nantes, travellingthere by truck each morning and returning in the eve­ning . Dr . Emory G. Alexander, Dr. John B. Devers' son­in-law, was my chief. There were quite a few knee andelbow cases, badly infected. Dakin solution was theroutine treatment. It was soon noted that some casescoming in did better in the presence of maggots andmolds than with the Dakin solution. Records were keptby Dr. Alexander after using normal saline solution,maggots and mold. After a month, I returned to theJefferson Unit and was told to contact Dr. Alexanderin the States after the war concerning our findings.

The unfortunate occurrence to Dr. Alexander endedthe experiments. Unfortunately, maggots were used andmold was forgotten.

After the Armisti ce, the patient load diminished. Ihad the opportunity to care for all races and colors forcontagious diseases and it was interesting to note howmany contagious diseases were contracted by fraternizingwith the French population, including diphtheria, scarletfever, chicken pox, measles, as well as venereal.

Late in January 1919 relief was coming from theStates and the older men and those with children wereordered home; we single ones had to remain in Europe .

35

Soon post graduate courses were offered by the Y.M.CA.,by universities and hospitals. We had heard so muchabout Edinburgh University and the Royal Infirmarythat three of us- D rs. Louis Englerth, Billy W illiamson,and myself-decided to attend . We soon discovered thatonly university graduates were accepted. W e appealed toDr. Nassau who knew Dr. W . W . Keen was an hono rarymember of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburghand he immediately wrote D r. Keen who verified thefact that Jefferson Medical College was a university since1~35 and we were immediately accepted.

We joined the English Speaking Union and enjoyedthe fellowship of many doctors who served Britain in allparts of the world as well as the good meals at theClub. The spring course finished, we app lied for ad­mittance to the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh- F.R.C.S.E. For the larger part of a week we took allkinds of examinations, did operations, examined speci­mens, slides, and various other tests, and had to identifymany old instruments invented and used by relatives ofthe staff. Some of the questions in the written examina­tion were to secure information from us as to the newermethods used in the States in medicine and surgery. Theusual time for study and experience was five years beforeone felt eligib le to apply for the F.R.C.S.E. I had justtwo years and did so well that I was requested to remainsix months and I was assured I would pass the requiredtests. I again must say thanks to Jefferson for the train­ing I received there.

tea for the Daniels

Many interesting things occurred in Europe and I willcite a few while overseas. After the cessation of theWar, Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels and hiswife visited Edinburgh. We arranged to have a tea forthem. (The Dan iels were teetotalers .) For some reasonafter the greetings, I walked into the room, then occu­pied by the Y.M.C.A., with Mr. and Mrs. Daniels andI must say they were the most gracious couple I evermet. Mrs. Daniels, in the course of our conversation,asked where I lived. I said that I was part of the Jeffer­son Medical College Hospital Unit stationed in Nantes,France, and was going to school in Edinburgh. She im­mediately inquired if I knew Mrs. Eastman and Mrs.Scranton (Governor Scranton's mother) who were Re-

36

publ ican Chairmen of the Auxiliary of their party, andsaid they were dear friends of hers. Mrs. Daniels was aDemocrat (the old saying, politics makes strange bed­fellows). I assured her that I had seen Mrs. Eastmanat the Jefferson Hospital just before I left the States andthat she appeared well. However, I explained that I onlyknew her by sight.

W hen we entered the room, Mrs. Daniels still talk­ing, only a few chairs remained unoccupied in the centerof the gathering. Mr. and Mrs. Daniels motioned me tosit next to them; on either side was the Dean and hiswife. The Dean had just been honored by the King.During the conversation, Mrs. Daniels leaned over andasked me if I remembered the name of the person op­posite us wearing an Alice blue dress, but I saw two,one to the right, the other to the left. I said, "Mrs.Daniels, which lady are you referr ing to, the one to theright or to the left ?" Immediately the newly-elevatedDean's wife informed me that she was was no lady, thatshe was the only Lady --- present and that herhusband, the Dean, was Sir ---. I could have fallenthrough a crack in the floor had there been one.

the diplomatic answer

The next day I saw Secretary Daniels and asked himwhat he thought of the incident the day before and hesaid, "W asn't that awful ?" Still later I was on leave forten days and travelling through London on the way tothe French Riviera, I again met Mr. Daniels and again Iasked him what he thought of the incident and he againgave me the diplomatic answer, "W asn' t that awful ?"

The last time I saw the Daniels was in 1935 whileattending a Rotary convention in Mexico City. Mr.Daniels was then Ambassador to Mexico. I called on himand Mrs. Daniels at the Embassy and was greeted likean old friend. Again I must say they were the mostgracious couple and I am told that F.D.R. always spokeof Secretary Daniels as the Chief, even during his presi­dency. F.D.R. was Assistant Secretary of the Navyunder Daniels during World War I.

Other amusing incidents occurred-one with GeneralDouglas Haig, British Commander, who was in Edin­burgh in February 1919. We were fortun ate enough tomeet him and asked him if he would like to accompanyus to the cemetery just outside Edinburgh on February

12th and make some remarks about Abraham Lincoln.He immediately accepted and about 30 of us marchedbefore the statue of Lincoln and he made a fine address.A few days later the Commander was laureated at theUniversity of Edinburgh and in his remarks he paidglowing tribute to the British tommies who won the war.He was about to finish when he looked up and saw usin a lower box. He hesitated, his face turned a little red,and then he finished by saying we also must not forgetour American cousins from overseas who gave a greatdeal of help and furnis hed supplies.

On one leave to the South of France, I met PrincePierre-Princess Grace Rainier's father-in-law. I alsovisited the then famous Rotunda Hospital in Dubl in,Ireland, and met and listened to anatomist Cunn inghamlecture on anatomy and he gave me a message for Dr.Schaeffer.

returning to the states

Time came to come home in July 1919 and at Ponte­nesien Camp, Brest, France, I met Marine General Smed­ley D. Butler (afterward Director of Public Safety ofPhiladelphia) and did medical duty unti l the next shipwould leave. He tried to persuade me to remain withhim but when the new German liner Zeppelin (cap turedduring the war) was ready to sail for home, I was on it.We were all glad to get back to the States.

At that time Philadelph ia did not appeal to me so Ireturned to my hometown of Tamaqua and entered gen­eral practice, some minor surgery, then EENT, receivedappointments as surgeon for railroads and mining corn­panies. Late~ I was on the staffs of Pottsville Hospi­tal and the State Hospital at Coaldale. Appoi ntmentscame rapidly to the U.S. Veterans Bureau, TamaquaBoard of Health (41 years-21 years as President),numerous compensation insurance companies and medi­cal examiner for many of them. I was made a life mem­ber of Phi Chi medical fraternity, life member of GillMemorial Hospital, Roanoke, Va., for EENT; afterwhich I was made a member of the Pennsylvania Aca­demy of EENT. In 1943 I served as President of theSchuylkill County Medical Society and in 1960 as LehighValley Medical Society President. Governo r Lawrence ofPennsylvania gave me a citation, certificate and a lapel

pin at a banquet for serving over 25 years at the StateHospital, Coaldale.

presidential citation

Fraternally, I am past president of the TamaquaRotary Club (1931), life member of the Elks andMasons and American Legion. I well remember, whenin Paris, Dr. Michael Burns and I went to one of thehotels to help formulate plans for the American Legion.

Since 1939 I have examined enlistees for the ArmedServices and later I was appointed Medical Examinerfo r the local draft board. President Roosevelt threetimes honored me for my uncompensated services andeach time I received an app reciation certificate. Presi­dents Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy also issued meappreciation certificates and each five years a lapel pinwas given me for my aid to the government. This lastcertificate was signed by President Kennedy, GovernorLawrence of Pennsylvania, General Louis B. Hershey,Director of the Selective Service, and State Director ofSelective Service Gross. A letter accompanying regrettedthe omission of a banquet and personal presentationsdue to scattered locations of participants. .

working every day

I also received citations from the Tamaqua RotaryClub and the State Y.M.C A. and certificates andplaques from St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church.

My hobby is working every day, and every secondyear I travel to any part of the world. Many countries ofEurope I visited many times and the only three areas Imissed are Russia, India, and Australia. However, timeis getting late and I think at 71 I should be think ingabout taking up golf.

I must say in all the countries I visited, Jefferson isconsidered the best medical college and usually thefamous men she produced are mentioned, so I am gladI went to Jefferson and I for one will continue to sup­port her and I ask others to do likewise to the best oftheir ability.

CLASS NOTES

Dr. McCelvey is pictured above with his great-grandson.

in establishing King 's Daughters Hospi­tal, endorsing notes for the hospital asso­ciation and donating the hospital's firstoperating room. He also played a majorrole in the establishment of a junior col­lege in Temple. He also found time toimprove himself professionally by visit­ing special clinics and taking postgrad­uate courses. He is a former member ofthe State Health Board and onetimemember and Secretary of the StateBoard of Medical Examiners. He is alsoa fellow of the American College ofSurgeons.

Today Dr. McCeivey's physical activityis diminished but not his interest. Askedwhat advice he would give to youngermen to stay healthy, he says, "Don'teat too much." (By his own admissionhe has always been a hearty eater.) "Nosmoking." (Dr. McCelvey laughinglyadmits he chain-smoked roll-your-ownBull Durham cigarettes until he was 90,ruining many a tie and shirt with hotashes in the process.) In a more seriousvein he says, "I don't know why somany young people die so early today.Of course, the biggest killer of all isheart disease. It must be the strain, thetension, the worry, perhaps soft living.When I was practicing years ago peopleseemed to have a natural immunity thatthey don't have now. They lived simply.As for me, I've always tended to mywork as best I could and not worried."
