Bernheim G. S. Eadie W. E. DeTurk K. E. Penrod W. E. Hull MCC. Goodall, Jr From the opening of the medical school, medical physiology and pharmacology have been taught by the same staff in a manner thought to be favorable to the integration of these two subjects into the medical curricu- lum. Emphasis has been on the presentation of the fundamental principles of these two sciences. ' Dr. George S. Eadie was the first chairman of the department and he was assisted by Dr. Frederick Bernheim and Dr. Forrest D. Mc- Crea in the original organization. Dr. Mc- Donald Dick joined the staff in 1932. Dr. John Dann served as Professor of Nutrition from 1934 until his death in 1948. During the War years Dr. Percy Dawson taught as a Visiting Professor. Dr. Henry Kohn and Dr. Sidney Ellis were also members of the staff during the early postwar years. Dr. William DeTurk joined the staff in 1949. Dr. F. G. Hall became Chairman of the Department in 1949. Dr. Kenneth Penrod was added to the staff in 1950 and Dr. Wayland E. Hull replaced Dr. McCrea upon the latter's resignation in 1953. Dr. Otto Gauer was in the department from 1953-1955. Dr. McChesney Goodall is now in residence as a Visiting Associate Professor of Physiology and American Heart Fellow. Progress in teaching methods has been made along several lines. There has been a gradual change from the teaching of classical animal experiments to a greater emphasis on experi- ments on normal human subjects. There has also been a change in the content and schedule which favors correlation with biochemistry. Nutrition which was taught in this department before the War has been transferred to bio- chemistry. There is now a greater emphasis given to cardiovascular physiology and endoc- rinology. The department has also expanded its teaching program to instruction of nurses, physical therapists and gradute students. Members of the department have been active in research. Some of the research ields have been enzyme and cellular metabolism, mode of drug action, aviation physiology, oxygen toxicity, body fluid balance, heart sounds, endocrine metabolism, regulation of respira- tion, blood preservation, prenatal and postnatal hemoglobin studies, etc. While the number of students has increased and new members have been added to the staff, the amount of research and teaching space has been drastically reduced because of the increasing needs of the hospital for clinical services.

There were fifty-nine faculty members when the School of Medicine opened in 1930. Of these, three were psychiatrists, two, visiting lecturers from other cities, and the third practiced in Durham. The fifty-two first year students obtained sixteen hours instruction in psychobiology. Each of the eighteen third year students received two weeks combined experience in neurology and psychiatry in the Department of Medicine. Medicine's appoint- ment of Doctor Raymond Crispell as an As- sociate Professor in 1933, provided weekly lectures and clinics, instruction in methods of examination, elective work, residency training in psychiatry, and consultation. What is now the Department of Psychiatry was established in 1940. Doctor Robert Carroll had given the Highland Hospital to such a Department. The Rockefeller Foundation fi- nanced the Governor's Commission to study Mental Health in North Carolina, which in 1936, recommended: Duke . . . should become a center for psychiatric training. A . . . service ranking with other major departments and having modern hospital facilities . . . is essen- tial. This Foundation generously aided the Department during its first seven years. Doctor Richard Lyman became the first departmental Chairman in 1940. He imme- diately opened the electroencephalographic laboratory, Kirby Clinic, and Meyer Ward, psychoanalytic participation, and resources for convulsive and other children's problems and for psychosomatic medicine followed. These permitted an expanding undergraduate cur- riculum, and systematic residency training. His catholic teaching policies exposed both undergraduates and residents to represent- atives of every divergent school of thought in psychiatry. During these years a number of important additions to the staff were made. These include Dr. Leslie Hohman, Dr. Hans Lowenbach, Dr. Bingham Dai, Dr. Burke Suitt, Dr. Louis Cohen, Dr. George Silver, Dr. William Wilson, Dr. R. Charman Carroll, Dr. Robert Craig and Dr. Marie Baldwin. All of these psychiatrists and psychologists are currently active in the Department of Psychiatry. In 1951 Dr. Lyman resigned from the Department. Dr. Hans Lowenbach consented to serve as Acting Chairman of the Department until a new permanent Chairman could be appointed. Under Dr. Lowenbach' considerable progress was made, particularly in the area of improv- ing and expanding the facilities for Inpatient care. Dr. Ewald W. Busse, was appointed Pro- fessor and Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry on September 1, 1953. The pre- viously established pattern of growth con- tinued with particular emphasis in the areas of Psychosomatic Medicine, Child Guidance and Interdisciplinary Research. Dr. Albert J. Silverman was originally responsible for training in Psychosomatic Medicine but is at the present time on leave of absence with the Air Force as Chief of the Stress and Fatigue Research Unit. Currently, Dr. Bernard Bres- sler is heading this portion of the training program. Dr. John Fowler is Head of the Durham Child Guidance Clinic and Dr. Robert Barnes is Co-ordinator of the Interdisciplinary Research Team. Dr. Joseph Parker is Head of the Department of Psychiatry in the Veterans Hospital which forms an integral part of the Department of Psychiatry. Additions to his staff include Dr. Jack Ritchie and Dr. William P. Wilson. Other new appointments include Dr. Charles Llewellyn, Dr. Oscar Parsons, Dr. Charles Spielberger, Dr. Sanford Cohen and Dr. Finn Magnussen. Mr. Dolph Hess is re- sponsible for Psychiatric Social Work and other social workers holding academic rank are Miss Mildred Long and Miss Evalyn Lynch. The Housestaff of the Department of Psychia- try is now composed of 19 psychiatric trainees and 6 psychological interns. EWALD W. BUssE, M.D. How long have you been having these visions??
