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??

at-. 'Q f. 1 , 5. N V 'e H V When the hospital opened in 1930 we had almost unlimited facilities tbeds, operating rooms, and research spacel, but a very limited senior staff: Drs. Alyea CUrologyD, Shands COrthopaedicsJ, Eagle fOtolaryngology D , Anderson COphthalmologyD, and Hart CGen- eral, Thoracic, Plastic and Neurosurgeryh. The residents for all of Surgery consisted of Drs. Gardner CResidentD, Jones and Baker tAssistant Residentsl, and Ziv tlnternl. Miss Batchelder was operating supervisor, and Miss Muller nurse anesthetist. Dr. Gardner joined the senior staff in 1932, Dr. Jones in 1933,.Dr. Fink in 1934, and Drs. Beard CExperimental Surgeryb and Woodhall CNeurosurgeryD in 1937, the year that Dr. Shands was replaced by Dr. Baker in Ortho- paedics. Dr. Dees CUrology7 came in 1939, Dr. Sharp in Biophysics in 1940, Dr. Arnold COtolaryngologyl in 1941, Dr. Jones was killed in 1941 by a paranoid patient, and Dr. Grim- son CGeneral Surgery! came in July, 1942. The death of Dr. Jones, the mobilization of Base Hospital 65 in July, 1942, the illness of Dr. Beard, the resignation of Dr. Fink, and the entry of Dr. Woodhall into the armed services came near wrecking the surgical service. Only Drs. Alyea, Dees, Eagle, Ander- son, Baker, Grimson and Hart were left on the senior staff. Dr. Odom fNeurosurgeryD and Dr. Lovell CGeneral Surgery? joined the staff in 1943, and Dr. Pickrell fPlasticJ in 1944. All worked hard to carry on the teach- ing load and care of patients, and by the end of the War had built up a large research and rehabilitation fund to be used in rebuilding the department. Dr. Trent CThoracicJ joined the staff in 1945, Dr. Sealy CGeneral, and later Thoracicl in 1946, Drs. Shingleton CGeneral Surgery? and Goldner fOrthopaedicsJ in 1950, Dr. Boone CUrol0gyJ in 1952. Dr. Semans iUro10gyl in 1953, Dr. Georgiade QPlasticD in 1954, and Drs. Anlyan CGeneral Surgeryb, Brown CGeneral Surgery and Blood Bankb and Peete CGeneral Surgery and Assistant to the Deanl in 1955. There have been a number of additional men who have worked for a year or two and have then gone elsewhere, and several who have been on a part-time status. Drs. Collins, Connar, Emlet, and now Postlethwait, in General Surgery, and a number of additional men in the surgical specialties, have held joint appointments at Duke and the affiliated Vet- erans Hospital. Dr. Ruth Martin started the Physicians Anesthesia program in 1945, and Dr. Barreras was our only assistant resident in Anesthesi- ology during the first few years. Dr. C. Ronald Stephen took over the direction of the Anes- thesia Division in 1950 and now has a staff of 5 Physician Anesthetists and 13 assistant resident and resident anesthetists at Duke and the Veterans Hospital, in addition to 7 Nurse Anesthetists and 13 nurses in training for Anesthesia. The resident staff has grown equally as rapidly, until now in Duke Hospital and the Veterans Hospital combined there are in surgery and the surgical specialties 12 resi- dents, 46 assistant residents, and 16 interns. There are over 50 full-time employees in the operating rooms, 28 secretaries, 18 technicians, ll student research assistants, and 31 em- ployees in the Surgical Private Diagnostic Clinic. The unlimited facilities soon became in- adequate. The General Surgery Outpatient Clinic spread into the Orthopaedic and part of the Gynecologic Clinic areas. The Private Diagnostic Clinics were organized in 1931, the private room facilities were soon over- crowded, and in 1939 and 1940 the P. D. C. building was added. The Blood Bank was opened in 1939, the surgical nursery of 18 beds in 1940, the Recovery Room in 1946, the Surgical Instrument Shop in 1949, and the Oxygen Therapy Service under the Anesthesia Division in 1955. The North Carolina Cerebral Palsy Hospital, financed by the state and an outgrowth of the spastic service started by the Orthopaedic Division in 1938, was opened in 1950. The Bell Research Building was built in three stages, starting in 1945 and being completed in 1952. The 500-bed afiliated Veterans Hos- pital was opened in 1952 and is now running almost at capacity. In 1954 the contract was let for the addition to the hospital now under construction. This building, air-conditioned throughout, will house on the lower 3 Hoors all outpatient departments, with the exception of Ophthal- mology, Nose and Throat, Urology, and Oral Surgery, which will expand in the present building, and will provide additional space for the Private Diagnostic Clinics, while ad- ditional oflice space for doctors has been obtained in Baker House. The second and third floors each will have 40 beds for private patients, teaching rooms, and dining facilities, the fourth floor will provide 10 new operating rooms, a doctors' lounge, and a preparation or service area for all operating rooms. The Hfth Hoor will contain 29 beds in an intensive nursing unit and will also have dressing rooms, a nourishment room for the operating rooms, and observation rooms for students and visitors. With these developments there has been a gradual increase in the departmental budget, but more spectacular has been the addition of funds from the earnings of the department and from outside research grants. Without the latter sources of revenue the department as it exists today would not have been possible. DERYL HART, M.D. 51
