Henry Asbury Christian By ELLIOTT C. CUTLER, M.D. URING my third year at Harvard Medical School, 191 1-12, the lectures in medicine were given by Dr. Henry A. Christian, then Dean as well as Hersey Professor of the Theory and Practice of Physic. These lectures were given in the Amphitheatre of Building A. The opportunity to glimpse the activities going on in the cow pasture across the street, which were soon to lead to the formation of the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, was only occasionally utilized, for the tall, already bald, young professor voiced his opinions with clarity and precision and always held the interest of the class. As the years have gone by and the distant appreciation of a student for a valuable teacher has ripened into an affectionate intimacy, I have acquired a steadily increasing admira- tion for Dr. Christian's intellectual courage and abilities and his senti- ments concerning life and our profession. His honesty of purpose and frankness of speech are qualities which have raised him frequently above the level of his colleagues as one whose position is always known and therefore greatly respected. i His background may have given him many advantages, for he comes from a distinguished Virginian family, the seventh descendant of Thomas Christian who arrived in Virginia from England in 1657. From that time on his family have been persons of substance and importance in their community. He attended, at the age of sixteen, a small Virginia College, Randolph-Macon, the faculty of which was comprised of re- markable men whose stimulation struck f1re on his innate abilities. Upon graduating from this College with the degrees of A.B. and A.M. in 1895, he was fortunate enough to continue for another year in the field of chemistry, a foundation for medical practice then scarcely visualized even by the leaders of our profession. Finally, his medical education at Johns Hopkins University, from which he graduated with the degree of M.D. in 1900, blessed him with the unusual opportunity of studying under the distinguished group of teachers assembled in Baltimore. Immediately after graduating, he came to Boston, at first working in the Department of Pathology at the Boston City Hospital. His Chief there, Dr. Frank Mallory, will not take it amiss if we point out here that it was Dr. Christianas extreme accuracy of observation and thorough- ness that led to his rapid advance in this Held. He was soon recognized 8
