Edward Bauer has substantially enriched the historical heritage of Jefferson with his splendid book, Doctors Made in America. His keen memory of Jeiferson's many illusf trious sons complete with a sagacious appraisal of the essence of the personality of these individuals makes this a delightful book to read. Do not hesitate to pause for a moment and drink of some of Jeffersons pastg drinking from Bauer's cup is refreshing. Hans George Keitel, M.D. Professor and Head of the Department of Pediatrics FRAGMENTS OF JEFFERSON HISTORY . jelferson Medical College with its Hospital has made its mark in the world not only through its famous Facul- ties and the ever growing modernization of its equipment but also by hosts of Alumni not connected in any other way with the College. The institution itself with its Alumni has made myriads of friends the world over with its serious purpose, its humane efforts and its friendly and often humorous sidelights. Most of these latter incif dents are not known but are nevertheless of interest. Throughout its existence the institution has produced many men who have added to American medicine. Some of these we will touch upon while of others we will speak in a lighter vein that will certainly indicate their versa- tility and their human side. Take, for example, Granville Sharp Pattison who was called the turbulent Scot in Europe and America and not without reason. He was recognized as the foremost anatomist of his time. The politics in London's Hospitals and Colleges was nepotistic. He fought the system and made an impression to the extent at least that he stirred up a bitter controversy in the Lancet Scholastically he had an excellent background, having received his early education in Glasgow. He was made an Assistant to Allen Burns in the Andersonian Institute, a recently organized medical school in Glasgow. Burns died in 1813 and Pattison succeeded him as Professor of Anatomy, Physiology and Surgery. Now enters the villain. A Dr. Ure, anxious to rid himself of his lawfully wedded wife, sued her for divorce on the grounds of adultery and named Pattison as cor- respondent. This had better be explored because of the repercussions in America later. Scots divorce law at this time was the acme of absurdity. It had the color of legal witch burning. All such cases were decided in a Consist- ory Court, an ecclesiastical organization. The accused couple need never have met or have seen each other or the correspondent need never have existed. If he or she did, he could offer no defense, This might end the matter unless the plaintiff entered the suit against the corresf pondent. The latter could then offer his defense. Ure did not sue. Since one witness confessed to perjury, james Burns, writer of The Signet, laid the facts before the Institute which completely exoneratecl Pattison. It was in 1819 that Pattison came to Philadelphia at the invitation of the University of Pennsylvania which, on his arrival, repudiated its invitation. Pattison immef diately was invited to take the Chair of Anatomy at the University of Maryland and he 'aecepted. This angered Nathaniel Chapman, Professor of Medicine at the Uni' versity of Pennsylvania, for he had someone else in mind that he wanted appointed to this Chair. He went to Baltimore and made unfounded charges against Pattison who thereupon challenged Chapman to a duel. Chapman promptly refused and Pattison posted him in Phila' delphia in the Continental fashion. During this time Jefferson was growing in importance and when Pattison was asked to take the Chair of Anatomy here he accepted. In the meantime Pattison had married a Philadelphia society leader who was glad to return to her home town and he applied for an invitation to attend the Philadelf phia Assembly to which his wife's family entitled her to membership. Her brother blackballed Pattison. This led to a duel at Newcastle, Delaware, between the brothers' inflaw. Pattison's opponent had his right elbow shattered so that he could never shoot again while Pattison's coat was pierced by a bullet. He was not scratched and was admitted to the Assembly. There is a story of another duel in which Daniel Drake was involved. He, like many men of his time, moved from school to school. He remained at Jefferson but one term 0830-18311. Had he stayed, Ohio Uni' versity and the University of Cincinnati might have been many years developing. His sojourn in Philadelphia was really a prosetylizing expedition in behalf of Ohio schools but his only worthwhile catch was Eberle. Returning to
