The Skull Chevalier Jackson — A Biography (Reprint from Medical Mentor. Vol. 3. No. I, 1932) Though he had thought seriously of devoting his life to painting, he began the study of medicine under a preceptor at the age of sixteen, and two years later matriculated at the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia. He graduated from that institution three years later (1886) and went to Europe in the fall of the same year to continue his studies. He visited clinics in Vienna. Berlin. Paris and London. It was the work of Morrell McKenzie in London that most impressed him. and in fact it was during the months spent there that he finally made up his mind to specialize in laryngology. Returning to Pittsburgh, he opened an office there, specializing in diseases of the nose, throat, and ear. He was interested in laryngeal stenosis and foreign body cases from the beginning. Endoscopy seemed to have an unnecessarily high mortality and the problems it presented appealed to his mechanical bent. His studies on the larynx in typhoid fever, carried out chiefly at the West Pennsylvania Hospital, attracted considerable attention. He soon became a member of the staff of the Eye and Ear. the Presbyterian, and the Allegheny General Hospital, as well as a number of others. Gradually he restricted his work more and more to laryngology and endoscopy, giving up first the ear and then the nose and pharynx. In 1907 he published Tracheobronchoscopy Esophagoscopy and Gastroscopy. the first textbook on endoscopy in the English language. Since then he has become internationally known as a pioneer in the new specialty most generally known as bronschoscopy. From 1912 to 1916 Dr. Jackson was professor of laryngology at the University of Pittsburgh. In 1917, he was called back to Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia as professor of laryngology, succeeding Professor D. Braden Kyle. Seven years later a chair of bronchoscopy was created and he resigned the professorship of laryngology to become Professor of Bronchoscopy and Esophagoscopy. Shortly thereafter a similar chair was created for him at the Graduate School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania. In 1930, a chair of bronchoscopy was created at Temple University. The latest of Dr. Jackson's clinics to be established is that at CHEVALIER JACKSON was born in Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania, on the fourth day of November. 1865. His father was English and his mother of French and Dutch descent. As a boy his chief interests were making things with tools and painting pictures. His boyhood was spent just outside of the city, part of it on a farm. 1933
