Such then is the record to date of Dr. Jesse Arnold. That even possibly greater achievements in obstetrics are yet to come we already have positive evidence, but it is from his pen and not ours that the first announcements should be made. No biography of Dr. Arnold would be complete without some mention of his interests other than obstetrics. Always having a great liking for literature, he has retained this as his hobby and during the busy days of an active professional life has achieved considerable distinction as an author. As vacation diversion, in earlier years, he gathered data and local historical material in his home country, southwestern Pennsylvania, and in 1908 published a book of “Local and Oldtime Sketches in the Yough Region, which has found its way into the libraries of the great historical societies throughout the country. This book contains, in addition to an extensive family history, many of the tragic stories of that historic locality, made famous by Colonel William Crawford and the Indians, Fort Necessity and Washington's first battles, the ill-fated Braddock Expedition, the Whisky Insurrection, the old National Pike and its traditions, and many others; also several chapters on “Old-time Manners and Customs, including a number of Dr. Arnold's ''rime-time verses, written for special occasions, historic celebrations, etc., as “The Old Looms Story, “The Youghiogheny River, “One Hundred Years in the Old Homestead,” and “Yarns from Grandmother’s Spinning-wheel. So let us quote in conclusion, as a tribute to Dr. Arnold, portions of one of his poems, “Our Own Heroes, written and read recently at a Temple Medical Dinner. “Greatness is not, as some have thought, In costly tombs or statues tall. For well we know the real hero Oft' has no monument at all . . . For he who lives, and daily gives His life to help the man that's down, Deserves more praise these later days Than he who wears the Civic Crown. The Doctor, then, among the men Of whom we tell in fadeless story, Need not despair, nor fear to share The highest meed of mortal glory. 12 Quoted in full on page 272. -B. W. Jenkins.

out that masterpiece of modern Obstetric therapeutics—the “Temple Treatment of Eclampsia by means of fluid balance and dehydration. In 1904, now thirty-one years ago, there was an assistant needed on the Obstetric staff of the then recently formed Temple Medical School. It was as Associate Profes-sor that Dr. Arnold first became affiliated with Temple. Dr. John C. Applegate then held the chair of Obstetrics. Those were precarious times in the history of our Medical School. One of the greatest problems that confronted Dr. Arnold as Associ-ate Professor during those early years was getting enough “outside cases for the Senior students in their practical course. Students were “farmed out as “Doctor's assistants” to various cooperative practicioners in the city in order that they might perform supervised deliveries in the home. Now, after thirty years with the School and the Department of Obstetrics, Dr. Arnold fondly recalls those early times. “In 1904 there were only four beds for teaching purposes in the Maternity ward of the hospital—but there were only two Senior students, therefore two patients per student for the entire Senior class—a greater proportion than exists now with thirty-six beds in the Greatheart Ward and one hundred and seven Seniors. In 1911 Dr. Arnold announced what was to be the first of a long line of outstanding achievements in Obstetrics. Like the others, this, his first important contribution to Obstetrics, represents a unique union of fundamental ideas combined with astute scientific observations and principles. The manipulation that has since come to be known as the Arnold Trimanual Method of Rotating the Persistent Occiput Posterior was first described by Dr. Arnold in the American Physician , Philadelphia, 1911. Since then the success this method of rotation has had among the thousands of Arnold trained men throughout the country has firmly established it in the regimen of Modern Obstetrics. This was but the beginning of Dr. Arnold's contributions to Obstetrics. For the mother, an improved Delivery Room table, the Arnold Induction tube, the widely used Arnold forceps, and the unique Uterine Packer are his contributions. For the baby, an electrically heated bassinette of his own design, the Arnold Aspirator, the labor stethescope and the Cord Clamp are his contributions to their early physical well being. Upon the death of Dr. Applegate in 1926 Dr. Arnold was promoted to the Chair of Obstetrics. A few short years after this, in 1930, at the suggestion of Dr. Temple Fay, and with the inspiration and encouragement of Dr. Fay's successful work in epilepsy and other convulsive conditions, Dr. Arnold began the application of the principles of fluid balance and dehydration in the prevention and control of eclampsia, which since its introduction is being rapidly accepted throughout the country as a highly efficient method of treatment of a condition that hitherto lacked a rational system of control. But disregarding all these other outstanding achievements—both scientific and mechanical the fact from which Dr. Arnold derives the most satisfaction is simply this: that for the past thirty years at Temple he has endeavored to teach Obstetrics in a practical way. His dictum has always been: Let obstetrics be learned by doing obstetrics. That is the reason he stresses so continually the fundamentals, and that is why—long before most other Medical Schools—(and even still in advance of many) the Senior course has been so completely practical. That his labors among us are not in vain is attested by the sterling record of the many Temple graduates in practice throughout the country today. Among the many honors bestowed upon Dr. Arnold, one of the most outstanding is that of Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, conferred upon him for his excellent work in operative obstetrics. 11
