WILLIAM N. PARKINSON B.S., M.D., M.Sc. (Medicine), Sc.D., F.A.C.S., Ed.D., LL.D. Vice-President, Temple University—Dean, Temple University School of Medicine The most vital possessions of any university are its great men. It is not the pride, pomp, and circumstance of an institution which it bring honor, not its wealth, the number of its schools, the students who throng its halls. These men walk the tortuous road of service that leads through toil, despair, and tribulations to the hollowed halls of Fame. From Who's Important in Medicine, 1952 here is a vignette of one of Temple's great men: Parkinson, Wm. Nimon: Dean Temple U. Med. School; b. Sept. 17, 1886, Philo, Pa.; son of Walter Sarah (Nimon) Parkinson; educated of Villonovo College, B.S., LL.D. 1931; Temple U., M.D. 1911; Univ. of Pa., M.Sc. (Med.) 1923; D.Sc., Po. Mil. Coll., 1948. Dr. of Ed., Dickinson, 1951. Asst. Surgeon, Joseph Price Mem. Hosp., Philo., Po. 1912-17. Assoc. Dean, Med. Dept., Temple U. 1923-25; Chief Surgeon, Florida East Coast R.R. Hosp. Med. Director of Temp. U. Hosp. since 1929. Fellow Am. Coll, of Surgeons. Member A.M.A. County and State Med. Societies Served os Div., A.E.F., World War 1. (from Who’s Importont in Medicine. 1952) The above profile, cold and impersonal, presents us with nothing more than events neatly situated in time and place. But what of the man, what of the spirit behind the man? In one of his pertinent Oslerisms, Sir William declared that, We should look beyond the printed page to find in the lives of these men the spirit of helpfulness which gives to the profession of medicine its value to humanity. His deep humility discourages an attempt to converse with Dr. Parkinson about his accomplishments. What we are able to know or surmise about him comes from his written messages to graduating classes, and from his personal dealings with students.
