J’ond J are we (I to DR. SCHNECK m dr 1960-2012 To say that Dr. Carson Schneck is a Temple institution is an understatement. His name has become synonymous with Temple Medicine since the day we first stepped foot into our building. As we began delving into the world of anatomy, a day would not pass without at least browsing our Schneck notes, discovering a new “Schneck-ism” or learning through his demonstration. We offer our most sincere gratitude for his dedication to the past fifty years of Temple School of Medicine graduates. Dr. Schneck was born on October 10,1933 in Allentown, PA. He came from a hard working family. His father drove a beer delivery truck and his mother sewed buttons at a shirt factory. His parents always valued a strong foundation with education, and his mother had always hoped that he would become a physician. After graduating high school, however, Dr. Schneck took a different route. He began a job in construction and recalls loving the experience: “I could’ve been a drywaller for the rest of my life.” Fortunately for us, Dr. Schneck continued on his course towards medicine by attending Muhlenberg College in Allentown where he pursued premed classes, as well as others in philosophy, ethics and religion. It was at this time when he discovered the Socratic method of teaching and learning, which is present in his own teaching style. (Surely, we can all remember being called on by name during his teaching sessions.) After graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1955, Dr. Schneck began his medical education at his first choice, Temple University School of Medicine. He chose Temple because the faculty here were internationally recognized, but more importantly, for their great reputation as teachers. “I was pretty convinced that Temple had some of the best teachers and researchers in the world,” he remembers fondly, “I started considering a career in medical academics. It sure looked like fun.” His choice to pursue anatomy was due in large part to influence from his mentor, Dr. John Huber. Dr. Huber was internationally known as an anatomist, an excellent educator and the person that discovered the bronchopulmonary segmental subdivision of the lung's lobe. This discovery allowed for pulmonary resections of less than a lobe. 14 FAREWELL TO DR. SCHNECK
