neuropathologist psychiatrist teacher
Elmer was born on July 28, 1876 in South Boston, Massachussets, United States, the son of Martin Southard, a mill superintendent, and Olive Wentworth (Knowles) Southard. As a child he did not care for manual work but preferred books and chess, which his father taught him, a lifelong interest.
Graduating from the Boston Latin School in 1893, he entered Harvard, where he received the degrees of A. B. (1897), M. D. (1901), and A. M. (1902).
In 1902 he studied in Germany at Senckenberg Institute, Frankfort, and at Heidelberg.
Southard was instructor in neuropathology at the Harvard Medical School, 1904-06, and assistant professor, 1906-09; in 1909 he was appointed to the newly created Bullard professorship, the youngest man ever to receive a full professorship there.
From 1906 to 1909 he was also assistant physician and pathologist at the Danvers State Hospital, Danvers, Massachussets, and in 1909 he became pathologist to the Massachusetts Commission on Mental Diseases.
At the opening of the Boston Psychopathic Hospital in 1912, he was made the first director and remained in this position until June 1919, when he was given the title of director of the Massachusetts Psychiatric Institute. Thus he had a rare combination of opportunities for research and teaching.
His contacts with students in the Harvard Medical School and internes in the Boston Psychopathic Hospital also afforded him the means of influencing young neuropathologists and psychiatrists. Never throughout his professional life was he without a group of students under his guidance, many of whom later attained prominence.
His first book, Neurosyphilis, written with H. C. Solomon, was published in 1917; his second, Shell-Shock and Other Neuropsychiatric Problems, in 1919. His publications, of which there are about two hundred, reveal his continued interest in the field of mental medicine, but in the later years show a growing concern with sociological problems.
Despite care by three Presbyterian Hospital physicians at the Prince George Hotel, Southard died on February 8, at the age of 43.
Elmer Ernest Southard was responsible for the establishment of the out-patient clinic in psychiatric cases, and for the definition of the field of social psychiatry; it was at the Boston Psychopathic Hospital under his leadership that the term "psychiatric social work" and the program of training for such workers were evolved. He was also responsible for the establishment in 1918 of the Smith College School for Social Work. Southard was a past president of the American Medico-Psychological Association, and was president of the Boston Society of Psychiatry and Neurology at his death.

Quotations: Canavan quoted him as saying, "I shall not live long, I must hurry; I must get lots of others busy. "
He was a member of the Wicht Club, a social and intellectual group of young Harvard academics.
He was a member of the American Medico-Psychological Association, and was a member of the Boston Society of Psychiatry and Neurology. His other professional memberships included the American Genetic Association, the National Epilepsy Association, the American Association of Pathologists, the Massachusetts Medical Society and the Society of Experimental Biology.
In the case of a man of his rare abilities, however, it is difficult to delineate the forces that played upon his personality and developed his motivation; essentially the exceptional drive came from his own personality, a unique combination of artist, philosopher, and scientist.
Later in life Southard experienced chronic headaches and minor seizures (sometimes accompanied by partial vision loss for several hours), which he attributed to mental strain.
Quotes from others about the person
A member of two local chess clubs, Southard was described in his New York Times obituary as "one of the foremost amateur chess players in America".
According to L. Vernon Briggs, a colleague at Boston Psychopathic Hospital, Southard considered himself hypomanic. "He himself said that most people fell within one of the classifications of mental disease, and he felt himself to be of the manic-depressive type. We seldom saw the depressive side of him though it was undoubtedly there; ordinarily he appeared carried away with enthusiasm about his latest interest – and everything worthwhile interested him", Briggs wrote
On June 27, 1906, he married Mabel Fletcher Austin, a graduate of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and a lecturer in social hygiene, daughter of Horace Austin, once governor of Minnesota. Southard had three children: a daughter, Anne, and two sons. His younger son Ordway was an early writer of English-language haiku and published under several names, including O. Mabson Southard, O. M. B. Southard and Mabelsson Norway. Southard's older son, Austin, developed schizophrenia and committed suicide several years after his father's death.
