John Collins Warren
Edit ProfileEducation
Warren prepared for college at the Public Latin School, graduated from Harvard in 1863, and from the Harvard Medical School in 1866. After a course at the Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, he spent three years in Europe, principally in London, Edinburgh, Paris, Berlin, and Vienna.
Career
Returning to Boston in 1869, he began practice and soon associated himself with the Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital, as his ancestors had done. Passing through all the grades as a teacher of surgery in the Medical School, he became Moseley Professor of Surgery in 1899, and served as such until 1907. In 1908 he was elected an Overseer of Harvard College. In his profession he was recognized as a surgeon of note and his many published papers were widely read. The first of his publications on surgical pathology was The Anatomy and Development of Rodent Ulcer (1872), which won the Boylston Medical Prize. A second book, largely experimental, dealt with The Healing of Arteries after Ligature in Man and Animals (1886). His work in this field culminated in a book entitled Surgical Pathology and Therapeutics (1895), based on bacteriology, a notable accomplishment. He collaborated with W. W. Keen in the American Text Book of Surgery (1892), and edited with A. Pearce Gould the International Text-Book of Surgery (1900). From 1873 to 1880 he was editor of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal. In 1896 he served as president of the American Surgical Association. Warren's principal interest, however, was in medical progress and medical education. He was largely instrumental in moving the Harvard Medical School to new and larger quarters in 1883 and again in 1906. In raising funds for the buildings taken possession of on the latter occasion, Warren and Henry P. Bowditch took the lead. The money was secured, and a great medical center was established with the School surrounded by hospitals and laboratories. "To Bowditch and Warren belongs the whole credit of the plan, the main credit for its execution". For almost a quarter of a century Warren was chairman of the Cancer Commission of Harvard University. The establishment of the Collis P. Huntington Memorial Hospital for Cancer Research, in Boston, stands to Warren's credit alone. He issued a plea for a medical students' dormitory in 1909, and it was added to the medical group before his death.
