The Harvard Medical School, Vol. 1: A History, Narrative and Documentary (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from The Harvard Medical School, Vol. 1: A Histor...)
Excerpt from The Harvard Medical School, Vol. 1: A History, Narrative and Documentary Our author has had untrammelled access to authorities and documents, and he tells in elaborate detail the history of the Harvard School. After giving us an account of the medical conditions in New England during colonial times, he recounts what service Harvard men furnished to the medical depart ment of the Revolutionary Army, and then plunges into the story of the School's founding and feeble growth through the latter part of the 18th century, when the teaching was in Cambridge and hospitals did not exist. Numerous biograph ical sketches of ancient Harvard Medical worthies follow, and the period ends with the year 1810. Then the School was transferred to Boston and waxed strong. Hospitals were built, teachers multiplied, new learn ing was imported, famous names appeared on our rolls, and. Just as an educational expansion was becoming imminent, the era ended in the crash of the great Civil War. So much is told in Volume II. With Volume III we learn of a revolution in medical edu cation. President Eliot takes the reins. The old order changes. The old School had been a truly private enterprise under the shelter of the University. The new school becomes an integral part of the University. We read the inspiring story of the new learning and of University development throughout the land, - a story which must appeal to every thoughtful man. So we follow the history of the Harvard School down to the present, and learn of the great new founds tion which tomorrow we shall enjoy. The history of a professional school cannot furnish many dramatic incidents. It flows on gently from year to year, punctuated here and there with names, discoveries, upbuild ings; with struggles, vicissitudes, contests. To be complete, a history of this kind must be largely statistical and docu mentary; such are the volumes before us; but through them. There runs a stream of narrative which Harvard men will fol low with interest and satisfaction. Especially valuable are the sketches of Eminent Alumni. When you read the stories of Nathan Smith, Howe, the War rens, Dalton, Flint, the Bigelows, Holmes, Parker and many others, you appreciate the wide influence of the Harvard School; and if you are blessed with imagination you thrill with pride.

Thomas Francis Harrington
Edit ProfileEducation
After a preliminary education in Lowell, Harrington entered the Harvard Medical School, graduating in 1888. He took his interneship in the Rotunda, Dublin, and at the Children's Hospital, London, England, later returning to his native city to practice.
Career
Early in his career Harrington became interested in public health and for three years was chairman of the Lowell board of health and visiting physician to St. John's hospital. From 1894 to 1907 he was secretary of the United States Pension Board. During this period he wrote an essay, Doctor Samuel Fuller of the Mayflower (1620), the Pioneer Physician (1903), and in 1905 he published a three-volume history, The Harvard Medical School, which became the standard work of reference on the subject.
A year after Boston inaugurated its law of 1906 providing for medical inspection of its school children, Harrington was made director of physical training and athletics, a position which he held until 1915. At the same time he became president of the Boston Playground Association. He had continued to write and by 1910 had published The Child and the Public School Curriculum (1906); Medical Supervision versus Medical Inspection (1907); Boston Public Schools: Report on Department of School Hygiene (1908); The Observance of Health Day in Schools (1910); and Boston Open-Air School Rooms (1910).
He recommended as early as 1898 open-air schoolrooms and hygienic physical culture. The employment of these and similar measures in Boston led to their adoption elsewhere in this country and in Europe.
In 1910 Harrington attended the international school hygiene congress in Paris and in 1913 was chosen as a United States delegate to the seventeenth international congress of medicine in London. From 1915 until his death in 1919 he was deputy commissioner of the Massachusetts state board of labor and industry.
During the World War he served as a lieutenant-colonel in the Massachusetts National Guard, being particularly active during the influenza epidemic in Boston in 1918.
