Originally founded in 1870, the Department’s current structure was established in the year 1924 with the appointment of George Fetterolf, MD as the first Chairman of the combined Department of Otorhinolaryngology. Further modifications of departmental structure have been made over time by multiple Chairmen. The changes made were dependent on clinical, technological, and research growth within the specialties of Otorhinolaryngology, Human Communication, and Head and Neck Surgery. 1870-1890 George Strawbridge, MD, Professor and Chairman of the Department, then called Diseases of the Ear 6 WWW.uPhS.uPenn.edu/PennOrl The Birth of the Graduate School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania 1918-1965 The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching’s Abraham Flexner report of 1910 described the confused pattern of medical education in Philadelphia. The city’s multiple medical schools and general hospitals provided good clinical training for residents, but frequently did not provide adequate experience in the basic aspects of the specialties. A need existed for combined specialized scientific and laboratory training in conjunction with residency—(a Graduate School of Medicine). The report recommended a broader merger scheme. In 1918, an alternative unique institution for graduate training in medical specialties evolved as the Graduate School of Medicine 1890-1905 Burton Alexander Randall, MD, PhD, Professor and Chair of Diseases of the Ear; from 1905 to 1925 he was Professor and Chair of the Department of Otology 1905-1926 Charles P. Grayson, MD, Professor and Chairman of Laryngology and Rhinology (GSM) of the University of Pennsylvania. This resulted from a merger of the Medico- Chirurgical Medical School, founded in 1867, and the Philadelphia Polyclinic and College for Graduates in Medicine. Due to interruptions caused by World War I, this new department did not begin to offer courses until the 1919-1920 academic year. The Graduate School of Medicine (GSM) was generally regarded as the prime training center in the United States for otolaryngologists and offered Master’s of Science and Doctors of Science degrees in Otolaryngology. From 1919 to 1953, Otolaryngology was represented in the Graduate School by two different Departments, Otology and Laryngology. From 1919 to 1933, George M. Coates, MD served as Head of the Department of Otology and George Wood, MD was the Head of the Faculty in 1926-1933 George Fetterolf, MD, the first Chairman of the combined Department of Otorhinolaryngology 1934-1940 George M. Coates, MD, Professor and Chairman of Otolaryngology
George M. Coates, MD Laryngology. Dr. Coates was succeeded by Edward H. Campbell, MD, from 1933 to 1953 and Dr. Wood by Karl Houser, MD. In 1953, the two separate Departments merged under Chairman Louis E. Silcox, MD from 1953 to 1960, followed by Bernard J. Ronis, MD from 1960 to 1963, and David Meyers, MD from 1964 to 1965. In 1964-65 the faculty of the Graduate School was officially merged with that of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine as part of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology. 1940-1959 Harry P.

Chevalier Jackson, MD was Chairman. Personal courses were sanctioned in 1921, including courses in laryngology, bronchoscopy and esophagoscopy which were led by Dr. Jackson as well as Gabriel Tucker, MD and Louis Clerf, MD.

In 1950 the departments were combined and a new department was formed, entitled Broncho-Esophagology and Laryngeal Surgery. In 1954 Joseph P. Adkins, MD succeeded Gabriel Tucker, MD as Chairman. In 1968 he was succeeded by John A. Tucker, MD as the Gabriel Tucker Chairman. In 1972 all of the departments of the Graduate School were merged under the School of Medicine.
