Abstract
Description
From 1911 to 1932, Dr. Charles P. Emerson was the first chairman of the department and was also Dean of the School. He was a graduate of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and did his internship there under Sir William Osler who encouraged him to spend several years studying in Europe. Many of the current buildings were dedicated during his time frame - Long Hospital (now named Emerson Hall), Riley Hospital, Coleman Hospital, Ball Residence. Dr. Emerson knew that in certain illnesses a change of occupation with the accompanying social readjustment was a necessary part of therapy, and of work on medical social service was begun in the School.
