The Rollin A. Daniel, Jr. Lecture
Dr. Rollin A. Daniel, Jr. was one of those rare individuals to achieve excellence in all three roles of academic medicine as a medical educator, an investigator, and a practitioner. He influenced the careers of legions of medical students, house officers, and colleagues on both medical faculties and in practice. He exemplified the best American medicine. For that reason and for the reverence in which he was held by his colleagues, a lecture series was established in his name at his retirement in 1977.
Dr. Daniel was certified by the American Board of Surgery and also the American Board of Thoracic Surgery, where he served as a member of the Founders Group, chairman of the Credentials Committee, and chairman of the board (1965-67). He was a member of the Society of University Surgeons and served as president of both the Nashville Academy of Medicine and the Nashville Surgical Society.
Dr. Daniel authored fifty-six publications. His first paper, coauthored with Drs. Alfred Blalock and Sam Upchurch, appeared in 1933 in the journal Surgery, Gynecology and Obstetrics. His publications cover a wide range of surgical problems, but from 1944 they reflect his concentration of interest in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery. His papers range from the descriptions of his studies on the regeneration of defects of the trachea and bronchi and the experimental production of 'wet lung' to the surgical management of a wide variety of thoracic and cardiovascular disorders.
Dr. Daniel was always considered a 'doctor's doctor.' He was a warm, sensitive, and caring person, and those qualities helped in making him an outstanding physician.
