EVARTS AMBROSE GRAHAM March 19,1883-March 4,1957 BY LESTER R. DRAGSTEDT EVARTS AMBROSE GRAHAM was born in Chicago, on March 19, 1883, and died in St. Louis of cancer of the lung on March 4, 1957. At the time of his death Dr. Graham was widely recog- nized as the leading surgeon of his day. He was, in every sense, a surgical statesman and was for many years the most influential voice in surgical meetings all over the world. He had devoted many years to the study of cancer of the lung and, together with Dr. Alton Ochsner of New Orleans, had pointed out the im- portant role of cigarette smoking in the cause of this disease. In 1933, he first successfully removed the lung from a patient with lung cancer. This patient survived ant! was cured of his disease. Ochsner and Graham noted that practically all of the patients with lung cancer upon whom they operated were habitual cigarette smokers. Not long before his final illness, Dr. Graham and his wife, together with my wife and I, attended a surgical convention in Glasgow, Scotland, and were houseguests of Pro- fessor and Mrs. Arthur Mackey. Mrs. Mackey, a charming young lady, was smoking a cigarette when the Grahams and Dragstedts arrived at their home. To our consternation, shortly after the introductions, Dr. Graham took the cigarette away from Mrs. Mackey and told her that that was the last cigarette that she was to smoke. He said that he had been a confirmed cigarette smoker all of his life and that it was too late for him, but not too late for 221

292 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS her, to quit. Possibly he knew at that time that he had lung cancer and that the involvement of both lungs made removal by a surgical operation impossible. Before Dr. Graham and Dr. Ochsner reported their clinical studies, cigarette smoking was so common among surgeons that their convention rooms were often so clouded that it was difficult to see the speakers. By the time Dr. Graham died, it was almost impossible to find a surgeon smoking a cigarette. Evarts Graham attended public schools and subsequently the Lewis Institute in Chicago. In the fall of 1900 he entered Prince- ton University and in 1904 graduated. His father, Dr. David W. Graham, was a leading surgeon on the west side of Chicago. He was a charter member of the staff of the Presbyterian Hospital and was president of the medical staff from 1898 to 1901. Although David Graham had contact with Christian Fenger, the Danish physician who first brought to Chicago and the Midwest knowledge of cellular pathology, bacteria, and infectious disease, he remained skeptical and paid scant atten- tion to aseptic techniques in his surgical work. As a beginning medical student in 1911, I recall seeing "Daddy" Graham, as we students called him, perform an operation for the removal of tuberculous lymph glands in the neck of a child. Evarts Graham was his assistant and did all that he could to persuade his father to observe the principles of aseptic surgery. However, when Daddy Graham had finished scrubbing his hands and rinsing them in an antiseptic solution, as a final measure he washed his beard in the solution to the dismay of his son Evarts. We students were delighted, because, at this time, we had been taught something of bacteriology and were persuaded of course about the aseptic method of surgery. Evarts's mother, Ida Barnett Graham, was a woman of extra- ordinary intelligence and energy, who devoted much of her life to public service, especially in connection with the Presbyterian church and hospital. For many years she was chairman of the woman's board of the hospital, a voluntary organization repre-

EVARTS AMBROSE GRAHAM 223 sensing the Presbyterian churches of the Chicago area and including a general membership of public-spirited women. This remarkable woman was not only an inspiration to her husband and son, but also to other surgeons as well. With this back- ground it is not surprising that Evarts embarked on a career in surgery. After completing his studies at Princeton, Evarts Graham pursued medicine at Rush Medical College. At that time, the first two years of the medical course were given at The Univer- sity of Chicago and the last two years at Rush Medical College, on the west side of Chicago, near the Cook County Hospital. At The University of Chicago, he was exposed to the inspiring teaching of Dr. A. J. Carlson, H. Gideon Wells, R. R. Bensley, and many others. After the completion of these two years, Evarts entered Rush Medical College and began his training in the clinical subjects. He made an outstanding record as an under- graduate student and was given an appointment in pathology with Ludvig Hektoen. During this period, he collaborated with Dr. Ernest E. Irons in a report on generalized blastomycosis. He received an M.D. degree in 1907 and spent the following year as an intern in the Presbyterian Hospital, where he became a close personal friend of Dr. Rollin T. Woodyatt, an internist . - some ten years AS SenlOr. Woodyatt had just returned from a year of postgraduate study in the clinic of Professor Friedrich Muller, in Munich, and was charged with enthusiasm for the scientific spirit and investigative insight of this man. He sought to develop in Chicago a scientific clinic patterned on that of Muller, who was an able chemist in addition to being a leading internist; and this no doubt was responsible for Wooclyatt's advice to Evarts to secure more training in chemistry. Dr. Arthur Dean Bevan, Chairman of the Department of Surgery in Rush Medical Col- lege, thought that Evarts was making a mistake in withdrawing from clinical work to spend two or three years in chemistry. He, as well as Evarts's father, failed to see how a knowledge of chem-

224 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS istry could be useful to a general surgeon. Evarts's persistence in studying chemistry in spite of this opposition is testimony to his independence and determination. However, Evarts has said this about his father: "I shall always be grateful to him. He sum ported me very eagerly both financially and by sympathetic understanding during the time that I stretched out my period of graduate training, even including the two years that I spent in the study of chemistry." It was at The University of Chicago that Dr. Graham met Helen Tredway, who was also a graduate student in pharma- cology. They were married in 1916. Throughout his life, Dr. Graham enjoyed the enthusiasm and intellectual support of this remarkable woman. In addition to her household duties and the care of two young children, Helen Tredway Graham became an associate professor of pharmacology at Washington Univer- sity in St. Louis and continued an active career in teaching and research until she retired, in 1959. She was also active in a wide range of educational and civic matters, including civil liberties and air pollution control. She served as vice-president of the St. Louis League of Women Voters and a board member of the St. Louis Civil Liberties Committee. Mrs. Graham helped draft the civil service provisions of the St. Louis County Charter and was a member of the Board of Freeholders that drafted the metropolitan district plan for the coordination of services in St. Louis County. Like her husband, Mrs. Graham became con- cerned over the health dangers caused by air pollution and was instrumental in helping to secure air-sampling stations in St. Louis. She died of a heart attack in 1971, when she was eighty years old. In 1915 Dr. Graham entered upon the private practice of surgery in a clinic in Mason City, Iowa. This was, on the whole, a disappointing experience. It was here that be became im- pressed with the evils of fee splitting and ghost surgery. It was often the practice of medical men to refer patients to surgeons

EVARTS AMBROSE GRAHAM 225 for operations and receive in return a portion of the surgeon's fee. The surgeon often felt that the medical man was insu~- ciently rewarded for his diagnostic work and so agreed to the split. Unfortunately, some surgeons returned a larger portion of the fee in order to secure more referred patients; and some medical men chose often inferior surgeons who gave a larger return. When Dr. Graham became President of the American College of Surgeons, he used his great influence to persuade the surgical societies to stop this practice among their members. In 1918 Dr. Graham enlisted in the U.S. Army, was com- missioned a captain, and sent to Fort Lee. He had been assigned to take a course in neurosurgery when he was visited by Dr. Allen B. Kanavel, a leading Chicago surgeon, who was on duty as a consultant in the office of the Surgeon General of the Army. Dr. Kanavel told Graham that there was growing apprehension about the treatment of empyema (collections of pus in the chest cavities) in the various army camps. The country was then in the first year of an influenza epidemic that would undoubtedly in- crease in severity. Pneumonia, accompanied by empyema, often followed the influenza and was the chief cause of death. Dr. Kanavel suggested that Graham work on this problem because of his unusual chemical training. Dr. Graham agreed and was shortly sent to Camp Lee to join with bacteriologist Edward K. Dunham and chemist Richard D. Bell to become what came to be known as the Empyema Commission. With the help of Dr. Kanavel, a questionnaire was sent to the army camp hospitals; and it was found that the mortality from influenza pneumonia was about 30 percent. Many patients whose pulmonary reserve had been crippled by massive, often bilateral bronchopneumonia, were being hurried to an oper- ating room as soon as fluid containing bacteria was found in the chest. The operation was rib resection with open tube drainage. Death often occurred within a half hour after the operation. At the time when Dr. Graham and his colleagues on the

226 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS Empyema Commission were doing their work, the writer of this memoir was also in the army serving as pathologist at the general hospital in Camp Merritt, New Jersey. The influenza was then at its height, and in the camp of 35,000 men, as well as in the surrounding cities, there was a general feeling of foreboding— almost of fear like that described in London and Paris during the plague. As many as twenty to thirty young soldiers died daily and were brought to the morgue for autopsy. My examination usually revealed both pleural cavities filled with pus and causing such compression on the lungs as to seriously interfere with breathing. At times I requested the physicians who were caring for these patients to drain the pleural and pericardial cavities at an earlier date. They responded by saying that such attempts had proved invariably fatal. The contribution of Dr. Graham and his colleagues consisted of devising methods for the closed drainage of these cavities without permitting air to enter and collapse the lungs. It was a great contribution to the treatment of empyema and opened the way for Dr. Graham's subsequent career as one of the leaders of the new thoracic surgery. Strep- tococcus hemolyticus usually accompanied the influenza in this epidemic and was responsible for most of the deaths. Penicillin, which controls this deadly infection, was not then available. Fortunately, influenza accompanied by Streptococcus hemoly- tictts seems now to have disappeared. At his urgent request, Dr. Graham was given overseas duty as commanding officer of U.S. Evacuation Hospital #34 in France. On returning to the United States after the war, in the spring of 1919, he was assigned to Fort Sheridan, in Illinois. The following account of Dr. Graham's appointment as Professor of Surgery at Washington University Medical School was given to me by Dr. Philip Anderson Shaffer: "At that time, members of the staff of base hospital #21 from Washington University were also returning from France. Dur- ir~g their absence many circumstances had changed. Dr. Fred

EVARTS AMBROSE GRAHAM 227 Murphy, chief surgeon of base hospital #21 was also Professor of Surgery in Washington University and head of that depart- ment. During his absence the full time system in medicine had been adopted for heads of the clinical departments. This plan displeased Murphy and led to his retirement thus making it necessary to seek his successor. "In 1916, I had been drafted as Dean of the Washington University Medical School and, in that capacity, went to Chicago in search of a candidate for our department of medicine. My friend Dr. Rollin T. Woodyatt, whom I consulted, told me that if I had wanted a surgeon he could have named an excellent candidate. He cited the talents and accomplishments of Evarts Graham who, however, had just accepted appointment to a clinic in Mason City, Iowa. "In 1917, I had~been sent to France as an officer in the section of food and nutrition in the sanitary corps attached to the surgeon general's office. At that time I received the resignation of Dr. Murphy as professor of surgery at Washington University Medical School. I recalled the praise of Woodyatt and others of a young surgeon whose name I had forgotten. My files however disclosed it. Dr. Graham was located at Fort Sheridan and a committee of the faculty was sent to confer with him as to his qualifications and interest in the position in St. Louis. He was invited to visit the school, which he did on June 6 and 7, 1919. The corporation approved his appointment as Professor of Sur- gery effective July 1, 1919. "Evarts's prompt acceptance of this appointment after such a short visit was surprising to me but was explained many years later when by chance I recognized his face in a group photograph of a large attendance at the first convention of the Federation for Experimental Biology and Medicine to meet in St. Louis. Examination of the program of that meeting showed that Evarts had read a paper there and had taken part in the discussion. He had already explored the plan for a modern medical school and

228 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS appreciated the opportunity for the development of his ambi- tions. With the acceptance of that appointment he entered into associations that continued for the rest of his life: devoted ant! loyal to his friends and to his responsibilities, of unshakable mental integrity, outspoken and with wide vision. He was in- valuable not only to his department and field, but as a member of the executive faculty of the whole medical school and from this post his influence in the field of medical education and practice spread worldwide." This eloquent tribute by Dean Shaffer was re-echoed by the many faculty members who at- tended Dr. Graham's retirement dinner. Dr. Graham entered upon his work as professor of surgery at Washington University with enthusiasm and high hopes. He had long been interested in the work of Peyton Rous and P. D. McMaster on the function of the gallbladder. These men had demonstrated that the thin bile from the liver was stored in the gallbladder between meals and concentrated there by the ab- sorption of water by the gallbladder mucosa. John I. Abel and Leonard Rown tree had discovered that the chemical phenol- tetrachlorphthalein, when injected into the blood stream, was selectively removed from the blood by the liver and excreted in the bile. A similar compound, phenoltetrabromthalein, was be- ing used as a test of liver function. Dr. Graham speculated that if iodine could be substituted for chlorine in the molecule of this drug then perhaps the phenol tetraiodothalein would also be selectively excreted in the bile. Iodine being opaque to X rays would make the bile cast an X-ray shadow, and so the gallbladder could be visualized. He was able to secure sodium tetraio- dophenolphthalein from the Eastman Kodak Company and began his work in the laboratory on experimental animals. Drs. Warren Cole and GIover Copher assisted in these experiments. Dr. Cole relates that, although they were able to visualize the gallbladder in dogs, when they first administered the drug to patients with gallstones or suspected gallstones, no visualization

EVARTS AMBROSE GRAHAM 229 of the gallbladder occurred. This was a great disappointment, as it was hoped that by this method of visualizing the gallbladder by X ray a diagnosis of gallstones could be made or confirmed. Fortunately, they later gave the drug to patients without symp- toms of gallbladder disease and found that the gallbladder visualized perfectly. Subsequent experiments revealed that the method provided a good test for the function of the gallbladder. If the gallbladder mucosa were normal, it would concentrate the bile; and the concentrated bile containing the drug was visual- ized by X ray. When the gallbladder wall was diseased and did not concentrate the bile, there was no visualization of the gall- bladder. Nonvisualization of the gallbladder indicated that the mucous membrane of the gallbladder was not normal and so did not concentrate the bile. Often the visualized gallbladder dis- played gallstones that, because of the absence of the drug in the stones, cast a negative shadow. These discoveries by Dr. Graham and his associates made the diagnosis of diseases of the gall- bladder much more accurate and, in addition, proved very use- ful in further investigations of the function of the gallbladder in other conditions. Undoubtedly Dr. Graham's work on the gall- bladder was influential in his election as a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1941. Although teaching and administrative burdens consumed much of Dr. Graham's time, he devoted himself with great suc- cess to the study of chest diseases along with his work on the gallbladder. His department became one of the leading centers for thoracic surgery in the United States. At that time removal of a lobe of the lung was occasionally done in patients with cancer of the lung where the tumor was thought to be limited tO one lobe. Dr. Graham was operating upon a fellow physician when exploration of the lung revealed that the cancer involved more than one lobe. To the awe of the surgeon spectators, he then proceeder! to remove the entire lung. It is probable that he had considered this eventuality before and that his decision to

930 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS remove the entire lung was not so casual as it seemed. The patient recovered and was cured of his disease. This surgical triumph in 1933 electrified the surgical world, and, in addition to adding to Dr. Graham's fame, stimulated other surgeons to try to cure these unfortunate patients. In succeeding years, Dr. Graham and his associates operated upon many more patients sent to them from all parts of the world. I recall one of his force- ful statements, namely, that every patient upon whom he had operated for cancer of the lung had been an inveterate cigarette smoker. Four days after Dr. Graham's death, the Board of Directors of Washington University on March 8, 1957, passed the follow- · . ng reso utlon: "Whereas, Dr. Evarts Ambrose Graham lighted man's way to longer life and better health by his diligent pursuit of truth and by his brilliant and courageous achievements in surgery and medical research; and "Whereas, Dr. Graham devoted thirty-eight years of his life to a distinguished career with the Washington University Medi- cal School, receiving international acclaim for his valuable leadership in medical education; and "Whereas, Dr. Graham served the University faithfully and with excellent results- in many special assignments, including chairmanship of faculty committees to select new chancellors; "Therefore, be it resolved that the Board of Directors of Washington University express its gratitude for the life of this great man and pay tribute to a memory that will forever deserve a place of honor in the annals of man."
