Dwight (Harvard, M.D. 1867) was Parkman Professor of Anatomy at the Harvard Medical School from 1883 to 1911 and also taught at Bowdoin Medical School in Maine, 1874-1876. During study in Europe, he obtained experience using frozen sections in anatomical work and was probably the first to introduce the method into the U.S. Dwight also served as surgeon to out-patients at the Boston City Hospital from 1877 to 1880 and was visiting surgeon at Carney Hospital from 1876 to 1883. He was president of the Carney staff until 1898.
