Shattuck, Frederick Cheever, 1847-1929

Shattuck (Harvard, M.D. 1873) was Jackson Professor of Clinical Medicine at Harvard until 1912, overseer of Harvard University from 1913 to 1919, and consulting physician at Massachusetts General Hospital. His professional concerns were tropical medicine, typhoid fever, and industrial medicine. His interest in education led to administrative activities. From 1898 to 1909 he served on the medical school's faculty committee to revise curricula, during which time clinical rotations at Boston hospitals were fully developed. In 1913 he raised funds to establish a department of tropical medicine and he himself later endowed a chair in this department to ensure its permanence. In 1916 he again raised money and chaired a committee on industrial hygiene whose efforts led to the creation of the Harvard School of Public Health.
