At the University of Maryland Dr. Eugene Fauntleroy Cordell held one of the earliest chairs in the country, but it was discontinued at his death in 1913. At Temple University, Philadelphia, Dr. Victor Robinson teaches medical history, publishes Medical Life, the only English language monthly devoted exclusively to the subject.
