چکیده
In a talk presented in 1922 to the Society of Clinical Surgery, Dr. Harvey Cushing, the eminent neurological surgeon, said that, "Someone has divided mankind into those who deserve a biography and those who do not, the former being subdivided into oneand two-volume people; those entitled to three can scarcely enter into any calculation. Yet individuals or their agglomerations, when too near at hand, are difficult to draw in proper perspective" [1]. Little is known about Joseph Marshall Flint, and little has been written. The records are sparse, his correspondence was not extensive, and other than a memorial account of Flint and his career written by Samuel Clark Harvey in 1944 [2], no biographer has yet come forward to set down his course. This presentation will consider Flint's career in general, but focus primarily on his important contribution to the establishment of the "full-time" system at Yale. Flint was the seventh professor of surgery at Yale, preceded by Nathan Smith, Thomas Hubbard, Jonathan Knight, Francis Bacon, David Paige Smith, and William Carmalt. Flint, a Hopkins graduate and chairman of surgery from 1907 to 1921, brought Samuel Harvey back to New Haven from the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital where Harvey had been a resident under Cushing from 1914 to 1917, and the Cabot fellow in surgical research at the Harvard Medical School. These three institutions in Boston, New Haven, and Baltimore were inextricably related in those days, and perhaps in these days as well. Three men had come from training at the Brigham to Yale: Samuel Harvey, John Fulton, and William German.
