Guy Hinsdale was born on 26 Oct. 1858 in Brooklyn, N.Y., to Theodore and Grace (Webster) Hinsdale. He married
Mary P. Graham on 11 March 1890; they had one daughter. Hinsdale died in Charlottesville, Va., on 27 April 1948 of paralysis and pneumonia.
Hinsdale attended Amherst College where he received an A.B. (1878) and an A.M. (1881). He received his M.D. from the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1881. His thesis topic was potassium nitrate.
After graduation, Hinsdale set up private practice in Philadelphia where he became Assistant Physician at the Orthopedic Hospital and Infirmary for Nervous Diseases and Presbyterian Hospital. He was appointed Associate Professor of Climatology at the Medico-Chirurgical College of Philadelphia (1905-1917) and Professor of Climatology at the University of Pennsylvania (1917-1919). He also served as Medical Director of the Homestead at Hot Springs, Va. (1904-1929) and Medical Director of Greenbrier at White Sulphur Springs, Va. (1929-1942).
Hinsdale was a very active member of the American Academy of Medicine (Vice-President, 1906-1907), the American Climatological and Clinical Association (Secretary, 1894-1918; President, 1919), and the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis (President, 1900-1902). He also was a member of the American Medical Association, the American Neurological Society, and a fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine, London. Dr. Hinsdale was elected to the Fellowship of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia on 6 Jan. 1892.
H. Lenox Hodge was born in Philadelphia on 30 July 1836 to Hugh L. and Margaret (Aspinall) Hodge. He married Harriet Roosevelt on 7 Jan. 1869. Hodge died on 16 June 1881 in Philadelphia. He received his A.B. in 1855, and A.M. and M.D. in 1858 from the University of Pennsylvania. After graduating, he was a Resident Physician at the Pennsylvania Hospital (1858-1860). Hodge set up private practice in Philadelphia in 1860, eventually specializing in surgery and the diseases of women. During the Civil War, Hodge served as a Surgeon to Satterlee Hospital in Philadelphia (1862). He was a member of the Pa. Reserve Corps of Surgeons, and was Pension Surgeon to the U.S. Sanitary Commission. A gifted speaker, Hodge was quite successful as a private lecturer on operative surgery. Together with Drs. Bolling and J. Cheston Morris, he founded a quiz association for medical students in 1861. It became know as the Medical Institute, a namesake of Dr. Chapman’s organization, and lasted until 1872. Hodge served as a Demonstrator of Surgery (1861-1863) at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1864 he became Surgeon to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
