(Isabelle Hollister), 1859-1945Administrative/Biographical HistoryAbstract:Franklin H. Martin (b. 1857, Ixonia, Wisconsin; d. 1935, Chicago, Illinois) founded the journal “Surgery,Gynecology and Obstetrics” (now the Journal of the American College of Surgeons) in 1905. In 1910, heorganized the Clinical Congress of Surgeons of North America (now the annual Clinical Congress of theAmerican College Surgeons) and in 1913 he founded the American College of Surgeons. During World War I,he served as a member of the Advisory Commission of the U.S. Council of National Defense. His wife Isabelletook an active part in his career. Their papers include correspondence, diaries, scrapbooks, casebooks,clippings, publications, and photographs.Biographical History:Franklin H. Martin was born in Ixonia, Wisconsin in 1857. He entered the Chicago Medical College (nowNorthwestern University Medical School) in Oct. 1877. After his graduation in Mar. of 1880, he served as anintern at Mercy Hospital until 1881. He was on the staff of the South Side Dispensary (1883-1888) and wasProfessor of Gynecology at the Policlinic of Chicago (1886-1888). Beginning in 1887, he was for many yearsa gynecologist at the Women’s Hospital of Chicago. Also in 1887, he organized the Charity Hospital ofChicago. In 1888, with Dr. W.F. Coleman, he organized the Post-Graduate Medical School of Chicago.The education of the practicing surgeon was the motivating factor of his career. To enable practicing surgeonsto share their knowledge with others, he founded the journal “Surgery, Gynecology and Obstetrics” in 1905.To give surgeons a chance to personally observe demonstrations of surgical techniques in “wet clinics,” he,along with several others, organized the Clinical Congress of Surgeons of North America in 1910 (now theannual Clinical Congress of the American College Surgeons). Although many were involved in the founding ofthe American College of Surgeons, Martin is known as the visionary and principal founder. The College wasestablished in 1913 to advance ethical practice, patient welfare, hospital standardization, and surgicaleducation and research.In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson appointed Martin a member of the Advisory Commission of the Councilof National Defense. He served as a Colonel in the Medical Corps of the U.S. Army during World War I. Heserved with the American Expeditionary Forces in France for three months.In Apr. 1918, Martin presented to the Advisory Commission a project intended to serve as a clearing-housefor medicine and allied subjects, to be financed from private sources and to be housed at a location offered bythe French government in Paris. Named the “College des Etats Unis d’Amerique,” it was approved by theCouncil of National Defense, but was ultimately made unnecessary by the speeding up of the transportation ofdoctors to France, and the approaching end of the war.In 1933, Martin published his autobiography, “The Joy of Living,” recounting his early life, his life with hiswife Isabelle, his life in medicine, and his life in the military. This autobiography can be considered the firsthistory of the ACS since Martin recounts the story of how it came to be founded and much about its first1
twenty years of existence.Isabelle was the daughter of Dr. John Hollister, a founder of Northwestern University Medical School wherehe was one of Martin’s professors. She and Franklin married in 1886 and she supported him at every step ofhis career. They lived their whole life in the Chicago area, and travelled widely, often in connection with theactivities of the American College of Surgeons.Scope and ContentThis collection contains the combined papers of Franklin H. Martin and his wife, Isabelle H. Martin. Itincludes personal and professional correspondence, casebooks, records of hospitals and medical schools withwhich Martin was associated, speeches, professional writings, correspondence related to Martin’spublications, diaries, obituaries, tributes, photographs, items Martin collected over his long career, andscrapbooks. Also included are documents reflecting the Martins’ early lives, such as family lineage andheritage materials, school books, and photos.
