ROBERT M. ZOLLINGER *

Almost every U.S. college or university has its share of faculty and staff

"characters" who are known, mostly ~ehind their backs, by appropriate nicknames. The

Ohio State University is no exception to this rule. Years ago when courtly Rosser D.

Bohannan, for example, was head of the mathematics department he was known as "Bonny."

About the same time the head of the astronomy department was dubbed "Hydrochloric"

Lord. This was partly because his initials were HCL but also to distinguish him

from his brother, Nat W. Lord, who was the first dean of the Engineering College.

In 1946 Dr. Robert M. Zollinger, B.Sc., 1925, and M.D., 1927, returned to the

campus as professor of surgery. The next year he was promoted to department chairman.

It was natural enough for him to be known as "the Big Z." This was chiefly because

of his professional standing but also to distinguish him from his younger brother,

Dr. Richard Zollinger, B.A., 1 32, M.D. Harvard, 1 36, also a member of the surgery

faculty.

Dr. Robert Zolllinger began his professional career in 1927-28 as an assistant in

the surgical research laboratory at Lakeside Hospital in Cleveland. This was followed

by an internship at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, in Boston, under the famed Dr. Harvey

.,. ' - Cushing, of Harvard. He returned to Lakeside Hospital in 1929 for his surgical residency

under the late Dr. Elliott C. Cutler. When the latter went to Harvard in 1932 to

succeed Dr. Cushing, Dr. Zol,linger went along and spent two more years at Peter Bent

Brigham in residency training. He remained at Harvard for fourteen years - from 1932-35

as instructor in surgery, from 1935-38 as associate in surgery, and assistant professor

from 1939-46.

In World War II, Zollinger served with the Fifth General Hospital, the Harvard

Medical school unit. He became chief of its surgical service and then its commanding

officer. In time he became senior consultant on general surgery for the European

Theater of Operations in the E.T.O. surgeon's office. He was awarded the French

Legion of Merit. A decade later (1956), he was appointed chairman of the Veterans

RMZ *

Administration special medical advisory group.

After his brief return to Harvard, he was elected professor of surgery at Ohio

! State. He was still going strong there in 1973, but was subject to the University's

i mandatory retirement age of seventy in 1974.

At a time when fat surgical fees were being charged by some members, of the

profession, they did-not seem to concern Dr. Zollinger, particularly where University

personnel were concerned. Once he performed minor but· necessary surgery on a colleague

who was in University Hospital for another reason. He sent no bill and when the patient

made a small "thank you" gift at Christmas, Dr. Zollinger responded with a letter in

which he insisted there was no obligation and closed with the hope that "you won't

need a surgeon again for another 200 years." In another case, where he had done a

double herniotomy on the dean of a college, he again made no charge for his services.

But the dean and his wife found a pair of paintings they hoped the Zollingers would

like and sent them to express their thanks.

In his more than a quarter of a century at Ohio State, all sorts of major honors,

awards and recognition came to Dr. Zollinger. One of these was to be named one of

.,. the first three Regents' Professors at any state university in Ohio in July, 1965.

The state paid $25,000 toward each recipient's salary through the State Board of

Regents. The other two, al~o from Ohio State, were chemists. To qualify for this

distinction the faculty member must have won national recognition from a learned

society or professional group.

Dr. Zollinger was.a prolific professional author. As of 1973 he was the author

or co-author of 250 such publications. Perhaps the most important of these was his

Atlas of Surgical Operations which by then had gone through three editions. His son,

Dr. Robert M. Zollinger, Jr., also a surgeon, was co-author of the third edition.

The senior Zollinger was the author also of the Textbook of Surgery and since 1958

editor of the American Journal of Surgery.

Over the years he had been president of the American Surgical Association and five

related organizations. In 1955 he was chairman of the section on surgery of the '

Americ~n Medical Association and in 1962 chairman of the American Board of Surgery.

In 1965 he became an honorary fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons and had an

honorary doctorate from the University of Lyon, France, along with other international

honors. He also earned the 1964 and 1967 Modern Medicine awards for outstanding

professional performance.

In Ohio he received the Governor's Award in 1966, and the Sullivant Medal at'Ohio I

State in 1965, two years after the Zollinger chair of surgery was created on the campus. I

To top.off all of this Dr. Zollinger was president of the American Rose Society from

1965 to 1967.

ROBERT M. ZOLLINGER

Dr. Robert M. Zollinger, professor and chainnan of the depart

ment of surgery in the Ohio State University College of Medicine, has

been a member of the university faculty since 19l~6. In addition to

his position at the university, Dr. Zollinger was in October, 1960,

named president-elect of the American College of Surgeons. He will

serve· in the presidency the following year.

Born in Millersport, o., Dr. Zollinger attended public schools

there before entering Ohio State where he received his bachelor of

science degree in 1925 and his medical degree in 1927. After complet

ing his university training, he spent 1927-28 as voluntary assistant

in the laboratory of surgical research at Lakeside Hospital, Cleveland,

The following year he was surgical house officer at Peter Bent Brigham

Hospital, Boston, under Dr. Harvey Cushing of Harvard University.

Returning to Ohio in 1929, Dr. Zollinger became associated with

the late Dr. Elliott c. Cutler at Lakeside as assistant resident

surgeon, working in pathology, orthopedics, genital urology, and

gynecology. The next year, 1930-31, he continued in Cleveland as

Crile research fellow in surgery and director of the surgical research

laboratory at Hestern Reserve University. In 1931 he became assistant

resident in general surgery and in 1932 resident surgeon at Lakeside.

He returned to Boston in 1932 as resident surgeon at Peter

Bent Brigham Hospital for the next two years. He served as junior

associate in surgery until 1937, senior associate from 1937 to 1940

and surgeon from 1940-l;2.

In addition to his hospital work, Dr. Zollinger also taught at

Western Reserve from 1930 to 1932 as demonstrator in surgery and at (MORE)

Dr. R. M. Zollinger - 2

Harvard Medical School from 1932 to 1942, where he advanced to the

rank of assistant professor.

Dr. Zollinger entered military service in 19Lf2 with the rank of

major in the Harvard University Unit, Base Hospital No. 5. He spent

three and a half years in Europe as assistant chief and later as

chief of the surgical service. Subsequently, he became senior consul

tant on general surgery for the European Theater of Operations, Office

of the Chief Surgeon. During this time he was advanced to the rank of

colonel and received the Legion of Merit. Af-i:er his return from

Europe, he was director of general surgery for the Veterans' Admission

professional service division.

Along with his hospital and teaching work, Dr. Zollinger has

made many contributions to the field of medical ~·rriting. He and the

late Dr, Cutler were co-authors of the Atlas of Surgical Operations,

now in its second edition. He edited the army's Manual of Surgical

Therapy, European Theater of Operations, has written over 70 articles

for various medical journals, and contri.buted as co-author, two chap

ters to Christopher's Textbook of Surgery.

Dr, Zollinger is an examiner, American Board of Surgery;

president, Interstate Postgraduate Medical Association of North America;

editor-in-chief, American Journal of Surgery; member editorial board,

the American Surgeon; member advisory board, National Grand Rounds;

member, National Board of Examiners, the American Surgical Association,

American College of Surgeons, American Gastroenterological Association,

American Medical Association, Western Surgical Association, and Central

Surgical Association. He was certified by the American Board of

Surgery in 1938. Parents of two children, Robert and Myra Lou, Dr. and Mrs.

Zollinger reside at 83 South Columbia Ave., Columbus.

Roses for Relaxation A quiet moment in the life of one of the busiest of men is captured in today's cover picture. Dr. Robert M. Zollinger, chairman of surgery at Ohio State University, engages in a long list of activities, but still finds time for hobbies, among which is the beautiful garden at his home at 83 South Columbia Avenue, Columbus. Regarded as a passionist for perfection, the man known as "the Big

Z" at the University is one of the few who have held the offices of presidency of the American College of Surgeons, presid.ency of the American Surgical Association and chairman of the American Board of Surgery, along with a host of other high honors. (Page 6)

Zollinger {with glasses) insists on best possible results be it in his Hcrwleas technique at the operating table or editing a clinical presentation.

HE HOLDS the TRIPLE CROWN of SURGERY

This portrait of Zollinger recently ·completed by Artist Thomas E. Stephens will hang in the new ACS building in Chicago.

Ohio Stat~'s Dr. Robert M. Zollinger World Renowned for Leadership in Profession

AMERICAN surgery, like golf, has its "grand slam" - presidency of the American College of Surgeons, presidency of the American Surgical As· sociation and chainnanship of the American Board of Surgery. Fewer than a 'handful of men have ever achieved the triple recognition. One of the few is Ohio State University's distinguished chairman ot surgery, Dr. Robert M. Zollinger.

Around the campus they call him "The Big Z"a brisk, compact man of 61, shiny bald, with intent blue eyes, delightful wit, a mcrctninl temper and a strong sense of mission about surgery and its goals, With a steely eye and a vocabularly richly larded by expletives, he can reduce an erring surgical resident to near-despair-and frequently docs. With a rapid, pointed series of questions, fired machine-gun style, he can have equal devastating effect as a panel moderator upon some of his most erudite surgical colleagues.

Friends cite his "passion for pcrfection"-an in· sistence on the best possible results whether it be in his own flawless technique at the operating table, editing his own material for a clinical presentation or checking the care of a patient as he makes surgical rounds. This can be a "terribly fru5lrating" experience, understated a former Zollinger trainee. "You can spend an hour of. the most painstaking work over a patient's chart. Then, he'll come in. Without even glancing at the chart, he'll take one look at the patient, pick up unerringly the one thing you've overlooked-and just flatten you cQDlPletely. It's uncanny."

Well aware of his ttpUlation as a tough taskmaster, Zollinger makes no apology. "l think," he said drily, "that l tend to give people credit for being able to do more than they really want to do.'' Then came the engaging grin. "When l blow up, as I do about every half-hour, maybe I dveido it. But my boys get to know me-and l get to know them."

Residents soon learn, as one recalled, that their chief is an astute judge of men, "as fair as he is strict," and that "he just doesn't pick on you unless

you have some potential and he wants to push you into it." Zollinger, conceding this, was quite serious again. "The tendency today is for many professors. not to see patients at all-but I'm still a surgeon primarily. When these boys arc responsible for life and death, I respond pretty fast-and I guess I demand pretty high standards.''

Some have attnOuted the Zollinger discipline to his own training under some Of the surgical czars of the age, but he doesn't entirely agree. Perhaps it goes back further, to the time a young Millersport boy enrolled in Ohio State University to study medi· cine, and his farmer father gave him just one admonition: "If you're going to be a doctor, be a good one." He had grown up along the Buckeye Lake shore, raised 4-H animals to exhibit at the Lancaster fair, sold milk lo summer cottagers to earn school money.

No earlier physicians appear on the Zollinger family tree, and nobody knows just how both Robert and his only brother, Richard, (now chief of surgery at Mt. Carmel Hospital) were attracted to medicine. Young Bob &tarted his medical coune at old· Protestant Hospital (later White Cross) and moved to the campus with the newly established medi<::al school at OSU. Saturdays and vacations, he worked on lhe farm and later in the pharmacy at the Columbus State School. In 1927, ·his medical degree won, he took the "Bo$f.on examinations" for surgieal internship and was assigned to Peter Bent Brigham Hospital.

At this point, two strong inffuences entered the career of the aspiring young doctor. He was assigned to work at Brigham under the brilliant Or. Harvey Cushing. In the intervening six months, he went

to Western Reserve University and was a votuntary assistant in surgery 'for Dr. Elliott Cutler, an eminent cardiac sur~ who was later to be Cushing's sue~ cessor at Harvard. Interning under Cushing, still the pre-eminent name in neurosurgery, was to brush only occaaionally with an Olympian figure, Zollinger recalled. ''For three months, you were called 'a

(Continued)

ZOLLINGER continued pup.' One of your jobs was to get out the night be· fore all the wrgics1 inltnlmcnts Dr. Cushing would need the next day and hide them away so nobody else could find them. Then, you laid them all out on the table next morning at least an hour before he was 9Cheduled to begin. You never really arrived," he added, "until you could go through a complete brain operation with him and not have him ask you for a single instrument."

His association with Cutler was longer, closer and even more rewarding--at Cleveland's Lakeside Hospital from 1929 to 1932, for another decade at Harvard, then through World War II and the immediate postwar period. "Cutler and Cushing were restless fclJO'WS," he mused. "They never wanted the

status quo, thought there must be a better answer. Cushing took the fear out of dealing with the brain .. Cutler did the same with the heart-he was more or Jess the father of cardiac surgery."

Punuing this thought, he mentioned another colleague, head of a midwestem university surgical department. "He's the bc!t profCISOr of surgery in the business, and do you know why? He has ideas." He explained that this man and others like him refuse to tread "that narrow little path so many follow, right in line with everybody else. Every profession is looking for the rugged individualist, the non-confonnist, the fellow who will stir up controveny deliberately ju!t to make people think a little." Others

say Zollinger himself has this quality. "He teaches by exaggeration. He'll deliberately make a provocative statement, such as, 'There's been no improvement in cancer surgery for 25 years.' You know hotter, but you've got to prove it-and that's what he wants.''

Practicing surgery, teaching at Harvard, Zol

linger advanced in eight years from instructor to a.ssi!lant professor and gradually settled into his own surgical specialty-the stomach and gastrointestinal tract. In 1942, he joined the Army with his "Harvard Unit," advancing to the rank of colonel and the post of commanding officer of the 5th General Hospital near Carcnton, France. With a Legion of Merit for his wartime work, he returned to Harvard for a short time. Then, his Ohio alma mater callCd.

Jn 1946, he returned as professor and chainnan of surgery to the campus he had left just 20 years earlier.

Activity around his busy, memento-crowded office on University Hospital's seventh floor, one recent summer afternoon, was typical of this manysided man and the strenuous schedule he maintains. He had completed four · aurgical operations that morning and spent 1 'h. hours in an executive committee session with faculty members, Waiting to see him were the husband of one of the morning's patients, a surgical missionary, residents ready to leave for other posts and others just arriving. On a long

Close associates for nearly two decades, Zollinger, right, and Dr. Elliott C .Cutler pose in a Boston surgery in 1932. They co-authored the "Atlas of Surgical Operations," one of more than 150 Zollinger publications.

work table lay proof sheets and drawings fur another revision in the now-basic surgical tex.t, Atlas of Surgical 0,nrations, which he and Dr. Cutler fint published in 1939. Stacked on the floor was a twofoot-hith pile of manuscripts-submitted material for The American Journal of Surgery of which Zol· linger is editor-in-chief. "Something to do on weekends," he ex.plained. Things were slightly more hectic than usual since the surgery chainnan had just returned from a European trip durinB: which he gave a half-dozen talks, exchanged ideas with European colleagues and received two more professional accolades-an honorary fellowship in the Royal Col· Jege of Surgeons of England and an honorary degree from the University of Lyon. The latter, arter much practice, he accepted in French, prompting a distinguished Dutch profes.wr to tell the honoree jokingly "it was the best 'double Dutch' he'd ever heard."

He has just completed a term as president of the American Surgical Association; is past president and member of the Board of Regents of !he American College of Surgeons and chairman of its public relations committee. He is now ·President of the Society of Medical Consultants of World War JI and will become president in October of the American Rose Society.

Also in the works, this day, was initial research on the 0SU commencement address he'll deliver

next Friday. Characteristically, it will be a major endeavor. "When he gives a talk even now, as many thousands as he has given," said an associate, "he'll go over it and over it, call people into criticize, get it down to within a half-minute Of the time he wants."

Amazingly, he still has time for hobbies. The gracious Zollinger home at 83 South Columbia Avenue is filled with and surrounded by them-broad, glowing beds of roses and other flowers; an arbor for the climbing gourds he raises to exhibit; an exquisite colle<:tion Of Irish Belleek china; tropical fish; prize ribbons for the parakeets he used to raise, and, everywhere, photographs and mementoes of the Zollinger travels and varied associations.

Mrs. Zollinger, Ohio-born and an OSU graduate in home economics, shares her husband's interests, has her own collections of china and other art objects and is, like him, an accredited rose judge. Their son, Dr. Robert, a Harvard graduate and father of their one grandchild, is in his sixth year of general surgery at Peter Bent Brigham. Their daupter, Myra Lou, 'is married to Roger Waud, an assistant professor of economics at the University of Chicago. Mrs. Waud and Mrs. Zollinger, both Wellesley graduates, have taught school while their husbands completed their edw:ation.

The "big three" of the American College of Surgeons in 1962, the year of its SOth anniversary, were a trio of good friends. Dr. J. Engelbert Dunphy, Dr. Loyal Davis and Dr. Zollinger.

ZOLLINGER continued in his profession, this influential voice of United States surgery had 90f11C reflective comments about its future.

In Europe, talking with colleagues this summer, he found continuing interest in one of his major clinical contributions - the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome that he and Dr. Edward Ellison, Connerly of the OSU faculty, first described in 1955. They noted then that several patients who developed repeated ulcers, despite surgical removal of affected areas of the stomach, had small tumoni on the islands of the pancreas. They suggested the poll!libility of a hormone secreted by the tumors causing the e:<cess stomach acid. An English physiologist proved the existence of the hormone five years later. Recently, the same group, in Liverpool have synthesized the hormone, which they call "gastrin." It could lead to development of a chemical antagonist to one cause of ulcers, Dr. Zollinger eJtplained. "The fight against ulcers still continues," he commented. An anti-ulcer pill is a distinct possibility some day but, meanwhile, "too many people have ulcer pain too long when they could get relief from conservative surgery. It is safe enough that they should set a lime limit on being miserable."

In 1955, men who had trained with and under Zollinger £ormcd the Robert M. Zollinger Club and presented him, in a surprise ceremony. with the long bronze roster which hangs in his office. In the in-9Cription, lhey referred gratefully to his teaching, surgical example and "£orcible surgical lcgacy"--o. reference to his continuing efforts to improve his profession. In his presidential address to the American College of Surgeons in 1961, he urged members to go back to Biblical tithing-to devote one-tenth of their "most valued possession," time, to professional improvement and ccinsequent better care of patients.

A Columbus physician colleague gives a more personal illustration. "There I was, in the hospital a£tcr serious surgery, not knowing whether I would live or die, and this big genius comes. in and asks me if I would keep notes on my lhoughts and rcaclions those first few days. I did, though, and I wouldn't take anything for them now. He knCw that, of course, but he also wanted the reactions of a trained mind so he'd know better how to treat other patients in the same circumstances."

Viewing recent developments on the political side of me<licinc with less f('lrcboding than many of his colleagues, Zollinger says only, "I would be for anything for the improvement of general knowledge and the better care of patients." He even tempers somewhat his look at the future of surgery itself. ''There are more opportunities in surgery than ever before, but surgery is basically destructive. We must continue to fix congenital anomalies, of course, and as long as people drive fnst cars, we'll get trauma. But, there's no reason, just because surgery i11 becoming safer -all the time, that we 5houldn'I try to avoid it. Caneer, for instance. Let's find the cause of the b1uic disease and get rid of it."

Surgeon tells OS U to tout acade:mics

By Tom Sheehan Jjg,g''' OSU Ropo'I" \ ;;l-'6--~ 3

World-renowned surgeon Dr. Robert M. Zollinger believes Ohio State University's academic image should be as highly touted as its athletic program.

Zollinger, 80, a former OSU professor who will be the commencement speaker Friday when 1,700.bSU students receive their degrees, believes university President Edward Jennings is on the right track in getting the academic image known.

"I like what Jennings is doing," he said. "He is a leader

"' Dispatch photo

Dr. Rober'.i· Mfzoll'inger· ·

Quality is important to any university, especially to its graduates, Dr. Robert M. Zollinger said.

and is bringing a new era to the university."

Zollinger said during a recent interview that quality is important to any university, especially to its graduates:

He said the president's efforts to increas<;..faculty, obtain more outside funds. and conduct more research at OSU will en-

hance the school's image of academic quality.

"Michigan and sprue of the other Big Ten schools have been able to achieve this," he pointed out.

Zollinger said he agrees with the Ohio Board of Regents that enrollment at medical sch.ools should be restricted.

"\Ve're going to get to a saturation point," he said. "The percentage of doctors has greatly increased, especially in the bigger cities."

Zollinger, affectionately known on campus as "Big Z," is a former president of the American College of Surgeons and the American Surgical Association: He said he stopped performing surgery about six months ago.

He was awarded his medical degree in 1927 at OSU. After serving on the faculty at Harvard and in World War 11, he returned to OSU in 1946 and was named professor and chairman of the OSU Department of Sur-ge,ry. He retired from OSU in 1974.

During his 28-year career at OSU, Zollinger received many awards and honors, including the university's highest award, the Joseph M. Sullivant Medal in 1965. He was the commencement speaker at OSU's summer graduation ceremonies in 1965.

In 1977, he received the Sheen Award from the American Medical Association as the outstanding doctor of-m-edical science in the United ,States.

50/VOLUME 1, NUMBER 1

Historical Perspectives The Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome

Q uite by chance in the early fifties, Dr. Edwin Ellison and I each took care of a patient whose gastric acid output was so great that total gastrectomy was re

quired as a lifesaving measure. The finding of an islet cell tumor that did not produce insulin in the pancreas of both these patients suggested to us that the twnors might be producing a potent gastric secretagogue. Dr. Ellison, a dedicated hard worker and a brilliant surgeon with a background in chemistry, collected experimental and clinical data that supported a relationship between these islet cell twnors and peptic ulceration.

After much soul-searching, we decided to present our concept that the tumors were making not insulin but a potent gastric secretagogue to the American Surgical Association at the annual meeting in May 1955, with full knowledge that we might be challenged. In discussing the paper. I said, "If these observations accomplish nothing more than renew interest in the ulcer problem and suggest new avenues of s tudy, we will feel justified in reporting these two cases."

Some leading surgeons and gastrointestinal physiologists readily accepted our concept, which provided an explanation for the occasional failure of standard ulcer operations; others were somewhat reluctant to accent secretagogue. However, slowly but surely, reports in support of our concept accumulated around the world. The interest of Professor R. A. Gregory, a physiologist at the University of Liverpool, England, was stimulated by a discussion of our findings during a visit with his classmate, Dr. Ogden, Professor of Physiology at Ohio State, and returned to England to continue his work on gastrin. In 1960, Professor Gregory proved that these tumors did indeed produce a potent gastric secretagogue, gastrin, in amounts more than 30 times that produced by an equal weight of porcine antrum. The pancreas had been unmasked, revealing its potential to produce something other than insulin. By 1968, Dr. James Mc.Guigan had developed a radioimmunassay to measure the

gastrin in serum, thus confirming the diagnosis. Interest in gastrointestinal hormones was stimulated, and additional clinical syndromes associated with islet cell tumors. such as vipoma, somatostatinoma, glucagonoma, and others, were described, and the diagnoses established by new radioimmunoassays.

Although the report of the two cases scarcely caused a ripple locally, it created great interest in the fields of gastroenterology, physiology, and immunology at national and international levels. Grant support for the department of surgery was stimulated, and program participation at national levels was enhanced. Junior members of the department became candidates for chairmanships of other departments of surgery. Dr. Ellison became Professor and Chairman of the Department of Surgery at Marquette University. Both of us were honored by the presidency of regional as well as national surgical societies. Honorary degrees and fellowships from abroad were received over the ensuing years. The Zollinger-Ellison syndrome took its place in the medical dictionaries.

It is of interest that, later, when reviewing our past clinical experience, we found a well documented similar patient upon whom I had operated in 1947. The significance of the outcome was not appreciated at the time, except to suggest that I, the new Professor of Surgery, was not competent to per form a vagotomy. The 12-hour gastric output had been decreased by only 50%. However, two weeks later. the acid had fallen to 7mEq/h, when a pancreatic islet cell tumor, which upon la ter review proved to be a gastrinoma, had been resected!

A small staff dedicated to giving a good account of themselves made this era a memorable one. The Department of Surgery of The Ohio State University, as well as those primarily involved, will long be indebted to the gastrinoma.

Ellison averages one Z-E patient per 1nonth in the center for tests. Although 30 percent of Z-E p;:1tients can be cured by surgically removing the tumor and tnedically treating the ulcers, others have tun1ors that cannot be found or treated by other means.

Dr. Robe1t M. Zoll inger, 88, professor emeritus and foTmer chainnan of the Deprutment of Sw·-gery in the Ohio State University College of Medicine, died yesterday at his Bexley home after an extended illness.

Zollinger was known internationally as a surgeon, sw·gical researcher, author and editor. He was respected particulru·ly for his work on ailments of the stomach and intestinal bClct.

Zollinger was one of the few U.S. sw-geons to win biple honors as president of the American College of SW'geons, from 1961 to 1962, chairman of the Amelican Boru-d of Sw·gery in 1963 and president of the American Surgical ·Association in 1965.

His most noted work was his study on the Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, which linked inbC1Ctable peptic ulcers with malignant tumors of the pancreas.

Ohio State University Hospitals' sw-gical services and professor and chailman of the medical college's sw·gery depaitment in 1946 and held those positions until his retfrement in 1974.

After leaving the operating room for the last time, Zollinger noted he would finally have weekends off.

"I always wondered what people did with all that time," he said. Although a member of the Columbus Country Club, he took a bit of delight in saying he had never been on the golf cow-se there.

Born Sept. 4, 1903, in Millersport, in Fairfield County, he sold milk to Buckeye Lake cottagers and raised 4-H animals to pay for his schooling.

Throughout his medical career, which began with his graduation from OSU's medical school in 1927, Zollinger authored or co-authored more than 250 medical publications.

He was editor in chief of the American Jounwl of Surgmy and held edito11al boai-d positions on the Jmmwl of ~troentm'Ol,ogy, (Medical) History of World War II, Cancer and The Surgical Team.

PI-ior to his positions at OSU, Zollinger served in the U.S. Almy

Medical Corps, which led to his posts as senior consultant in sw·gery-European Theater of Operations, and commanding officer of the 5th Ckneral Hospital.

After the war, he served as national consultant in sw·gery to the sw-geon gene1Cl! of the Almy and as medical director and director of geneiCl! sw-gery with the Veterans Ad

In 1971, Zollinger was appointed to the board of Metropolitan Parks of Columbus and Franklin County and seived for 20 years.

An international autho1ity on roses, he was an accredited rose judge and p1-esident of the Ameiican Rose Soci~ty in 1966. He also served on the boai·d of dil·ectors of the Ameiican Horticultw-e Society.

A FTER the death of Robert M. Zollinger, M.O., professor emeritus of surgery, in June

Van Brimmer says, "I feel this is the best collection we could have obtained because of its extent. It's larger than Dr. Koop's (Charles Everett Koop, former U.S. surgeon general], about four to five times larger." The Zollinger collection consists of 150 cubic feet of materials spanning Dr. Zollinger's entire career. To an a rchivist, one cubic foot of ma terial is roughly equivalent to 2,800 pages.

Since then, Raimund E. Goerler, Ph.D., University archivist, and Barbara Van Brimmer, head of collection development and curator at the H ealth Sciences Library, have organized the Robert M. Zollinger Papers Project. The project's purpose is to establish a permanent home for Dr. Zollinger's papers and memorabilia, as well as the records of the Zollinger Surgical

P art of the collection has already been boxed and numbered, and a rough index

has been started. Goerler and Van Brimmer are seeking $51,500 to purchase equipment and supplies and to hire a professional archivist and student staff to properly arrange, describe, and store the collection.

"Given the prominence of Dr. Zollinger and the size of the collection, we feel it requires its O\vn

project archivist in order to make the materials available within a reasonable time," Goerler says.

Once a curator has been hired, it will take one year to organize the collection, which will then be made available to researchers by appointment.

In addition to the funds for the papers project, Van Brimmer is seeking $1

million to support the creation of a historical research center on the fifth floor of the Health Sciences Library to preserve Central Ohio's contributions to medicine. She says there is a need for such a center. "This is · a dream I've had for a long time. We have many physicians and discoveries that have been overlooked. Tremendous developments have been made in medicine, and now is the time to think

about recognizing and preserving Central Ohio's heritage of medical leadership."

Goerler first expressed interest in the collection to Dr. Zollinger in December 1983, but Dr. Zollinger was reluctant to consider parting with his papers because he was still an active scholar. When Dr. Zollinger realized he was dying, however, he agreed to donate them to Ohio State, and the

first transfer \Vas made two ""'eeks before his death, Goerler says.

J ust before Christmas 1995, Barbara Van Brimmer received notice of a very special gift that

would make a long-standing dream come true.

Van Brimmer, curator at the John A. Prior Health Sciences Library, learned that the Division of General Surgery would donate $25,000 to the Robert M. Zollinger Legacy project, of

which Van Van Brimmer Brimmer is co-director.

renowned surgeon who chaired the Department of Surgery from 1947 to 1974. Zollinger died in 1992.

Van Brimmer and Goerler had estimated that the cost of preserving and indexing the Zollinger collection would be $50,000, and this sum became the goal of the project's fundraising campaign.

By 1995, through appeals to members of the Zollinger Surgical Society, Van Brimmer had raised $25,000, half of the total required for equipment and personnel needed to store and catalog the Zollinger collection, and

she had created a Zollinger endowment fund.

"I sent thankyou letters to all the donors, letting them know that we had not reached our goal of $50,000, but that I appreciated their contributions," Van Brimmer says.

It was then, just before Christmas, that E. Christopher Ellison, M.O., professor of surgery and chief of the Division of General Surgery, notified Medical Center Development that the Division would give $25,000 to the project.

"This donation brought us to our goal. It was really exciting," Van Brimmer says.

The donation means Van Brimmer will be able to hire a special projects archivist and student assistants to begin the task of organizing, storing and cataloging the collection as soon as it can be returned to the Prior Health Sciences Library, which is currently undergoing renovation. The building is scheduled to reopen this year.

"The collection is extensive. We have well over 400 boxes of material and artifacts. During his tenure at the University, Dr. Zollinger corresponded with almost all the notable

surgeons of the time, nationally and internationally, so his correspondence alone will be highly regarded by researchers. We have all of the patient files for the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome study, which are currently being used by Dr. Ellison for extended research," Van Brimmer says.

She emphasizes that she expects the collection to grow. "The endowment would support any additions that might be made to the collection. We'd like to include any historical documents about Dr. Zollinger and his work. The Zollinger Surgical Society is invited to archive its materials with the collection. I'd like to encourage the entire Department of Surgery to archive their files, as well."

The Zollinger collection will be housed in a Medical Heritage Center, which will occupy the entire fifth floor of the health sciences library. The center will include a preservation lab, offices for scholars engaged in

extended historical research, a reading room, a formal multipurpose room, and a kitchen.

"I want to keep people aware of the outstanding people we have at the University Medical Center. The fifth floor is going to be a real showpiece, and I hope that it will boost pride within the Medical Center. I think we deserve that sense of accomplishment."

"It's really difficult, with a university this size, to maintain an historical perspective. We're trying to make sure that we have a good history of the medical center, and I hope people see this as a good beginning to preserving our heritage," Van Brimmer says. ~ ...

"IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE A DOCTOR, BE A GOOD ONE" a biography of Robert M. Zollinger, MD bV Laura Lewis

Robert Milton Zollinger, M.D. was one of the giants of American surgery. \V.ith a career that spanned much of the zom century, Dr. Zollinger was respected by his peers, feared by his students and loved by his patients. Zolly, as his friends called him, had a knack for being successful at whatever he did. He was the president of almost every society he belonged to, including the .American Board of Surgery, the American Surgical Association, the American College of Surgeons and even the ... -\merican Rose Society.

Born September 4, 1903, Zollinger \Vas raised on his family's farm in /v[illersporr, Ohio. He attended grade school in a one room schoolhouse a mile from his home. For high school, he had to travel rhree miles into to\vn, so he rode his pony, Bob, and stabled him at the barbers during classes. Zollinger \vas industrious, even at an early age. Utilizing his pony and a cart, he developed a thriving business delivering milk and vegetables from the farm to his neighbors. This was considered his job and he had to taUy his receipts each night after supper with his parents. Besides running his business, he also found time to earn 1 varsity letter in basketbaU; Zollinger learned al.I rhe pbys during lunch since his delivery route :ind chores kept him from staying after school to practice.

~-\s a young man, Zollinger wanted

to attend \Vest Point. That dream faded when he decided to become a surgeon, even though he hated the sight of blood. When he told his parents his plans, his father gave him one piece of advice, "If you're going to be a doctor, be a good one." His parents always expressed an absolute confidence

that he and his brother Richard would be successful at anything they attempted. This \V:lS a trait that Zollinger carried into his adult life, ahvays expecting the best from everyone and keenly disappointed when he did not get it.

Afrer graduation, he \Vas offered an internship at the Peter Bene Brigham Hospital (PBBH) in Boston, under the tutelage of another

surgical master, Harvey Cushing, i\if.D. Before he began his internship, Cushing sent Zollinger to Western Reserve in Cleveland for six months to work with one of Cushing's favorite pupils, Elliott Carr Cutler, zyr.n. Their association would span the next t\venty years and Cutler would

become one of the great influences in Zollinger's life.

Zollinger returned to PBBH in 1928 to begin his internship. There he was regarded as a country boy from that "cow town" Columbus. He \Vas determined to know the answer to every question in order to prove that his education was every bit as good as his Ivy League peers. This endeavor proved time consuming, but provided Zollinger with a strong knowledge of his subject matter. When his internship \Vas over, Zollinger rene\ved his association with Cutler by returning to \V'estern Reserve in 1929 for his residency. Since

PBBH interns had been forbidden to

marry, that same year he finally married Louise Kie\Vet. Louise supported the couple in their early days of marriage by teaching, since "Z" was only making fifty doUars a week as a resident.

Cutler returned ro PBBH ro rake over for Cushing as the ;\foseley Professor of Surgery in 1932. Zollinger \Vent \vith him as his chief resident and by 1939, he \Vas an .. \ssistant Professor of Surgery. During their time together at Harvard and PBBH, Zollinger and Cutler would publish the first of seven editions of the nO\V

cont. on p.3

Cont. from p. 1 famous .4tlas of Surgical Operations. "Z" did much of the: work on the text; yet, Cutler's name appeared first on the cover. \\/'hen Zollinger asked him whose name should be first Cutler had responded that they should be listed alphabetically.

Zollinger joined the army in 1941, when \Var seemed imminent for the United States. In doing so, he gave up a thriving praccice and four years with his family. He felt that if he joined the Harvard Unit so \Vould many of his younger colleagues. Zollinger hoped to be commissioned as a Colonel and the commanding officer of the unit. Instead, he was made a ~ifajor and the • ..\ssistant Chief of the Surgical Service. Immediately upon reaching camp in Ireland he called upon his early farm experience

and began planting a garden. He had gathered money from everyone in the unit and purchased seeds before they had left rhe l:S. Because of this foresight he \Vas soon appointed the Post Beautification Officer, a job \vhich allo\ved him to nurrure anorher of his passions, roses. Over rhe next four years, Zollinger \vould rise to the rank of Colonel and command the 51

h

General Hospital. He \Vould also earn rhe Legion of ;\l[erit A\vard for rhe development of mobile surgical teams and Battle Stars for Normandy, Norrhern France and Rhineland.

Zollinger rerurned to his position at Harvard in 1946. He \vas soon offered a position as a Professor of Surgery at Ohio Srare; wirhin ::i year he became rhe Chairman of rhe Deparnnent of Surgery, beginning a nearly thirty year reign. In 1955, \Vorking \virh Ed\vin Ellison :\LD., he

discovered the Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, which dealt with the relationship bet\veen non-beta islet cell tumors of the pancreas and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. He also started rhe medical illustration division as a part of the Department of Surgery. This was surely influenced by the need for new illustrations for each subsequent edition of the Atlas of Surgical Operations.

Despite his busy schedule, Zollinger was the editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Surgery from 1958 to 1986. He traveled the country lecturing on Z-E syndrome and receh~ed numerous awards for his efforts. Zollinger published over 300 articles in professional journals and encouraged those around him to research and write prolifically. He was the recipient of honorary degrees from the University of Lyon, France (1965) and held honorary fello\vships in the Royal College of Surgeons of England (1965) and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (1966). The American Medical Association bestowed their highest honor, the Sheen Award, upon him, recognizing him as the Outstanding Doctor of :Nfedical Science in the United States for 1977. Zollinger was even offered the presidency of The Ohio State University, but rurned it down. He felt that he would not have any time left for surgery. Besides, he reasoned, "There are a lot more out of work college presidents than surgeons."

Dr. "Z" was a difficult taskmaster who expected nothing less than perfection from himself and his colleagues. On rounds he would fire a resident on the elevator for some misdemeanor, only to rehire them by the time they had reached the 7m floor. As hard as he \WS on his students, he \Vas equally kind tc his pati..::nts. He believed that they should always be the top priority of a surgeon and would remind his staff of that when necessary. Once, he had a large chart made of the golf handicaps of each surgery department member, clearly showing where he felt their priorities lie.

Outside of surgery, Zollinger was a man of many interests. He raised prizewinning gourds. He loved roses and was an accredited rose judge. He constantly grumbled chat his frequent lecruring and travel kept his roses from \vinning first prize. He also developed a passion for photography, which he indulged, every \vinter, on Sanibel Island.

Despite his numerous honors and

international recognition, Dr. Zollinger never rested on his laurels. Even .ir-rer his retirement in 197 4, Zolly continued to lecture around the \vorld. Ht! remained involved in the Department of Surgery as Professor and Chairman Emerirus. His quest for excellence continued up until his death in 1992. from pancreatic c:i.ncer. Perhaps he is best described in his O\\.·n

\vords. Once, \vhen asked hov...- he '-"·ould like to be remembered he replied, "They should \vrite on my tombstone: 'teacher, surgeon, soldier and farmer.' .. -\.nd m:· \\.ife may remember that she says I'm an 1musing fello\v to live \\.-ith."

Laura Lewis was hired to sort and inventory the Zollinger Archi~·es in January. It is estimated to be a 1 ·year project. The collection contains papers from his office, publications .md his role in varioies organizations, as well as much personal memorabilia. Laura has a degree in history from OS U and has especia//y enjoyed the WW1! information co//ected by Dr. lo/linger. Once the archive is completed, an inventory wi// be available for use in the Medical Heritage Center, as we// as on-line. The goal of the Center is to make the material accessible to researchers internationtzlly. Our thanks to the Department of Surgery and Dr. E. Christopher Ellison, the lo/linger Society and lo/linger supporters for providing the funding/or chis project.

Resolution in Memoriam

November 5, 1999 meeting, Board of Trustees The Ohio State University

Richard W. Zollinger

The Board of Trustees of The Ohio State University expresses its sorrow upon the death on September 13, 1999, of Richard W. Zollinger, Clinical Professor Emeritus in the Department of Surgery.

Dr. Zollinger was born on January 10, 1912, in Millersport, Ohio. He received his undergraduate degree from The Ohio State University in 1933 and his medical degree from Harvard Medical School in 1936. Dr. Zollinger obtained his specialty training in surgery as an intern at Long Island College Hospital and a resident at The Ohio State University Hospitals.

He then entered military service in the Army Air Corp in 1942 until 1946 having attained the rank of major. Returning to civilian life in Columbus, he established a thriving private practice in general surgery. Along with private practice, he was dedicated to the training of future physicians. He founded the medical education department at Mt. Carmel Medical Center, Columbus, where he also served as the chairman of the Department of Surgery and Program Director of the Mount Carmel surgical residency.

He authored numerous articles and book chapters and invented several surgical instruments. He was a member of many prestigious national and local medical societies and served on numerous committees. His leadership in surgery was recognized by his peers through his election to the presidency of the Eastern Surgical Society, the Ohio Chapter of the American College of Surgeons, and the Columbus Surgical Society.

Dr. Zollinger made significant contributions to the mission of The Ohio State University College of Medicine and Public Health and the Department of Surgery. He was active in clinical rotations of residents and medical students and was instrumental in their training. He shared his wealth of clinical experience through continual participation in Departmental conferences and seminars.

On behalf of the University, the Board of Trustees expresses to the family of Richard W. Zollinger its deep sympathy and sense of understanding in their loss. It was directed that this resolution be inscribed upon the minutes of the Board of Trustees and that a copy be tendered to the family as an expression of the Board's heartfelt sympathy.

SURGICAL HISTORY

MEDICAL HERITAGE CENTER

Archival work on Zollinger memorabilia completed

Inventory of "premier" collection

available to researchers online

The Medical Heritage Center's archival work on the collected papers, photographs and

memorabilia of the late RobertM. Zollinger, M.D., has been completed.

he archival project was supported in part by the Department of Surgery and the Zollinger Surgical Society.

Zollinger, an internationally renowned surgeon, was chairman of the Van Brimmer

Department of Surgery from 1947 to 1974. He died in 1992.

The Zollinger archive is a complete collection of materials documenting Zollinger 's personal life and professional career. The collection includes his personal papers, teaching materials, and papers and photographs documenting his professional associations and military service.

Barbara Van Brimmer, curator at the Medical Heritage Center, says the archive came from three different locations. "We were able to synthesize it and get rid of duplications. Now we have I 66 cubic feet of materials - that's I 66 boxes representing his life," Van Brimmer says. 'This is a very big collection, due to the fact

"[The collection is] ...

important because

it's far-reaching.

It encompasses the . -

world of surgery."

that he [Zollinger] was so meticulous about keeping everything documenting his life 's work and history. It 's one of the premier collections you could have.

"It's important because it's farreaching," she says. "It encompasses the world of surgery because Dr. Zollinger was so prominent. There's a good representation of surgery that is available to historians. It's a very full and rich collection."

Van Brimmer says the collection continues to grow. "If people have stories they want to write down or memorabilia they'd like to add to the collection, we can still do that," she says. "We're still continuing to add to the collection." A recent addition is a portrait of Zollinger by the late Ohio painter Emerson Burkhart.

Work on the collection was completed over the course of a year by archivist Laura Lewis, who reviewed and sorted it into "series" or topics. Photographs were pulled out and placed in a separate collection, after paper copies were made and placed in the main collection.

"We've found that more people want photographs than want letters and correspondence," Van Brimmer says.

Archival work on films in the collection has been postponed temporarily. "Film is still considered the best archival medium, but the films in the collection are not in the best condition," says Jane Witherspoon, assistant curator at the Medical Heritage Center. "We would look at transferring them to new film and making second copies in a more usable medium, such as VHS or DVD."

Van Brimmer says that once Zollinger realized he was dying, he agreed to donate his papers to Ohio State. The first transfer of materials was made two weeks before his death.

The inventory of the Zollinger collection is available online at [bones.med.ohio-state.edulheritage]. •!•
