Theobald Smith, son of Philip Smith by his wife Theresa nee Kexel, was born at Albany, New York, on July 31, 1859. He was educated at public schools there and afterwards went to Cornell University, where he graduated as B.Phil. in 1881. His material circumstances being small, and failing to obtain a post as school teacher, he resolved to study medicine and went to Albany Medical College of Union University whence he graduated as M.D. in 1883, after attending the very short course then prevailing in some medical schools in the United States. He was studious and already widely read as a youth. Being possessed of the good judgement which characterized him throughout life, he was clear in his mind that his training was insufficient to qualify him as a medical practitioner. At Cornell, he worked under two remarkable teachers, Professors Gage and Wilder, with great benefit as he afterwards acknowledged.

Number Of Branches

As a specialty, pediatrics, or "pediatry" or "pedology," as it was called in the nineteenth century, was introduced to America by Abraham Jacobi (1830-1919).1 He wrote: There never was any systematic instruction in the diseases of children, by a teacher appointed for that branch of medicine exclusively, until (in 1860) I established a weekly children's clinic in the New York Medical College, at that time on East Thirteenth Street. That was the first of its kind in the United States. When the college ceased to exist (in 1865) I established a children's clinic in the University Medical College and in 1870 in the [Columbia] College of Physicians and Surgeons. In both these institutions, as also in the Bellevue Hospital Medical College, such clinics have existed since, and a number of the medical schools of the country have imitated the example. In them, a single hour weekly, during the regular courses of the winter, is given to the student of medicine for the special study of the diseases of children, who will, in his future practice, form the majority of his patients. In the course of four so-called years, which the legislatures of our States pronounce sufficient for the attainment of all medical knowledge required for the welfare of a country, the student is pressed very hard for time. There are a number of branches which he is taught to deem worth his while and attention, by being told that he will be examined in them before obtaining his diploma; but the diseases of children are not now among these.
