IN MEMORIAM
Jefferson mourns the passing of two renowned physicians
-------------------------------------------------------

We extend our condolences to their families.


               ****************************************
               Baldwin L. Keyes, MD, DSci, LLD, JMC '17
                    July 29, 1893 - June 6, 1994
               ****************************************

   Baldwin L. Keyes, MD, JMC '17, a former chairman and professor emeritus
of Jefferson's department of psychiatry and human behavior and the oldest
living Jefferson Medical College alumnus, died on June 6, several weeks
before his 101st birthday.

   Continuously associated with Jefferson for the past 80 years, Dr. Keyes,
who was known as "Mr. Jeff," joined the faculty in 1925 and was department
chairman from 1942 until 1958.

   "He was regarded as an outstanding psychiatrist and one of the best
teachers in the history of the medical college," said Troy L. Thompson II,
MD, the Daniel Lieberman Professor and chair, department of psychiatry and
human behavior.

   Dr. Keyes' Saturday afternoon lectures were so popular that students
would come with their dates or spouses.

   A decorated veteran of both World Wars, he specialized for many years in
treating mental disorders among combat soldiers, children and criminals.

   In 1929, he organized a child psychiatric clinic in Jefferson's
pediatric department, the first of its kind in this country.

   During World War II, Dr. Keyes was commanding officer of Jefferson's
38th General Hospital Unit for the United States Army in Egypt.

   For more than 30 years, he was chief of and a senior consultant to
Philadelphia General Hospital. He was also a senior consultant at Chester
County Hospital, a psychiatrist at St. Agnes Medical Center and associate
neuropsychiatrist at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children.

   When Dr. Keyes celebrated his birthday at Jefferson last year, former
students, their children and even grandchildren were present. President
Jimmy Carter and President Bill Clinton, among others, sent messages of
tribute.

   Dr. Keyes is survived by his wife of 45 years, Margaret Robertson Keyes,
and several nieces and nephews.

   Memorial contribution in his memory may be made to the Jefferson Alumni
Annual Giving Fund, department of psychiatry and human behavior.


               ****************************************
               Thaddeus L. Montgomery, MD, LLD, JMC '20
                     May 24, 1896 - June 15, 1994
               ****************************************

   Thaddeus L. Montgomery, emeritus professor of obstetrics and gynecology,
died at age 98. He was a leader in making childbirth a more natural
experience, one that embraced the entire family. 

   Dr. Montgomery spent his entire medical career here, except for six
years at Temple University. 

   "I would think he would be the real role model for present-day
obstetricians," said his colleague Paul A. Bowers, MD, emeritus professor
of obstetrics and gynecology, in praise of Dr. Montgomery's research and
teaching skills and support of his patients.

   He advocated many of the concepts we take for granted today. An early
proponent of natural childbirth, he was concerned about the overuse of
operative procedures and anesthesia and analgesia during delivery. He also
was an advocate of breastfeeding; "rooming-in," where the baby stays in the
mother's room instead of the nursery, and having fathers present during
delivery.

   Dr. Montgomery instituted some of these procedures during his tenure as
chairman of the department from 1955 to 1961. After his retirement from
that post, he continued in active practice for approximately 20 years. In
1963, Jefferson awarded him an honorary doctor of laws' degree at
commencement.

   President of the Alumni Association from 1948 to 1949, he was the
recipient of its 1970 Achievement Award. He was a past president of the
American Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and was secretary
to the American Gynecological Society.

   A painter as well as a writer, he had almost completed work on a
historical novel, "Fateful Family," based on the family of Jesus. Dr.
Montgomery's co-author will complete the book, which is expected to be
published this year.  

   The organ in McClellan Hall still used for special events was presented
to Jefferson in memory of their son, Richard, by Dr. Montgomery and his
first wife, Pauline, who died in 1978. 

   He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Mullin Montgomery; two sons,
Thaddeus L. Montgomery Jr. and J. Thomas Montgomery; four grandchildren and
five great-grandsons.
