The
Robert J. Terry Lecture was established in 1938 by
alumni and friends of the medical school to honor
Dr. Terry and to foster greater appreciation of the
study of human anatomy in relation to the teaching
and practice of medicine. Dr.
Terry became head of the Department of Anatomy at
Washington University School of Medicine in 1900.
When the school was reorganized in 1910 after the
recommendations made by the Flexner Report, Dr. Terry
was the only department chairman to be reappointed.
At the time of his retirement in 1941, he received
the title of professor emeritus, and in 1956 he was
awarded an honorary LL.D. degree.
Dr. Terry
was well known among scientists in his field for the
reforms he introduced in the teaching of human anatomy.
He received his medical degree in 1895 from the Missouri
Medical College, forerunner of Washington University
School of Medicine. Dr. Terry continued active work
in the Department of Anatomy until 1959, when he moved
to Weston, Mass., to be near his daughter. He died
in 1966 at the age of 95.
