沃尔特·鲍尔于12月2日去世，享年65岁。他死于一种慢性呼吸道疾病，这种疾病在一段时间内限制了他的有力能力。在风湿病学作为普通医学的一个组成部分的发展过程中，在它从加罗德时代以来的名誉扫地和被忽视中崛起的过程中，他是所有人物中最重要的一个。然而，直到1929年，他的兴趣才从迄今为止一直占据他注意力的骨骼疾病的仔细代谢研究转向这个方向。1922年，他在密歇根州（他的出生地）毕业后，6年前，他第一次作为住院医生来到马萨诸塞州总医院，在那里他接受了洛维特纪念基金会的指导，研究致残性疾病。他在伦敦与亨利戴尔爵士一起度过了一年（1927- 1928年），然后回到哈佛和马萨诸塞州总医院，他的名字与该医院结下了不解之缘。1937年我第一次知道马萨诸塞州总医院时，它是每一个有志于学医的年轻人的圣地。沃尔特·鲍尔和富勒·奥尔布赖特，当时正处于他伟大成就的顶峰，霍华德·米恩斯 * 在甲状腺，约翰·塔尔博特在痛风，保罗·白色和埃德·布兰德在心脏病学，拉克曼·切斯特·琼斯，以及其他不胜枚举的人，使这个中心成为一个独特的中心，只有波士顿市立医院的桑代克实验室与城堡和他才华横溢的同事切斯特·基弗，马克斯·芬兰，对于那些对风湿病学感兴趣的人来说，骨科查房更具吸引力（唉，周一早上8点！）像史密斯-彼得森和乔巴尔这样的巨头。沃尔特·鲍尔象征着医学实践和研究所能达到的高度：充满活力和力量，热情洋溢，精力充沛，充满孩子气的热情，他还可以批判性地批判。他从基层开始研究风湿病，对牛和狗的滑液和软骨进行生理学研究（1930- 1932年），并与哈佛医学院的Red班尼特一起进行病理学和实验工作。他发起了对类风湿性关节炎的发病和病程的长期研究，并与同等数量的精心挑选的对照组进行了统计学比较。在这项研究中，他得到了他的同事玛丽安·罗普斯（Marian Ropes）（现任ARA主席）和查理·肖特（Charley Short）（前任主席）以及其他许多人的大力协助。他激发了忠诚，奉献和感情，以及长期的过度工作，但他比他的同事更努力地驱使自己。他的单位是一个会议的地方，来自世界各地的人;在关节炎轮星期一在以太圆顶，你会看到，除了埃及木乃伊和希腊statesman，英国人和苏格兰人，加拿大人，澳大利亚人，墨西哥人，南美人，欧洲人，当然还有美国的奶油。他的学生现在在美国和其他地方的关键位置;一个梦幻般的数字
Walter Bauer, who died on December 2 aged 65, in the course of a chronic respiratory disease which had limited his forceful abilities for some time, was the most important of all figures in the development of rheumatology as an integral part of general medicine and in its emergence from the disrepute and neglect into which it had fallen since the time of Garrod. Yet it was not until 1929 thathis interest turned in this direction from the careful metabolic studies of bone disease which hitherto had occupied his attention. In that year he took onthe direction of the Lovett Memorial Fund for the study of crippling diseases in the Massachusetts General Hospital, where he had first come as a resident 6 years before, after graduation at Michigan (the State of his birth) in 1922. He spent a year with Sir Henry Dale in London (1927-28) and then returned to Harvard and the Massachusetts General Hospital, with which his name has become indissolubly linked. The Massachusetts General Hospital when I first knew it in 1937 was the Mecca of every young aspirant to Medicine. Walter Bauer and Fuller Albright, then at the height of his great achievements, Howard Means* on the thyroid, John Talbott on gout, Paul White and Ed. Bland in cardiology, Rackemann Chester Jones, and others too numerous to mention, made this a unique centre, rivalled only by the Thorndike Laboratory at the Boston City Hospital with Castle and his talented colleagues, Chester Keefer, Max Finland, etc. For those interested in rheumatology there was the added attraction of orthopaedic rounds (alas, at 8.00 am on a Monday morning!) with such giants as Smith-Petersen and Joe Barr. Walter Bauer symbolized the heights to which the practice and study of medicine could rise: dynamic and forceful, zestful, energetic and boyishly enthusiastic, he could yet be crushingly critical. He started work on rheumatism from the grass roots up, with physiological studies on synovial fluid and cartilage in cattle and dogs (1930-32) and with pathological and experimental work in association with Red Bennett at the Harvard Medical School. He initiated long-term studies of the onset and course of rheumatoid arthritis compared statistically with an equal number of carefully selected controls, in which he was ably assisted by his associates, Marian Ropes, now President of the ARA, and Charley Short, an ex-President, as well as by a host of others too numerous to mention. He inspired loyalty, devotion, and affection, as well as chronic overwork, but he drove himself even harder than he did his colleagues. His Unit was a meeting place for people from all over the world; at Arthritis Rounds on Mondays in the Ether Dome, you would see, besides the Egyptian Mummy and the Greek statuary, Englishmen and Scotsmen, Canadians, Australians, Mexicans, SouthAmericans, Europeans, and of course the cream of the United States. His pupils are now in key positions all over the USA and elsewhere as well; a fantastic number
