Abstract: When Edward Hagyard Fallon received his DVM in 1956, he joined the practice in Lexington, KY, now known as Hagyard Equine Medical Institute. He is the fourth in a line of family veterinarians that dates to 1876 when a Scottish-educated veterinarian named Edward Thomas Hagyard was called to Kentucky to consult on a valuable Shorthorn bull. An equine practice (institute) of world renown grew from that original encounter. Hagyard’s three sons were all graduates of the Ontario Veterinary College and worked either in the Lexington practice or in Nashville, Tennessee. Third-generation Charles Edward Hagyard (O.V.C. 1924) joined the practice following his graduation from the O.V.C. in 1924, and about 15 years later, Arthur Davidson (Iowa State University 1936) and William McGee (Washington State University 1940) completed the troika of partners for what for decades became known simply as Hagyard-Davidson-McGee. The son of Charlie Hagyard’s sister was Edward Fallon who studied at Cornell, as did Edward’s son, Luke Hagyard Fallon, the fifth generation equine veterinarian who received his DVM in 1996. The present interview includes not only Drs. Edward and Luke Fallon, but also Edward’s wife, Priscilla, William McGee and his granddaughter, Ali McGee Kelly, and Dr. Walter W. Zent ’63.

Grossman Authors: Smith, Donald F. Abstract: Henry E. Grossman received his DVM from Cornell University in 1938 and spent his entire professional career (1938-1998) in small animal practice in Brooklyn, New York. He was one of 17 Jewish students who matriculated in 1931 but took a leave of absence during his sophomore year and returned as a married student two years later. His wife, Florence, worked in downtown Ithaca. Establishing a companion animal practice in the waning years of the Great Depression was challenging, but the Grossman practice prevailed and Henry became a leading advocate of small animal medicine. His practice was accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association. He was active in organized veterinary medicine and served as president of both the Veterinary Medical Association of New York City and the New York State Veterinary Medical Society. Florence also held leadership positions for the Auxiliary to the State Society. Dr. Grossman retired from practice for health reasons in 1998 and died in 2000. Mrs. Grossman died in January 2010.

Ross, Jr. Authors: Massaro, Andrew J. Abstract: Growing up in Kansas, George E. Ross, Jr. watched as the veterinarians cared for his horse and realized he aspired to be a surgeon. He was the first member of his family to graduate from college and received his DVM from Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine. After graduating in 1960, Dr. Ross completed an internship in small animal medicine and surgery at the New York State Veterinary College (now Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine) and then joined the faculty at Cornell, teaching small surgery for ten years. He was a member of the first class of board certified surgeons accepted by examination in 1968. Dr. Ross left Cornell in 1972 to establish the Colonial Veterinary Hospital in Ithaca, NY, which he later passed to his son Thomas, who also became a veterinary surgeon. With the continued consulting and support of Dr. Ross, Colonial Veterinary Hospital has evolved into one of the largest and most comprehensive specialty practices in the Finger Lakes area.

Raker, VMD Authors: Khatibzadeh, Sarah M. Abstract: Charles W. Raker was one of the leading equine surgeons of the second half of the 20th century. Raised in Daylesford, Pennsylvania, he received his VMD from the University of Pennsylvania (UP) in 1942. After several years in general practice, he joined the faculty of the UP as a surgeon involved with all large animal species. As one of the founding faculty of New Bolton Center, he gradually developed a strong clientele for cases involving general and orthopedic surgery of horses. Starting in the 1970s, he began to concentrate on upper respiratory surgery and became a preeminent leader in that field. Raker helped establish the American College of Veterinary Surgeons in the 1960s and later became president of that organization. He was an outstanding teacher and mentor of both veterinary students and surgical residents, and was one of the first to train women large animal surgeons. Description: Person interviewed: Charles W.
