They date back to something penned in 1996.1 That was, of course, the Pleistocene—if not of the Internet, then certainly of its most robust and successful offspring, the World Wide Web.2 Most of what has been said in these pieces has dealt with the end products of the medical historical enterprise: research, education, and a smattering of specific projects. But I find I have not yet touched on what is likely the most important impact of the Internet on this and many similar enterprises: not the product, but the process. At times, as Richard and Patricia Kahn showed in these pages, this process may be as straightforward, and as epochal, as the impact on research of remote access to archival collections.3 For teaching, for research, and for the “culture” of scholarship there is, however, an even more basic part of the process that is often overlooked: it is simple communication.

S. T. and Susan Cavanaghj; and most recently the College of Physicians of Philadelphia; all ^provided tireless aid. The former Curator of Historical Collections, Christine Ruggere, at the last named institution, was the source of sustained wisdom and assistance over several years. A number of people provided intellectual support. At Duke, Gert Brieger, with insuperable patience, oversaw the writing of a dissertation that was the distant ancestor of the present work. Seymour Mauskopf read that version as well and watched it evolve in the dozen years since. The late Joseph Schiller discovered me muttering and thrashing in the belly of the Paris Faculty one day in 1972, and gradually thereafter assumed the important role of a continent-side mentor. He is missed. In Boston, Edward and Amalie Kass aided in my understanding of Thomas Hodgkin. At a crucial moment, George Weisz of Montreal directed my attention to an all-important, newly opened archive in Paris. Also in Paris, Mirko D. Grmek was of great and gracious assistance. And in Philadelphia, critically, Rosemary Stevens, Charles Rosenberg, and Steven Peitzman all read and materially helped improve the manuscript. So, too, did an anonymous reader for Cambridge University Press. Finally I acknowledge the assistance and support of those who furnished that other key ingredient, survivability. In bits and pieces, Sandra Paschale typed all of the manuscript at least once over the years. Dr. Bonnie Blustein supplied invaluable research assistance on Chapter 8. Donna Evleth provided imaginative research assistance in the preparation of virtually all those parts of Parts I and II requiring what the French call depouillement. And finally, Kristine Billmyer patiently awaited the end. To all of them, my heartfelt gratitude.

But similar crises and upheavals were faced by physicians and medical educators in the 1790s and 1890s. As each of these centuries drew to a close, great changes took place in medicine. The author describes these centennial cycles, concentrating on the last 200 years of academic medicine as it faced the vicissitudes of change in “the nineties.” He focuses first on the 1790s and the influence of the French Revolution on medicine, then discusses the reforms in medical education that began in the 1890s and that led to the so-called Flexnerian reforms early in the twentieth century. Finally, he considers the 1990s, drawing parallels between the crises of earlier centuries and the situation of American medicine on the cusp of the twenty-first century. He argues that today's leaders in academe ignore the narratives of past medical metamorphoses at their peril, and that while having an understanding of the past will not enable leaders to forestall the future, it can prepare them for it.
