Series 3: Histoplasmosis Research
This series contains materials compiled by Dr. Collins when he was doing research on Histoplasmosis.
Part of the research ultimately led to the publication of an article entitled "Dr William DeMonbreun:
description of his contributions to our understanding of histoplasmosis and analysis of the significance of
his work." that appeared in Human Pathology, 2005 May; 36(5): 453-64.

Christie-Palmer controversy
Copeis of Palmer's paper in Pub Health Reports, May, 1945-- Palmer
had visited VU, reviewed Christie's work, and acknowledged this with the
following statement--see page 520:"Special thanks also are due Dr. Amos
Christie and Dr. J.C. Peterson of VUMS for specific suggestions regarding
the clinical manifestations of histoplasmosis [obviously a misleading
acknowledgment of their preliminary work on skin-testing in tuberculin
negative cases]; Christie and Palmer's paper in Amer Jour Pub Health
Nov, 1945 giving their side of the history. Dr. Goodpasture's letter to
Hollis Johnson in 1955 about controversy in which he states that he (EWG)
sent the Surgeon General a full account of the facts in 1945. This letter
could not be found in Dr. Goodpasture's or Dr. Christie's correspondence,

although we do have the letter of transmittal of EWG to Doctor Parran,
the Surgeon general in Aug,1945--obviously as part of the reaction to the
Palmer publication in May. The Dr. Smith referred to was Dr. C.E. Smith,
Dr. Christie's mentor and an expert on coccidioidomycosis. The histories of

The materials contained in this series were created during the preparation of three works either edited
or co-authored by Dr. Collins. They include the textbook Pediatric Hematopathology edited by Robert
Collins and Steven H. Swerdlow, MD, and published by Churchill Livingstone in 2001, Fascicle #28
entitled "Tumors of the Hematopoietic System" that appeared in the Second Series of the Atlas of
Tumor Pathology published by the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) in 1992, and a chapter
entitled Lymph Nodes that was published in two editions of Diagnostic Surgical Pathology by Raven
Press in 1989 and 1991. It mainly consists of correspondence between contributors and manuscript
drafts.

This turned out to be a seventeen year project!!! The extraordinary delays
were due in part to the complexity of the subject, in part to political issues
in relationship to the classification of lymphomas, in part to the problems
inherent in a trans-continental collaboration, and mainly to problems
one or both authors had inactually putting pen to paper. The relevant
documents relating to this project are enclosed. Bear in mind that at the
time the most authoritative description of tumors of all types was in AFIP
fascicles. For the record, RDC was on Sabbatical in Jan-July 1985, Lukes

delaying publication (probably due to resistance from Berard, Dorfman,

Skeen, Ann Robinson about dividing work--initially we thought book should
be organized by major topics to move away from its having been written
like a diary. Several lists were produced, but on trial runs of cutting and
pasting there was insufficient text to justify changing organization of book
by year; By late July it was apparent Ike could not participate in editing,
so Mary Etta accepted REM edits if she thought they would have been
accepted by Ike; by 3 August we had given up on major topics notion,

VU Goes to War Rudolph H. Kampmeier
Details of Rudolph Kampmeier's tenure in the Department of Medicine
during the Second World War Several articles about and by Dr. Kampmeier;
Dr. Kampmeier made repeated efforts from 1943-45 to become a
comissioned officer in either Navy/Army; he wrote of his ability to read
and write German fluently and of his knowledge about sexually acquired
infections as justification for his being in the military (the basic reason he
wanted to join was to prove "good Germans"). The following letters were
in his file, were in the Kampmeier Papers, many in Box 53: letters to the
School of Military Government and Naval Department; letters to the U.S.
Public Health Service; letters to the Health Division of UNRRA; to the
Rockfeller; to the Veterans' Administration; to the Surgeon General's Office;
to POW camps; to War Man-Power Comission; and to the Department of
State Office of Foreign Relief Letters to Dr. Lampson of the Procurement
and Assignment Service, Dr. Harrison Shoulders, Dr. Dickson, all in
relationship to his essential status; several to Dr. Leathers with replies,
dating from 1942-3. Dr. Leathers essentially refused to remove Dr.
Kampmeier from the essential teaching list; Letters from Dr. Kampmier
to Louis Moore, Commander of Post 5, to the Provost General's Office,
extensive correspondence with John Youmans, before and after the Youmans
resignation with Dr. Finnley in New Orleans; there is a request for
authorization for Kampmier to travel as a civilian.
