All Rush Ones (represented by Thomas Glasscock, MD 1942)
2007 James A. Campbell, MD, Alumni Service Award

When forced to suspend educational programs with the onset of World War II, Rush’s early alumni not only kept the school’s charter alive, but solidified its name and reputation by spreading their medical knowledge and skills across the country. Rush Medical College is the medical school it is today because of the continued work and dedication of many our early graduates.

The James A. Campbell, MD, Alumni Service Award was presented to those esteemed alumni who graduated from Rush Medical College before it closed its doors in 1942. Rush alumnus Thomas Glasscock, MD 1942, accepted the award on behalf of Rush’s early graduates.
