INTRODUCTION

Benedict Cosimi, MD, members, and guests of the New England Surgical Society, I am deeply appreciative for your willingness to honor me with the Nathan Smith Distinguished Service Award. Nathan Smith's devotion to surgical education and teaching are the hallmarks of his career, which span from 1762 to 1829 (Figure 1). He was involved with the birth of surgery as a specialty in New England. During his long career, he was a major force in the development of Dartmouth Medical School, Hanover, NH. This was followed by an appointment in the new Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Conn. He further contributed to the establishment of the medical schools at Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Me, and the University of Vermont, Burlington.
