HONORARY FELLOWSHIPS

Since the founding of the Academy, it has conferred Honorary Fellowships on surgeons who were noteworthy nationally and internationally.  In 1881, Samuel D. Gross, the Founding President, suggested a list of 13 surgeons, all of whom were elected.  Others have been elected on occasion since, including the 50th, 75th and 100th anniversaries of the Academy and the Millennium of 2000.  The last ceremony was held in front of the Gross Clinic at the Thomas Jefferson University.  The highlight was the brilliant description of Thomas Eakins' famous painting given by former Academy President and noted Gross historian, Frederick A. Wagner, then in his 80's and totally blind.
