This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 1st edition, 1981, depicting the history of the city and the University. From page 139: As college physician from 1923 to 1939, Dr. B.F. Thomas, Sr., (with cigarette holder) helped trainer Wilbur Hutsell (in cap) take care of the football team. Thomas saw the student body through a number of exhausting health emergencies, including two or three flu epidemics that finally forced the college to close until the students got well. One year a cadet walked into Thomas' office with a case of smallpox, and Thomas had to vaccinate every student at API--between 1,200 and 1,500 of them. Another time he treated two students who had contracted typhoid fever from an infected spring near Auburn. During President Knapp's administration (1928-32), Thomas diagnosed a case of scarlet fever and had no place to isolate the student. Knapp let him quarantine the patient over Knapp's garage near the President's Mansion (now Cater Hall). Photo source: Auburn University Special Collections. |
