Willard M. Allen, M.D.

Introduction

Willard Myron Allen (1904-1993) was a 1932 graduate of the University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry and a member of its faculty until his Willard M. Allen, M.D. appointment as Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at Washington University (St. Louis) in 1940. Allen was renowned for his research on female hormones, including his collaboration with George W. Corner on the isolation of progesterone. The Papers of Willard M. Allen were presented by his daughter Lucille Anderson to the Edward G. Miner Library in the summer of 2002. Processing was completed in September 2004. The collection comprises twenty-five boxes and occupies fourteen linear feet.

Biographical Data

Willard Myron Allen was born in Macedon, N.Y. on 5 November 1904 to Lewis F. Allen and Marion E. Hoag. After receiving his undergraduate degree from Hobart College (Geneva, N.Y.) in 1926, Allen enrolled in the second class of the University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry. At the end of his first year, Allen accepted a two-year research fellowship (1927-29) in the laboratory of anatomy department chairman George Washington Corner (1889-1981). Upon completion of his fellowship, Allen returned to his medical studies and graduated with the Class of 1932.

Allen remained in Rochester in 1932-33 as a National Research Council fellow and assistant resident pathologist. In 1933-34 he interned at Strong Memorial Hospital, the University’s teaching hospital. He did his residencies (1934-37) in the Dept. of Obstetrics & Gynecology at Strong. Allen was made an instructor in the School of Medicine in 1936, and assistant professor of obstetrics & gynecology in 1938. He held this position until his appointment in 1940 as chairman of the Dept. of Obstetrics & Gynecology at Washington University School of Medicine (St. Louis). Allen was the first Rochester medical graduate to attain this professorial rank, and at the time was one of the youngest department chairmen in an American medical school. Allen served as chair of obstetrics & gynecology at Washington University and as obstetrician-in-chief at Barnes and Allied Hospitals until his retirement in 1971. That year Allen left St. Louis for Baltimore, where he was appointed professor of obstetrics at the University of Maryland. Allen subsequently served as associate dean of the medical school at Maryland (1976-1982).

Late in his first year of medical school (1927), Allen was invited by George W. Corner to become a fellow in anatomy and to work with him on the identification of the hormone responsible for progestational changes. By the end of 1928 Corner and Allen had made hundreds of extracts from the corpus luteum of rabbits and in the process had isolated the hormone later to be named progesterone. Their work was described in a classic paper, “Physiology of the corpus luteum,” published in the American Journal of Physiology (1929, 88:326-46). Allen also described this work in the thesis submitted for his masters degree on 17 May 1929 entitled The preparation of a hormone of the corpus luteum which produced progestational proliferation (Box 14, Folder 9).

The female hormones would remain the focus of Allen's research the remainder of his career. This research is described in an autobiographical article entitled “Recollections of my life with progesterone,” published in Gynecologic Investigation (1974, 5:142-182). Allen was the first to administer progesterone to human subjects – specifically for the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding (1942); developed “Allen’s blue reaction” (the blue color test for DHIA) and its clinical application (1950); specified the role of progesterone in the maintenance of pregnancy, etc. Allen's best known contribution outside the laboratory is his description of what has been termed the “Allen-Masters Syndrome,” i.e., the laceration of the fascial layers of the broad and Mackenrodt ligaments resulting in abnormal mobility of the cervix. This condition was described by Allen and William H. Masters in their paper “Traumatic laceration of uterine support: the clinical syndrome and operative treatment,” published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (1955, 70:500-513).

In 1927 Allen married Julia Bell Gardner (d. 1941). A daughter (Lucille) was born to them in 1933. In 1946 Allen married Dorothy Dunn Esley. Willard Myron Allen died in Baltimore on 15 August 1993.

Organization of the Collection

General Files (Boxes 1-8)

The General Files are an alphabetically arranged series that reflect Allen’s various activities from the late 1920s through the early 1990s. It includes materials pertaining to medical and scientific societies; extensive correspondence with pharmaceutical companies involved in the manufacture of hormonal extracts; and Allen's participation in governmental or organizational review committees (e.g., the FDA’s committee on the oral contraceptive Enovid). Material on academic matters at the University of Rochester or Washington University is limited.

Correspondence (Boxes 9-10)

Allen’s correspondence is arranged alphabetically by correspondent. (His extensive correspondence with pharmaceutical companies is organized in the General Files under each firm’s name.)

Talks and Publications (Boxes 11-13)

This series is interesting, but by no means complete. For example, there is not a complete set of Allen’s reprints in the collection; nor are most of the talks and lectures given over half a century present. Many manuscripts, reprints and texts of oral presentations are here, however, including the manuscripts of several articles that were never published.

Research (Boxes 14-23)

The research series may be divided into two unequal parts. The first (Boxes 14-15) contains the laboratory notebooks in which Allen recorded the preparation of more than 100 hormonal extracts at the University of Rochester between 1929 and 1936. The second part of this series records clinical research conducted at Washington University from the early 1940s. Because the St. Louis files include patient health information, researchers needing access to Boxes 14-23 will require permission from the University of Rochester Medical Center’s HIPAA officer.

Diplomas, Certificates, Awards, etc. (Boxes 24-25)

In addition to diplomas, certificates and awards, Box 25 also includes photographic portraits of Willard M. Allen.
