Notability tag[edit]

Zargulon, I've never heard of him either, but he is in the Top 1000 Scientists: From the Beginning of Time to 2000 AD book. That list is hopelessly bungled and parochially anglophile, but I've removed the notability tag nevertheless. Afasmit 08:01, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Students[edit]

The Dictionary of Scientific Biography provided the clue that HP Bowditch is known for his development of the research-teaching context in Harvard medical education. It lists these students as notable: Warren P. Lombard, Joseph W. Warren, Isaac Ott, G. M. Garland, and William F. Southward. They do not seem to be yet in WP. Two other students have mentions that are not necessary noteworthy: James P. Putnam is mentioned in the Ira Van Gieson article, and Robert W. Lovett is mentioned as misdiagnosing Franklin D. Roosevelt's paralytic illness. Given the calibre of students at Harvard, one might have hoped for a better output. Nevertheless, more looking is needed to appraise the Bowditch teaching lab.Rgdboer (talk) 23:16, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
