Warren R. Sisson, M.D., President of the American Academy of Pediatrics, 1948-1949

Stewart Clifford M.D.1

1 Duxbury, Massachusetts

On November 22, 1972, Warren R. Sisson died in his 88th year. He had been in amazing mental and physical health until he was struck by a sudden attack of abdominal pain, on August 2, that was discovered to be caused by malignancy.

As an elder statesman of the Academy, Dr. Sisson's life deserves description in the pages of its journal. Born in Hamilton, New York, on April 13, 1885, he graduated from Colgate in 1906 and then spent two years teaching at Colgate Academy to earn enough money to start medical school.
