Core Tip	Oliver Wendell Holmes' 1836 Doctorate Dissertation on Acute Pericarditis has received little scrutiny since its publication 100 years after it was successfully defended at Harvard Medical School. The state of knowledge about pericarditis in the mid eighteen hundreds was unusually sound considering the inability to study tissue with microscopy. However treatment was a matter of opposing expert opinions and the fashion of the day in Paris was to disparage professors who disagreed. Paris was a mecca for students. Cadavers were plentiful for study. Lectures and clinics were free.
