Louisville General Hospital. His forte was
merging gross anatomy and radiologic anat-
omy, and he installed a fluoroscopy unit
in the anatomy dissection laboratory. Dr.
Urbach recalls that x-ray exposure danger
was insufficiently recognized, and the unit
was over-used by curious students.
The two professors designed the Korn-

hauser-Johnson dissec-
tion tables, with pub-
lication in 1929 and a
patent issued in 1931.
The tables were widely
accepted and praised
since they protected
specimens from desic-
cation with fold-away
metal covers. These
covers could be opened
and latched beneath the
table while dissections
were in process (as seen
in the photograph), then
returned to enclose the specimen.
In 1947, Dr. Kornhauser had a myocar-
dial infarction, and came under the care of
his friend, cardiologist Dr. Morris Weiss,
Sr. His son, Morris M. Weiss, MD, recalls
as a student that he was assigned by his fa-
ther to titrate Dr. Kornhauser’s arrhythmias
with the then-new drug, Procainamide.
Dr. Weiss’ intervention succeeded, and Dr.
Kornhauser lived another 12 productive
years. His dedication to serving the com-
bined UofL/Jefferson County Medical So-
ciety library led to naming the new library
in his honor, when the campus moved to
its current location in 1970.
Dr. Urbach pointed out another feature
of the era, a striking lack of diversity in the
medical school classes, which the photo-
graphs in the article confirm. He recalls no
African-American students and only three
or four women students per class. Many
more years would pass before these injus-
tices were addressed.
Dr. Tobin is a professor at the University of
Louisville School of Medicine, Department of
Surgery, Division of Plastic and Reconstruc-
tive Surgery. He practices with UofL Physi-
cians-Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
