FRANK HINMAN SR. (1880-1961) received his A.B. degree at Stanford in 1902 and was president of his graduating class. At Johns Hopkins Medical School the degree of M.D. was awarded him in 1906. He was the first resident trained by the pioneer in urology at Hopkins, Dr. Hugh Hampton Young, under whom he worked from 1912 to 1915. In 1916 he joined the faculty of the University of California, San Francisco, as Assistant Clinical Professor of Urology and in the following year was given the title of Clinical Professor of Urology and Chairman of the Department, which post he held until June 30, 1950, at which time he became Emeritus. During that period he trained fifty-one residents in urology. He was recognized internationally as a great teacher of clinical urology. His clinical observations and animal experimentation earned him an enviable reputation, reflected in 149 published papers, numerous chapters in major urologic treatises and his monumental textbook The Principles and Practice of Urology (offered here), published in 1935. He was probably best known for his contributions to knowledge concerning the pathogenesis of hydronephrosis, cancer of the testicle and prostate gland and transplantation of ureters into the sigmoid colon.

PROVENANCE: THOMAS A. STOREY (1875 - 1943) was a professor of hygiene at Stanford University between 1906 and 1940, with a lengthy leave of absence to study and teach on the East Coast. After receiving his MD from Harvard in 1906 (after already serving as an assistant professor at Stanford for four years), Storey returned to Stanford to teach hygiene, physical education, and sexual education full time.
