MEREDITH FAIRFAX CAMPBELL (1894-1968) was a visionary pioneer in the development of the subspecialty of pediatric urology. Campbell earned his MD at the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1919, Meredith began internship at Bellevue Hospital, which was interrupted by two years at the Trudeau Sanitarium for tuberculosis treatment. After recuperation he returned to Bellevue and completed training in Urology at New York University School of Medicine. Campbell joined the urology faculty at NYU and became Professor and Chair in 1937. Campbell published articles on pediatric specific urological disorders as early as 1929 and by 1931 had published 18 such articles. This interest led to his two-volume text on Pediatric Urology published in 1937 (offered here) that was 10 years in preparation. Of the 12 chapters, 11 were authored by Campbell himself with over 1300 illustrations based on 24,000 necropsy studies.
