Charles Pavey
Charles William Pavey II (1906-2004) received a Bachelor of Science from Ohio State in 1926. He promptly followed that with a medical degree from the class of 1928. At the time of his death in 2004 he was the youngest man to ever graduate from The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
Pavey’s medical career spanned 57 years; 43 of which were spent as a member of the OSU faculty in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. He also unofficially held the title of most experienced obstetrician in Columbus. In his 57 years of service, Pavey is said to have delivered more than 25,000 babies, and no one is disputing this claim. Celebrated journalist Walter Winchell even nicknamed Pavey “the Baby-Catcher” in a 1932 column for the Ohio State Journal.
The Medical Heritage Center has an archival collection of Dr. Pavey’s and the finding aid for it can be viewed at https://hsl.osu.edu/mhc/pdf/charles-w-pavey-md-collection
Neil Hall
In 1926 Neil Hall was built. It consisted of 150 rooms on 4 floors and held up to 270 women. Many nursing students resided here in the 1940’s-1960’s. The building was torn down in 1997. It was located at 1634 Neil Avenue, the present site of CVS Pharmacy/Younkin Success Center.
The University leased Neil Hall from a private owner who gave the building its name. The University leased the building from the time of its construction until 1942 when they purchased the building.
John H. J. Upham
John Howell Janeway Upham (1871-1960) received his BS (1891) and MD (1894) from the University of Pennsylvania. He was a professor at Starling Medical College (1897-1899), Ohio Medical University (1900-1902), Starling-Ohio Medical College (1907-1914), and Ohio State (1914-1941). He served as Dean of the OSU College of Medicine from 1928-1941.
Upham Hall, a building on The Ohio State University campus from 1951 to 1998, was named in his honor and used for psychiatric care. It was located where the OSU Harding Hospital and the Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute now stand on 12th Ave.
A book written by Charles Wooley and Barbara Van Brimmer about Dr. Upham’s life is available for sale at the Medical Heritage Center for $12 plus applicable sales tax: https://hsl.osu.edu/service-areas/mhc/services/publications-sale
