Biography Excerpts

In the fall of 1896 Lewis entered the Medical School of The Johns Hopkins University, as a member of the fourth class to study at that young school which was drawing many students of great promise from all parts of the country. His professors were of the highest distinction: the famous “Four Doctors” of Sargent’s painting, Welch, Halsted, Osler, and Kelly; and even more important for a student with scientific interests, John J. Abel, William H. Howell, and, in anatomy, Franklin P. Mall. Lewis was strongly attracted to Mall’s department, of which Charles R. Bardeen and Ross G. Harrison were then senior members. When Lewis, immediately after his graduation in medicine, in 1900, joined the department as assistant in anatomy, his medical classmates Florence R. Sabin and John Bruce MacCallum also became assistants in the same department. All these young anatomists (Mall himself was only thirty—four years of age when Lewis became his pupil) attained renown in American science. Every one of them (except the brilliant MacCallum, who died early) became in later years presidents of the American Association of Anatomists, and four of them were elected to the National Academy of Sciences.


Mall had assembled in his laboratory the largest collection of human embryos in America, and had made the study of human development a principal interest of his department. In that field Lewis undertook his first research, in collaboration with Bardeen, who was studying the embryological development of the human muscular system. In 1901 Lewis published in the Bulletin of the johns Hopkins Hospital his first paper, a description of the pectoralis major muscle and some of its variations. When, in the same year, the American joumal of Anatomy was launched from Mall’s laboratory, the first article in the first number was a joint paper by Bardeen and Lewis on the development of the muscles of the limbs and trunk. Based on skillful dissections and reconstructions, and handsomely illustrated, this report was far in advance of previous work in the field and remains the classical monograph on the subject. A year later Lewis published a detailed paper of his own, of equal excellence, on the development of the musculature of the arm.


About 1902 Lewis visited Europe and worked for a time in the laboratory of Moritz Nussbaum at Bonn, where at the professor’s suggestion he looked into the origin of the ciliary muscle of the eye. Nussbaum’s recent discovery (1901) that the sphincter pupillae and retractor lentis muscles, unlike most others, originate from ectodermal epithelium rather than mesenchyme had weakened the doctrine of rigid specificity of the outer germ layer. Nussbaum suspected that the ciliary muscle also is derived from ectoderm. Lewis, working with chick embryos, found no evidence for this supposition, but in the course of his study observed that wandering pigment cells which ultimately enter the iris originate from ectodermal tissue in the optic cup. This observation, published in 1903, was completely new. As the first evidence that pigment cells in the connective tissues may have originated in ectoderm, it considerably increased the embryologists’ growing doubts of the specificity of the germ layers. The great potentialities of the ectoderm, as of the other germ layers, have since been abundantly demonstrated.


In 1907 Lewis reported another set of embryological experiments of a kind never previously attempted. Following up hints from Wilhelm Roux and Thomas Hunt Morgan that the dorsal lip of the blastopore of the amphibian gastrula constitutes in some way a center of directive influence for the differentiation of organs and special tissues, Lewis transplanted small pieces of tissue from the lips of the blastopore (in the late gastrula stage) to other parts of the embryo and found that as expected they differentiated into structures characteristic of the embryonic axis. In one of these experiments he noted that the ectoderm under which he had placed one of the bits containing notochordal tissue was converted into the beginnings of a neural tube; but assuming, like Roux and Morgan, that the rim of the blastopore is self-differentiated, Lewis did not from this single case interpret the result as did Spemann, who from similar experiments a few years later developed the general organizer theory.


Although Lewis completed his models of Carnegie No. 460, he was too much involved, after 1911, in the pioneering work on tissue culture, which will be described a little later, to publish all the findings of the reconstruction. He wrote, in fact, only one paper on this embryo, a monograph of 1920 in the Carnegie Contributions to Embryology, describing the cartilaginous skull, which in this embryo was at a specially instructive stage of development.
