Biographical NoteDr. Clarence Dennis, pioneering heart surgeon and developer of a heart-lung bypass machine, was born to Dr. Warren and Clara Dennis of St. Paul, Minnesota on June 16, 1909. After graduating from St. Paul's Central High School in 1927, Dennis attended Harvard College and earned his bachelor's degree in 1931. Dennis then pursued his medical degree at Johns Hopkins Medical School from 1931 to 1935 before returning to his home state for his surgical residency with Owen Wangensteen at the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis. Wangensteen required residents to earn additional degres, thus Dennis earned his master of science degree in 1938 and his Ph.D. two years later.
A health condition prevented Dennis from serving in the military during World War II, so he remained at the University of Minnesota in a variety of instructional and professorial positions in the Department of Surgery. Under the tutelage of the chairman, Dr. Owen H. Wangensteen, Dennis developed an interest in cardiac surgery, particularly the idea of a mechanism to bypass some cardio-pulmonary functions. In 1946 Dennis visited Dr. John H. Gibbon at Jefferson Medical School in Philadelphia; Gibbon had been working on a pump-oxygenator since 1934. The two surgeons traded ideas over the next few years as Dennis began working on similar technology with funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In fact, Dennis received continual NIH funding from July 1947 until his departure from academic medicine in 1972.
Over the next few years Dennis constructed various apparatuses to provide a suitable substitute for the heart and lungs. Inspired by the success of artificial kidneys, he developed a similar machine; however, it failed to provide enough oxygenation of the blood during bypass. By 1951, Dennis and his staff had developed a pump-oxygenator which led to successful operations on nearly two dozen dogs; this success gave Dennis the confidence to try his machine on a human subject.
On April 5, 1951 Dennis, Dr. Richard Varco, and the University of Minnesota Hospital surgical staff performed the world's first open-heart surgery. The machine performed satisfactorily, but the young patient's heart defect proved to be much more severe than originally diagnosed, resulting in her death. Undaunted, Dennis and the staff tried again a few weeks later, but a technician's error led to the patient's death. However, Dennis's machine achieved its purpose, and work continued on the apparatus even after Dennis moved from Minnesota to assume the chair of the newly-created Department of Surgery at Downstate Medical Center, State University of New York (SUNY).
Spurred on by Dennis's work, Gibbon continued to pursue his own mechanism and performed the world's first successful open-heart surgery in 1953. Dennis's first successful surgery occurred two years later on June 30, 1955. He continued working to perfect his pump-oxygenator at SUNY for another fifteen years, even as the use of the device fell out of favor with heart surgeons as other apparatuses emerged.
In 1972 Dennis took over as Director of the Artificial Heart Program at the National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI) at NIH. His main task was to study the feasibility of long-term usage of the artificial heart, resulting in a position paper for NIH. He argued in his paper that a lack of adequate staff numbers and expertise, coupled with advances in heart transplantation, would severely hamper the successful implementation of an artificial heart program. Ultimately Dennis concluded that the program was failing to utilize his expertise, so after three years Dennis left NIH for another position in the SUNY system, this time at Stony Brook.
For the next fourteen years Dennis worked at both Stony Brook and the Veterans Administration hospital at Northport. Returning to his medical roots, he conducted studies at the VA hospital on wounds and vagotomies while teaching surgical techniques at SUNY. After a long career as an educator and surgeon, Dennis retired in 1989 to his home state of Minnesota.
The retirement was short-lived, however, as he took a position as Director of the Cancer Detection Center at the University of Minnesota in 1991. There he led the program's efforts to encourage early cancer detection through regular testing and check-ups. Budgetary issues caused the termination of the program in 1996, and Dennis retired for the second and final time.
In addition to his career as a surgeon and educator, Dennis also served as an advocate for medical research, particularly during the anti-vivisection movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Because of his ground-breaking canine and human open heart surgeries Dennis was considered an expert on the necessity of animal testing for medical advancement. As president of the National Society for Medical Research (NSMR), he authored several articles and testified before Congress on the necessity of animal testing in ensuring the success of medical procedures on humans. In addition to the NSMR, Dennis was active in the American College of Surgeons, the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instruments, and the International Surgical Group.
In his spare time, Dennis was an inventor of non-medical devices as well, including a bread slicer and a draining board. The doctor and teacher passed away at his home in Minnesota on July 11, 2005, at the age of 96.

Laboratory notes, correspondence, publications, and professional papers (46 linear feet; 1927-2003) chronicle the surgical and research career of Dr. Clarence Dennis. The papers span from his early education at Harvard College until his final years in Minnesota. The bulk of the collection documents Dennis's development of a pump-oxygenator, his research at the Veterans Administration, and his advocacy for the necessity of animal testing for medical advancement. The collection contains little in the way of personal materials.
Three series represent Dennis's work on open-heart surgery and the pump-oxygenator: Series 4: Heart-Lung Research, Series 5: University of Minnesota, and Series 6: State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Medical Center. Series 4 consists of Dennis's schematics for his pump-oxygenator and his laboratory notebooks chronicling his clinical trials for the apparatus. Included in Volume VI, 1951 is a detailed description of Dennis's first (ultimately unsuccessful) open-heart surgery on a human patient. The other two series contain materials which illustrate Dennis's administrative and educational duties; Series 8: State University of New York (SUNY) Stony Brook / Veterans Administration Medical Center (VAMC) also contains materials of this type. Additionally, Series 8 documents Dennis's studies into how wounds heal after such procedures as vagotomies.
Dennis's work as an administrator is further represented by Series 7: National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI) and Series 9: Cancer Detection Center (CDC), University of Minnesota. The majority of Series 7 concerns Dennis's position paper on the status of the NHLI's Artificial Heart Program and the Institute's work with the Atomic Energy Commission to provide an energy source for the artificial heart. Series 9 focuses mainly on Dennis's attempts to expand cancer detection practices at the university, but it also highlights his abilities as a facilitator.
Both Series 11: Writings and Lectures and Series 12: Professional Activities illustrate Dennis's professional development. Series 11 contains drafts, manuscripts, illustrations, and final prints for the dozens of articles written by Dennis throughout his career; the series also includes notes and drafts for lectures and talks given by him on various occasions. Several different national and international medical organizations are represented in Series 12, but the bulk of the series documents the activities of the National Society for Medical Research and its successors.
Personal material constitutes a small portion of the collection. Series 1: Personal and Biographical includes biographical articles and sketches as well as information on his early education; Series 3: Patents reflects Dennis's interest in inventing non-medical devices along with various medical apparatuses. Both Series 2: Correspondence and Series 13: Photographs contain a mixture of personal and professional materials.

Series 8: State University of New York (SUNY) Stony Brook / Veterans Administration Medical Center (VAMC),
1943-2003
An extensive amount of material from Dennis's canine and human clinical research can be found in Series 8 along with additional evidence of his administrative capabilities. The series consists of five subseries: Research Project 1 - Wound Study, Research Project 2 - Urinary Conduit Study, Other Research Studies, Administrative Files, and Correspondence.
The Research Project 1 - Wound Study subseries is comprised of research protocols, human patient surgery files, and summary reports from Dennis's study on the effect of figure-of-8 sutures in hard-to-heal wounds. It has three sub-subseries: Protocols, Clinical Trial, and Data Analysis. The Research Project 2 - Urinary Conduit Study subseries consists of research protocols and raw surgery data from dog and human trials in creating a substitute urinary conduit. This subseries is divided into two sub-suberies - Protocols and Animal Subjects - and a folder of "[Human] Urinary Conduit Cases". Folders in the first three subseries are arranged chronologically by the first date in the folder date range, then alphabetically by folder title.
The Administrative Files subseries is divided into three sub-subseries: SUNY Stony Brook, VAMC Northport, and Clarence and Mary Dennis professorship and endowment fund. Notable folders in the SUNY Stony Brook sub-subseries include the various Visiting Professorship folders that contain Dennis's notes on the lectures and photographs of Dennis with the speakers. Materials in the Correspondence subseries include general correspondence, letters of recommendation, and letters of appreciation. The Administrative Files subseries and Correspondence subseries are arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Portions of the series are restricted by HMD's Access to Health Information of Individuals policy.

Series 9: Cancer Detection Center (CDC), University of Minnesota,
1983-2000
This series provides details on Dennis's activities as director of the Cancer Detection Center (CDC) from 1991-1996. The majority of the series consists of administrative papers, reflecting Dennis's shift away from surgical work. Researchers should note that many documents are printed in large font because Dennis was rendered legally blind by macular degeneration. There are three subseries: Administrative Files, Research Files, and Studies. The group of "CDC Closure Crisis" folders in first subseries pertains to the center's efforts to avoid a budget induced closure. The Administrative Files subseries and Research Files subseries are arranged alphabetically by folder title; the Studies subseries is arranged chronologically by the first date in the folder date range, then alphabetically by folder title.
Portions of the series are restricted by HMD's Access to Health Information of Individuals policy.

Series 10: Patient Records,
1935-1995
The Patient Files series consists of detailed medical records and correspondence of patients who were not participants in Dennis's specific research studies. Material types include patient lists, case summary reports, doctor/patient correspondence, pathology reports, physician progress notes, and financial statements. The records are divided into three subseries: University of Minnesota, State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Medical Center, and Cancer Detection Center (CDC). Folders within each subseries are arranged alphabetically by folder title, with individual patient files arranged alphabetically by last name.
The entire series is restricted according to HMD's Access to Health Information of Individuals policy.

Series 11: Writings and Lectures,
1937-2000
Dennis's published writings and public speeches are documented in the Writings series. It contains manuscript drafts, published articles, reprints, speeches, illustrations, and research notes authored or co-authored by Dennis. Among the topics covered in these writings are appendicitis, chronic ulcerative colitis, the development of the pump-oxygenator, intestinal obstruction, left heart bypass, and the artificial heart. There are five subseries: Talks and Lectures, Illustrations, Articles and Reprints, Research Files, and Drafts and Manuscripts. Files in the Talks and Lectures subseries document the arrangements for the talks along with Dennis's speeches, although not every folder contains a copy of a speech. The Illustrations subseries contains drafts of charts and figures which were reused frequently for various articles, chapters, and talks. The Articles and Reprints subseries includes two bound volumes of reprints dating from 1937-1969 and two copies of each article or reprint. General reference material and handwritten notes not linked to specific paper drafts are found in the Research Files subseries. Copies of the printed version of an article were removed from their folders in the Drafts and Manuscripts subseries to the Articles and Reprints subseries. Folders within each subseries are arranged chronologically by folder date.

Series 12: Professional Activities,
1931-2003
Materials in the Professional Activities series describe Dennis's involvement with various organizations, events, and awards pertaining to clinical surgery and biomedical research. A substantial portion of the series documents his involvement in the 1960s-1980s with the National Society for Medical Research (NSMR), a society devoted to promoting the continued use of laboratory animals in medical research. Materials include correspondence, programs, brochures, certificates, articles, reprints, printed matter, and a medal. Series 12 is arranged alphabetically by organization name, then alphabetically by folder title. Where present for any organization, general business folders are filed first.

Collection Scope and Content Note
Laboratory notes, correspondence, publications, and professional papers (46 linear feet; 1927-2003) chronicle the surgical and research career of Dr. Clarence Dennis. The papers span from his early education at Harvard College until his final years in Minnesota. The bulk of the collection documents Dennis's development of a pump-oxygenator, his research at the Veterans Administration, and his advocacy for the necessity of animal testing for medical advancement. The collection contains little in the way of personal materials.
Three series represent Dennis's work on open-heart surgery and the pump-oxygenator: Series 4: Heart-Lung Research, Series 5: University of Minnesota, and Series 6: State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Medical Center. Series 4 consists of Dennis's schematics for his pump-oxygenator and his laboratory notebooks chronicling his clinical trials for the apparatus. Included in Volume VI, 1951 is a detailed description of Dennis's first (ultimately unsuccessful) open-heart surgery on a human patient. The other two series contain materials which illustrate Dennis's administrative and educational duties; Series 8: State University of New York (SUNY) Stony Brook / Veterans Administration Medical Center (VAMC) also contains materials of this type. Additionally, Series 8 documents Dennis's studies into how wounds heal after such procedures as vagotomies.
Dennis's work as an administrator is further represented by Series 7: National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI) and Series 9: Cancer Detection Center (CDC), University of Minnesota. The majority of Series 7 concerns Dennis's position paper on the status of the NHLI's Artificial Heart Program and the Institute's work with the Atomic Energy Commission to provide an energy source for the artificial heart. Series 9 focuses mainly on Dennis's attempts to expand cancer detection practices at the university, but it also highlights his abilities as a facilitator.
Both Series 11: Writings and Lectures and Series 12: Professional Activities illustrate Dennis's professional development. Series 11 contains drafts, manuscripts, illustrations, and final prints for the dozens of articles written by Dennis throughout his career; the series also includes notes and drafts for lectures and talks given by him on various occasions. Several different national and international medical organizations are represented in Series 12, but the bulk of the series documents the activities of the National Society for Medical Research and its successors.
Personal material constitutes a small portion of the collection. Series 1: Personal and Biographical includes biographical articles and sketches as well as information on his early education; Series 3: Patents reflects Dennis's interest in inventing non-medical devices along with various medical apparatuses. Both Series 2: Correspondence and Series 13: Photographs contain a mixture of personal and professional materials.

Series 4: Heart-Lung Bypass Research,
1947-1966 [series]:
This series chronicles Dennis's early clinical trials during the development of a pump-oxygenator with Dr. Jackson Stuckey and Dr. Karl Karlson. These contain dog and human trials that were conducted at the University of Minnesota and continued at the State University of New York's Downstate Medical Center. The series consists of protocol books and dog records documenting the raw experiment data and conclusions gathered as well as oversized schematics for the Dennis-Stuckey-Karlson pump mechanism. All of these materials are grouped by type and arranged chronologically.

Series 8: State University of New York (SUNY) Stony Brook / Veterans Administration Medical Center (VAMC),
1943-2003 [series]:
An extensive amount of material from Dennis's canine and human clinical research can be found in Series 8 along with additional evidence of his administrative capabilities. The series consists of five subseries: Research Project 1 - Wound Study, Research Project 2 - Urinary Conduit Study, Other Research Studies, Administrative Files, and Correspondence.
The Research Project 1 - Wound Study subseries is comprised of research protocols, human patient surgery files, and summary reports from Dennis's study on the effect of figure-of-8 sutures in hard-to-heal wounds. It has three sub-subseries: Protocols, Clinical Trial, and Data Analysis. The Research Project 2 - Urinary Conduit Study subseries consists of research protocols and raw surgery data from dog and human trials in creating a substitute urinary conduit. This subseries is divided into two sub-suberies - Protocols and Animal Subjects - and a folder of "[Human] Urinary Conduit Cases". Folders in the first three subseries are arranged chronologically by the first date in the folder date range, then alphabetically by folder title.
The Administrative Files subseries is divided into three sub-subseries: SUNY Stony Brook, VAMC Northport, and Clarence and Mary Dennis professorship and endowment fund. Notable folders in the SUNY Stony Brook sub-subseries include the various Visiting Professorship folders that contain Dennis's notes on the lectures and photographs of Dennis with the speakers. Materials in the Correspondence subseries include general correspondence, letters of recommendation, and letters of appreciation. The Administrative Files subseries and Correspondence subseries are arranged alphabetically by folder title.
Portions of the series are restricted by HMD's Access to Health Information of Individuals policy.

Series 9: Cancer Detection Center (CDC), University of Minnesota,
1983-2000 [series]:
This series provides details on Dennis's activities as director of the Cancer Detection Center (CDC) from 1991-1996. The majority of the series consists of administrative papers, reflecting Dennis's shift away from surgical work. Researchers should note that many documents are printed in large font because Dennis was rendered legally blind by macular degeneration. There are three subseries: Administrative Files, Research Files, and Studies. The group of "CDC Closure Crisis" folders in first subseries pertains to the center's efforts to avoid a budget induced closure. The Administrative Files subseries and Research Files subseries are arranged alphabetically by folder title; the Studies subseries is arranged chronologically by the first date in the folder date range, then alphabetically by folder title.
Portions of the series are restricted by HMD's Access to Health Information of Individuals policy.

Series 10: Patient Records,
1935-1995 [series]:
The Patient Files series consists of detailed medical records and correspondence of patients who were not participants in Dennis's specific research studies. Material types include patient lists, case summary reports, doctor/patient correspondence, pathology reports, physician progress notes, and financial statements. The records are divided into three subseries: University of Minnesota, State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Medical Center, and Cancer Detection Center (CDC). Folders within each subseries are arranged alphabetically by folder title, with individual patient files arranged alphabetically by last name.
The entire series is restricted according to HMD's Access to Health Information of Individuals policy.

Series 11: Writings and Lectures,
1937-2000 [series]:
Dennis's published writings and public speeches are documented in the Writings series. It contains manuscript drafts, published articles, reprints, speeches, illustrations, and research notes authored or co-authored by Dennis. Among the topics covered in these writings are appendicitis, chronic ulcerative colitis, the development of the pump-oxygenator, intestinal obstruction, left heart bypass, and the artificial heart. There are five subseries: Talks and Lectures, Illustrations, Articles and Reprints, Research Files, and Drafts and Manuscripts. Files in the Talks and Lectures subseries document the arrangements for the talks along with Dennis's speeches, although not every folder contains a copy of a speech. The Illustrations subseries contains drafts of charts and figures which were reused frequently for various articles, chapters, and talks. The Articles and Reprints subseries includes two bound volumes of reprints dating from 1937-1969 and two copies of each article or reprint. General reference material and handwritten notes not linked to specific paper drafts are found in the Research Files subseries. Copies of the printed version of an article were removed from their folders in the Drafts and Manuscripts subseries to the Articles and Reprints subseries. Folders within each subseries are arranged chronologically by folder date.
