Robert Deaver Collins (1928-2013): A Life Dedicated to Teaching, Investigation, and Concern for Human Beings and Our Earth

Robert Deaver Collins was born on October 28, 1928 and grew up in middle Tennessee as a son of a “country doctor.” He was a pillar of Vanderbilt University, having obtained his BA (1948) and his MD (1951) degrees there. He studied pathology under Ernest William Goodpasture, MD, spent a year in Internal Medicine at Barnes Hospital in St Louis and was a Fellow in Microbiology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He returned to Vanderbilt where he remained for his entire career. He established the hematopathology division and fellowship-training program and spent more than half a century teaching medical students, residents, and fellows. In addition to numerous awards (including >7 teaching awards) at Vanderbilt, he received the Distinguished Pathologist Award from the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology in 2005. He inspired many medical students to enter pathology including a record 17% in the Vanderbilt Class of 1974. Although his mind remained strong, as he told one of us, his body faded, and he passed away in Nashville, Tennessee on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2013.
