A 1935 alumnus, Dr. Cameron held a Rockefeller Fellowship at New York’s Memorial Hospital (now known as Sloan-Kettering), then spent four years in the Navy. In 1946 he became Medical/Scientific Director of the American Cancer Society, and was author of the best-seller The Truth About Cancer. He was also widely credited for his very successful and life-saving promotion of the Pap smear.
Dr. Cameron was Hahnemann’s Dean from 1956 to1960, and then became the institution’s first full-time president, serving from 1961 to 1973. He is recognized as the creator of the “New Hahnemann.” Cameron developed the first full-time clinical faculty, the College of Allied Health Sciences, a 25-year facilities-improvement plan, and a focus on research funding.
