Dr. Scott graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1929. He joined the Hahnemann faculty and was Professor and Chairman of Physiology from 1939 to1967. His department had two research grants from the National Heart Institute by the late 1940s, about the same time Dr. Scott joined other faculty in founding Hahnemann’s Cardiovascular Institute. He was head of Hahnemann’s Admissions Committee in the late 1960s and contributed an important department history to a national history of physiology.
