FULLER ALBRIGHT
January 12, 1900—December 8, 7969
BY A. LEAF
FULLER ALBRIGHT was born in Buffalo, New York, just twelve
days after the opening of the twentieth century. His child-
hood and youth were passed in that period of peace, prosperity,
and general optimism that came to an end with the outbreak of
World War I.
His father was an industrialist, art patron, ant! philan-
thropist. His mother, a Fuller from Lancaster, Massachusetts,
embodied the finest traditions of the New England culture. It
was a large, happy, and close-knit family in which parents and
children shared much of their lives together—whether at the
great house in Buffalo, the long summer vacations at the family
camp in the Adirondacks, the winter holidays at Jekyll Island,
or on the "Grand Tour" of Europe.
It was a family characterized by a strong sense of humor—
and no child growing up in it was in danger of developing a
sense of self-importance. Nor were the close family ties con-
fining. It was a hospitable household with a constant flow of
visitors. However, when he entered Harvard College at the age
of seventeen, young Albright was possessed of a naivete that was
unusual even in those days and an appearance that was posi-
tively cherubic! That look of boyish innocence-somehow stayed
with him always. He also displayed a natural ebullience and
gregariousness that allowed him to fit easily into the society of a

BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS
Harvard undergraduate in the Boston community. In the
Delphic Club he established friendships that he cherished all
his life.
He graduated from college cum laude in three years and
entered medical school in the fall of 1920. It was when he
started to see patients that his long-range goals began to take
form. At first he was fascinated by obstetrics. Later in the medi-
cal course he had a brief infatuation with orthopedic surgery
but came to the conclusion that he did not have the manual
dexterity to make a good surgeon. At the same time striking
advances in medical research were being reported. Professor
lames Howard Means returned from a medical meeting to an-
nounce the dramatic discovery of insulin. Biochemistry was
beginning to furnish new insights into the functioning of the
body. Albright's natural curiosity was stimulated by the possi-
bilities of applying the new discoveries to the study of disease.
It was whetted too by the emotional experience of observing
firsthand what, for example, this new insulin could do for a
patient at death's door from uncontrolled diabetes. Throughout
his later career his investigations were apt to be linked to the
puzzles his own patients presented to him rather than to abstract
problems of biochemistry.
After an internship in medicine at the Massachusetts
General Hospital, he spent a year of research there with Dr.
Joseph C. Aub, whose studies in lead poisoning meshed closely
with Albright's burgeoning interest in the metabolism of
calcium. In this happy environment in the company of Aub,
Means, and Bauer, his latent talent began to blossom and clearly
indicated the career that he should follow. Then came a year as
assistant resident at Johns Hopkins under Dr. Warfield
Longcope. Here he struck up an acquaintance with John Eager
Howard, who shared his interest in endocrinology. They be-
came fast friends and for years were in almost constant com-
munication trying out new ideas on each other. Often, when

such ideas reached fruition, neither of them knew whose it was
in the first place—nor cared. Before returning to Boston he spent
a year in Vienna with the great pathologist, Professor Jacob
Erdheim, who proved to be an inspiring preceptor.
The remainder of his professional life was spent in research,
teaching, and practice at the Massachusetts General Hospital.
It was an extraordinarily productive career, which brought forth
new concepts in endocrinology and delineated a number of
hitherto unrecognized diseases. During this period he had asso-
ciated with him in his laboratory a succession of young investi-
gators who became leaders in the helc! of endocrinology in this
country and abroad.
In 1933 he was married to Claire Birge, of New York, in
what proved to be a supremely happy match. Claire was a superb
hostess, and their household provided warm hospitality to hosts
of students and visitors from all parts of the world.
There are two sons: Birge, an attorney in Boston, and Read
Ellsworth, who teaches at the Fenn School, in Concord,
Massachusetts.
Dr. Albright's clinical investigations were highly original
and far-reaching. His name is associated with the initial clinical
description of hyperparathyroidism and the distinction between
over-activity of all parathyroid tissue and the effect of adenoma
of a single parathyroid gland. He called attention to the associa-
tion of hyperparathyroidism with kidney stones; and, in fact, on
the basis of an extensive study carried out in his Stone Clinic,
he laid the basis for the modern diagnosis and treatment of this
condition. In his laboratory was developed a method for mea-
suring gonadotropins in the urine, which made it possible to
characterize various types of amenorrhea as well as disorders of
testicular functions. In 1928 he described a condition that has
come to be known as Albright's syndrome, the distinguishing
features of which are precocious puberty in girls, cystic bone
disease, and brownish pigmentation of the skin. More than half

BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS
a dozen other original descriptions of disease might with equal
propriety have borne his name. He pointed out the role of
steatorrhea in depleting the body of fat-soluble vitamins. He
first described renal tubular acidosis and its effective treatment
with alkali. He called attention to the occurrences of thinning
of the bones in women following menopause. He was among the
first to use estrogen to inhibit ovulation in women and pro-
gesterone to correct the metropathia caused by estrogens. He
unraveled the pathogenesis of Cushing's syndrome and sounded
the first warnings of the harmful side effects of steroids on the
tissues.
A total of 118 scientific papers bear his name, and his book
The Parathyroid Glands and Metabolic Bone Disease, published
in 1948, is still a prime source of information on the subject.
Dr. Albright was the recipient of honors and awards from
universities and learned societies all over the world. He was
President of the American Society for Clinical Investigation in
1943-1944, the Association for the Study of Internal Secretions
in 1945-1946, and the Endocrine Society in 1946-1947. He was
elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences in
1955.
In 1937, at the height of his productivity, the early signs of
Parkinson's disease made their appearance and progressed very
gradually but relentlessly for nearly two decades. This long
period was one of almost feverish activity for him, as if he were
trying to outstrip the relentless advance of his disease. He main-
tained, nevertheless, a sublime indifference to his disability and
managed to communicate complex ideas with extraordinary
lucidity. Finally, in 1956, at his own insistence, he went through
the newly devised surgical treatment for Parkinson's disease, the
indications and contraindications for which were not fully
understood! and which left him worse off than before. The
remainder of his life was spent in helpless invalidism, mitigated
only by a clouding of the sensorium and the devoted care of
nurses and attendants at the Massachusetts General Hospital.

In 1955 Harvard awarded Fuller Albright the honorary de-
gree of Doctor of Science with the following citation:
"Brilliant investigator in the complex field of nutrition and
metabolism, your keen mind and enormous courage are a credit
to this University and to Medicine."
His tastes were simple. He was never so happy as when
casting a trout fly in an Adirondack lake, unless it was when he
was talking shop wtih a colleague. He loved a good game of
bridge. He had a good eye for color and form, but no ear at all
for music. He and his wife Claire were both fond of travel and
did a good deal of it in this country, in Europe, and in South
America.
His dress reflected his lack of self-consciousness. Who can
forget the old tweed jacket, the baggy trousers, and the jaunty
bow tie?
One of Dr. Albright's best remembered characteristics was
the twinkle in his eye, which was a manifestation of his un-
conquerable joie de vivre and a slightly amused outlook on the
human condition. He carried his sense of humor into his medi-
cal writings and even into his lectures, a rare accomplishment
indeed, which added immensely to his effectiveness and
popularity.
Everyone who knew him has a stock of warm and pleasant
memories of their associations with him. One day he was joined
by a young aggressive foreign visitor in attendance at one of his
clinics. In the course of the discussion regarding one of the
patients seen on that occasion, the visitor reprimanded Dr.
Albright for not having read the visitor's writings on the subject.
Whereupon Dr. Albright humbly apologized for his negligence
but added, "I hardly have time to read my own."
At that time he was already seriously incapacitated physically,
but not mentally, by Parkinson's disease. Even then his cheerful
demeanor and unrelenting good nature had a highly psycho-

BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS
therapeutic effect upon many of the patients who flocked to him
for help. Minor complaints usually evaporated instantaneously
in the presence of this revered physician who refused to make
any concessions to his own unavoidable physical infirmities.
In addition to his continuous and diverse clinical investiga-
tions, he managed a busy practice up to the end. Several special
clinics that he conducted were an important part of his clinical
practice. Thus, he established and presided over the Ovarian
Dysfunction Clinic, the Stone Clinic, and his Saturday morning
clinic. When asked what he saw at the unnamed Saturday clinic,
he was wont to respond with a twinkle in his eye, "These are
the patients I refer only to myself." In fact, it was from the often
rare and esoteric problems that this group of patients had that
many of his clinical investigations arose. He had an uncanny
ability to capitalize upon Nature's experiments, to unravel com-
plex disorders and provide clear physiologic understanding that
often led directly to rational therapy for his suffering patients.
His pleasure in unraveling some important physiological rela-
tionship was indeed great, but he always thought of his new
findings in terms of how they would relate to improved treat-
ment for some unfortunate patient. The theoretical and the
practical were productively enhanced by his ever-active mind.
In a tribute to Dr. Albright published in 1962, one of his
younger collaborators wrote as follows:
"What about the personality of this remarkable investigator
under whose luminous common sense so many knotty problems
suddenly seemed simple? He never discussed personalities. His
private life was uneventfully happy. He married Claire Birge
and lived happily thereafter in a serene and comfortable home
where friends from all over the world were received. What about
his heroic battles with his tragic disease? Was it, after all.
heroism which made him refuse to stop doing what he liked to
do or was it just more of his famous common sense? His indif-

ference to pity was the indifference of a profoundly serene and
happy man to public opinion of any kind. Perhaps Claire's role
was more heroic; certainly it was brilliant. Charming, vivacious,
and full of enthusiasm she appeared perfectly carefree as she
added to her domestic duties the jobs of chauffeur, secretary, and
finally nurse and shouldered all the burdens of the man of the
house while appearing to depend on her husband. Although he
never was made to feel dependent on his wife, Fuller could not
have continued to work productively without her. Perhaps they
are both heroes, but they are certainly not martyrs. Martyrs are
never so widely loved and respected in their own time."
