The Keck School of Medicine community mourns the February 5 death of Allen W. Mathies, MD, PhD, who served as dean of the medical school from 1975 to 1985. In 1999, he was named Dean Emeritus of Keck School of Medicine of USC. He was 92.<\/p>\n

During his tenure, he oversaw some of the Keck School\u2019s most significant years of growth, including the building of the Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, the doubling of the number of faculty, substantially increasing the school\u2019s endowment, and making the decision to build and operate a university hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat represented a 180-degree turn for USC,\u201d he said in an interview for the USC Living History Project in 2007, taking responsibility for a hospital rather than partnering with Los Angeles County, as had been the model for the LAC+USC Hospital relationship. \u201cIt would put us so far ahead with research and translational science,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe felt strongly about this decision,\u201d his wife, Weta, recalled in an interview. \u201cHe felt the faculty needed a place where they could also see private patients.\u201d<\/p>\n

During his time as dean, he helped change the character of the school, a shift he says began with his predecessors, Franz Bauer, MD, Roger Egeberg, MD, and Clayton Loosli, MD, PhD, who wanted to see it move from a school that trained physicians to practice, to one that also encouraged scientific investigation. It was Dean Bauer who first named Mathies to an administrative post, as associate dean of the medical school.<\/p>\n

During his 2007 Living History interview, Mathies told the story of when he questioned Bauer, \u201cWhat does an associate dean do?\u201d And Bauer answered, \u201cYou do whatever I want you to do. And when I\u2019m not here, you act as dean.\u201d He found himself participating in the recruitment of faculty, allocating budgets and space. \u201cIt was a wonderful apprenticeship,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

It’s no surprise that Mathies was as passionate about research as he was the practice of medicine. After growing up in Colorado and doing his undergraduate work at Colorado College, he served as an Army hospital lab technician at Fort McClellan, Ala, and then earned a master\u2019s degree and PhD in parasitology from Columbia University. He ultimately sought to understand both the organism and the host, which led him to pursue a medical degree, which he received, cum laude, from the University of Vermont College of Medicine in 1961.<\/p>\n

He came to USC as an intern and then a resident in pediatrics. In 1963, he was appointed senior lecturer in biological sciences at USC and then was named an assistant professor of pediatrics in 1964. He served as the head of the communicable disease service at LA County Hospital. He saw a diphtheria epidemic grip the city, and treated cases of meningitis, typhoid, tuberculosis. He witnessed the rollout of new classes of antibiotics and vaccinations. \u201cIt was a glorious time to be engaged in that kind of activity,\u201d he said in his 2007 interview.<\/p>\n

After 10 years as dean, Mathies left USC in 1985 and became the chief executive officer and president of Huntington Hospital. He helped shape that institution\u2019s future, beginning with outlining a master plan and then building a new hospital. Upon his retirement 1995, he became president emeritus and a member of the board of directors, where he served until his last day.<\/p>\n

Mathies continued his affiliation with USC as an Emeritus Member of the USC Board of Councilors and a member of the Institutional Biosafety Committee, helping to ensure the safety of laboratory technicians and scientists as they worked with gene transfers and viruses. In his 2007 interview, Mathies spoke of his relationship with USC with genuine fondness, \u201cIt\u2019s been a wonderful association, and I\u2019ve enjoyed every minute of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe loved his time at USC,\u201d said Weta. \u201cHe was very proud of his time there. And of course, he loved USC football. We had season tickets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mathies is survived by Weta, his beloved wife of 67 years, their two sons, John and Bill (Lisa), his sister Margaret (Ed), his granddaughters, Amanda (Jack) and Riley (Mark), and his great-granddaughter, Georgia. Donations can be made in Mathies\u2019 memory to the Keck School of Medicine.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":110,"featured_media":5021,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[169],"class_list":["post-5020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-campus-news","tag-latest"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAllen W.
