Bio
Dr. Hutchins was a prolific clinico-pathologic researcher, with over 500papers published in peer-reviewed journals at the time of his death, as well ashundreds of academic presentations, more than 50 book chapters, and two books.He was a tireless champion of the autopsy as a quality assurance, educational, andresearch tool. Among over 50,000 autopsies performed at The Johns HopkinsHospital since 1889, Dr. Hutchins personally examined reports and slides fromover one quarter of the cases, as part of his research and educational work.Dr. Hutchins was an acclaimed professional educator and medical schoolteacher. He gave lectures on cardiac and pediatric pathology in the medical schoolpathology course, provided postgraduate training to pathology and other medicalresidents, and taught numerous courses to professional colleagues. Nearly all thepeer-reviewed papers published during Dr. Hutchins' career were collaborationsinvolving medical colleagues, residents, and medical students. Many of the leadingacademic pathologists today were nurtured by collaborations with Dr. Hutchins.Dr. Hutchins had a few rules of academic collaboration, which he followedconsistently. The face page for a research paper (title, authors, order of authors,work assignments, institutional affiliations, funding, etc.) was settled beforesubstantial work began on the project. In this way, there would be no secondguessing later in the project of who did what. The person writing the first draft ofthe research paper became the first author. Thus Dr. Hutchins gave hard-workingjunior colleagues the opportunity to be first author on a research study. Dr.Hutchins also managed any political fallout from powerful colleagues, who mightseek to marginalize the contributions of junior colleagues. Dr. Hutchins had astrong sense of fairness in rewarding collaborators on the basis of their workproduct, not on their political position.Dr. Hutchins had a probing intellect and a deep sense of the importance ofpathology and autopsy pathology. Through careful gross and microscopicobservations he helped to elucidate the mechanistic relationship between coronaryartery disease and myocardial infarction, the anatomic basis for a number ofcongenital diseases, and the organ-specific effects of clinically important systemicdiseases such as sarcoidosis and progressive systemic sclerosis. It is not surprisingthat in 2009 he received the College of American Pathologists LifetimeAchievement Award.We both had the opportunity of working with Dr. Hutchins first as traineesand later as colleagues on the faculty. Dr. Hutchins had a brilliant mind, a subtlesense of humor, and the ability to turn a fragment of any conversation into a wittyobservation. He was a keen observer of images and an aficionado of art museums.It seemed to us that Dr. Hutchins probably remembered the detailed appearance ofevery autopsy slide he had ever examined. In his semiretirement, Dr. Hutchins splithis time between his still-active research and service career in the department andfar-flung vacations with the love of his life and wife of 53 years, Loretta. He leavesbehind a magnificent legacy of academic achievement and mentorship. He will begreatly missed.
