Transitions Robert Glaser, former Stanford medical school dean, dies at 93
Robert J. Glaser, M.D., former dean of the Stanford University School of Medicine, died June 7 at his home in Palo Alto. Glaser, whose health had declined in recent years, was 93. He was born and raised in St. Louis, Mo., obtained his B.S. from Harvard College in 1940 and his M.D. from Harvard Medical School in 1943. He trained in internal medicine in St. Louis, focusing his research on streptococcal infections and rheumatic fever. Appointed to the faculty of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, he rose from instructor to associate dean. In 1956, he became dean at the University of Colorado medical school, where he orchestrated the completion of a new medical center complex. In 1963, he moved to Boston to lead Affiliated Hospitals Center Inc., an ambitious, $50 million merger of six Harvard-affiliated hospitals. In 1965, he became dean of the Stanford Medical School, where he played a central role in the development of the Stanford Hospital and the Stanford University Medical Center. He helped negotiate stanford’s purchase of the City of Palo Alto’s stake in the hospital, improving access for community physicians and changing the hospital environment and teaching programs. At Stanford medical school, he also oversaw major changes in the
curriculum to give students greater flexibility, and laid the foundation for the growth of its basic sciences programs. In 1968, he was tapped to serve as acting president of Stanford University following the retirement of J.E. Wallace Sterling. In 1970, he left Stanford to become vice president of the Commonwealth Fund, a New York-based philanthropic organization devoted to improving health care. He went on to serve as president and chief executive officer of the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation from 1972 through 1983. In 1985, he became director for medical science at the Lucille P. Markey Charitable Trust, where until 1997 he oversaw distribution of more than $500 million in support of medical science research. As part of his involvement with the Palo Alto medical community, he became involved with the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. In 1981, he became a founding member of its Board of Trustees and continued to serve as an emeritus trustee through 2008. For several decades, he also was editor of Alpha Omega Alpha national medical honor society’s scholarly journal “The Pharos.� He was a founding member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. He served on the boards of many organizations, including Washington University, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Packard Humanities Institute, the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation, the Kaiser Hospitals and Health Plan, the Hewlett-Packard Company and the Alza Corporation. He received many professional awards and hon-
ors, including the Dean’s Medal from Stanford University School of Medicine, the Dean’s Medal from the Harvard Medical School and the Harvard Medal for Distinguished Service. He was married for 50 years to Helen H. Glaser, M.D., a psychiatrist in private practice in Palo Alto and on the clinical faculty at Stanford until her death in 1999. He is survived by three children, Sally Glaser of Palo Alto, Joseph Glaser II of Nashville, Tenn., and Robert Glaser, Jr., of Colleyville, Texas; and four grandchildren, Audrey Bower, Natalie Bower, Robert Glaser III and Caroline Glaser.
