THE Cleveland Clinic established the Frank E. Bunts Educational Institute in 1935. There, Clinic staff taught in the field of medicine, surgery, anatomy, hygiene and allied sciences.
THE first edition of "Medical Physics" was published. Otto Glasser was the editor-in-chief. The book dealt with fields of medicine and physics that apply physical principles to medical procedures in order to develop methods and tools essential to the physician and his work, for example microscopes, stethoscopes or x-ray equipment.
AFTER more than thirty years of service to the Cleveland Clinic Glasser retired but stayed in contact as an Emeritus Consultant and Professor of Biophysics.
IN the same year the German government honored his achievements by awarding him the Federal Cross of Merit.
FOUR years later, on December 11, 1964 Glasser died in Cleveland. The first Annual Otto Glasser Memorial Lecture was held in 1980, dedicated to his memory by the Division of Radiology at the Cleveland Clinic.
