Dr Stuart Harrington, the 20th president of The American Association for Thoracic Surgery, was born in Blossburg, Pennsylvania, on April 20, 1889. He attended Pennsylvania State College in 1908-1909 pursuing premedical studies and enjoying a year of varsity football. He went on to study medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, managing his time to include varsity football for 3 years, and was named to an All-American team in 1912 as a halfback. He was always known as "Tack" to friends and associates, suggesting a position other than halfback. In 1913 he received his degree of Doctor of Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania and interned at Howard Hospital in Philadelphia. During the 1913-1914 football seasons, he served as football coach at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to supplement his meager income.
