NOTE OF PROVENANCE
The Connie Guion, MD Papers came from three different sources and were put
together as one collection in June 2002.
Twenty-one boxes made up the Guion-McCombs Collection, which was a
compilation of two separate collections, originally housed at the Arthur and
Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America at Radcliff
College and the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College.
The Schlesinger Library approached Dr. Guion about her papers in 1951. In
1953, Dr. Guion donated some material. Dr. Annie Parks McCombs donated the
bulk of the material to the Schlesinger Library in August of 1975 and 1976. The
Schlesinger Library papers were donated to the New York Cornell Medical
Center Archives in May 15 and 19, 1987 and came in ten record boxes.
The Sophia Smith Collection is not documented. There is a letter dated February
4, 1966 thanking her for her donation. Connie Guion’s papers from The Sophia
Smith Collection were donated to the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center
Archives in May 8, 1988 and came in six document boxes (25 inches).
Dr. Annie Parks McCombs donated the third collection called the Connie Guion,
MD Papers directly to the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center Archives at
an unidentified date. This collection was originally five record boxes.
The Guion-McCombs Collection and Connie Guion, MD Papers were placed
together as one collection in June 2002.
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE:
Dr. Connie Guion was born in Lincolnton, NC on August 29, 1882. She was the
ninth of twelve children born to Benjamin and Katherine Caldwell Guion. Her
siblings were sisters: Laura (Haskell), Katherine (Babcock), Ferbia (McCombs),
Ridie, Josephine (Hunt), Alice (Vason), Mary Wood (Newton), and brothers:
Benjamin, Louis, Alexander, and Vivian. She attended Miss Kate Shipp's
School, 1898-1900, Northfield School for Girls, 1900-1902, and Wellesley
College, 1902-1906. After graduation, Dr. Guion taught chemistry at Vassar
College (1906-1908) and Sweet Briar College (1908-1913). While teaching, she
received a Master's Degree in Science at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.
In 1913, she was admitted to the Cornell University Medical College branch in
Ithaca. She graduated first in her class in 1917. She received the John Metcalfe
Polk prize for general efficiency and another prize for Otology. She completed
her internship and residency at the Second Medical Cornell Division at Bellevue
Hospital where she fought to end the 24-hour ambulatory shifts for residents.
After her residency, she worked at the Booth Memorial Hospital as an Attending
3
Physician (1920-1926) and as Director of Department of Medicine at New York
Infirmary for Women and Children (1925-1929). She also became an assistant
for Dr. Frank Meara and took over his private practice upon his death in 1927.
In 1929, she became the Chief of the General Medical Clinic at the Pay Clinic
(which later became the Outpatient Department of the New York Hospital-Cornell
Medical Center). She continued this position until she retired in 1953. At the New
York Hospital she began as an Assistant Attending Physician in 1932 and rose to
Attending Physician status in 1943. At the Cornell University Medical College
she began as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine in 1929 and in 1946
became one of the first women in the United States to be appointed a Professor
in Clinical Medicine.
In addition, she was the first woman to be a member of the New York Hospital
Medical Board and be elected an Honorary Governor of the Society of the New
York Hospital.
In 1963, the new outpatient building was dedicated the Dr. Connie Guion
Building, which was the first building to be named after a living woman doctor.
Dr. Guion died on April 29, 1971 at the age of 88.
Dr. Annie Parks McCombs was the niece of Dr. Connie Guion. She was the
daughter of Ferbia Guion and James McCombs. She was born on March 2,
1902. She attended Connecticut College for Women (1921-1925) and Cornell
University Medical Center (1925-1929). She did her internship at Second
Medical Cornell Division of Bellevue Hospital. After her training, she went into
private practice with her aunt. She was also a member of the Pay Clinic, which
became the Outpatient Department of the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical
Center. At the hospital, she began as an Assistant Physician in 1932 and rose to
Attending Physician in 1956. She also taught at the Cornell University Medical
College from 1930-1975. She retired in 1975.
