Biographical history
David P. Barr was born in Ithaca, N. Y., graduated from Cornell University in 1911, and received his medical degree three years later at Cornell's Medical College, where he joined the faculty in 1916. Following clinical and research training, at the Cornell Medical Division at Bellevue Hospital and the Russell Sage Institute of Pathology in New York City, he was commissioned a captain in the Medical Reserve Corps in World War I in the Army Expeditionary Forces, serving with the Presbyterian Hospital Unit and the Army Gas Service from 1917 to 1919. Dr. Barr was associated with the Cornell University Medical College for more than 50 years. He became Busch Professor of Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine and physician-in-chief at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis at 35, then an unprecedented age for such a post.
