| Can you specify the year that Holy Cross ruined Boston College's perfect football season? What year was it that BC had a perfect season going into their final game with Holy Cross where BC lost 55-12 before 40,000 fans at Fenway Park. Because BC lost they did not attend a planned party at the Cocoanut Grove night club that evening which burned to the ground that night killing 500 people. | |

| Dr. Joseph E. Murray, recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1990, is well known for his pioneering work on kidney transplants and research on immunosuppression. Dr. Murray has also had a long and distinguished career in facial reconstruction and many other aspects of plastic surgery. Along with his surgical accomplishments, Dr. Murray, like Drs. Kazanjian and Cannon, has been a strong and effective advocate for the advancement of plastic surgery as a respected specialty in Boston.
Joseph E. Murray was born in 1919 in Milford, Massachusetts. He graduated from Holy Cross in 1940 and went on to attend Harvard Medical School, receiving his M.D. in 1943. Immediately after graduation he interned at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. In 1944, Dr. Murray was inducted into the Medical Corps of the United States Army and assigned to the plastic unit at the Valley Forge General Hospital, where he met Dr. Bradford Cannon and began his career as a plastic surgeon.
Dr. Murray left the military in 1947 and returned to the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. The Brigham had no formal residency established for plastic surgery, and thus Dr. Murray, upon completion of his general surgical residency, went to New York City for specific training in plastic surgery at the New York and Memorial Hospitals. In 1951, Dr. Murray returned to the Brigham Hospital, joining the surgical staff there. During his experience at the Valley Forge General Hospital, Dr. Murray became interested in the challenges of skin grafting and tissue transplantation. This led to his interest in organ transplant surgery. Upon his return to Boston in 1951, Dr. Murray joined a team of researchers based at the Harvard Medical School and the Brigham Hospital to pursue his interests in solving the problems presented by transplantation. In 1954, he presented techniques to the Boston Surgical Society concerning reconstruction after surgery for head and neck cancer. In the mid- 1960s, Dr. Murray developed new techniques for craniofacial reconstruction.
The training of plastic surgeons flourished under Dr. Murray; today all of Boston's major hospitals train plastic surgeons. Dr. Murray served as the chief plastic surgeon at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, which later became Brigham and Women's Hospital, until 1986. He also served as the chief plastic surgeon at Children's Hospital from 1972-1985. Dr. Murray served on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, where he retired as Professor of Surgery Emeritus in 1986. Dr. Murray also has served as regent of the American College of Surgeons, chairman of the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and president of the American Association of Plastic Surgeons. In 1990, Dr. Murray became the first plastic surgeon to win the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, helping to assure plastic surgery's place in medicine and surgery. | |
