Life
Mallory was born in Cleveland in 1862 and graduated from Harvard University Medical School in 1890. In 1891 he became an assistant pathologist at Boston City Hospital under Wiliam Councilman . In 1893 he traveled to Europe to work under Hans Chiari in Prague and under Ernst Ziegler (1849–1905) in Freiburg im Breisgau .
After returning to Harvard, he became an assistant professor in 1896 and an associate professor of pathology in 1901. From 1928 to 1932 he was a full professor in the medical school of Harvard University.
His contributions to pathology included improvements in techniques and standardization of tissue staining ( Mallory trichrome staining ) and his book, which he co-published with James Homer Wright , became the standard work in this field. He also studied the functions of histiocytes and confirmed that the whooping cough pathogen discovered by Jules Bordet was the active ingredient. In addition, he worked on improving the classification of tumors, including those of meningiomas and cirrhosis of the liver .
In 1910 he was president of the American Association of Pathologists and Bacteriologists and was its treasurer from 1911 to 1940. He was editor of the Journal of Medical Research from 1923 and then founding editor of the Journal of Pathology from 1925. Both activities he carried out until 1940. Mallory received honorary doctorates from Tufts University and Boston University in 1928 and 1932, respectively. He also received the 1935 Kober Medal from the Association of American Physicians for excellence in pathology. In 1913 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences .
He died of natural causes at the age of 78. The pathology department of Boston City Hospital was named after him, as was the Mallory Institute for Pathology.
One of his sons, George Kenneth Mallory, became professor of pathology at Boston City Hospital in 1948. His other son, Tracy B. Mallory, was the subsequent chief of pathology at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, replacing James Homer Wright in 1926. He was also president of the Association of American Pathologists and Bacteriologists from 1951.
