Oscar A. Thorup, Jr., was born March 12, 1922, in Washington D.C., the son of Pattie Walter Creecy and Oscar A. Thorup. After
earning his undergraduate degree in 1944 at the University of Virginia, he graduated from the U.Va. School of Medicine in
1946. He was a member of the Raven Society, Sigma Xi, and Alpha Omega Alpha. He did his internship at Queen's Hospital in
Honolulu, Hawai'i, and then spent two years in the Army Medical Corps at Tripler General Hospital, also in Honolulu. He returned
to U.Va. in 1949 for his residency training in internal medicine. He was a research fellow for one year at the University
of North Carolina where he worked with Dr. Louis Welt on renal function, electrolyte balance, and metabolism.
In 1953 Dr. Thorup returned to U.Va. as an Instructor in Internal Medicine and as head of the Teachers" Preventorium. The
next year he received a $30,000, five year grant from the John and Mary R. Markle Foundation which he used to study abnormal
hemoglobins. He was also appointed an Assistant to the Dean in 1954 and worked closely with Dr. Thomas H. Hunter. He served
as an Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine and Assistant to the Dean starting in 1955 until he was granted a year's leave
of absence to be a visiting investigator in Oxford, England, in 1958. He worked with Dr. R. G. MacFarlane and Dr. Alan Sharp
at the Radcliffe Infirmary on blood coagulation and continued his studies in abnormal hemoglobin. Before his return to U.Va.,
Dr. Thorup used a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation to visit medical schools in Scandinavia to assess the feasibility
of a staff and student exchange program with his alma mater. This program was eventually developed. He returned in 1959 to
U.Va. as an Associate Professor of Medicine. From 1961 to 1966 he was the director of the Hematology Training Program and
physician-in-charge of the Hematology Clinic. He served as director of the Harvey E. Jordan Research Laboratory where he studied
red cell development and aging.
Dr. Thorup left U.Va. in 1966 to take a position at the University of Arizona's future medical school as professor and chair
of the Department of Medicine. He worked with Merlin K. DuVal, M.D., and Philip Krutsch, M.D. as a three-man planning team
developing a curriculum and interfacing with architects. While in Arizona, Dr. Thorup became particularly interested in the
development of agencies that could guide and promote programs to increase equal access to health care and increase the general
quality of health care while reducing cost by better management in planning. He was a proponent of communities correcting
their own problems rather than having federal government involvement. While in Arizona, he was part of the Health Planning
Council for Greater Tucson, Southern Arizona Health Association, Arizona Heart Association, Pima County Medical Society, Arizona
Medical Association, and the Red Cross. Dr. Thorup's papers related to his time at the University of Arizona are at the University
of Arizona.
In 1972 Dr. Thorup took a sabbatical from the University of Arizona and returned to Oxford, England. He worked with Dr. Alan
Sharp and focused again on the problems of blood coagulation. He visited schools in Finland, Norway, and Sweden. He resumed
his chairmanship of the Department of Medicine upon returning to Tucson and then relocated back to the University of Virginia
in 1974 where he initiated a new program in continuing education. He became director of the Program of Human Biology and Society,
and with Dr. James Childress began a medical ethics program. He also headed the Medical Center Hour, a weekly public conference
on cultural and ethical issues related to health care. He retired in 1989 as Professor Emeritus of Medicine.
Dr. Thorup was a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians as
well as a member of the American Clinical and Climatological Association, American Federation for Clinical Research, American
Medical Association, American Society of Hematology, International Society of Hematology, and Southern Society of Clinical
Research. He also served on a number of groups in the state of Virginia. He was on the Board of Directors of the Virginia
Association of Continuing Education of Health Professions and served as Chairman of the Council of Physician/Hospital Relations
and Chairman of the Housestaff Education Committee. He was a member of the University's Health Systems Agency and Sub-Area
Council, the Alumni Faculty Committee of the U.Va. Medical Alumni Association, and the Albemarle County Medical Society.
He wrote a widely used textbook, Fundamentals of Clinical Hematology , with Byrd S. Leavell, M.D. The first edition was published in 1960; the fifth and last in 1987. Most of his publications
concerned internal medicine and hematology, but he also wrote papers on community health and medical education. He gave a
talk comparing the founding of the University of Virginia Medical School with the University of Arizona Medical School. He
did research related to Thomas Jefferson and his interest in medicine. The papers that Dr. Thorup collected concerning medicine
and Jefferson are located at the Jefferson Library in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Thorup interests included painting; several of his works are hanging in the University of Virginia
Claude Moore Health Sciences Library. On October 21, 2002, following a long illness, Dr. Thorup died at the University of
Virginia Medical Center. He was married for 58 years to Barbara Turnbull Thorup and had three children, Cathryn Lynn, Todd
Thorup, and Matthew Schuyler.
The collection includes documents related to various editions of the Fundamentals of Clinical Hematology; U.Va. Class of 1944
and School of Medicine Class of 1946 reunions; letters and Thorup's notes concerning his 1959 visits to medical schools and
hospitals in London, Utrecht and Groningan in the Netherlands, Uppsala and Goteborg in Sweden, Stockholm, Edinburgh, Oslo,
and the University of St. Andrews in Scotland and consequently letters related to summer exchanges at schools abroad in 1960
through 1964; letters and notes concerning his 1972 visits to schools in Finland, Norway, and Sweden; letters received during
1958-59 at Oxford; and talks and papers related to pharmacologic anticoagulants, fibrinolysis, pulmonary embolism, the start
of the University of Arizona Medical School, porphyrias, catalase, hemostasis, community medicine; and papers and schedules
related to classes taught at U.Va. with James Childress on ethics and public policy in health care, plagues, and AIDS. The
collection includes documents related to University of Virginia self-studies and visits to special libraries to obtain information
and reprints concerning Thomas Jefferson and Jefferson's thinking on education and medicine.
The folders are in six boxes. The first box is a collection of Dr. Thorup's talks and papers arranged by date. The second
box contains items related to UVa classes he taught with James Childress outside of the School of Medicine, also arranged
by date. The third, fourth, and fifth boxes hold correspondence and documents arranged by date. The last box contains material
related to Thorup's research about Thomas Jefferson and education and medicine.
