Whereas this military training dicl little to change Arnold's inherent dislike of regimentation and all forms of physical exercise, it probably was responsible for his erect bearing and slim figure. His trim appearance was pleasing in spite of his perpetual pallor, which mirrored a sedentary life.

The medical students, in the fall of 1918, were regimented into the Johns Hopkins Unit of the Students Army Training Corps and because of Rich's previous military training, he was made a sergeant. Although the military regime did not hinder his pursuit of knowledge or further any athletic development, the war did change Rich's interest from theory to more practical medical problems; he therefore decided to specialize in experimental surgery.

Rich loved working at Johns Hopkins and living in Baltimore. He was appointed Professor of Pathology in 1944, and in 1947 he became the third Baxley Professor of Pathology, Chairman of the Pathology Department, and Pathologist-in-chief of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, adding his distinguished services to those of his predecessors, Drs.

The first, retention jaundice, results from overproduction of bile pigment in conditions that are associated with a decrease in the excretory power of the liver, such as immaturity, anoxemia, and fever. The second type regurgitation jaundice—is caused by reflux of bile from the liver canaliculi into the blood stream in the presence of duct obstruction or liver cell necrosis.

During Rich's long career, in addition to basic research, he made numerous important observations in the field of pathological anatomy and histology and clarified the pathogenesis of previously poorly understood conditions. With his colleagues, he demonstrated that portal cirrhosis in rabbits could result from repair following liver cell necrosis caused by a diet deficient in vitamins Be, B.,, Be, and nicotinic acid.

He was presented the Gordon Wilson Medal by the American Clinical and Climatological Association, the Trudeau Medal by the National Tuberculosis Association, an honorary plaque by the Japanese Society of Tuberculosis, the Seaman award by the Association of Military Surgeons, and an award by the American College of Physicians. The stupendous numbers of honors and awards received by Rich for his work in medical science might suggest that his interests were confined to this field.

From page 339... ...
In an era of specialization in the medical sciences, Rich advocated comprehensive knowledge without splintering of activities. His interest in pathology was universal, enveloping all facets of disease.
