Century Memorial
E. Ward [sic: Edward] Bennet Bronson was more than a celebrated physician. He was a man of wide general reading, liberal culture and varied tastes; an ardent lover of many outdoor sports and, as member of the New York Canoe Club, remarkably expert in sailing. These avocations, and his old-time practice of long pedestrian tours in Switzerland and the Tyrol, which colored with pictures of delight his latter-day memories, explained the doctor’s physical appearance of youth and activity, after he had grown old in the years of professional life. Dr. Bronson stood in the front rank as practitioner, lecturer and writer on his specialty, dermatology, the study of which he had begun as far back as the sixties in the College of Physicians and Surgeons and had supplemented with prolonged medical investigation at the hospitals of Berlin, Dresden, Prague, Vienna, Paris and London.
