context_page_description: Charles Russell Bardeen was an American physician and anatomist and the first dean of the University of Wisconsin Medical School.
context_section_description: Bardeen was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1871, but grew up in Syracuse, New York. His father, Charles William Bardeen, was an educator and publisher. He attended the Teichmann School in Leipzig, Germany, and then completed his B.A. at Harvard University in 1893. By virtue of being in the first medical school class at Johns Hopkins University, and having a last name at the beginning of the alphabet, Bardeen was the first person ever to receive an M.D. from that institution, in 1897.
