Biography
Edward Anthony Spitzka, anatomist and brain morphologist, was born in New York City, the only child of Edward Charles Spitzka,
a neurologist, and Catherine Wacek. He graduated in 1898 from the College of the City of New York. After that, Spitzka entered
the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University and graduated with his M.D. in 1902. In 1901, while still a
student, Spitzka autopsied the brain of Leon F. Czolgosz, the assassin of U.S. President William McKinley. The autopsy propelled
Spitzka to the national limelight and reinforced his earlier studies on the anatomy of the human brain, forming the basis
for his later studies on the potential link between brain morphology and behaviour. After receiving his degree in 1902, Spitzka
remained at Columbia University for four years. In 1906, at the age of twenty-nine, Spitzka was appointed professor and chair
of general and descriptive anatomy at Thomas Jefferson University. In 1913, after the death of George McClellan, who had been
the chair of applied and topographic anatomy at Jefferson, both chairs were consolidated under Spitzka's leadership.
Spitzka published his detailed analysis of the brains of the American Anthropometric Association members, a group of well-known
and accomplished individuals who agreed to donate their brains for study, in 1907. The group was founded in part by his father,
Edward Charles Spitzka. He co-edited various versions of Gray's Anatomy and in 1911 was appointed director of the newly opened
Daniel Baugh Institute of Anatomy, Thomas Jefferson College. In his research, Spitzka had a special interest in brain morphology,
particulary that of famous and influential people, persons of different races, and individuals involved in criminal behaviour
(especially murderers). Spitzka's investigations explored whether or not there were morphological features of the brain that
might correlate with special talents or abilities or with behavior, good or bad. Spitzka often attended executions at prisons
and then was allowed to study the brains for their traits, as well as the effect of electricity on brain tissue. Spitzka published
much material resulting from these brain autopsies. In November 1912, due to paranoid behavior and excessive use of alcohol,
he was given a year's leave of absence "on account of health." He never returned, and he resigned in 1914. He joined the Medical
Corp in June 1917, and was honorably discharged in January 1919. In September 1922, Spitzka, like his father before him, died
of a cerebral hemorrhage. He was survived by his wife, Alice Eberspacher Spitzka and their son, Edward Jefferson Spitzka (1908-1952).
Edward Charles Spitzka, neurologist and psychiatrist, was born in New York City, the son of Charles A. Spitzka and Johanna
Tag. He attended the College of the City of New York, and graduated with his M.D. in 1873 from the University of New York.
After spending time in Europe, Spitzka returned to New York and opened a practice that dealt primarily with diseases of the
central nervous system; he also conducted research on the anatomy of the brains of animals and humans. While in Europe he
met and married Catherine Wacek. Their only son, Edward Anthony Spitzka was born in 1876. Spitzka lectured and wrote many
articles from his research. He was especially vocal about the inadequate treatment of the mentally ill patients in the U.S.
He quickly became an expert witness in legal proceedings where mental state was an issue.
Spitzka joined the American Neurological Association (ANA) in 1877. He was an editor of the American Journal of Neurology
and Psychiatry (1881-1884) and became president of ANA in 1890. Spitzka was also a member of the New York Neurological Association
and was president from 1883 to 1884. In December 1881 Spitzka was compelled, by order of the court, to testify for the defense
at the trial of Charles Julius Guiteau, the assassin of President James A. Garfield. Spitzka believed Guiteau was insane but
his opinion did not prevail and Guiteau was convicted and hanged. In 1883, Spitzka published Insanity, its classification,
diagnosis and treatment, his text on mental diseases. Spitzka died in 1914 of a cerebral hemorrhage.
Scope and Content
Collection of correspondence, papers, and ephemera related to the life and professional work of Dr. Edward Anthony Spitzka
and his father Dr. Edward Charles Spitzka. The chief subjects covered are: neurology, criminology, psychiatry and behavioral
psychology and brain morphology. The collection also includes manuscripts, drafts of articles, lectures, post-mortem autopsies,
notes and research data. There are also hundreds of drawings of brains, skulls and heads, mostly drawn and labeled by E.A.
Spitzka; also included are postcards, telegrams and one diary. The collection also contains thousands of journal, magazine
and newspaper clippings, mostly organized by topic or subject. There is also an extensive medical pamphlet/offprint collection
of approximately 900 items from the late 19th and early 20th century, many of these are signed presentation copies to E.A.
Spitzka. The majority of published items deal with neurology, psychiatry, criminology, and abnormal psychology. They are written
by E.A. Spitzka, Edward C. Spitzka, and various prominent physicians.
There is also material related to Edward C. Spitzka's work with assassin Charles Julius Guiteau and E.A. Spitzka's autopsy
of the brain of assassin Leon Franz Czolgosz. The results of E.A. Spitzka autopsies of the brains of both criminals and prominent
men (members of the American Anthropometric Association) are in the collection.
Series 1 is made up of correspondence between the E.A. Spitzka and other physicians, clippings and miscellaneous material
about various topics such as anarchists, brains, anthropology, anatomy, the murderer Chester Gillette, electrocution and capital
punishment, race and immigration, various medical issues, and E.A. Spitzka's autopsies of both father and son, Dr. Edward
Seguin and Dr. E. C. Seguin. Series 1 also contains a diary kept by E.A. Spitzka (1887-1899).
Series 2 is chiefly the results of the autopsies of brains of criminals and prominent men performed by E.A. Spitzka including
Leon Franz Czolgosz and the Van Wormer brothers (who murdered their uncle in 1901). There are also files about Charles Julius
Guiteau, including drawings, as well as files of newspaper clippings about various topics such as African Americans, neurology,
murders in New York City and others.
Series 3 is made up of offprints of articles by both Spitzkas, Dr. Paul Näcke and other prominent physicians from the years
1864 to 1913 as well as other printed items.
Series 4 contains files on anatomic and anthropometric methods, the brains of eminent men, capital punishment, the digestive
system, evolution of the human brain, suicide and various medical issues. This series also includes reprints about the brain
of John Wesley Powell and files on individuals who were then defined as feeble-minded or defective human beings. This series
also contains personal material such as family photos, personal correspondence and information about E.A. Spitzka's time at
Jefferson Medical College.
Arrangement
Organized in the following manner: Boxes 1-14: Subject Files, Miscellaneous Material, Diary and Notes; Boxes 15-25: Executions,
Autopsies and Crime; Boxes 26-43: Offprints and Printed Material, and Boxes 44-52: Personal Files, Reprints and Subject Files.
The files were essentially kept in the original order created by Edward Anthony Spitzka and his original folder titles were
used. Although from a different provenance, the fourth series was kept with the other three as they were originally together
in Spitzka's files and contain the same kind of material and cover the same subjects. The majority of the files are in alphabetical
order within their series.
