First to set up a pathological laboratory at a medical school (Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan), he was the first medical educator to pair research with instruction. Called "Popsy" by friends and students, Dr. Welch was portly, friendly, modest. He was one of "The Four Doctors" of the vivid Sargent painting which hangs in the William H. Welch Medical Library at Johns Hopkins. Of the others --Sir William Osler, Dr. William Stewart Halsted and Dr. Howard Atwood Kelly-- only the last survives.
