Fellow of American College of Chest Physicians 1951


This picture was taken in 1951 in Chicago and is labeled as FACCP. Coleman Connolly is standing in the front row, second from center isle wearing a bow tie and dark suit. This is a ceremony for candidates becoming Fellows in the American College of Chest Physicians. He never used "F.A.C.C.P." after his name as he considered it pretentious.
This room was also pictured in the collection of the Museum of Surgical Science with a similar number of probably doctors receiving fellowship designation. The Museum is affiliated with the International College of Surgeons so probably Fellows of American College of Surgery, "F.A.C.S.". If you know more please leave a comment.
