	Walter B. Cannon Papers, American Philosophical Society
		Walter B. Cannon was widely noted for his trailblazing research in gastrointestinal physiology and as a pioneer in understanding the influence of emotional states on bodily functions and on "the understanding of nerve transmission and hormonal regulation of the body"(Lederer, p.340).
		Cannon's interest in antivivisection issues began when he observed legislative hearings on the subject while still in medical school, and he became directly involved after joining the physiology department in 1900, partly inspired by Bowditch's zeal in combatting antivivisection and partly because of his conviction that animal experimentation was necessary for medical advancement.
		Cannon perceived the human vivisection issue as a threat to the credibility and respect of medical researchers, and his attacks on the antivivisectionists grew increasingly virulent and personal as the decade wore on.

	Walter Bradford Cannon: Experimental Physiologist
		Walter Bradford Cannon was born in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, on October 19, 1871.
		Cannon in Franklin, NH As a medical student my father had found medical textbooks hard going and sleep inducing and had observed with some envy the enthusiasm of his roommate, a student at the Harvard Law School, where the case system of study was being used.
		Cannon believes that the degree of scientific insight and healing power achieved today in medicine may be in time paralleled by the social sciences for the body politics.

		Cannon was born in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, where, at Fort Crawford in the 1820s, Beaumont had carried out some of his celebrated experiments on St. Martin.

		Cannon's work, is summarized in his popular book The Wisdom of the Body (1932; New York: Norton, 1960), which is eminently accessible to undergraduate readers.
		Henderson and Cannon were strongly interested in social regulation and equilibrium, as was fitting for products of the "Progressive Era," and sought in physiological processes analogies for the notion of social and economic balance.

	Emotions and Disease Template
		However much these theoretical alternatives differed, they had in common a psychobiological orientation, in the sense that they were clearly based on notions of holistic body and mind response of the total human organism to various stimuli, threats and assaults from its environment.
		Cannon’s general program was to show how the biological organism automatically mobilized its physiological and biochemical resources by a built-in "wisdom of the body," to defend itself against real or threatened assault.
		Wolff then moved from a model of organismic self-defense directly borrowed from Cannon to a generalized notion of "stress and disease," according to which disease was the "inept" version of a normally "apt protective reaction pattern" that allowed the human organism to mobilize against stressful situations or events.
