Dr. Roland is survived by two sisters, Carol and Nancy; his wife Connie Rankin Roland; four children, John, Dr. Christopher, David, and Kathleen; six grandchildren, Alexandra, Gordon, Emma, Jackson, Max, and Katie; three stepchildren, Greg, Chris, and Randi; and four stepgrandchildren, Joshua, Angharad, Austin, and Roy. Early lifeDr. Roland spent his early years at God's Lake, 603 kilometres north of Winnipeg, where his father Jack was the mine accountant. He had his own dogsled team to take him to the one-room schoolhouse. When the school closed, he was sent to board with a family in Flin Flon, Manitoba to finish his schooling. In Dr. Roland's final year of high school, his father entered a Toronto sanitarium for tuberculosis and the family relocated to be near him. Chuck completed high school at Toronto's Oakwood Collegiate. He was determined to attend university despite the family's poor financial state. With savings from his many jobs and financial aid from a Toronto doctor, he was able to attend the University of Toronto. There he met and married Marjorie Kyles. After graduation, they went to Winnipeg where he entered the University of Manitoba medical school. He earned university tuition by working as a bellhop at Chateau Lake Louise in Alberta where he became a mountain climber. His proficiency came in handy one year when he was heavily involved in the rescue of three Mexican climbers stuck on a glacier after four of their friends fell to their death.[4] After internship at St. Boniface Hospital, Dr. Roland began general practice in Tillsonburg, Ontario in 1958 and then a year later with a practice in Grimsby, Ontario. Editor, Author, ProfessorRealizing that his heart was in teaching and researching, in 1964, Dr. Roland took a position at the Journal of the American Medical Association, based in Chicago and taught the history of medicine at Northwestern University. This was followed by nearly ten years at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where he helped start their medical school, taught medical history, overhauled the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, and chaired the newly created Department of Biomedical Communications. In 1977, McMaster University recruited him as its inaugural Hannah Professor of the History of Medicine at its new medical school.[5] He significantly contributed to the creation of the medical history department. During his lengthy career, he was involved in some capacity in many journals, including editing the Canadian Bulletin of Medical History. He served as president of the American Osler Society and the Canadian Society for the History of Medicine. He retired from his university post in 1999 but continued to research and write. He was a Curator of the Osler Library at McGill University for many years and a noted Oslerian. Dr. Roland started to research important events and people in medicine at a time when history did not exist as a branch of medicine. "He more than anyone else basically invented Canadian medical history as a field," said Jacalyn Duffin, a medical doctor and Hannah Professor of the History of Medicine at Queen's University.[6] He has been lauded as an "outstanding Oslerian scholar[]"[7] and a "master" Oslerian scholar[8] His pioneering work in recording oral history has left an invaluable legacy. With the advent of the tape recorder, he interviewed aging scientists about their lives, work and discoveries. The tapes and their transcripts are available at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.[9] Awards, HonorsDr. Roland was recognized by his peers by his election to the presidency of the American Medical Writer's Association, 1969–1970, the Medical Historical Club of Toronto, 1977–1978, the American Osler Society, 1986–1987, and the Canadian Society for the History of Medicine, 1993-1997. He also received an honorary doctorate from the University of Manitoba and the prestigious John McGovern Medal from Oxford University.[10] Bibliography
