Biography
Walsh was born in Archbald, Pennsylvania, the son of Martin J. Walsh and Bridget Golden Walsh, owners of Golden & Walsh General Store.[2] He graduated from Fordham College in 1884 (Ph. D., 1892) and from the University of Pennsylvania (M.D.) in 1895. After postgraduate work in Paris, Vienna and Berlin he settled in New York. In 1907, after a brief career at the New York Polyclinic Medical School, he returned to Rose Hill to join the faculty of his alma mater. Doctor Walsh was for many years Dean and Professor of nervous diseases (a field today called psychiatry) and of the history of medicine at Fordham University school of medicine. He also lectured on physiological psychology at Cathedral College in New York (1907–1938) and was medical editor of the New York Herald.[3]
At the age of 50, on August 14, 1915, Walsh married Julia Huelat Freed. Their first son, James Jr., was born two years later, and a daughter, Moira, came on November 19, 1919.
In addition to contributing to the New International Encyclopedia, The Catholic Encyclopedia and to medical journals and other publications, he also published a variety of popular works and founded the Fordham University Press.[4]
Honours
Walsh was made Knight Commander of the Order of St. Gregory the Great and also a Knight of Malta. He received many honorary degrees and belonged to numerous fraternal societies, such as The New York Historical Society, The New York Academy of Medicine and The American Medical Association.[5]
In 1940 he received the gold medal of the American Irish Historical Society.
