Davis, Nathan Smith (1817–1904) physician; born in Greene, N.Y. He settled in Chicago in 1849 where he practiced medicine and taught at Rush Medical College until his death. An early advocate of higher standards of medical education, he had put forward proposals in 1843 at a session of the Medical Society of the State of New York that led to the founding of the American Medical Association (1847), and for this reason he is sometimes known as its "father."
