HENRY ODLAND, M. D.
In the field of professional service Dr. Henry Odland has made rapid progress
because of his ability, enterprise and determination, and he has already
established his position among the leading medical practitioners of Minneapolis,
although his residence in this city covers but three years. He was born at
Hurley, South Dakota, March 12, 1887, a son of Eric H. and Olive Ann (Johnson)
Odland, both of whom were natives of Norway. The father was but a year old at
the time his parents came to the United States and in 1854 they became residents
of Wisconsin. In 1860 they removed to South Dakota, where they acquired
government land on which they resided for many years, bringing the tract to a
high state of development, and on reaching manhood their son Eric also chose the
occupation of farming.
In the country schools of his native state Henry Odland acquired his early
educa­tion, and he afterward attended the South Dakota State College. In the
fall of 1909 he became a student at the University of Minnesota, from which he
received the B. S. degree, and in 1915 he was graduated from that institution,
winning the M. D. degree. The next two years were spent as an interne at the
Royal Victoria Hospital of Montrea?, Canada, and he thus gained valuable
practical experience. He then returned to Minne­apolis and in November, 1917,
enlisted for service in the World war, being commissioned a first lieutenant. He
was an instructor in the Army Laboratory School at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas,
which was later removed to New Haven, Connecticut, and was afterward known as
the Yale Army Laboratory School. He was promoted to the rank cf adjutant and was
stationed at that school until the signing of the armistice, when he was sent to
Camp Grant, Illinois, where he remained for a month. He was then transferred to
United States General Hospital, No. 35, at West Baden, Indiana, where he was
mustered out as captain in the Medical Reserve Corps. He returned to this city,
where he has since successfully followed his profession, with offices in the
Metro­politan Bank building. He is now an instructor in dermatology and syphilis
in the medical school of the University of Minnesota and is also on the medical
staff of the Minneapolis General Hospital, having charge of cases of that
nature, in addition to which he is caring for a large private practice. During
the scholastic year of 1916-17 he acted as assistant instructor in pathology and
bacteriology at McGill Univer­sity of Montreal, Canada. He has a comprehensive
understanding of the science of medicine and is correct in the application cf
his knowledge to the needs of his patients.
On the 8th of October, 1919, Dr. Odland was united in marriage to Miss Alice
Chipman Fisher of Chatham, in the province of New Brunswick, Canada. The Doctor
is a member of the Minnesota Dermatological Society and Phi Delta Theta and Nu
Sigma Nu, college fraternities. Close study and broad experience have augmented
his knowledge and promoted his efficiency and he has become recognized as an
expert dermatologist and an able exponent of his profession.
