Marion Daniel Shutter, D.D., LL.D.; Volume I - Shutter (Historical); volume II - Biographical; volume III - Biographical Vol II, pg 792-795 CLYDE A. UNDINE, M. D. Dr. Clyde A. Undine, physician and surgeon of Minneapolis, whose constantly developing powers have brought him to a creditable position among the leading members of the profession in this city, is also well known in the educational field, for during the past five years he has been a member of the medical staff of the University of Minnesota. He was born March 31, 1886, in the city which is still his home, and having attended the North high school was graduated therefrom as a member of the class of 1906. His further education was obtained in the University of Nebraska, from which he received the Bachelor of Science degree, and in 1916 he was licensed to practice medicine and surgery in Nebraska. He served as assistant surgeon to the Union Pacific Railroad in that state and in 1917 he was licensed to practice in Minnesota. Through the intervening period he has concentrated his efforts and attention upon professional duties in his native city and his progress has been continuous. In addition to a large private practice he has served as house surgeon at the Swedish Hospital and was surgical assistant to the late Dr. C. J. Ringnell for a period of four years. Through five years he has served on the medical staff of the University of Minnesota and he has been surgeon to the Northern Pacific Railroad arid also assistant surgeon to the American Railway Express Company since 1917. He is on the surgical staff of St. Barnabas and Asbury hospitals and was pathologist at Asbury Hospital in 1917 and 1918. In the former year he became medical inspector for the health department, occupying the position for three years. This in a measure indicates the nature and extent of his professional activities, his duties at all times being onerous and important. In 1920 Dr. Undine was united in marriage to Miss Effie D. Heighstedt of Minneapolis and they have a son, Clyde A. They reside at No. 3959 Lyndale avenue, North, and have gained many warm friends here, occupying an enviable social position. The major part of Dr. Undine's time and attention, however, is given to his professional activities and duties. He is examiner for the State Mutual Life Assurance Company of Worcester, Massachusetts, also for the Omaha Casualty Company of Omaha, Nebraska. He became chief examiner for the Benefit Association of the Railroad Employes and in 1921 he did postgraduate work at Tulane University in New Orleans. During the World war he became a member of Base Hospital, No. 13, in which he served as lieutenant, and at all times he has measured up to the highest demands made upon him for professional service. He belongs to the Henne-pin County Medical Society, the Minnesota State Medical Society and the American Medical Association. He has constantly advanced toward high ideals of knowledge and of service and has already reached a position which many an older physician might well envy.
