As It Was ... But Not Now
In 1923 in Andalusia, Alabama, twenty-odd miles north of the Florida line, a physician was born. It’s a place deep in the piney woods that was an area of sand beds, sand roads, and sandspurs. In As It Was ... But Not Now, Dr. Joseph Merrill tells his story that began in that little town more than ninety years ago. In this memoir, Merrill recalls a boy educated in the public schools of the rural South who was transformed into a physician. NIH and Baylor College of Medicine provided him an environment to study the vagaries of academic medicine in America’s changing health care industry. Filled with anecdotes and stories from his youth to his college days in medical school to his career as a physician, Merrill offers a look at the life of a doctor and the ebb and flow of the practice of medicine.

Truth Seeker
Joseph F. Merrill became the first native Utahn to earn a PhD. Working at the University of Utah, he labored to reconcile the secular world with the spiritual world of his youth. In 1912 he helped establish the first Latter-day Saint seminary at Granite High School. As Church commissioner of education, he helped establish the institutes of religion, with a mission to allow college students to reconcile the secular truths learned in university settings with the truths of the gospel. He created the Religion Department at Brigham Young University and encouraged young scholars to produce professional studies of the Latter-day Saint religion. In 1933 Merrill was called as an Apostle, where he continued his work to modernize the Church. In the final years of his life, Merrill continued to work to show that science and religion could be reconciled.
