Arthur R. Metz received the AB in medicine from Indiana University in 1909 and later his MD degree from Rush Medical College. In a medical capacity he worked for Wesley Memorial Hospital; the Chicago Cubs; the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad; the Pennsylvania Railroad; and the Wrigley family of Chicago. During World War I he served as a captain in the Medical Reserve Corps at Base Hospital 13. In 1927, as a replacement surgeon, Metz joined the East African safari of George Getz, Jr. The collection presented here consists of photographs that Metz purchased, or was given, that depict locations and scenes during World War I. The safari images, as well as other images, will be added to this collection at a later date (NOTE: a large amount of the safari images can be found in the main IU Archives Photograph Database. Simply search the accession number 2018/102 to view them).
