- Creator:
- Jacobs, Henry Barton
- Contributor:
- Cushing, Harvey (Transcriber)
- Recipient:
- Adami, J. George
- Date:
- 1 February 1904
- Description:
- Jacobs reports on the motion made at a recent Conference in Baltimore, presided over by Welch and attended by a number of physicians interested in the study of Tuberculosis, to create a committee to deal with the present Tuberculosis issue in the U.S. The members of the committee are: Osler, Trudeau, T. Smith, Adami, V.Y. Bowditch, Knopf, Ravenel, Klebs, Janeway, Jacobs, Bracken, Flick and Biggs.. [Description courtesy of McGill University.]. About this transcript: Soon after Osler's death in 1919, Lady Osler asked their good friend Dr. Harvey Cushing to write a biography. For this project, Cushing gathered a wide variety of material, including a substantial amount of Osler correspondence and other memorabilia borrowed from Osler's family, friends, and colleagues. He employed three secretaries to transcribe these documents, and later donated the transcripts (along with his other working materials) to the Osler Library. Because many of the original documents were returned to the owners, the Cushing transcripts constitute the largest and most accessible collection of Osler's correspondence.. Harvey Cushing's "Life of Sir William Osler" was published by Oxford University Press in 1925, and was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1926.
