Title:

Letter from William Osler to Lewellys F. Barker

Creator:

Osler, William

Recipient:

Barker, Lewellys F.

Date:

30 January 1914

Description:

In this letter, Osler responded to Barker's news that the Hopkins medical school had implemented a full-time requirement for its clinical as well as pre-clinical faculty chairs. Barker, who succeeded Osler as Chair of Medicine, refused to do this and so had to step down. Osler had earlier protested the full-time scheme as a bad idea, and was angry at the medical school's unfair treatment of his friend.
