Letter to Harvey Cushing from Ernest A. Baker, School of Librarianship, University of London, London, England. Baker never knew of Osler's scheme for a "College of the Book." Osler was a great friend of John MacAlister, who took an active part in the foundation of the School of Librarianship, and it is very possible that the two men had often talked over the matter. Includes manuscript notes.
