Cushing's notes

Letter to W.D. Keith, October 29, 1914

Letter to W.D. Keith from William Osler, From the Regius Professor of Medicine, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. The programme of their medical association (Vancouver Medical Association) is interesting. Makes a single criticism of the fact that they are in the King Edward High School. His opinion is that the city is large enough for the profession to have its own home. Suggests taking the model of Toronto and of some American cities. Practical advice. Would send 100 $ to help. He has seen in so many cases the enormous advantage of a home for the general profession that he commends the scheme to him heartily.

Letter to James William White, October 28, 1914

Letter to James William White from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Thanks. They have enough now, as the Rockefeller Foundation offer to help the five or six Belgian science professors at Oxford. They are hearing of new ones everyday, and they are twenty at Cambridge. Positive comments on the climate and the recruiting. The wounded are pouring in, but the hospitals are doing well. In Oxford, they have had 800 cases, and only one death, from tetanus. Surprised by the modern bullets which do not cause that much damage. He is trying to stir up the anti-typhoid inoculation. Anecdote on one of his address on an open air meeting at the King Edward Horse camp. Word about the "anti's" (people against the inoculation).

Letter to Henry V. Ogden, October 28, 1914

He will apply for a commission as soon as he sees fit. Sends him a bundle of Oxford literature, including the Red Book with Grey's speech. Mentions the help they received from America. Details about the Belgian professors situation. He cannot come to Baltimore, much to his regret. Civilities.
