SIGNED BY THOMAS CULLEN: "To Charles Bagley Jr./ with kindest regards/ Thomas S. Cullen Nov. 22 1920." In his Preface (see photo), Cullen writes: "This paper was the address in Surgery before the Western Surgical Association in Kansas City, December 1919. I have had it reprinted [offered here] in order that my friends may have it in separate form. I wish to express my indebtedness to Mr. Max Brödel, Director of the Department of Art in Medicine, for the excellent illustrations." The drawings by Max Brödel are figs. 1, 2, 3, 7 (in color), 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 22, 24, 26, 27, 30, 35, 39, 41, 42, 44, 47. This monograph should not be confused with Cullen's earlier book entitled Adenomyoma of the Uterus, which was published in 1908. ABOUT THE RECIPIENT CHARLES BAGLEY: Bagley received his M.D. degree from the University of Maryland in 1904. He was Harvey Cushing's last neurosurgery resident at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and in the first group of Cushing's neurosurgery residents at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston. In 1920 he was a founding member of The Society of Neurological Surgeons, the oldest neurosurgical society in the United States. "Among Cushing's first resident trainees at the Brigham were Carl Rand, Edward Towne, Charles Bagley Jr., Charles Dowman Jr., John Morton, and Samuel Harvey. . . . Charles Bagley left home at 18 years of age and, without a high school diploma, funded his own medical school tuition at the University of Maryland, eventually graduating second in his class. He became a wartime leader in the care of head-injured patients. Perhaps Bagley's greatest contribution was within the Surgeon General's Office as head of the Brain Surgery Section. He was charged with delivering more than 300 brain surgeons to France for the war. He developed short subspecialty training courses. . ." (pp. 3-5 in "Exemplary Mentorship in Action: Harvey Cushing's Trainees from 1912 to 1919" by Michael P. Catalino and Edward R. Laws Jr.). On January 13, 1954, there was a Symposium entitled "Harvey Cushing as We Knew Him", which was published in the Bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, Vol. 30, November 1954. The symposium included reminiscences of Cushing by John F. Fulton, Bronson Ray, Leo Davidoff, Thomas I. Hoen, John E. Scarff, Charles Bagley, and Edward H. Hume. Bagley's contribution, entitled "Harvey Cushing as I Knew Him", is on pp. 912-914. A .pdf file of the entire symposium can be read online for free. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 17016
