SIGNED BY CORNELIUS G. DYKE: "Presented to Dr. M. C. Sosman/ as a 'replacement' for an-/ other copy that 'wandered'./ Cornelius G. Dyke/ Oct. 10, 1940." ALSO SIGNED BY LEO M. DAVIDOFF. Sosman has written: "Please return to/ Dr. M. C. Sosman/ 24 Le Road/ Chestnut Hill, 67,/ Mass." "In 1922 Merrill Sosman joined the staff at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. He would later serve as the Chief of Radiology at that institution for 34 years. Sosman had the tremendous good fortune of working with Cushing when the master was at the peak of his career. Sosman, in turn, imparted a stimulus and encouragement for the investigation and publication of the tremendous wealth of clinical cases that were being seen at the Brigham at the time. In the 10 years of their association, until Cushing's retirement, 31 papers on the subject of neuroradiology were produced. . . . The dissemination of this scientific information did a great deal to advance the identity of neuroradiology. When The Harvey Cushing Society was founded in 1931, Sosman was one of only two radiologists admitted as founding members. . ." (Dean J. Gobo, in Greenblatt (ed.), A History of Neurosurgery, pp. 227-28). "One of the greatest contributors to the development of neuroradiology was the neurosurgeon Leo M. Davidoff. . . . He was a surgical resident at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in 1924, and began his neurosurgical training there the following year. 'Davey' was one of Cushing's favorite disciples, and he is considered among the most skilled. After a period of study abroad, Davidoff joined the staff at The Neurological Institute of New York in 1927. He soon befriended and collaborated with Cornelius Dyke, a radiologist who had been trained by Sosman. Sparked by Dyke's interest in neuroradiology, Davidoff became a superb neuroradiologist. Their monograph, The Normal Encephalogram, published in 1937, remains a classic publication in the field of neuroradiology. The follow-up monograph, The Abnormal Pneumoencephalogram was published in 1950 with Bernard Epstein after Dr. Dyke's untimely death. These two classic publications changed the face of neuroradiological interpretation and education in this country. . ." (Dean J. Gobo, in Greenblatt, ibid., pp. 231-32). To repeat: MUSTY ODOR.
