Medical library marks 75 years of supporting research and patient care
Dr. Harvey Cushing, a path-breaking neurosurgeon and Sterling Professor of Neurosurgery at Yale, had books on his mind when he wrote to his friend Dr. Arnold Klebs in 1936, suggesting they consider donating their vast collections of books to Yale. In 1941, the Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library opened, including the collections of Cushing, Klebs, and Dr. John Fulton, Sterling Professor of Physiology and Cushing’s former pupil at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston.
