Sir William Osler |
 |
| After a stint
at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Dr. Osler was invited
to be the first Chief of Medicine in the newly formed Johns Hopkins
Medical School. Here he was able to promote the adoption of European
scientific medicine throughout the United States both by his teaching
and through the publication of what became the standard textbook of
medicine throughout the English-speaking world and beyond: Principles
and Practices of Medicine (New York: Appleton, 1892). |
| Dr. Osler became Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford in 1905, and was made a Baronet in 1911. He bequeathed his splendid historical library of over five thousand volumes to McGill University to form the Osler Library. |
