INTRODUCTORY NOTE
The cataloguing of the Osler Society
presentations had as its genesis my curiosity about the nature of the
talks in the earlier years of the society. Mark Silverman, President of
the American Osler Society in 2000 had also conceived of a “talk about
the talks” as he cleverly put it. Mark and others have kindly provided
me with the programs of the earlier years and this project has moved
forward with his approval and blessing. My work was jump started by the
compilation of the first seventeen years by Jack D. Key and Barbara
Tarpenning. As Osler has stated “the great republic of medicine knows
and has known no national boundaries” and I have chosen to include the
lectures from the London, Japanese and McGill Osler Societies. In
addition, Oslerian Societies once existed at Saranac Lake, NY, Los
Angeles, California and at the Mayo Clinic and I have included as many
of those titles as I could locate. While perhaps the librarians or true
historians could have done a better job of this, I chose to assemble the
data myself and even do the tedious job of typing so that I might become
more intimately acquainted with the material as I compiled it. Doing so
has left me well prepared to analyze the titles to look for recurrent
themes and unexpected currents. While Cushing and Bliss pointed out
Osler’s distaste for the telephone (and no doubt he would have abhorred
the beeper), I suspect Osler would have loved to communicate by email.
That being the case, please email me at “clyde.partin
@emoryhealthcare.org” if you see any errors of fact, omission or commission.
Special thanks to the librarians at Trudeau Medical Institute, Osler
Library at McGill University, and at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester for
their enthusiastic assistance. I also thank my wife, Kim DeGrove, who,
while not entirely understanding of my fascination with all things
Oslerian, has put up with my early morning and late night typing on the
computer without complaint.
ORGANIZATIONAL COMMENTS
The presentations are grouped by society and are
in alphabetical order for some and by years for others. When there were
two or more presenters, I have listed the other presenter(s). The
asterisk identifies the lead author. The legend for abbreviations within
the parenthesis is as follows:
JM…………………..John McGovern Lecture
PA…………………..Presidential Address
PO…………………. Published in The Persisting Osler
POII…………………Published in The Persisting Osler II
POIII..........................Published in The Persisting Osler III
R………………… …Radbill Lecture.
SS…………………. Special Symposium
ST…………………. Student Presentation
Many of the presentations are published elsewhere. The interested reader
is advised to review An Annotated Checklist of Osleriana, Volumes I and
II, edited by Earl Nation, Charles Roland, and John McGovern, for
further information on if and where a talk has been published.
