OSLER LIBRARY NEWSLETTERMcGILL UNIVERSITY, MONTREAL, CANADA

SIR WILLIAM OSLER AND

MABEL PUREFOY FITZGERALD

N NOVEMBER 1973 theOsler Library received thefollowing message from Mr.R.W. Hunt, Keeper of WesternManuscripts at the BodleianLibrary in Oxford. "Amongthe papers of the late MissMabel Purefoy FitzGerald, of12 Crick Road, Oxford, is a

box of letters from Sir William Osler. These letters areto be offered to the Osler Library of McGill University,in accordance with Miss FitzGerald's wishes." The offerwas, of course, promptly accepted and shortly thereafterthe letters arrived in Montreal. Written during the period1905to 1919, they cover a wide variety of subjects. Manyconcern books and pamphlets of historical interest.Miss FitzGerald was actively involved in searching forand acquiring items for Osler's library.* He in turnkept her informed of books and pamphlets he had foundand often presented her with volumes which he knewshe would enjoy and treasure. Other letters relate toMiss FitzGerald's scientific career and Osler's attemptsto help her in every possible way. Still others are of apurely personal nature. The letters are accompanied byMiss FitzGerald's explanatory notes. These notes, oftenquite extensive, are perhaps even more interesting thanthe letters. For example, one of Osler's letters occupiesonly three lines, merely giving her an appointment forthe next day. To this Miss FitzGerald has appendedalmost a page and a half of notes, describing her meetingwith Osler and its effects on her research.

The following account is based largely on these lettersand explanatory notes, bequeathed to the Osler Libraryby Miss FitzGerald. Supplementary material has beengenerously supplied by Dr. A.H.T. Robb-Smith andDr. R.W. Torrance of Oxford and useful informationhas been obtained from an article by Dr. D.B. Dill inThe Physiologist. ** No attempt has been made to providea complete description of Miss FitzGerald's full andvaried life or an analysis of her scientific work. The chiefpurpose of this account is to throw light on her relation-ship with Osler.

Miss FitzGerald first met Osler on August 1st, 1905, afew months after his arrival in Oxford. She was then inher early 30's and already launched in a career as a physi-ologist. But, although launched, she was encounteringdifficulties due to her sex; prejudice against women inmedicine and related fields was strong. She had studied

physiology at Oxford University under Professor FrancisGotch in the late 1890's when women were not officiallyadmitted to such programs. She did well in her exam-inations but, being a woman, was not given a degree.Following this she embarked on a number of studies,including measurements of normal values of alveolarcarbon dioxide pressure in adults and children at sealevel. In this investigation she collaborated with Dr. JohnScott Haldane. She wanted to extend her research tochanges in alveolar carbon dioxide pressure in disease,but her sex and the relative novelty of such experimentalwork made it difficult for her to obtain permission toconduct measurements on patients in the RadcliffeInfirmary. However, as she herself has recorded, "thehorizon brightened with the advent of Dr. Osler."

As already mentioned, her first meeting with Osler wason August 1st, 1905. Haldane had asked Osler if MissFitzGerald could be given access to patients in theRadcliffe Infirmary. The request met with a ready res-ponse. Osler wrote Miss FitzGerald, "Could you meetme at the Radcliffe Infirmary tomorrow [August 1st]at 10:30 a.m. There is a very good case of PerniciousAnaemia which might do for your work." In her ex-planatory note, Miss FitzGerald wrote that it was on abeautiful summer day that the appointment was keptand that Osler was dressed to suit the heat of the day inwhite and a straw hat, "not as an orthodox Professor ofMedicine about to visit the wards." The selected casewas produced as promised. In the days which followed,Osler produced many other suitable cases and "everythingwas made easy" for her to carry out her research, bothin the wards and with out-patients. This was not all. Oslerarranged for her to undertake clinical laboratory workat the Radcliffe Infirmary and saw to it that she wasinvited to lectures, clinics, exhibits, medical societymeetings, and hospital rounds. As their ways led together- Crick Road, where Miss FitzGerald lived, being thenext parallel street to Norham Gardens - she oftenaccompanied Dr. Osler to or from the Infirmary andafterwards was generally among the fortunate ones takenback to tea; a "book talk" frequently followed. Smallwonder that she remarked that "the horizon brightenedwith the advent of Dr. Osler."

With Osler's encouragement, and no doubt with hisinfluential help, Miss FitzGerald obtained a RockefellerTravelling Fellowship and sailed for the United Statesin December 1907. Her notes mention a thoughful actcharacteristic of the OsIers. She felt sad at leaving Oxfordand her sadness was increased by having to spend Christ-mas in mid-Atlantic on the S.S. Campania with a violent

storm raging. Lonely and very much under the weather,she was cheered by greetings and gifts from "Wm. Oslerand G.R. Osler." These the OsIers had dispatched tothe ship's doctor at Liverpool, charging him to deliverthem on Christmas Day.At the Rockefeller Institute in New York she worked withNoguchi in bacteriology and, whilst in North America,went to the University of Toronto to work for a fewmonths with Professor A.B. Macallum on the secretionof gastric acid. Throughout this period in the UnitedStates and Canada, encouraging letters, containing newsof Oxford, came to her regularly from Osler. In them hesent greetings to his many friends, greetings which whendelivered must have greatly enlarged the circle of herown acquaintances and friends.

In May 1910 Miss FitzGerald came back to Oxford andOsler's invitations to all manner of medical events re-sumed. Then in 1911 she returned to the United States.During that year she made what was probably her mostimportant scientific contribution, a study of bloodhaemoglobin concentrations and alveolar carbon dioxidepressures at high altitudes conducted when she was amember of an Anglo-American Expedition to Colorado.

With the outbreak of World War One in 1914, MissFitzGerald wished to return to Great Britain and soughtOsler's assistance. As always, his response was immediateand helpful but her lack of formal qualifications provedto be a handicap. Eventually she was offered the post ofClinical Pathologist to the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh;she was appointed in June 1915 and held this post forfour years. The correspondence with Osler continuedunabated, mainly about the acquisition of books andpamphlets for his library, until the autumn of 1919.

With Osler's death in December 1919 the story of thishappy and fruitful association comes to a close but apostscript must be added. Miss FitzGerald lived on for

--..

many years. After the end of World War One she didbacteriological work in Edinburgh and then around 1930she returned to Oxford to look after the home in CrickRoad where her sisters had continued to live. She rapidlydisappeared from view as far as the medical and scientificworlds were concerned. This period of relative obscuritylasted for over forty years except for brief recognitionof her past career during the J.S. Haldane CentenarySymposium held at Oxford in 1961. Then, eleven yearslater, on August 3rd, 1972 she celebrated her hundredthbirthday with all the publicity that such an observanceoften entails. A newspaper account* commenced withthe followingwords - "An Oxford woman who is 100today never got a degree, but she became the friend andcolleague of some of the most eminent scientists of theearly twentieth century." It was not long before her lackof a degree was corrected. Oxford University offeredher an honorary Master of Arts. On December 14th, 1972a special Congregation was held for her in ConvocationHouse adjoining the Sheldonian Theatre, a ceremonydescribed at the time as unique in Oxford's 800-yearhistory** and one which surely would have delightedSir William Osler. At long last she became an Oxfordgraduate, a distinction she had earned but not receivedmore than seventy years before.In view of her advanced age it could hardly be expectedthat she would live much longer and death came onAugust 24th, 1973, three weeks after her 101st birthday.Thus she outlived Osler by more than half a century. Hercare in preserving and assembling his letters with theaddition of her own notes and her wish that they shouldcome to the Osler Library showed that, throughout herlong life, she remembered and valued that rewardingfriendship of her earlier years.

A RECENT OSLER LIBRARY EXHIBIT

From October 1977 to January 1978 the Osler Libraryexhibit was devoted to the histories of the McGill Medicaland Osler Libraries. The greater part of the exhibit dis-played books, manuscripts, and photographs relatingto the story of the Medical Library. This is the oldestlibrary on the campus, having been established in 1823,and its priceless archives have recently been transferredto the Osler Library. The early nucleus of the MedicalLibrary consisted of volumes from the private collectionsof the founders of the McGill Medical Faculty. Acqui-sitions bearing the signatures of three of the founders,Holmes, Robertson, and Stephenson, were shown, alongwith pictures of the men themselves. Of these Holmeswas both first librarian and first Dean of the MedicalFaculty. Another feature of this section of the exhibitwas a framed collection of photographs of the librariansof the Medical Library from 1823 to 1967, prepared byMrs. Margaret Farmer as the Canada Centennial Projectof the Medical Library. The exhibit also included theonly known extant copy of the first (and only) printedcatalogue of the Medical Library (1845). An interestingCanadiana item from the Medical Library Archives wasalso shown: a "Tariff for the Different Cities Adoptedby the' College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Provinceof Quebec 27th September 1877". This list quotes a feeof $25.00 for "Reduction of Hernia by Taxis."

The Osler Library history was illuminated with a glimpseof the original manuscript introduction by Sir WilliamOsler to the catalogue of his library, the BibliothecaOsleriana. A photograph of the library in his privatehome in Oxford was also shown, as well as a case full of"Treasures from the Osler Library": a copy of La Henriadeinscribed by Voltaire to his physician, a 2,600-year-oldclay tablet from Assyria, surgical instruments designedby Dr. Norman Bethune, an incunable printed in 1477featuring a miniature portrait of Saint Bonaventura,and a book weighing 28Y4pounds! Of the last, Dr. W.W.Francis, first Osler Librarian, has said: "I was in Oxfordwhen this book arrived about 1918. Osler grumbled andgroaned getting it out of the case and handed it to mewith the remark, 'Jehoshaphat, take it up and weigh it.'*

A BIRTHDAY GIFT

In honour of Dr. Harold N. Segall's eightieth birthdaylast October, his family, friends, and colleagues presentedto the Osler Library gifts totalling more than $1500.

Dr. Segall became a member of the Board of Curatorsof the Osler Library in 1972 but his interest in Osler andthe Osler Library goes back many more years. He wasintroduced to Osler's essays by Dr. Maude Abbott a fewmonths after his medical graduation in 1920 and eversince the Osler Library came to McGill several yearslater Dr. Segall has been its good friend and generousand discriminating benefactor. One of his recent donationswas a long-lost page from Osler's "Post-mortem bookof the Montreal General Hospital" discovered by Dr. Segallwhen it fell out of a book he had bought second-hand(Osler Library Newsletter, June 1977).

The monies contributed in honour of Dr. Segall will beused to repair and restore some of the most importantand most valuable books and manuscripts in the OslerLibrary.

OSLER DAY - 1978

A previous Newsletter (June 1976) reported that McGillUniversity had established an Osler Day to be observedannually on the day of the meeting of the Board ofCurators of the Osler Library and the Osler SocietyBanquet. The events of that day also include an OslerLecture. The first Osler Day fell on April 20th, 1977(Osler Library Newsletter, June 1977).The second OslerDay will be April 19th, 1978. The Osler Lecturer will beThe Honourable Mr. Justice Thomas R. Berger of theSupreme Court of British Columbia. He will discusssome of the moral and ethical issues that arise with theadvance of the industrial system to the frontier and theconsequent impact on the northern environment andnorthern native peoples. A special additional event ofOsler Day 1978 will be the official opening of the FrancisWing (Osler Library Newsletter, June 1977).

REGINALD HARRISON HILL (1894-1976)The Osler Library has rather belatedly received newsof the death on October 15th, 1976of Mr. R.H. Hill. AllOslerians will recall that he was one of the editors of theBibliotheca Osleriana. He began his distinguished biblio-graphic career as ajunior helper in the Bodleian Library.He served on the staff of the Bodleian from 1908to 1944and was Librarian and Secretary to the Trustees of theNational Central Library from 1945 to 1958. Accordingto Dr. W.W. Francis, Mr. Hill was associated with theBibliotheca Osleriana for a greater number of yearsthan any other person. It has been said that his expertbibliographic work on that monumental volume hasplaced all medical bibliographers in his debt.
