He was educated at the University of Iowa where he received a B.S. in 1920 and M.D. in 1922. He was a lecturer in neuropathology at the University of Iowa (1922-1924). He was awarded a National Research Fellowship. He carried out research at the University of Iowa and Columbia University, New York City, from 1922 to 1926. From 1926 to 1928, Dr. Cone was an Instructor of surgery at Columbia University and a junior attending surgeon at the Presbyterian Hospital, New York City. In 1928, he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for postgraduate studies in Europe (London, Breslau, and Hamburg). In 1928, Dr. Cone moved to Montreal, Quebec, with Dr. Wilder Penfield and became associated with McGill University and the Royal Victoria Hospital.
