This meeting will present a wonderful opportunity to meet, mingle and enjoy brunch with our colleagues from Oxford University who have traveled here from all over North America and beyond. We will be addressed by Professor Alastair Buchan, Dean of Medicine at Oxford University. The guest speaker will be Dr. Michael Bliss, the internationally renowned medical historian and author, famous for his biographies of Osler and of Cushing. He will speak about the last stage of Osler’s life and career following his departure from Johns Hopkins to become the Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford University (1905-1919). To quote from page 329 of Bliss' book, "On May 2 the blue-blooded elite of North American medicine-every living notable Osler had ever known it seemed, some of whom had travelled across the continent - gathered 600 strong at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York to say "good-bye", on the eve of his departure to Oxford. How interesting that there.should be a gathering, "almost to the day", at the same hotel 105 years later with doctors from both the United States and the UK, to learn about Osler's years at Oxford. As a special momento we are hoping to distribute to each attendee a reprint of the original menu and schedule of that dinner held on May 2, 1905. Seating is limited. Make your reservation now.
