C. Davison, Dean of the Duke University Medical School, 1927-1960 is the first-person record of Duke's medical foundation. Authored by founding Dean Dr. Wilburt Cornell Davison, the narrative reconstructs the transformation of rural North Carolina healthcare through the philanthropic vision of James Buchanan Duke and Trinity College President Dr. William Preston Few. Davison draws directly upon his private journals, administrative minutes, and correspondence to chronicle the recruitment of foundational faculty, hospital construction, and clinical curriculum development across three pivotal decades. Photographic documentation runs throughout. Full-page glossy plates carry formal portraiture of James B. Duke and Dr. William Preston Few, alongside extensive mid-century aerial views of the Gothic medical campus and historical laboratory operations. Deep blue illustrated architectural endpapers frame the text block. Archival records confirm the title was privately published in Durham circa 1966 to 1967 under the direct sponsorship of The Duke Endowment in a limited institutional print run. Davison, who studied at Oxford under Sir William Osler and served on the pediatric faculty at Johns Hopkins, details the establishment of Duke's four-quarter medical curriculum, the formation of the Private Diagnostic Clinic, and the wartime mobilization of the 65th General Hospital in Europe. The resulting text gives researchers administrative insight into early twentieth-century medical philanthropy and clinical education. Academic researchers, Duke University alumni, and medical historians turn to Davison's memoirs for their detailed accounts of interwar hospital planning and institutional expansion.…
