SIGNED BY HANS SELYE TO OGLESBY PAUL: "To Dr. Oglesby Paul/ Very cordially/ Hans Selye/ Montreal 1964." Oglesby Paul (1916-2007) was a cardiologist who had a close association with the cardiologist Paul Dudley White: "After his medical school graduation, Oley (as he was affectionately known) enlisted in the Navy and served as ship's doctor on the USS Daly for 4 years. Upon his return from naval assignments, he completed his residency at Massachusetts General Hospital. While there, he made the acquaintance of Dr Paul Dudley White who became a valued mentor for many years to come. Dr Paul published 'Take Heart,' a biography of Dr White in 1986. Dr. Paul assisted Dr. White with the annual course in cardiology, attended by physicians from all over the world. Among the many valuable lessons imparted to Dr. Paul by Dr. White, a master clinician, were the importance of physical examination and history taking. He later credited these as having served him well throughout his career as a cardiology consultant, and was able to happily pass these on to physicians under his own mentorship." The chapters in Selye's book are: 1 Why should you do research?; 2 Who should do research?; 3 What should be done?; 4 When should it be done?; 5 Where should it be done?; 6 How to behave; 7 How to work; 8 How to think; 9 How to read; 10 How to write; 11 How to speak.
