William F. Windle papers

Two typewritten manuscripts by William F. Windle, PhD, with accompanying correspondence. The first manuscript, "The Beginning of Anatomy in Our Medical School," was an address given at Northwestern University Medical School's Founders' Day celebration in 1943 and describes the history of medical education at Northwestern since the school's founding in 1859, with particular focus on Titus DeVille, . The second, Physiology of the Fetus: Origin and Extent of Function in Prenatal Life, is a 257-page manuscript for a book, subsequently published by W.B. Saunders Company in 1940, with accompanying corrections and index. Correspondence consists of letters between Northwestern University Medical School reference librarian Georgia Price and various institutions regarding information about Titus DeVille, as well as letters between Windle and R. W. Greene at W.B. Saunders regarding the publication of Physiology of the Fetus.
