Scope and Contents
This unprocessed collection contains papers pertaining to Stanhope Bayne-Jones. The most interesting portion of the collection consists of Bayne-Jones's memoirs. These are in the form of a five-volume mimeographed copy of typed transcripts of an oral history elicited by Dr. Harlan Phillips from Bayne-Jones for the National Library of Medicine in 1966. In the interviews Bayne-Jones describes his education and service in World War I, his research, colleagues, and his career.
The collection also contains several items of Bayne-Jones's correspondence about the report of the Dean of the Yale School of Medicine to the President of the University and about the Scientific Research Bill of 1937. In addition, there is a copy of a report about medical research produced for the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare by a committee of which Bayne-Jones was the chairman.
The remaining papers, approximately one third of the collection, consist of correspondence, financial records, notes, and printed matter of the Bayne-Jones Portrait Committee. This Yale School of Medicine group was charged with having a portrait of Bayne-Jones painted for the Historical Medicine Library, and the papers deal with fund-raising and with the official unveiling of the portrait on December 11, 1959.
