http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32135338

Boys's correspondence, 1959 September - December, concerns the Episcopal Church's work on college campuses, particularly at the University of Illinois at Springfield. Correspondents include the Right Rev. Charles Asa Clough and the Rev. Samuel Joseph Wylie. The rest of this collection concerns Dr. Boys's work in the medical profession. Five volumes, 1939-1942, report surgical experiments on animals conducted by Boys. There is one volume of correspondence and reports, 1945-1953, on medical subjects, of Boys and others, but chiefly with the Central Pharmacal Company, Seymour, Indiana, for whom Boys was consultant. Several items, ca. 1920, belonging to Boys' brother, Laurence Boys, deal with the Boy Scouts, a trip to Florida, and the YMCA.

10 items.
