Edward W. Dempsey papers, 1958-1964 (bulk 1964). 1958-1964.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/61332009

This collection consists of material mostly from the year 1964, which was the year when the dispute between the medical school and Edgar M. Queeny, speaking for the Barnes Hospital Trustees, reached a point when there was practically no area of the joint operation on which the two institutions could agree. Material regarding Carl V. Moore's appointment as the first Vice Chancellor for Medical Affairs is included, as well as correspondence from M. Kenton King, Dr. Dempsey's successor as Dean. The text of Dr. Dempsey's resignation as Dean, his curriculum vitae and his obituary from 1975 are also included in the papers.
