These papers consist of material by and about Dr. Abraham Jacobi and were gathered by The Mount Sinai Hospital over the years due to his importance to the Hospital. The most interesting component of the collection is the folder of eleven letters, which relate primarily to Dr. Jacobi's various roles at Mount Sinai, in particular his service as Chairman of the Supervisory Committee of the Dispensary and as the Pediatrician in Chief. The latter is represented by a letter from 'several Pacints' [sic] complaining to Jacobi about the cruelty of the Night Nurse on the ward. There is also an interesting letter from Emil Gruening, MD in 1909 commenting about the problems he has had in the Eye and Ear Department with an unnamed adjunct physician. There are also two letters where Jacobi offers his assessment of two unnamed patients.

In 1952 The Mount Sinai Hospital celebrated the centennial of its founding in 1852. Many special events took place, while regular annual events took on a centennial air. To organize the festivities of the year, a Trustee Centennial Committee and a Physician's Advisory Committee were formed. Carl J. Austrian and Ralph Colp, M.D. were the respective chairmen. (See the Brochures file for complete list of committee members.)
One of the high points of the year was a symposium held on November 29-30, 1952 on the theme of "Medicine and Society". There was a distinguished group of speakers: Richard Shryock, Ph.D., Paul A. Weiss, Ph.D., Eli Ginzberg, Ph.D., George Baehr, M.D., George E. Armstrong, M.D., U.S. Army Surgeon General, Leonard A. Scheele, M.D., William C. Menninger, M.D., Austin M. Brues, M.D., and Alan Gregg, M.D. An historical exhibit was also organized to mark the milestone anniversary.
Another result of the centennial celebration was the publication of a history of the Hospital called The First Hundred Years of the Mount Sinai Hospital of New York, 1852-1952 by Joseph Hirsh and Beka Doherty (New York: Random House, 1952). This volume drew on the earlier efforts of Mount Sinai historians who had compiled a great deal of data and who from 1938-1944 wrote "The Story of Mount Sinai Hospital - The First Fifty Years - 1852-1902". The latter was serialized in The Mount Sinai Journal of Medicine. This work was to contain another section bringing the history up to the 1940's, but World War II ended these plans. (See the Public Relations Department files for these years for the notes and drafts of this work. See also the Director's Files, because it was Dr. Joseph Turner who conceived of and encouraged this early historical work.)
A final important development of the centennial year was the completion of a Hospital building project that saw the construction of the Klingenstein Pavilion, the Atran Laboratory and the Berg Institute for Research.
These files originated in many offices and were brought together by the Archives into this series. The correspondence files were compiled by Dr. M. Ralph Kaufman, who was on the Symposium sub-committee, and Dr. Burrill B. Crohn, who worked on the sub-committee for organizing the exhibit. The pamphlets and brochures were acquired from many sources over the years. The Symposium and the exhibit receive the most coverage in these files. There is no information about the building program here, nor is there much about the work of the Centennial committees and sub-committees themselves.

Mount Sinai Hospital (New York, N.Y.)
US AA045 · Collection · 1942-1945

The files in this collection primarily cover The Mount Sinai Hospital's doctors and nurses stationed at the 3rd General Hospital. Details about Mount Sinai clinicians and staff in active duty stationed at other locations during World War II are found in the publication Grand Rounds: Memos from Mount Sinai Men to their Fellows in the Services. The records cover the time period from 1942 through 1945.

A prominent item in this collection is Ralph Moloshok's unpublished historical account. The manuscript provides a detailed chronicle of Dr. Moloshok's experiences in basic training at Camp Rucker, and his active duty at the 3rd General Hospital in North Africa. The document is approximately 400 pages long. The first 118 pages are written as a journal, with entries appearing almost daily. These entries provide in-depth descriptions of the weeks spent in basic training at Camp Rucker. The second portion of the manuscript details the move to Casablanca, and finally the order to begin duty at the 3rd General Hospital in Tunisia.

The value of this manuscript is not just in its detailed descriptions of people, living conditions and medical military life, it also includes affixed original documents outlining the officers' schedules and basic training routines, anecdotes, illustrations (with no identifiable artist attribution), and photographs from Camp Rucker, Casablanca, Italy and France.

With so much of Mount Sinai's attention and resources turned toward the war effort, the Hospital moved to address the growing interest in information about the men and women in service at the 3rd General Hospital, as well as those assigned to other units in the war. Two members of Mount Sinai's administration, Sol Weiner Ginsburg, MD and Bella Trachtenberg responded by collecting, printing, binding and distributing the letters written by doctors in the war. These quarterly editions, called Grand Rounds: Memos from Mount Sinai Men to their Fellows in the Services, became wildly popular at home and among the soldiers serving abroad and within the United States. The compilation contains World War II letters and letter excerpts from September 1943 through October 1945.

Other important items in this collection are two scrapbooks on the nursing staff's military service during World War II. One was created by the Department of Nursing, the other by the Alumnae Association of The Mount Sinai Hospital School of Nursing. The scrapbooks include official military and hospital correspondence to and from the nursing staff in the form of letters and memoranda that range from 1942 through 1945. An interesting part of the Dept. of Nursing's scrapbook is the more casual correspondence such as greeting cards, personal notes, marriage and birth announcements, and Victory Mail (V-Mail). The greeting cards are addressed to the unit as well as to individuals. Some of the cards are hand painted. Samples of unused V-mail, intended to send holiday greetings (Mother's Day, Easter, and Christmas), are also included. Other loose items in the scrapbook include programs from amateur performances by the nurses and medical officers, concerts and religious services. The religious programs represent both Christian and Jewish faith observances at the 3rd General Hospital.

Other noteworthy scrapbook items include an original April 13, 1945 issue of Stars and Stripes announcing President Franklin D. Roosevelt's death. There are also various newsletters produced by and for the officers. These include issues of BBC News, Stethoscope 3rd General, and The Trooper. Several issues in this sampling are incomplete.

The bound pages of the scrapbook from the Alumnae Association of The Mount Sinai Hospital School of Nursing contains numerous keepsake items, mementos from various events, and personal and official correspondence to 1st Lt. Ruth Chamberlin, who served as Chief Nurse at the 3rd General Hospital.

In addition to this print material, the collection also includes an audio recording (VM_012) and printed transcript of The Story of Two Hospitals, as recorded by Robert St. John, an NBC war correspondent, in November 1943. There is also film footage related to the 3rd General Hospital that was taken by Dr. Henry Horn, a Mount Sinai staff member who was in the Unit. This includes footage from the Unit starting in North Africa and continuing through France, including a trip to Paris and the Follies Bergère. His wife later gave the film to the Hospital. All six reels of the film were digitized in 2005.

This collection consists primarily of correspondence, documents, photographs and memorabilia dating from Esther Winkler Shapiro’s service as a U.S. Army nurse on the Pacific front during the Second World War, with a smaller assortment of material dating from her time as a nursing student at The Mount Sinai Hospital School of Nursing. Memorabilia include a World War II Army Nurse Corps uniform and cap, a Japanese flag, and Mount Sinai Hospital School of Nursing caps. The collection include a shipboard newsletter from the U.S.S. Repose and a hospital newspaper from Thomas M. England General Hospital, locations where Shapiro served.

This collection consists primarily of artifacts and memorabilia from the collection of Gustave Levy which commemorate achievements in his financial career and his philanthropic efforts. It includes medals, certificates, paperweights, photographs and an assortment of other memorabilia. The majority of this material came to the Mount Sinai Archives from the Levy Library, where it was removed from display during the renovation of the Library in 2009. Additional material was received from the Development Office, where it had been in storage. The origin of each item has been noted in the container list. To ensure preservation, framed items have been removed from their frames and stored according to standard archival procedure. Of note is the fact that some of the framed items had Goldman, Sachs and Co. labels on the back, indicating that they had once hung in Mr. Levy's office there.

Levy, Gustave L. (Gustave Lehman)
US AA033 · Collection · 1933-1977

This collection consists of the correspondence and manuscripts of Dr. Harold T. Hyman, organized alphabetically in two boxes in a single series. Correspondence is filed by correspondent's surname, all other files by title or subject.
The highlight of Dr. Hyman's correspondence is an extensive collection of letters to and from Dr. Lawrence Kubie, a prominent New York psychoanalyst (Folder 1-27.) A series of letters from 1937 documents an acrimonious split between the two doctors in the wake of Dr. Hyman's 1936 lecture critical of psychoanalysis. By 1939, however, when Dr. Kubie was recruited to head Mount Sinai's Psychiatric Division (then part of the Department of Neurology), he and Dr. Hyman had reconciled. He shared updates on his progress in the reorganization of the department and copied Dr. Hyman on additional letters and manuscripts related to the project. Of particular note among these attachments is a long letter from Kubie to Dr. Frank Fremont-Smith of the Josiah Macy Foundation discussing his reorganization of the department and his attempt (with hypnotherapist Milton Erickson) to use Dr. Hyman's intravenous drip method to develop a "pharmacology of hypnosis." As Kubie struggled to implement his vision for the department, the correspondents shared their mutual frustration with the administration of Mount Sinai by lay trustees rather than medical professionals. Following Kubie's resignation from Mount Sinai in 1943, the two doctors continued to correspond on the relationship between psychoanalysis and physiology.
A file of correspondence with Waldemar Kaempffert, Science Editor of the New York Times (Folder 1-20), documents Dr. Hyman's efforts to publicize his research work. A collection of letters of congratulation regarding the success of the syphilis drip treatment (Folder 2-23) includes numerous letters from luminaries at Mount Sinai (including John Garlock and Bernard Sachs) as well as prominent friends and patients. Most other correspondence files are smaller, containing only one or two letters; of note are two letters (Folder 1-19) from Justine Johnstone (later Wanger), a former silent film actress who took up a second career in medicine and worked as Dr. Hyman's research assistant on the syphilis drip treatment project.
A series of files on Dr. Hyman's An Integrated Practice of Medicine (Folders 1-14 through 1-18) relate primarily to the promotion and reception of the book series, including an extensive collection of review clippings.
Folders 2-7 through 2-12 contain the manuscripts of Religio Medici, Hyman's work discussing the philosophy of medicine, science and religion. There is no single "final" copy of the manuscript, only chapter drafts in various stages of revision. The collection as received included at least one relatively complete manuscript identifiable by rubber-stamped page numbers as well as numerous additional drafts. The manuscripts have been arranged by chapter.
Some pages of Religio Medici were edited using scissors and scotch tape to revise and add text to the page contents. For preservation purposes, these pages were photocopied to archival paper. In cases where significant changes were made to the text, a copy of the "final" version has been kept alongside a copy of the "original" page with the additions removed; in cases of purely cosmetic changes (for example, moving a header relative to whitespace without changing to the content), only a copy of the final version was kept.
In addition to Religio Medici, the collection contains an assortment of autobiographical manuscripts (Folder 1-2), including what appears to be a fragment of a larger work that, unlike Religio Medici, is straightforwardly autobiographical and contains reflections on the specifically medical aspects of Dr. Hyman's career. Folder 2-5 contains a manuscript titled "Personality Gleanings and Vignettes from a Cosmopolitan Medical Practice," a list of brief notes (possibly an outline for a larger unfinished manuscript) which contains Dr. Hyman's unvarnished opinions of many of his contemporaries. Folders 1-5 through 1-10 contain the contents of numerous small envelopes that Dr. Hyman used as subject files to organize his notes and observations on particular subjects, apparently as part of the same autobiographical process that produced "Gleaning and Vignettes." These have been photocopied to archival paper and arranged alphabetically.

The papers found in this collection are overwhelmingly of a professional nature: notebooks, notes, papers, reprints. Still, it is possible in reviewing these files to get some insights into Dr. Rubin as a person. The records that serve best to do this are the letters written to him over the years (Box 1) and the photographs that came as a part of this collection. Also, interspersed with his notes (see, for instance Box 3, f.2), are sheets of paper filled with "jottings", lists of trite phrases that seemed to have some relationship, one to the next. In the file of his own writings (Box 1, f.8), further aspects of him can be seen in a note on ancestral worship, and a letter to his wife in 1921. Also of note here is a file compiled in 1935 during a failed attempt to secure Dr. Rubin a Nobel Prize for his development of the Rubin Test. (See Box 2, f.5)

The professional material contains notes and raw data, as well as papers in progress and his collected works. The notebooks include those from his medical school days at Columbia Physicians and Surgeons in 1904 and 1905, as well as notes taken while studying in Vienna. Some of the latter were written in German. The notebooks are arranged chronologically.

The Papers/Reprints files are arranged alphabetically by subject or title, depending on how Rubin labeled the folders. These papers are mostly all undated. The files many times contain long notes on the topic and show Rubin's thoughts and questions he wanted to solve. If no paper was included in the file with the notes, they were simply labeled "Notes" and filed under that heading.

Other items of particular interest or value in this collection include the typed copies of articles relating to fibroid tumors, dating from 1878-1932. (Box 1, f.3) There is a long note about a visit he made to Austria in the early 1920's where he discusses the changes brought by the First World War. (Box 1, f.8) Finally, there are operative assignments from 1911, listing which operations Dr. Rubin performed on a given day and his notes about the case. On these, and throughout the collection, there are many drawings to illustrate pathology or technique. Any patient information here is restricted according to the law and the policies of the Archives.

One of the more interesting parts of this collection is the photographs that accompany it. They date from 1907-1958, mostly black and white. Of special note are a series of snapshots from the Rubins' trip to Greece in June, 1952 to receive an honorary degree from the University of Athens. There is also a photograph of Dr. Rubin's private examining room in 1911. Dr. Hiram Vineberg is pictured in Mount Sinai's clinical amphitheatre in 1907, supervising an operation without surgical masks. There are also many photos of unidentified babies, usually with an inscription of thanks to Dr. Rubin.

Many of the photographs are oversize. These can be found in Box 7. The photographs of events, many in rolls, are stored in Box 6. Memorabilia, a Jacobi Medallion and two souvenir money clips, have been placed in Box 5.

Rubin, Isidor Clinton, 1883-1958
John H. Garlock, MD papers
US AA013 · Collection · 1915-1967

This small collection spans the career of Dr. Garlock: from medical school material, to ambulance duty logs from his internship at New York Hospital, photographs and some case reports on plastic surgery patients, private practice patient records, Operative Clinic presentations he made as Chief of Surgical Service at Mount Sinai, to the book on surgery of the alimentary tract that was published after his death.
While the range is wide, the records still only provide a surface picture of the man. The detailed notes and sometimes colorful drawings that Dr. Garlock created in medical school speak to his attention to detail. The early volumes are labeled "John Harry Garlock." He also noted a change of address on the notebooks from 346 W. 56th Street to 180 Claremont Avenue. This move happened during his medical school years.
His surgical acumen and style are brought out in the patient files and transcripts of the surgical clinics. The latter also give a glimpse into early plastic surgery at New York Hospital and The Mount Sinai Hospital. It was Dr. Garlock who helped establish plastic surgery as a surgical specialty here. The clinics were ended in January of 1943 for the duration of the War because there was a problem obtaining a sufficient number of orderlies.
Also instructive for insights into Dr. Garlock are the correspondence files, one with colleagues (Box 1, f.6) and the other with patients (Box 2, f.6). The ambulance log books in Box 1 show Dr. Garlock's keen eye for his surroundings and provide wonderful details on the people he treated and the treatments of the day.
Of note, too, is a series of letters Dr. William Hitzig wrote on behalf of Dr. Garlock when the latter was planning a trip to India. Dr. Hitzig had many connections there and wrote letters of introduction for the Garlocks. There is also a series of letters regarding a controversy between Drs. Sigmund Mage and Richard Lewisohn. (Box 1, f.9)
The patient records found here are only a portion of the files maintained by Dr. Garlock at his office. At his death, the records were divided among Dr. Garlock's junior colleagues. Many of those included here are the records of ileostomy and colostomy patients that were taken by Dr. Albert S. Lyons.
This collection contains some photographs, many of which are large and mounted. Thirteen posed publicity photos of unknown musicians and dancers were removed and sent to the Lincoln Center Archives for inclusion in their collections.

The Lita Annenberg Hazen Award and Fellowship Grant was established in 1978 to encourage and reward excellence in clinical research. It was created from a gift from Lita A. Hazen (1909 - 1994). Mrs. Hazen was a philanthropist and Mount Sinai trustee whose family was involved with Mount Sinai since the founding of the School of Medicine. The $100,000 award was presented annually to a physician and a research fellow to use in the continuation of their investigative work. The award lost Hazen sponsorship and was terminated in 1987. Between the years of 1978 - 1987, thirteen doctors (listed below) received the $100,000 prize, which was shared equally with the research fellow of their choice. The winners were: Jesse Roth - 1979; Henry G. Kunkel - 1980; Aaron B. Lerner - 1981; Michael S. Brown and Joseph L. Goldstein - 1982; Robert J. Lefkowitz - 1983; Yuet Wai Kan - 1984; Hugh O'Neill McDevitt - 1985; and Jean D. Wilson - 1986.
The Hazen Award drew nominations for doctors from various medical specialties around the world. The award attracted noteworthy candidates with distinguished careers in clinical research. Two Hazen Award winners, Drs. Michael S. Brown and Joseph L. Goldstein, went on to jointly win the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1985 "for their discoveries concerning the regulation of cholesterol metabolism."
Award winners were determined by evaluation by an Award Committee, which judged each nominee's work based on scientific significance and peer determined quality of research. The Award Committee was comprised of physicians representing various medical specialties. The members met semi-annually to discuss, score and rank nominees to determine the winner. Members were volunteers, typically appointed for three-year terms. Winners received their prize at a presentation event held in New York City with a symposium at Mount Sinai.
The Appointment Committee was comprised of physician volunteers who met semi-annually to identify physicians to invite to participate on the Award Committee. Candidates for the Award Committee were selected based upon their expertise in a particular medical specialty. There was one permanent staff member, Myrna Turkewitz.
The Administrative series contains documents pertaining to the various aspects of planning the awards events. This includes documentation of the Award and Appointment Committees' activities, memos and letters to the committee members, and event planning.
The Award Recipient series contains information about the winners. This includes nomination forms, supporting documents and correspondence between the winners and Mount Sinai administrators. This series also includes the winners' published peer-reviewed journal articles and research updates.
One strength of this collection is the descriptions of systems-based practice in clinical research, article clippings about and by the award winners. The administrative records also provide somewhat of a blueprint for launching and executing a major awards event.
The collection includes audio cassette recordings of the 1979, 1980, 1985 and 1986 award events. These cassettes have been added to the Mount Sinai Archives AV Collection and digitized to make them available for use. Note: the first of the two 1979 cassettes is physically damaged and could not be digitized.

US AA149 · Collection · 1895 - 2016

This small collection has five series: School of Nursing records, the Alumnae Association records, Alumnae Papers, Artifacts and Photographs. The School of Nursing series is 14 folders of basic information about the School, the highlights of which are the annual announcements catalogs (folders 2-5) outlining the entrance requirements and the curriculum, and the Triennium, the class yearbooks for 1951, 1952, 1955, 1957, 1968, 1973, and 1974. The proposal by the New York Infant Asylum to provide obstetric training is also of note as it provides a detailed list of areas of instruction for 1895 (folder 9). Student transcripts from 1941-1974 are also included in this collection; please see note under that series for details.

Significant records in The Alumnae Association series are the annual reports for the Association and a nearly complete run of the Association’s Bulletin, providing news of its members and of the Hospital. (Note that a number of annual reports are published in particular Bulletin issues, which are clearly noted in the container list. Also note that an appendix listing all of the Bulletins in the collection, along with a list of all the directresses, can be found at https://archives.mssm.edu/downloads/aa149.pdf) Also of significance are the three volumes of Alumnae Rosters, the first of which contains a short history of the School. These books and the two volumes of the Alumnae Association annual reports are behind all the folders in box 2. Photographs of Alumnae are also included in the collection; however, they are filed in the larger St. Luke’s Hospital series of the Photograph Collection. A scrapbook of snap shots of student nurses around 1953-1955 is also found in the artifacts.

The Alumnae Papers consists of materials donated by the School’s graduates and may include bulletins, pamphlets, yearbooks, artifacts such as uniforms or graduate pins, invitations and other materials. This series is arranged by donation date.

Artifacts include a complete student nurse’s uniform, with its distinctive wool cape and the School's graduate pin.
