Health Sciences Medical student notes and papers from the early 19th century through the mid-20th century yield valuable information about the practice of medicine during this period. These papers include the work of twenty-three students including Albin Gilpin (Alban Goldsmith) Smith's 1821 notes made as a private student of Parrish (Philadelphia Alms House Hospital) on various subjects. Smith was a Kentucky surgeon and key figure in securing a charter for the Louisville Medical Institute in 1833. Among other early notes are the 1802 to 1809 leather bound notes on classes at L'ecole de medecine de Paris and formularies by an unknown student, 1811 graduate William S. Coxe's bound notes taken on surgery and venereal disease at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, George B. Calvert's 1841 to 1842 notes from Louisville Medical Institute, Elisha Metcalf's 1848 lecture notes, and David C. Pusey's student diary of life at the University of Louisville from 1853. Among notes from later in the 19th century are Meriwether Lewis' 1871-1872 indexed notes on lectures at Louisville Medical College, Augustine Rue Booth's history and analysis of 1873 yellow fever epidemic in Shreveport, Louisiana, with a map showing the distribution of cases and tables, and Samuel A. Bowles' student notes in 1883 on two pocket notebooks covering lectures by nine faculty members of the Kentucky School of Medicine. Lunsford P. Yandell's personality, methods, and opinions are captured in several groups of notes winning an annual prize for the best notes on his lectures. Felix Coblens was 1874-1875 winner. Albert A. Marrett's verbatim notes are indexed. Also present are Cyril P. Kirley's student 1874 leather-bound notebook, on topics of asthma, Bright's Disease, emphysema, gonorrheal rheumatism, heart disease, rheumatism, pneumonia, and sciatica. Among later compilations of notes are Earl C. Jensen's eight bound volumes of class lecture and laboratory notes from 1926 to 1929 and a series of notes from Blanche Johnson, a ca. 1929 graduate from the Louisville General Hospital School of Nursing.
