Dr. Harvey William Cushing: (1869-1939)
"Dr. Harvey Cushing-- 1869 to 1939–
Was so great a neurosurgeon
That his professional colleagues first called themselves
The Harvey Cushing Society
But later adopted the more formal name
Of American Association of Neurosurgeons
And at the same time instituted the Harvey Cushing
As the principal address of their annual congress Oration
And though I am neither a neurosurgeon
Nor a professional of any discipline
An aberration of fate brought me the honor of delivering
‘The 1967 Harvey Cushing Oration’
To two thousand of their members
At their annual meeting in Chicago."
