Some of the notebooks belonged to men who would become faculty members at UVa. Those include Armistead Page Booker who was Clinical Instructor in Pediatrics in 1947 and retired from his position of Associate Professor in 1985; William Beverly Towles who became an instructor in anatomy in the 1872-73 session and became Professor of Anatomy and Materia Medica, serving in that position until his death in 1893; Charles Bruce Morton who is listed as the Professor of Clinical Surgery and Gynecology in the "University of Virginia Record" for 1944-45 and was last listed in the "University of Virginia School of Medicine Record" for 1969-70; and Oscar Swineford was listed as an instructor in Medicine in the "University of Virginia Record" of March 15, 1928 and was last listed as a Professor of Internal Medicine in the 1966-67 "University of Virginia Record."
