William Osler (1849-1919) is widely regarded as one of the most
influential physicians of the late 19th and early 20th century and
a key figure in the history of medicine. Besides his research
activities and his dedicated scientific work, Osler's greatest
contribution to the medical world has been the system of residency
which he developed at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, thus
introducing a new and deeply humanistic approach to the strictly
scientific realm of traditional medicine. Harvey Cushing
(1869-1939), a former student and close friend of Osler's and a
pioneer of neurosurgery, has himself become an icon of modern
medicine. He was one of the first physicians to use X-rays for
diagnosing brain tumours and he developed revolutionary methods of
blood pressure measurement. He also discovered Cushing's syndrome,
the first autoimmune disease identified in a human being. This
monumental biography earned him the Pulitzer Prize in 1926.

Die Wahl Berns zum Kongressort bedeutete fur mich eine besondere
Genug tuung, denn in dieser schonen Stadt erlebte ich zur Zeit der
Jahrhundertwende eine uberaus ergiebige und erfreuliche Periode
meiner medizinischen Ausbildung 30m Inselspital und Hallerianum.
Professor KOCHER war damals mit der Samm lung von Material
beschaftigt fur seinen Abschnitt "Hirndruck" und damit verwandte
Probleme in NOTHNAGELS "Spezieller Pathologie" und wollte die
Wirkung erhohten intrakraniellen Dru-ckes auf die venose
Zirkulation des Gehirns erforschen. Er machte mir den Vorschlag,
einige diesbezugliche Experi mente auszufuhren, und meinte, dies
geschehe am besten im physiologischen Institute. Es konnte einem
wandernden Studenten vor 30 Jahren kaum ein geeigneterer Platz
zufallen, um den wissenschaftlichen Geist und die anspornen den
Traditionen eines europaischen Laboratoriums in sich aufzunehmen.
Der Arbeit jenes Winters und den Anregungen HUGO KRONECKERS und
LEON ASHERS, der damals dessen Assistent war und heute sein
Nachfolger ist, ver danke ich vor allem mein Interesse an der
experimentellen Pathologie des Nervensystems und es formte sich in
mir der Entschluss, mich der Chirurgie dieses Spezialgebietes
zuzuwenden, falls sich eine Gelegenheit dazu bieten wurde. Der
Enthusiasmus der Neunzigerjahre uber die ersten Operationen von
Gehirngeschwulsten war damals (1900-1901) geschwunden und tiefe Ent
tauschung hatte sich verbreitet. Die pessimistische Auffassung VON
BERGMANNS wurde von den meisten Chirurgen vertreten; selbst
HORSLEY, ein geborener Optimist, hatte die neurologischen Kollegen
durch seine Resultate nicht zu uberzeugen vermocht. Sie uberwiesen
ihm ihre Tumorfalle nur mit Zogern, gleichsam als letzten Ausweg."
