Dr. Herman Schlundt,
University of lissouri,
Room 110 New Chemistry Bldg.,
Columbia, Mo.
Dear Dr. Schlundt:
A Dr. Henry A. Barrett called at our office this morning
and impressed ne as a man thoroughly trained in radiology. He is a man
around 35 years old, a. Canadian by birth, and M.D. from the McCill University,
and also a Master of Surgery from McGill.
Dr. Barrett practiced medicine in Montreal for e time, and
subsequently went to England where he has had experience in the Radium
Institute of London - He completed a course of radiology at Cambridge, and
spent considerable time at Stockholm in the radium center there. He is quite
enthusiastic about the use of radium, and believes that Stockholm has the best
equipped center that he has spent any time at.
Dr. Barrett is at present seeking a connection, and it
occurred to me that there might be a remobe possibility that the University
of Missouri might be interested in a man of this type, to eventually assume
charge of their rediological department when they have established their
radium center in connection with their medical school.
has a
Dr. Barrett is a clean cut man, and/rather pleasing as
well as forceful personality, and apparently is well grounded in the physics
of radiology. He feels that a great deal of harm has been done by the use
of radium by allowing it to be placed in the hands of surgeons rather than
in the hands of men basically trained in the physics of radium.
Dr. Barrett was married during his stay in Stockholm, and
has two children. I assune that his family are still in Stockholm, and when
he succeeds in locating hopes to bring them to this side.
I advised Dr. Barrett to write to you directly, and believe
that if we can do anything to help this man in becomming located that we
will be rendering a real service to the development of radium treatment in
this country. A man of this caliber would be a fine addition to the
Medical School of the University of Missouri.
Sincerely yours,
HHBarker: RH
