DESCRIPTION:RSVP to osler.library [at] mcgill.ca by April 14\nDear Friends\
 ,\nOn Saturday\, April 18th from 11 am to 1 pm the Osler Library of the Hi
 story of Medicine will be holding a special celebration commemorating seve
 ral of its builders and benefactors.\nDr. William Feindel\, (1918-2014)\, 
 Honourary Osler Librarian\, will be honoured with the unveiling of a very 
 significant acquisition by the library: a very rare collection of five lif
 e-sized anatomical illustrations painted on silk. These were produced in F
 rance in the 17th century and used by the French anatomist and medical pro
 fessor Dr. Amé Bourdon to illustrate his lectures and his 1678 anatomical 
 atlas. This addition to the library’s rich anatomical collection seems a f
 itting tribute to Dr. Feindel’s memory\, who\, like Osler himself\, epitom
 ised someone whose appreciation of the past nurtured his vision for the fu
 ture.\nWe will also be recognising the generosity of the Class of ‘61 whos
 e class gift supported the publication of a facsimile edition of the Herba
 l of al-Ghafiqi\, one of the rarest items in the Osler Library\, and the C
 lass of ‘82\, whose generosity has allowed the library to build its endowm
 ent and has made a number of important acquisitions possible.\nWe will als
 o be celebrating the achievements of Dr. W. W. Francis and the generosity 
 of his decedents. Dr. Francis’ life-long devotion to Osler and the Osler L
 ibrary has been replicated by his family\, who recently donated a number o
 f important Oslerian books and papers to the library. We will also be reme
 mbering Dr. Joseph Stratford and Dr. Edward H. Bensley\, two men whose leg
 acies were recognised recently by important donations to the\n	library.\nWe
  very much hope you can join us\, and we welcome you to invite others who 
 may be interested in attending as well. For more information contact Chris
  Lyons at christopher.lyons [at] mcgill.ca or 514-707-2108.\n
