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."
