Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The Evelyn Cook Bauerle papers on Benjamin Gruskin date from 1931 and 1951 and represent some of the work done by Benjamin Guskin during the 1930s and 1940s in cancer research. Included in the collection is correspondence between Bauerle and F. B. Hubacheck, President of the Lakeland Foundation; and Bauerle and W. M. Helms, also of the Lakeland Foundation, regarding Bauerle’s visit to the lab in Rockford, Illinois in July 1949, in order to assist with Gruskin’s techniques in creating antigens and serums. A report, likely written by Robert Pagel of the Midwest Extraction Company, and dating to circa 1949, details Gruskin’s methods, although it is unclear whether this was written before or after Bauerle’s visit to the lab. One will also find several reprints of articles written by Gruskin, or by others referencing his work, in this collection. Researchers interested in women working in STEM fields during the first half of the 20th century may find Bauerle’s correspondence especially interesting.
