Series 4: Articles, lectures and other professional papers
Collection Summary
Collection consists chiefly of general correspondence relating to individuals as well as to organizations, the latter consisting of associations, societies, foundations, conferences and congresses, and clubs. The motion picture reels contain short segments with Leake and Joe Harper, apparently taped for an Ohio television station. Each interview appears to be part of a general science and medicine series featuring Leake. In each segment Leake expounds on a recent medical or scientific discovery or news item that would be relevant to a general audience.
Among the correspondents are Reinhard Beutner, Walter Bierring, Ralph Bowen, A. J. Carlson, George Crosby, Norman David, Wilburt Davison, Charles Doan, Cyrus Eaton, Fritz Eichholtz, Herbert Evans, Frank Fremont-Smith, Otto Guttentag, Molly Harrower, Dwight Ingle, Thomas Keys, Lawrence Kubie, Ralph Major, Walter Meek, M. F. Ashley Montague, Alton Ochsner, Robert Oppenheimer, Linus Pauling, Michael Shimkin, Richard Shryock, Henry Sigerist, Janet Travell, and Maurice Visscher.
