Title: The Amazing Adventures of Wilburt C. Davison, Wilder G. Penfield, and Emile F. Holman While Rhodes Scholars in Medicine at Oxford During World War I, 1913–1917
Abstract: WILBURT CORNELL DAVISON, founder and first Dean of the Duke University Medical School; Wilder Graves Penfield, noted neurosurgeon, founder and first Director of the Montreal Neurological Institute of McGill University; and Emile Frederic Holman, noted vascular surgeon and long-time chairman of the Department of Surgery at Stanford University, were Rhodes Scholars and medical students together at Oxford during the early years of World War I (Fig. 1). Probably few, if any, students since have had such exciting adventures or been so actively involved while in medical school in so many of the major historical events of their time.
