G. W. H. Schepers, A Synopsis of the History of the Saranac Laboratory (1954)

A six-page history of the Saranac Laboratory dated August 13, 1954, by its director, Dr. G. W. H. Schepers. It traces the laboratory from Dr. Edward L. Trudeau's tuberculosis work in 1885, lists its directors (Leroy Gardner, 1927-1946, and Arthur J. Vorwald, 1947-1953, among them), and describes how the study of dust diseases became "its more important branch of study." It mentions silicosis, aluminum and iron studies, beryllium and the laboratory's current interest in carcinogenesis, but not asbestos by name.
