Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The Leidy family papers consist of two discrete collections, including lecture and admission cards, correspondence, and newsclippings.
The first collection of Leidy family material, MSS 2/155-01, contains lecture admission cards and related material, 1830-1866, from the medical educations of Napoleon B. Leidy and Philip Leidy at the University of Pennsylvania and the pharmaceutical education of Thomas Leidy at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. The series includes several cards for postgraduate courses taken by Philip Leidy at the University.
Lecturers at the University of Pennsylvania include: Joseph Carson, Nathaniel Chapman, John Redman Coxe, William Gibson, Robert Hare, Hugh L. Hodge, William E. Horner, Samuel Jackson, Thomas C. James, Joseph Leidy, Philip Syng Physick, Robert E. Rogers, Henry H. Smith, and George Bacon Wood.
Lecturers at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy are Joseph Carson and Robert Bridges.
The second collection of Leidy family papers, MSS 2/155-02, contains correspondence and newsclippings concerning Joseph Leidy, Joseph Leidy II, and other members of the family.
The first series in this collection contains letters received, primarily 1881-1886, of naturalist Joseph Leidy. Major correspondents are: Albert Fricke, S. H. Linn, H. G. Tombler, H. D. Walker, and Joseph Willcox. The letters concern anatomy, fossils, mineralogy, natural history and Leidy's financial affairs; many items describe and convey specimens to Leidy for his examination, identification, and consideration.
Items collected by or relating to Joseph Leidy II are preserved in Series 2. The series includes an anonymous statement defending Leidy from accusations of neglectful conduct while in residence at Pennsylvania Hospital, circa 1888, two letters, and photocopies of Leidy's personal scrapbook, 1891-1917, and his files of newsclippings concerning the Leidy family, 1890-1933, and items of interest, primarily relating to Darwin's theory of evolution, World War I, gas warfare, and military training for young men, 1877-1932.
