Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The collection contains a series of 74 brief essays on an array
of subjects, 1841-1848, with a few related letters and testimonials,
from physicians applying to the Board of Naval Surgeons, for
entrance into or promotion in the U.S. Navy. The Board appears
to have been convened at the U.S. Naval Asylum in Philadelphia
and Surgeon John A. Kearney was its president. Many of the
applicants were graduates of the Medical Department of the University
of Pennsylvania. The collection conveys the nature of the essay
phase of the naval examination process and identifies many 19th
century physicians who entered the U.S. Navy.
