Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The collection contains correspondence, personal papers, addresses,
and writings, 1926-1967, of Max B. Lurie, documenting his life,
professional career, and research into genetic resistance to
tuberculosis.
Lurie's professional correspondence, 1928-1966, is preserved in Series 1. Principal correspondents are Lurie's colleagues or collaborators in tuberculosis research, many of them associated with the Henry Phipps Institute of the University of Pennsylvania, including Samuel Abramson, Marvin J. Allison, Arthur M. Dannenberg, Jr., A. G. Heppleston, Hsiu Sheng Hsu, Esmond R. Long, Valy Menkin, Stuart Mudd, Eugene L. Opie, Max Pinner, Sidney Raffel, Paul B. Sawin, Abram B. Stavitsky, Emanuel Suter, Charles Weiss, and Peter Zappasodi. The subjects of the correspondence are Lurie's research and career at the Henry Phipps Institute, particularly his work with a rabbit colony bred to demonstrate inherited and innate resistance to tuberculosis; his published writings; evaluations and recommendations of student assistants; information concerning the exchange of tubercle bacilli strains between laboratories for research; and funding for Lurie's research and projects.
Series 1 also contains correspondence, 1935-1959, from Emanuel Gamoran, Lurie's brother in law, who was Director of the Department of Education of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, and Lurie's correspondence, 1940-1956, with the General Electric Company, describing his work on the sterilization of air using ultraviolet light.
Lurie's personal papers, 1926-1967, are contained in Series 2. The series includes correspondence containing biographical and genealogical information; evaluations of his physical condition, including Lurie's own record of his observations of prothrombin; a typescript biography, circa 1958, by Dianne Epstein; and three photographs of Lurie taken by his colleague Peter Zappasodi in 1952.
Series 3 contains typescripts of three of Lurie's addresses concerning his work with resistance to tuberculosis, 1952-1960. Typescript and holograph manuscripts of several of Lurie's published articles, 1946-1965, including drafts of a paper describing his work with the rabbit colony at the Phipps Institute, along with related correspondence, bibliographies, andjbook reviews, are preserved in Series 4.
