Annual Report, St. Louis Children's Hospital, 1879-2010.

Issues in this sub-series have been split into separate folders. Those folders span Box 1: Folders 8-24, Box 2: Folders 1-19, Box 3: Folders 1-10, Box 4: Folders 1-15, Box 5: Folders 1-8, Box 6: Folders 1-3, and Box 7: Folder 1.

The Annual Report for 1988 (not included in this sub-series) is located in Box 132, Folder 16.

Personal Photographs, 1892-1997, undated.

This sub-series contains family and personal photographs. Photographs of note include several snapshots of Dr. Bain, her longtime friend and housemate Christine Glass, and the house Dr. Bain and Ms. Glass owned at 2710 Quebec Street NW, Washington D.C. Folders titles are descriptive and were assigned by the archivist.

Studio Portraits of Katherine Bain, circa 1900-1970.

This sub-series includes studio portraits of Dr. Bain. The portraits were separated from other printed photographs into their own sub-series and arranged chronologically. Folders titles are descriptive and were assigned by the archivist.

Professional Photographs, 1925-1993, undated.

This sub-series includes photographs relating to Dr. Bain’s professional work, largely related to her work and travels with the Children’s Bureau and UNICEF. Of note are photographs of Dr. Bain as an intern at San Francisco Children’s Hospital in 1925 (Box 4, folders 74 and 75) and an undated photograph of Dr. Bain at a meeting at the United Nations (Box 4, folder 92).

Also of note is a snapshot of Dr. Bain with Christine Glass, Dr. Bain’s longtime friend and housemate, in Italy in 1962 (Box 4, folder 80).

Folders titles are descriptive and were assigned by the archivist.

Published Papers, 1949-1996.

This sub-series contains reprints and copies of papers published by Jessie Ternberg. Also included are some article drafts and related correspondence.

Publications, Lectures, and Related Records, 1950-1995, undated.

This sub-series primarily includes draft articles and scripts for lectures. Of note are Dr. Ternberg’s dissertation, “Biochemical Studies on Hemopoietic Agents” (1950) and remarks Dr. Ternberg gave at a dinner marking the 75th anniversary of the first admission of women students to Washington University School of Medicine (1993).

The series also contains scripts, research notes, and related patient records for a presentation given in 1993 titled “Second Malignancies following Pelvic Radiation for Childhood Malignancies.”

Manuscripts and Drafts, 1953-2004.

In addition to manuscripts and drafts, some folders contain related correspondence and materials about a conference at which a paper was presented. Corresponding reprints are noted.

Clippings, 1955-2001.

Sub-Series 3 contains news clippings related to Jerome R. Cox, Jr., and his professional activities, such as bringing the LINC development team to Washington University, securing grant funding for the Washington University Computer Laboratories (WUCL) and other research activities, his appointment to the NIH National Advisory Research Resources Committee, coverage of speeches and public events, and a trip to Caracas, Venezuela.

Negatives, 1956-1973.

The majority of Sub-Series 1 comprises contact sheets with corresponding sleeves of negatives. "WAC" followed by the letters "A" through "J," and "L," has been written on the back of the contact sheets; a sheet with " WAC K" does not appear to be present. WAC likely refers to Wesley A. Clark. Most, though not all, of the contact sheets are stamped with "Photograph by Fred Krughoff." Fred Krughoff graduated with an MFA from the Washington University School of Art in 1972.

Additional negatives in this sub-series are related to macromodular system components, a series of chest x-rays, and what appears to be auditory analyses.

Asynchronous Computing, 1958-2007.

Materials in this sub-series encompass roughly two periods. The Computer Systems Laboratory's (CSL) work on macromodular computer systems design, led by Wesley A. Clark and Charles E. Molnar, was a forerunner of the research on asynchronous, or clockless, computing undertaken by Jerome R. Cox, Jr., in the 2000s. The issue of metastability failure--that is, data arriving out of sync with a computer clock--was known to result in a "glitch" as early as 1965, a problem tackled by CSL staff members Severo Ornstein, Mishell Stucki, and Thomas Chaney in the 1960s and 1970s, and by Molnar in the 1980s and 1990s. Some of the materials collected here relate to this history of metastability research.

Cox began to revisit asynchronous computing research after a symposium held at Washington University on March 26, 2004. The "Clockless Computing: Coordinating Billions of Transistors" symposium was part of events commemorating the 150th anniversary of the University's founding. It also coincided with the 30th anniversary of the completion of the CSL project on Macromodule Computer Design. This renewed research resulted in several patent applications and led Cox and several colleagues to establish Blendics, LLC, in 2007.

Personal 35mm Photographic Slides, 1959-1968, undated.

This sub-series contains family and personal photographs. Photographs of note several snapshots of of Dr. Bain, her longtime friend and housemate Christine Glass, and the house Dr. Bain and Ms. Glass owned at 2710 Quebec Street NW, Washington D.C. Folders titles are descriptive and were assigned by the archivist.
