This series is chronological but has certain subject matter also found in Series 3 and the Dean’s correspondence for Shaffer's tenure as Dean. For example, much material is on Shaffer's work with the Department of Biological Chemistry and with the Executive Faculty when he was Dean. Included are documents on proposed departments or programs such as Neuropsychiatry (1937) and the Physiological Institute (1942). The Barnes Hospital-Medical School controversy (1936-1937) was resolved by means of a Barnes Hospital Committee (1937). Included are documents relating to a failed challenge to the policy of full time appointment in clinical departments (1943-1945). Resulting from that challenge was a report to the Executive Faculty on planning for the post-war years and an innovation called "group practice" (1944-1945). Folder 1, for example, solely concerns plans for the new buildings at the Department of Medicine in 1910, but other correspondence on the physical plant and reorganization of the old Medical Department is found throughout Folders 2-5. The 1957 letter from Linus Pauling concerns a petition to halt nuclear testing in the atmosphere that Shaffer signed.
