This series pertains mainly to the second edition, published in 1963, with consideration given to reviews of the first.

Series 27 is notable for the prominent reemergence of items documenting EVC's ties to China, albeit the pre-Communist China in exile or associated with the Nationalist government on Taiwan

Series 28 documents EVC's continued and remarkably vigorous efforts to maintain contacts with scientists in his fields of interest around the world. In those years he traveled extensively, including visits to Japan, Russia, Portugal, and Taiwan.

In early 1969 EVC was approached by the Cancer Control Foundation of North Hollywood, California and the related Cancer Control Center, said to be developing a self-administered cancer test for women. EVC was initially interested in these enterprises, and particularly about the prospect of becoming a paid consultant. Later, after checking with trusted colleagues, who informed him that Cancer Control's claims were dubious, he broke off negotiations and returned money that he had already received.

The year in which these files were compiled witnessed a marked deterioration in EVC's health and the death of his wife, Alice. Much of the correspondence and other documents relate to his feeling compelled to acknowledge the end of career activities and relationships

Aging better (1972) is EVC's last major publication. It is basically a textbook of scientific information compiled for the benefit of various kinds of health professionals who care for senior citizens. But the work also contains reflections on cultural and philosophical aspects of aging and death that carry with them that bear the stamp of EVC's own beliefs. As for Care of the geriatric patient, the files here continue what was left off in Series 23

Barnard Free Skin and Cancer Hospital was an independent specialty clinic founded in 1905 and supported by local philanthropy. Cancer research was a relatively minor function until 1939, when EVC was appointed research director, an event coinciding with his own primary career interest. EVC succeeded in acquiring federal grants for Barnard, which led to differences with the hospital management over how the income should be used. EVC resigned as research director in 1948, but not before setting events in motion leading to the moving of the hospital and merger with Washington University. A legal challenge delayed this process, but by 1952 the authorization to relocate Barnard adjacent to Barnes Hospital had been secured.

The files correspond to the last of EVC's Rockefeller-funded excursions to Africa through his return to St. Louis from temporary service as chair of the Division of Medical Sciences of the National Research Council in Washington, DC (1931).

This series documents the time when EVC left the Rockefeller Institute and joined the faculty of Washington University School of Medicine as head of Cytology.

Series 50 covers the period when EVC was on leave from Washington University to serve as chairman of the division of medical sciences of the National Research Council in Washington, D. C. He hired Robert R. Bensley, his former professor from the University of Chicago, to teach cytology courses in his place.

The files in this series relate to the courses that EVC taught in the 1930s and early 1940s in histology and neurology (later designated neuroanatomy). They contain notices, schedules, outlines, class rosters, examination questions, etc. Indications of performance by particular students are confidential and may not be cited or photocopied.

This series amounts to a varied collection of documentary "snapshots" of academic life in the depth of the Great Depression. Domestic alcohol prohibition was still the law of the land (hence the reports); trained scientists clamored for jobs and project funds; budgets overall were lean. As the Trachoma Committee indicates, EVC was looked to for his experience in winning foundation support for research as much as for his scientific expertise.

This is a fragment of a larger alphabetically-arranged series from the "crawl space" discovery of 1990 (91-007). Most of the files ahead of the letter R were destroyed or so badly deteriorated that they could not be added to the collection

This is a complete list of EVC's publications. With respect to the actual copies of his short scientific publications and essays that are in this archival collection, the list for the most part corresponds to the contents of four bound reprint volumes containing work through 1965. The volumes do not exactly match the order of the list, but roughly the dates covered in each are: vol. 1, 1911-1924; vol. 2, 1924-1933; vol. 3, 1933-1942; vol. 4, 1942-1965. Maintained with them are two variant "vol. ones" and several files of reprints that are missing from the set. Listed here as well are various editions of EVC's monographs and the scientific compilations edited and published as books (e.g., General cytology). Most (but not all) of the book-length publications are in the collections of the Becker Medical Library. The series as a whole is not microfilmed.
