One influence Osier had on Cushing was to stimulate the latter's interest in book collecting. Throughout his career Cushing accumulated an extensive personal library of historical medicine. He bequeathed his library to Yale and persuaded some of his friends to do likewise, thus providing for the establishment of the Historical Library at the new Yale Medical Library in June 1941.
