Strauss Library in the fall with 100 years of service text

Strauss Health Sciences Library is celebrating 100 years of service this year! It all started in 1924 when Mrs. Ella Strong Denison donated funds for “The Charles Denison, M.D., Memorial Library”, the rest, as they say, is history.

Periodically the Strauss Library's Web Team will make changes to the library's website. On Friday, September 20th we will be making a change to the website's homepage. 

Medical artifacts including a cystoscope, pill roller, Lindsay style ophthalmoscope, McKenzie polygraph machine, sputum flask, atomizer, and an articulator.

Over the years, thanks to the generosity of our donors, the Strauss Health Sciences Library has received numerous donations of historical medical artifacts. Occasionally, these items arrive without clear descriptions of their purpose or use, necessitating some investigative work. Many of our contemporary medical devices have evolved from these earlier artifacts, and while some designs exhibit recognizable similarities, others do not.
