Harry Bakwin—Some early memories

[摘要] In the 1930s Charles Hendee Smith was Professor of Pediatrics at Bellevue Hospital. He must have possessed a streak of Anglophilism, for he went out of his way to welcome men from overseas to his Department and a succession of young men from England and Scotland thus came to work there. Ronnie MacKeith was the first; he was followed by Louis Findlay, through whom I came to know of this opening. My own arrival in 1939 at the Bellevue coincided with the start of the war, which however was in that curiously quiescent phase of the "phoney war" which lasted from the lightening defeat of Poland until the fighting in Western Europe started up in earnest in April 1940 when I returned to England.
