The American Tropics


Corlett, William Thomas, The American Tropics, Cleveland: The Burrows Brothers Co., 1908.(signed by the author and dated January 8, 1910)

Available online.

William Thomas Corlett was born in Orange, Ohio and educated at Oberlin College from 1870 to 1873. He studied medicine at the medical department of the University of Wooster (forerunner of the College of Wooster), graduating in 1877. After teaching at Wooster for two years he traveled to London and Paris to study skin diseases and later become a Fellow of the London Royal College of Physicians. Corlett returned to Cleveland in 1882 and was appointed lecturer, then Professor of Skin and Genitourinary Diseases at Wooster in 1884.


Note from Dale - I can only speculate that my father may have obtained this book from someone he knew or studied with in Oberlin College.
