Excerpts from the above biography:
William Sydney Thayer, of Baltimore, died suddenly on December 10, 1932, of coronary artery disease. In him the profession loses a most eminent teacher and consultant, one whose intimate association with Osler gave him an interest in Canada and whose own work made him well known to Canadians.
He was educated at Harvard, graduating A.B. in 1885 and M.D. in 1889, and, after an internship at the Massachusetts General Hospital, he joined Osler's staff as assistant resident physician in 1890 at the recently founded Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Thayer 's chief published works are "The Malarial Fevers of Baltimore," 1895 (in collaboration with the lamented John Hewetson, of Montreal)
