Behind the scenes in the origin of the Harvey Cushing Society, now known as the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, there were many interesting political factors occurring, which appeared in correspondence and were preserved and later forwarded by William P. Van Wagenen to the Harvey Cushing Section of the Yale Medical Library. This correspondence, circa 1931, provides an interesting account of the aspirations of young neurosurgeons who wished to gain societal status, without offending the giants of the Society of Neurological Surgeons.
在如今被称为美国神经外科医师协会的哈维·库欣学会创立的背后，曾出现过许多有趣的政治因素，这些因素呈现在信件中，并被保存下来，后来由威廉·P·范瓦根en转交给耶鲁大学医学图书馆的哈维·库欣分馆。这批大约于1931年的信件，有趣地记述了年轻神经外科医生们既希望获得社会地位，又不冒犯神经外科医师协会巨头们的抱负。
