Summary

Evelyn Matthews Cook Bauerle was born in 1910 in Rahway Union, New Jersey. She graduated from Ursinus College in 1930, majoring in chemistry and biology, and assisted Benjamin Gruskin in setting up his new research lab at Temple Medical School, running most of tests summarized in Gruskin’s published articles. She remained there until 1939. Bauerle died in 2002 in York, Pennsylvania. Benjamin Gruskin was born in 1878 in either Lithuania or Russia (accounts vary). He graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 1909, the Chicago College of Medicine and Surgery in 1910, and did a post-graduate course at the New York Post-Graduate Hospital and College. By 1930, he was working in a new lab at Temple Medical School. Gruskin’s research at Temple focused on serological and intradermal tests for carcinoma and sarcoma, and intradermal tests for pregnancy and tuberculosis. Gruskin’s later research included the possibility of antiseptic and deodorizing properties of chlorphyll. In 1950, Gruskin died near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Evelyn Cook Bauerle papers on Benjamin Gruskin date from 1931 and 1951 and represent some of the work done by Benjamin Guskin during the 1930s and 1940s in cancer research. Researchers interested in women working in STEM fields during the first half of the 20th century may find Bauerle’s correspondence especially interesting
