Surrounding Osler and reflecting his wide impact are images of North Carolina connections to Osler. The upper part of the page presents icons of two major North Carolina educational institutions. On the left is the “Old Well”, serving originally as the main source of water for the few early students of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill in 1795, and a symbol of the university. On the right is the famous Duke Chapel, part of the splendid Gothic campus complex of Duke University in Durham. The lower part of the page is devoted to the two main personal relationships between Osler and these two universities.

He spent the summer of 1904 working in the wards and clinics with Sir William in Baltimore. On the right is Wilburt C. Davison MD, first Dean at the Duke University School of Medicine. He knew Osler from his time at Oxford as a Rhodes scholar during World War I.
