Haviland (d. 1986) in the late 1930s was the museum curator at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy. In the 1950s he was the curator at the Wistar Institute; after his death it was discovered that he had relieved that Institute of items that were later found in his storage unit. He also taught a course in veterinary history beginning in 1960 at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, where in 1973 he became Associate Professor of Anatomy. In Very Good Condition: ends of spine and corners rubbed; small ding in center of spine; late 20th-century cloth repair of both hinges; clean and tight.
