The image above shows the blizzard of 1947, a record breaking storm that hit New York on Christmas 1947 dropping 26.6 inches of snow. This scene of York Avenue was taken by Farrington Daniels, who became the chief of the Division of Dermatology at the medical center.

Just a few days ago, as I turned on my home computer, accessed the internet and glanced at my Yahoo home page, I noticed that one of the news stories flashing across the Yahoo site dealt with the Bloomingdale Asylum. The Asylum, named after the area of upper Manhattan formerly known as Bloomingdale, once operated where Columbia University now stands. Established by New York Hospital in the early 19th century to care for the mentally ill, the records of the asylum now live here in the Medical Center Archives.
