Latch Key Room ReservationsJohn P. McGovern Academy of Oslerian Medicine

LK01 — The latchkey represents the symbol of the American Osler Society. Osler gave latchkeys to several of his junior house staff (including Harvey Cushing) so they could have access to his home library in Baltimore. The favored house staff became known as the “latchkeyers.” - The Quotable Osler
