Anatomical Laboratory of the Johns Hopkins University.

"Herbert McLean Evans (1882-1971), anatomist, endocrinologist, and bibliophile, was born in Modesto, California, September 23, 1882. His father, Clayburn Wayne Evans, a native of Alabama, was the leading physician and surgeon in the thensmall town; he is said to have been the first in the upper San Joaquin Valley to do abdominal surgery. Herbert Evans’s mother, née Bessie McLean, came of a Virginia family. Her father practiced medicine in Modesto, and her brother, Robert McLean, was professor of surgery and dean of the San Francisco medical faculty of the University of California. Dr. C. W. Evans was a man of vigorous rather than polished character; Bessie McLean Evans and her brother Robert were persons of refined manners and tastes. Herbert Evans thus began life in a strongly medical family and with a varied store of traits and temperaments."
