Biographical Note
Dr. Julius Cruse was born in 1937. He earned B.A. and B.S. degrees in chemistry from the University of Mississippi in 1958, and then received a D.Med.Sc Degree from the University of Graz (Austria) while a Fulbright Fellow. He received his M.D./Ph.D. in pathology from the University of Tennessee College in Medicine before returning to the University of Mississippi where he taught and practiced medicine for nearly 50 years.
Though an immunologist by trade, Cruse was also an avid book collector with a particular interest in T.S. Eliot. By 1995 Cruse had amassed what is thought to be the largest and most complete collection of material related to T.S. Eliot in private hands.
Julius Cruse died in 2018.
