Friendship Galleries
Lining the corridor walls of the Historical Suite are the "friendship galleries" of the Doctors Mayo. The galleries consist of signed photographs of friends and acquaintances of the Mayo brothers and are displayed in their original arrangement. Photographs of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, boxer Jack Dempsey, and humorist Will Rogers are standouts in the gallery.
The Suite houses additional Mayo family memorabilia, displays of medical instruments and artifacts, the Emeritus Staff albums containing biographical sketches of Mayo Clinic Staff who retired from Mayo or who died while in practice at Mayo.
The Suite also has rotating displays on such topics as the history of nursing and the discovery of cortisone. Historical Suite staff design and maintain historical displays and collect and preserve archival records and artifacts relative to Mayo Clinic history.

Jack Dempsey: 1918-05-03 187½ Billy Miske (who visited the Mayo Clinic 1919) 182 38-9-8
Auditorium, Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States D NWS 10 10
"Neither fighter gained a commanding lead and a poor draw was the general verdict. Miske outboxed Dempsey most of the fight with the exception of the seventh round, when Dempsey, sinking a hard left into Miske's stomach and putting a right to the jaw, evened up the battle. Up to that time Miske had claimed three rounds and Dempsey two and one was a draw. Miske was plainly worried in the seventh but he held his own the rest of the way. The fight was without a spectacular feature. Miske continually resorted to infighting and managed to get inside most of Dempsey's blows. Miske landed one hard blow in the fight, a right cross in the third round. Dempsey scored in the second, third and seventh rounds and his supporters seemingly were inclined to give him a shade for this work. On the other hand those who gave Miske a shade based their verdicts on the fact that he made Dempsey miss many blows." (Indianapolis Star) According to George Blair, the St. Paul Pioneer-Press reported Miske to be the winner.
