Sawyer received his MD from Harvard Medical School in 1906, and did his medical residency at Massachusetts General Hospital from 1906 to 1908. While there he took a series of photographs of the hospital and grounds, staff nurses, and fellow medical residents. The caption on the back of the photograph reads: "Medical Side: East: Chapin, Kinnicutt, Spooner, Gregg; West: Sawyer, Young, Smith, Sadler." It is assumed that "East" and "West" refer to the location of each individual's home, or where he attended school.
