Dr. Musgrave was born in Farmington, Tennessee, September 12, 1869, son of William Everett and Susan Casander (Thomas) Musgrave.
He was educated at George Washington University School of Medicine, and in 1901 he received his M.D. Following an interest
in tropical medicine, he began his career at the Philippines Medical School, as professor of clinical medicine and applied
therapeutics, as well as chief of clinics from 1902-1909. Dr. Musgrave served as the dean of the College of Medicine and Surgery
at the University of the Philippines and director of the Philippines General Hospital from 1909-1917.
In 1918 Dr. Musgrave came to San Francisco to take the position as director of hospitals at the University of California.
He also became editor of
California and Western Medicine and
Better Health magazines. At this time Dr. Musgrave lived in Ben Lomond, California, and maintained an office in San Francisco.

Health Association; he was acting assistant surgeon of U.S. Army 1901-1903; captain in the Medical Corps during World War
