==Remembrance of Huey Long==​

 

==Remembrance of Huey Long assassination==​

Hull reserved his comments on Huey Long's demise until after 1981, when the LSU Medical Center celebrated its 50th anniversary. His public recollections are incorporated in his 1983 memoirs entitled ''This I Remember: An Informal History of the Louisiana State University Medical Center in New Orleans.'' Unlike the LSU historian T. Harry Williams, Hull claimed that after the shooting Long probably could not have been saved by any medical treatment. Moreover, Hull denied that Long died from medical or surgical incompetence.<ref name=lahist/> Hull also criticized his own conduct in the 1935 events surrounding Long's passing at the age of forty-two. Hull had called for an [[autopsy]] of the senator but did not push this strongly enough.<ref name=lahist/>​
