| Abstract: | Correspondence, data on meetings, and printed matter. The collection also includes some photographs, information on finances, and miscellaneous materials pertaining to the Society. |
The Society of University Surgeons was organized in 1938 in Baltimore, MD. by George G. Finney, I. Ridgeway Trimble, and Warfield M. Firor to bring together young men trained in surgery as residents in university hospitals. It was incorporated in 1941. The original trustees were Samuel J. Stabins, Louis M. Rousselot, Frank Glenn, L.C. Foster, Robert Zollinger, and Frank B. Walton.
Since a surgeon needed to complete their residency before membership in the National Surgical Society could be obtained, the founders felt much of the productive period of a surgeon's career was lost. Therefore, the Society's object became 1) the encouragement of its members to pursue original investigations both in the clinic and laboratory; 2) the development of methods of graduate teaching of surgery with particular reference to the resident system; 3) free and informal interchange of ideas pertaining to the above subjects as a limited membership and commons aims make possible. Active membership is limited to surgeons under the age of 45.
