Nixon, Pat Ireland, 1883-1965

San Antonio physician, book collector, and medical historian. Dr. Nixon was the sole author of three books devoted to Texas medicine and was co-author of a fourth. He was founder of the San Antonio Historical Association and served terms as president of the Bexar County Medical Library Association, Texas Surgical Society, San Antonio Ex-Students Society of Texas, San Antonio Historical Association, and the Philosophical Society of Texas. Because of Dr. Nixon's efforts, the Bexar County Medical Library was able to accumulate a large collection of rare medical books which was donated to the Briscoe Library in 1970; the collection is known as the P.I. Nixon Medical Historical Library.
