College of Physicians of Philadelphia. Section on Medical History.
On 2 Nov. 1904, the Secretary of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia announced the formation of a new section of the College, the Section on Medical History.
Starting in 1905, the section began holding meetings at which lectures on medical history were presented. The section invited papers from physicians and scholars from a variety of backgrounds; many were published in "Transactions and studies of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia". Many notable figures lectured at section meetings, including Sir William Osler, John F. Fulton, and Karl Sudhoff. In the 1940s, the section embarked on a collaborative effort with area medical schools to present medical history lectures to Philadelphia medical students. By the 1970s, the section had become the sponsor of several annual lectures, including the Kate Hurd Mead Lecture, which was started in 1952, the Samuel X Radbill Lecture (1974), and the W. B. McDaniel Memorial Lecture (1976). As of 1992, the Section on Medical History remains an active body of the College of Physicians.
