Papers documenting the career of Raymond Gregory Arveson, a physician in Frederic, Wisconsin. A 1906 graduate of the Wisconsin College of Physicians, "Ted" Arveson served in the Navy Medical Corps in World War I, and was the first Wisconsin physician to build a small hospital in which to start a rural group practice. He was a member of the State Board of Medical Examiners (1941 to 1948); president of the State Medical Society of Wisconsin (1940); and a member of the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents for 8 1/2 years. His papers include personal correspondence, a financial record book, and a diary kept while in the service. Three scrapbooks commemorate Dr. Arveson's 50th anniversary as a physician in Frederic, and include correspondence and documents concerning his long career. The photographs include formal and informal photos of Arveson, his wife Mabel, other colleagues and friends, and events including bratwurst picnics of the Board of Regents (1951-1952).
