Medical Fund Society Records, 1872-1950 1872-1950

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/646069999

The records consist of the 1919 published history of the society and a ledger. The ledger contains the incorporation papers, bylaws, and meeting minutes. The overall significance of the ledger is to show the continuity of private ownership from times substantially antedating the University connection through to the period when the present medical campus was being planned. Medical Fund Society meetings were held quarterly in January, April, July, and October until 1913. The April meeting was the annual meeting. Prior to 1913, the principal subject of the meetings was the ownership and maintenance of the instructional and clinical buildings. With its landlord function dissolved, meetings were held less frequently. The last entries were made in 1950, when the Society ceased operations.
