A Guide To The Archives of the Singleton Surgical Society
THE SINGLETON SURGICAL SOCIETYThe initial steps toward the formation of the Singleton Surgical Society took place in April 1952, at the Texas Surgical Society meeting. In order to maintain ties with their old department and to keep the exchange of new ideas going, all the former residents of Dr. Albert O. Singleton were invited to join this new organization. The constitution was prepared and accepted as a special meeting in 1953, with the first regular meeting taking place in Galveston the following year. The Singleton Surgical Society aims to enhance the reputation of the Department of Surgery of the University of Texas Medical Branch by encouraging its members to take an active part in furthering the progress of surgery.
