Proceedings of the Scottish Society of the History of Medicine, Session 1975–76

The Society had another successful session with excellent attendances and fruitful discussions following the papers delivered. While only two full meetings were held, at Glasgow and Stirling respectively, a special one was arranged, limited to thirty members, for a visit to an internationally known firm of bookbinders at Falkirk in October 1975. At the invitation of the Director of the Royal Scottish Museum, Edinburgh, the Society joined forces with the Museum in organizing a symposium, 'The early years of the Edinburgh Medical School' to coincide with the celebrations in connexion with the 250th anniversary of the foundation of the Faculty of Medicine at the University ofEdinburgh. The symposium replaced the usual summer meeting.
