HISTORICAL THE American College of Surgeons was organized at a meet- ing in Washington on Monday evening, May 5, 1913. Four hundred and fifty prominent surgeons of the con- tinent of North America came together at the invitation of an Organization Committee which had been appointed by the CHnical Congress of Surgeons of North America at its meeting in November, 191 2. This committee consisted of Edward Martin of Philadelphia, Emmet Rixford of San Francisco, John B. Murphy of Chicago, Rudolph Matas of New Orleans, Albert J. Ochsner of Chicago, Charles H. Mayo of Rochester, Minn., Frederic J. Cotton of Boston, George Emerson Brewer of New York, J. M. T. Finney of Baltimore, W. W. Chipman of Montreal, George W. Crile of Cleveland, and Franklin H. Martin of Chicago. The invitations, which resulted in this large gathering of sur- geons in Washington, were extended by the Organization Commit- tee after a carefully prepared campaign in which each large univer- sity city on the continent was visited by a member of the committee who met, in person, a group of selected men brought together by a committee of three in each locality, which committee had been authorized by the Organization Committee to extend an invitation to the surgeons in their locality to meet the representative of the Organization Committee. These five hundred men who were in- vited to the meeting in Washington, four hundred and fift y of whom responded, represented all branches of surgery and surgical specialties. At this meeting in Washington, called for the purpose of effecting an organization, the Committee on Organization presented a definite tentative plan, which plan included a call of the meeting, the presentation of by-laws, the presentation of resolutions, and a plan for the completion of the organization by the election of governing bodies and executive officers. CALL OF THE MEETING The men were called together by Edward Martin, Chairman of the Organization Committee, who called for the reading of the Call of the Meeting.
