First Meeting
The first meeting of the SOC

From the diary:
(Club Secretary, W G Sym)
"The first meeting of the
Club was held at the Royal Infirmary on 26 May 1911 at 5.30pm. I
entertained the members to tea in the waiting room. Patients were shown in
my Consulting and Dark Rooms. The Chair was taken by Berry at 5.45 and
cases were shown or detailed, and - after each exhibitor had read all his
cases - discussed. Any papers were to come at the end, but we had almost
too much material, so no papers. About 20 were present, from Edinburgh
(8), Glasgow (8), Aberdeen (2), Dundee (2).
Immediately thereafter we
dined at the Caledonian Station Hotel (6/-) [Morning Dress]. No toasts
except the King and the Club. Everything passed off well and the visitors
were greatly pleased."
