Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The University of London Medical Graduates Society was founded in 1928 following an inaugural private meeting in September 1927. Its purpose was chiefly social and the stated objects of the Society were:

to bring medical graduates of the University of London into closer relationship with their University and with one another;to keep in touch with overseas medical graduates of the University;to promote the interests of the University and its medical members.

The Society did not meet during the Second World War and an attempt to revive it in 1946 failed when most of the nominated officers were unable to serve.
