The collection documents his commitment to various committees and departments at the School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania, particularly his work during his terms as Dean of the Medical School and as chairman of the surgical division of the University Hospital, and the part he played in fund raising for both the University Fund in general and the construction of an addition to the women's surgical ward in the early s.
In the field of social service, his activities are documented by material concerned with the Public Charities Association of Pennsylvania and the Social Service Department of the University Hospital. Series 2 consists of medical manuscripts written or compiled by Frazier, some of his medical theses, and reprints of either his own works or works done by others in areas of his interest. The most important item in this section is the manuscript of Frazier's textbook material on trigeminal neuralgia.
