In January 1920 William J. Mayo, in his capacity as President of the American College of Surgeons, joined the College’s Director-General, Franklin H. Martin on a eight-week tour of Peru, Chile, Uruguay, and Argentina. Their goal was to establish ties between the College and South American surgeons as part of an ambitious plan by Martin to expand the College. While some Latin American surgeons had already visited the Mayo Clinic, the tour provides us with the first observations by North Americans of elite surgery in South America. As the title suggests, the visitors came away impressed by what they had seen.
