The collection documents Dr. Meynier's work in obstetrics and gynecology from 1931 to his retirement in 1977. Of particular interest is the history of Dr. Meynier's involvement in
numerous issues of the mid-twentieth century: public health services and
delivery of medical care to the indigent, location of a new city-county
charity hospital, and the controversy surrounding liberalization of laws
governing abortion. Also documented are Dr. Meynier's terms as president,
respectively, of the Texas Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
in 1960, the Houston Gynecological and Obstetrical Society in 1964, and the

Maurice J. Meynier, Jr., was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Oct. 16,
1904. His family moved to Houston when he was twelve, and following his
graduation from Houston High School in 1920, he enrolled in what was then
the Rice Institute, from which he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in
1927. He attended medical school at the University of Texas at Galveston,
completing a senior externship at St. Mary's Hospital there and receiving
his Doctor of Medicine degree In 1931. Dr. Meynier then served a two-year
internship/residency at the Graduate Hospital of the University of
Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, continuing his training as a resident in
gynecology-obstetrics at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, New York, from
1933 to 1934. Returning to Houston, he established a practice in
obstetrics and gynecology, leaving to serve in the Army Air Force Medical
Corps from December 1942 until February 1946. He resumed his practice in
Houston at that time, continuing until his retirement in 1977.
Dr. Meynier's concern with community issues was evident throughout his
career. In the late 1930's, he advocated reform of the ambulance system in
Houston. In December 1940, while serving as chairman of the Health Council
of the Community Chest's Council of Social Agencies, he participated in
Houston's first annual Public Health Institute. He stressed the need for a
non-politically controlled planning committee for coordinating public
health programs, including pre-natal and venereal disease clinics. He was
later active in a campaign to institute the city manager form of government
which he felt would permit needed expansion of the city health department's
services.
In the mid-1950's, controversy arose over the proposed location of
additional hospital facilities for the indigent. Dr. Meynier, as a member
of the Hospital Committee of the Harris County Medical Society, recommended
adding beds to the existing facilities at Jefferson Davis Hospital, rather
than building a new hospital in the Medical Center. The opposing plan
was adopted, however, resulting in the construction of Ben Taub Hospital.
Dr. Meynier was strongly opposed to liberalization of state laws
governing abortion. He served from 1968 to 1970 on the Texas Medical
Association's Committee on Abortion, during which time he vigorously
opposed endorsement by the Association of such liberalization. He
continued his efforts through the Houston Right-to-Life group, in which he
served as a vice-president.
Dr. Meynier served as clinical associate professor in obstetrics and
gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Texas in
Houston. His research and publishing included work in intrathecal injection
of alcohol for intractable pain of the pelvis; cervicitis and infertility;
vitamin A deficiency in fetal deformity; use of antibiotics in patients
with poor obstetrical histories; and simple removal of cerclage suture for
incompetent cervix. His patents and original designs included those for an
intra-vaginal tampon, a breast pump, vaginal pessary, cervical biopsy and
coning instrument, and life preserver.
Dr. Meynier's professional associations are numerous. He served as
president respectively of the Texas Association of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists in I960, the Houston Gynecological and Obstetrical Society in
1964, and the Harris County Medical Society in 1969. He was a Diplomate
the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, a Fellow In the American
College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and a Fellow In the American
College of Surgeons. He served as chief of the obstetrics service and as
president of the medical staff at St. Joseph's Hospital and was a
consultant on the staffs of Methodist and Hermann Hospitals.
Dr. Meynier died March 24, 1997. His obituary was in the Houston Chronicle Mar. 26, 1997, p. 28A.
