Sir Felix Semon established the Semon Lecture series in 1913 to advance the specialty of laryngology. The annual lectures continue to the present day (there have been 95 to date).
This review illustrates how instrumental these lectures have been in shaping otolaryngology.
The period 1913-1970 preceded subspecialisation, and so forms the background of laryngology (as well as rhinology and otology) as we know it today. This era forms the focus of the article.
Changes came about by a standardisation of practices and research, and in the treatment of conditions. The initial period was crucial.
Many lectures highlight the specialty's growth. Now, another vital resource, a dedicated website (semonlectures.org), has made this information more accessible to the wider public.
费利克斯·塞蒙爵士于1913年设立了塞蒙讲座系列，以推动喉科学专业的发展。年度讲座一直延续至今（截至目前已有95场）。
本综述阐述了这些讲座在塑造耳鼻咽喉科学方面所起的重要作用。
1913年至1970年这一时期先于亚专业划分，因此构成了我们如今所知的喉科学（以及鼻科学和耳科学）的背景。本文聚焦于这一时代。
实践、研究及病症治疗方面的标准化带来了变革。初始阶段至关重要。
许多讲座突显了该专业的发展。如今，另一个重要资源——专门网站（semonlectures.org），使更广泛的公众能够更便捷地获取这些信息。
