Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Massachusetts Department of Mental Diseases, Vol. 4: February 1920 Whereas, The Commonwealth has lost a faithful servant through\ the death of Dr. Elmer Ernest Southard, Director of the Psychiatric Institute, on Feb. 8, 1920, we, the members of the Department of Mental Diseases, desire to record our great sorrow at his loss, and our high appreciation of his valuable service to the Department, to the institutions under its super vision, and to the Commonwealth.' Dr. Southard entered the service of the State in 1906, at the Danvers State Hospital, Where his work attracted attention, and he was made pathologist to the State Board of Insanity in 1909. With the opening of the Psychopathic Department of the Boston State Hospital in 1912, Dr. Southard Was chosen as its director, while still acting as pathologist to the Board. He continued at the Psychopathic Department until appointed as director of the Massachusetts State Psychiatric Institute in 1919, rwhere his work of usefulness covered the entire State. His brilliancy of mind, far-sightedness, unlimited capacity for work, and kindly disposition made him invaluable to the Commonwealth he so ably served. His associ ates will miss him. Those interested in scientific research for the mentally sick and feeble-minded well know how great a debt of gratitude the Commonwealth owes to Dr. Southard.
