Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conservation of School Children The Conference on the Conservation of School Children under the auspices of the American Academy of Medicine was held at Lehigh University, South Bethlehem, on April 3 and 4, 1912. The sessions of the Conference were held in Drown Memorial Hall, which was kindly placed at the disposal of the Conference by the University authorities. At the first session (Wednesday, April 3rd, 2 P.M.) the President of the Academy, Dr. Alexander R. Craig, of Chicago, in calling the meeting to order, said: This Conference is called to discuss a subject that interests the public. We are grateful for your attendance and we want you to feel that this is not a meeting of the American Academy of Medicine but a conference of all interested in the subject. The discussions are open to any who have thoughts to add to those presented in the papers read, questions to ask or comments to make on the subject presented; yon are welcome to the floor of the conference whenever you will contribute to its discussions. The Secretary of the Academy then presented the program for the Conference and explained the registration system, making a distinction between the members of the Conference and visitors, a registration fee of two dollars being charged to the former which entitled them to a badge and a copy of the transactions of the Conference. He also called attention to the invitation of the President of Lehigh University for the Conference to make use of the University Commons, thus enabling the social opportunities of the meeting to be increased. The President introduced Henry S. Drinker, LL.D., President of Lehigh University, who said: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Academy, our Guests: The University is highly honored to be allowed to be the host of this distinguished body and you are very welcome. We hope we shall be able to make you comfortable. It will certainly be our object and pleasure to do whatever we can to minister to your wants and show you how welcome you are.
