Book excerpt: Excerpt from Washington Medical Annals (Bimonthly), 1917, Vol. 16: Journal of the Medical Society of the District of Columbia In accordance with a provision of the Constitution, I shall claim your indulgence for a brief period of time before retiring from the position to which I was Called by your partiality. The subject of a Presidential Address is a debatable one. Shall it be an oration in medicine; shall it treat of the practical or literary side of medicine; shall it be a review of the year's activities; or shall it depict, for pattern, a model society? The question of ease or difficulty in the treatment of the subject has no place in the selec tion of the subject. The decision as to the subject should be made in the light of the President's conception Of his responsi bility to the Society. This view has constrained me to eschew the congenial, and to pass in review before you some of the events of the year, with observations as to two of the Society's needs. First, let me express to the entire membership of the Society a sense of my deep appreciation of its uniform courtesy and consideration, of its generous forbearance, and Of its hearty cooperation - to all Of which any success which my administration may have achieved 18 due. No terms are sufficiently expressive of my appreciation of the loyalty of the Recording and Corresponding Secretaries. I feel that I could not have measured up in any appreciable degree to the requirements of the Presidential office without their intelligent aid and generous support. During the year nine of our members have passed from our view. Medical endeavor has felt the impulse of their contact, the stimulus Of their enthusiasm, and the encouragement of their achievements. They wrought well and our heritage is made richer by their having been with us and of us. Their names are inscribed in the temple of memory, and in honor of them we here record their names: Eugene C. C. Winter, Robert L. Lynch, Hobart S. Dye, Francis B. Bishop, Ernest F. King, Floyd V. Brooks, Francis J. Woodman, Neil D. Graham, Arthur L. Hunt.
