READ AT THE ANNUAL MEETING, In pursuance of a time-honored custom, I submit to you at the close of the year a brief review of the work of your Society. A careful search of the minutes during the year fails to find any questions of ethics, or personal controversies, unfortunately common in some medical organizations. The expression so common among the laity "that doctors will differ," finds no confirmation, at least in the personal relation of our members. The mutual enthusiasm to promote its welfare and the consequent subjections of individual interests to the common good, have constituted the unwritten code that has regulated all our sessions. I congratulate you on the promising state of the Society. The activity in its work has never been more decided, its power for good never more marked, the assurance of extended usefulness never stronger, and, better still, it continues to maintain the best professional tone and as powerfully as ever to foster the spirit of a high grade of brotherhood. Six new members have been enrolled during the year. We recall with sorrow the death of Dr. J. J. Rogers, an honorary member, which occurred since the last banquet. He was an active member in the early history of the Society, and remained so until advancing age impaired his health. There have been no resignations, two members being dropped for non-payment of dues. We have had nineteen meetings, and all of them have been well attended. All meetings have had instructive papers and valuable discussions. A review of these communications reveals the fact that none of them were without practical and scientific interest, and that the greater number of them are of a high order. |
