Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Miscellaneous Addresses and Writings, Vol. 7 . . . In the foregoing, gentlemen, I have not confined myself to simply a few introductory remarks. If I were more eloquent, I should have tried to thank you, in more appropriate terms than I shall probably be able to command, for the honor you have conferred upon me in electing me your President for the ensuing year. As it is, I have considered it my duty to contribute something to the scientific ends of the Society, the more so as there are only eight or nine stated meetings during the year designated for that purpose, and for the further reason that you have deemed proper to effectually seal my lips for the next twelve months. Still it would be improper not to express the thanks I feel for the honor you have given, and which I certainly had no reason to expect, inasmuch as I have had the pleasure of being chosen your Vice-President a few years ago. I will not speak of the customary surprise at my election, nor will I say that it was undesired or unhoped for. The honor of being the President of the largest medical society in the United States - this society being, moreover, the County Medical Society - is certainly worth craving and hoping for; and therefore I trust that you will appreciate my thanks, as I your good-will. There is only one duty left to me this evening - just to give you my ideas on the position this Society ought to hold, and its duties in relation to science, to its individual members, to the public, and to the body politic. Do not fear I shall be too prolix on these points. But I think the Society justified in wanting to know the views of its officers on the most important matters.
