Excerpt from Bulletin on Organization and Progress of the Institute: And Bulletins From Section A History and Statistics Section C Transmission; And Section D Quarantine Management and Treatment Section D - Quarantine and Treatment. - Chairman, Surg. R. M. Woodward, M. H. S., In Charge of Bureau Division of Foreign Quarantine and Immigration. October 11, 1901. - The first meeting of the executive board, composed under the terms of the plan of organization of the above chairman, secretary and chairmen of sections, was held, all the members being present, and the plans for securing information and carrying out the plans of the Institute were discussed. It was agreed without dissenting voice, that it was necessary to investigate all theories as to the origin and spread and methods of transmission of yellow fever. At a meeting held October 19, 1901, Professors Welch, Osler, Abbott, McFarland, Flexner, Barker, Vanghan (Victor C.), John Guiteras, and Drs. Ravenel, Flint, Theobald Smith, and Carlos Finley were proposed for membership in the Institute and duly elected. The secretary was instructed to send to the chief quarantine officers of Cuba and Porto Rico additional copies of the plan of organization of the Institute, and to request them to submit for consideration as possible members of the Institute the names of persons within their territory whom it was thought might from taste or previous work be valuable members. The secretary was also instructed to prepare a form of invitation to pathologists and bacteriologists to enroll themselves as members of the Institute, and to prepare and submit for approval a form of invitation to foreign scientists, to unite themselves with the Institute as corresponding members. The subject of the preparation and publication of bulletins was discussed, but action was deferred. The Institute was informed of the appointment by the Orleans Parish Medical Society, of New Orleans, La., of a commission to investigate and report upon the subject of the mosquitoes of New Orleans and vicinity, and their relation to the questions of malaria and yellow fever. The secretary was directed to extend invitations to membership to all State health officers, or secretaries of State boards of health. It was resolved to communicate with the Surgeon-General of the United States Army and Navy, with a view of enlisting the aid and cooperation of medical officers of the Army and Navy. November 5, 1901. - At the meeting of the executive board of the Institute the secretary reported that up to this time replies as to membership in the Institute had been received from 36 officers of the Marine-Hospital Service, and that replies accepting membership had been received from 64 others, and that among these were Dr. Benjamin Lee, president of the State board of health of Pennsylvania, and Dr. John S. Fulton, president of the State board of health of Maryland. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
