Excerpt from Medical Libraries: An Address Delivered Before the New York Academy of Medicine, January 18, 1877, on Taking the Chair as President a Second Term
IN yielding to the requirements of an established custom, the obligations of which devolve upon me by reason of your choice a second time, to occupy the honorable position and discharge the duties of your presiding officer, I have been led to believe that on this occasion the interests of this Institution can be promoted, possibly, in no better way than by a brief survey of the progress that this Academy has made during the past two years - the means which have been adopted and are still required to extend its beneficial influence.
To speak of causes which retard the scientific growth of medical associations, and of professional harmony, which causes necessarily exist in all commercial cities, is no purpose of mine. These will, as social intercourse, literary culture, and the love of science become more deeply implanted in the hearts, and age matures the judgment of medical men, take to themselves wings and fly away. They will hide themselves in narrow and sordid minds, who soon pass from the active stage of medical life, and, like falling stars, leave no track behind them.
