Mr. President and members of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene:

The Walter Reed Medal Committee, composed of Doctor Andrews, Doctor Taliaferro, and myself, is pleased to nominate Doctor Willard H. Wright for the 1958 award. The nomination was unanimously approved by the Council of the Society; and I, as Chairman, have the honor to present the medal to Doctor Wright.

The first Walter Reed Medal was conferred in 1936. Recipients in the past include such names as William B. Castle, Herbert C. Clark, Carlos J. Finlay, Paul F. Russell, James Stevens Simmons, N. H.
