Minutes of the Annual Meeting

The eighteenth annual meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine was called to order at 9 a.m., Tuesday, May 2, 1922, at the Hotel Washington, Washington, D. C., with Vice-President George Dock in the chair. The first session for the reading of papers followed by a business session at 11:45 a.m. was attended by 37 members and visitors.

In lieu of the presidential address, not delivered owing to the absence abroad of the President, the Acting President, Dr. Dock, opened the program with the following remarks (here given in abstract):

The annual meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine recalls the great contributions by American physicians to Tropical Medicine. The names of Sternberg, Reed and Gorgas are most outstanding, but the large number of others, many of whom are still alive and active, cannot be forgotten. Not less important are the great works in tropical sanitation, carried out by American students of tropical disease.
