PREFACE 



to the tuberculosis bibliographies of the presidents, vice-presi- 

 dents, secretaries, and treasurers a list of my own publications on 

 tuberculosis. I hope the readers will bear with the length of it, 

 as an excuse for which I may say that I have scarcely written on 

 any other subject than tuberculosis. Thus my bibliography rep- 

 resents in a measure my life's work. 



I am particularly indebted to Dr. Philip P. Jacobs, the Publicity 

 Director, for his helpful co-operation in writing the chapter on the 

 Sixth International Congress, the biographies of Dr. Flick and Dr. 

 Fulton, and several other chapters in Part I. He has also been 

 most helpful in the preparation and editing of the entire work and 

 in facilitating its printing and publication. The arrangement of 

 the material and the rereading of the page proof were done by 

 Dr. Philip P. Jacobs and his able assistant, Miss Eleanor B. 

 Conklin. To both I desire to express my grateful appreci- 

 ation. 



It would be ungracious on my part if I did not also express my 

 grateful appreciation of the valuable information furnished by the 

 relatives, friends, and pupils of our departed presidents and vice- 

 presidents. I wish to extend my thanks to Professor John H. 

 Finley, who helped me in writing the biographical sketch of 

 Grover Cleveland, ex-president of the United States and honor- 

 ary vice-president of the Association ; to Mrs. Douglas Robinson, 

 who sent me valuable data concerning her brother, Theodore 

 Roosevelt, ex-president of the United States and honorary vice- 

 president of the Association; to Lady Osier, Mrs. William C. 

 Gorgas, Mrs. John H. Lowman, Mrs. Theodore B. Sachs, Mrs. 

 George M. Sternberg for biographical notes and photographs of 

 their late husbands; to Mrs. Mathilda Janeway Wisner for an 

 excellent photograph, data, and notices of her father, the late Dr. 

 Edward G. Janeway. To Dr. Edward R. Baldwin I am indebted 

 for the bibliography of Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau ; and to 

 Dr. David R. Lyman for a photograph of and a touching tribute 

 to his teacher and friend, the late Dr. John P. Foster. Lastly I 

 wish to express my grateful appreciation to Mr. George B. 

 Christian, secretary to the president, and to Mr. Judson C. 

 Welliver, the president's private secretary, for their helpfulness in 

 obtaining interesting data for the biographical sketch of Warren
