168 A HISTORY OF NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION 



WHEREAS, In order to deal intelligently and effectively with the tuberculo- 

 sis problem in any community a knowledge of the extent and location of the 

 disease on the part of the health authorities is indispensable, therefore be it 



Resolved, That The National Association for the Study and Prevention of 

 Tuberculosis regards the compulsory notification and registration of tubercu- 

 losis as a necessary measure; and that where it does not already exist, legisla- 

 tion providing for such compulsory notification and registration of tuberculosis, 

 with adequate provision for its enforcement, should be enacted. 



At the meeting of the board of directors, held on the evening of 

 Tuesday, May 7, the following officers were elected for the ensuing 

 year: Dr. Frank Billings, president; Dr. Mazyck P. Ravenel and 

 Dr. John P. C. Foster, vice-presidents; Dr. Henry Barton Jacobs, 

 secretary, Gen. George M. Sternberg, treasurer. 



The following directors were elected to serve on the executive 

 committee for the ensuing year: William H. Baldwin, Washing- 

 ton; Dr. Hermann M. Biggs, New York; Dr. Vincent Y. Bow- 

 ditch, Boston; Dr. Lawrence F. Flick, Philadelphia; Dr. John 

 P. C. Foster, New Haven; Dr. Edward G. Janeway, New York; 

 Dr. Arnold C. Klebs, Chicago. 



The board adopted unanimously the following resolutions on 

 the death of Dr. S. E. Solly, a former member of the board: 



WHEREAS, The Directors of The National Association for the Study and 

 Prevention of Tuberculosis have learned with sincere sorrow of the death of 

 their colleague, Dr. S. E. Solly, of Colorado Springs, and 



WHEREAS, By his great medical ability and no less by his unusual personal 

 charm he had both endeared himself to them and proven a wise counsellor in 

 their deliberations, be it 



Resolved, That in his death they have lost a member whose place cannot 

 easily be filled; one whose distinguished professional attainments did honor 

 to this body to which he belonged and whose remarkable gifts of heart equally 

 with those of mind made him ever welcome in their midst; and further be it 



Resolved, That the Secretary be directed to send a copy of these resolutions 

 and assurances of our deep sympathy to his bereaved family; that a copy be 

 spread on our minutes and that they be published in Colorado Medicine, the 

 official organ of the Colorado State Medical Society, in the Journal of the 

 American Medical Association, in the Medical Record, and in the Journal of the 

 Outdoor Life, the official organ of The National Association for the Study and 

 Prevention of Tuberculosis.
