218 A HISTORY OF NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION 



WHEREAS, In the life history of this unique man, Providence has given to us 

 in a gifted and lovable personality an example of rare usefulness in the face of 

 adversity, an inspiration to those whom fate leads to tread the same road of 

 invalidism, and a nobility of character developed as a result of suffering, a 

 sympathy deepened and made invaluable to the world by personal experience of 

 disease throughout a long life, and 



WHEREAS, In the history of American medicine, there existed no finer 

 example of the ideal physician, whose influence radiated far beyond his home in 

 the forest, whose memory will be cherished by the strong and the weak, by the 

 grief-stricken and disheartened in their struggle for life, whose comfort he was, 

 whose presence brought faith and hope to the bedside, and who made an un- 

 dying impression on the art and science of medicine in the field of tuberculosis, 

 be it 



Resolved, That this Association records these sentiments with a full con- 

 sciousness of the debt we owe to his memory, and a deep appreciation of the 

 glory shed upon his work as well as upon the history of American medicine, and 

 be it further 



Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of the late 

 Dr. Trudeau. 



WHEREAS, In the death of Dr. Theodore B. Sachs, The National Associa- 

 tion for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has suffered the loss of its 

 honored president, and the entire anti-tuberculosis movement a valued worker; 

 and 



WHEREAS, In a spirit of self-sacrifice and devotion to the cause of humanity 

 he has given the best of his life to the anti-tuberculosis campaign; and 



WHEREAS, His signal services in tuberculosis work, both as a clinician and 

 an administrator, have proven of inestimable worth to the people of the United 

 States and the rest of the world; be it 



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

 Tuberculosis deplores its own loss of a member, director and president, and 

 expresses its deep and sincere appreciation of the valuable services Dr. Sachs 

 has rendered; and be it further 



Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be read at and spread upon the 

 minutes of the twelfth annual meeting of The National Association for the 

 Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, and that they be transmitted by the 

 executive secretary to the family of Dr. Sachs. 



WHEREAS, In the death of General George M. Sternberg this Association 

 has lost one of its most highly valuable members, eminent for his service as an 

 executive officer and for his attainments in medicine, as one of the leaders in the 

 movement against tuberculosis and a co-worker with Dr. Robert Koch, and as 

 one of the founders of this Association, be it 



Resolved, That the secretary be requested to extend to his family the deep 

 sympathy of the members of this Association, while expressing their apprecia- 

 tion of him, both as a man and a physician.
