384 A HISTORY OF NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION 



Dr. Vaughan is a member of many learned societies, such as the 

 American Philosophical Society, the American National Associa- 

 tion of Sciences, the French and Hungarian Societies of Hygiene. 

 In 1909 he was the president of the Association of American 

 Physicians, and in 1915 the president of the American Medical 

 Association. 



Dr. Vaughan served in the Santiago campaign in 1898 as Major 

 and surgeon of the Thirty-third Michigan Volunteer Infantry. 

 He was soon appointed a Division Surgeon and gradually rose to 

 the rank of Surgeon General. Because of his distinction as a 

 hygienist and as one of our greatest authorities on physiological 

 chemistry, Dr. Vaughan has been made a member of many na- 

 tional and foreign societies, and during the recent World War he 

 served with distinction as Colonel and as Assistant Surgeon 

 General. He is a member of the American Advisory Board of the 

 Red Cross. 



All of Dr. Vaughan's five sons served in the World War and 

 distinguished themselves by bravery and devotion. Unfor- 

 tunately, the oldest son, Major Victor C. Vaughan, Jr., was acci- 

 dentally drowned in France. 



Dr. Vaughan's text-book on Physiological and Pathological 

 Chemistry is perhaps the most important work existing on the 

 subject. Among some two hundred papers on medical and scien- 

 tific subjects published by him in this country and in Europe, 

 there are a number of highly interesting contributions relating to 

 the subject of tuberculosis, of which a partial list is attached to 

 this sketch. 



In the tuberculosis movement of his own state, Dr. Vaughan 

 has been most active and is largely responsible for the formation 

 of the state tuberculosis association and the foundation of the 

 admirable Michigan State Sanatorium for the tuberculous. The 

 appended bibliography does not by any means comprise all of the 

 numerous and instructive addresses on behalf of the tuberculosis 

 cause which Dr. Vaughan delivered during his long and interest- 

 ing career. He has been a faithful attendant at nearly all the 

 meetings of the National Tuberculosis Association, and his ad- 

 dresses and discussions have always been most enlightening and 

 instructive. We will make especial mention only of the wonderful
