WILLIAM HENRY BALDWIN 399 



in Rome in 1912; a member of the Conference of Commissioners 

 on Uniform State Laws from the District of Columbia; Vice- 

 Chairman of the American Association of Societies for Organizing 

 Charity; and member of the Advisory Council of the Henry 

 Phipps Institute. With the entrance of the United States into 

 the World War it was, of course, evident that Mr. Baldwin would 

 do his share, and in 1917 he became chairman of the District 

 Council of Defense for the District of Columbia. 



We append here only a very short list of valuable papers Mr. 

 Baldwin has written on the social aspect of tuberculosis. Coming 

 from a layman so intimately associated with the tuberculosis 

 movement in the United States, they are of incalculable value 

 and will serve as classical treatises for many years to come. 



Mr. Baldwin's social activities, however, were not confined 

 specifically to tuberculosis subjects. Poverty, want, and social 

 unhappiness, all of which contribute toward the propagation of 

 tuberculosis, received his attention and devotion. Mr. Baldwin's 

 book on "Family Desertion and Non-Support Laws," published 

 in 1904, and various papers and reprints on the same subject, are 

 monuments to his philanthropy and eagerness to serve. In con- 

 nection with the Associated Charities in Washington since 1909 

 he has been chairman of the Citizen's Committee on the Loan 

 Shark Law, which has stopped the payment of more than $500,000 

 illegal interest in our capital each year. 



Although he has retired as our treasurer, we still rejoice in hav- 

 ing Mr. Baldwin as a member of our Association, feeling sure that 

 he will never fail to help us with his valued advice in all matters 

 appertaining to the social and economic side of the tuberculosis 

 problem.
