The Presidential Address delivered at the Fifty-ninth Annual Meeting of the Medico-Psychological Association, held in London on the 26th July, 1900

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

First let me thank you very heartily for the high honour you have done me by electing me to the Presidential chair. When one looks over the names that have preceded me, from the time of Conolly downwards, one finds that it has been occupied by men of high talent, well known as workers in psychiatry, not only in this country, but abroad. To emulate them will be my endeavour, and I shall certainly do everything in my power to uphold the dignity and welfare of this Association.
