GENERAL SURVEY CLOSELY related to the advance made by the medical profession during the last decade is a movement initiated by the surgeons of this continent which finds its expression in the American College of Surgeons. This College is not a teaching institution. It is a society, or a college in the original sense, whose reason for existence lies in its disinterested and unselfish efforts to elevate the standards of the profession, moral as well as intellectual, to foster research, and to educate the public up to the idea that there is a difference between the honest, con- scientious, well-trained surgeon and the purely commercial operator. It aims to include within its Fellowship those surgeons who are competent in the science and technique of surgery, and who have in them that moral timber which characterizes a fine conception of public service. The College developed directly out of a consciousness within the Clinical Congress of Surgeons, first, that such an organization would serve to inspire genuine advance, not only on the human or moral side of the practice of surgery, but also on the side of the art and technique; and, second, that it would serve as a safe-guard to the public in the matter of honest and competent practice of surgery. In the minds of these men the motive was to foster high professional ideals in medicine and to instruct the public as to what these ideals mean. This motive in November, 191 2, found its first constructive expression. The Congress, at that time, appointed a committee to consider the advisability of organizing the College and it further empowered this committee to proceed with the organization if, after a thorough survey, such a step were deemed wise. The personnel of the committee was Edward Martin of Philadelphia, Emmet Rixford of San Francisco, John B. Murphy of Chicago, Rudolph Matas of New Orleans, Albert J. Ochsner of Chicago, Charles H. Mayo of Rochester, Minn., Frederic J. Cotton of Boston, George Emerson Brewer of New York, J. M. T. Finney of Baltimore, W. W. Chipman of Montreal, George W. Crile of Cleveland, and Franklin H. Martin of Chicago. President ' s address by Dr. J. M. T. Finney, November 13, 1913. I
