Zin illllvmnriam Aloysius Oliver Joseph Kelly, A.M., M.D. The late Professor of Pathology QBY DR. FREDERICK P. HENRYJ Dr. Kelly's name first appears in the catalogue of the XVoman's Med- ical College of Pennsylvania for 1888- '89 as Professor of Clinical Path- ology. He had, therefore, been a member of its teaching staff for nearly thirteen years. During that entire period, his life was one of al- most incessant activity. The result of his work which gave him a place in the first rank of his profession may be found in the transactions of the various medical societies of this city, county, state and nation, in the principal medical journals of the country: in contribution to encyclo- pedic works, and, finally, in his book on the Practice of Medicine which was published in 1910. While perform- ing the most important part of this work, he was also editor of the In- ternational Clinics, which he relin- quished to assume the more import- ant and exacting task of editor of the American Journal of the Medical Sciences g he was teaching at the University of Pennsylvania, at the Woman's Medical College: and, dur- ing the spring and early summer, at the University of Vermont. This was enough to tax the capacity of the strongest, but, in addition, he was physician to St. Agnes and the 'Uni- versity llospitals, and pathologist to the German Hospital. The principal societies to which he belonged were the College of Physicians. in which he was Chairman of the Committee on Scientific Business. the Association of American Physicians. the County and State Medical Societies, the American Medical Association and the Pathological, Pediatric, and Neurological Societies. In all of these he was one of the most active members, and in several he had served as presiding ofiicer. Of these various organizations the Association of Ameri- can Physicians is the one in which membership would be most highly prized by a man of Dr. Kelly's type. Its number is limited to one hundred and thirty-five and is made up of the most distinguished physicians of the United States. Dr. Kelly was elected a member of this Association in 1902, that is, when he was about thirty-two years of age. This is, of necessity, a brief and imperfect summary of the professional work which has given his name a permanent record in the Annals of Medical Science. At a special meeting of the Faculty of the XVoman's Medical College of Penn- sylvania on March 3. IOII, to take action on the death of Professor Kelly, Dr. Frederick P. Henry presented the following minute: 20
