Since his advent at the Long Island College Hospital this institution has become one of the Well- known thyroid clinics of this country. During the recent years he has been Presi- dent of the Association for the Study of the Internal Secretions and an important advisor of the Association for the Advancement of Science. With this he is a charter member of the American College of Surgeons and during the year of 1925-1926 was the President of the American Goitre Association. As a mem- ber of the New York Academy of Medicine he has delivered many lectures on the thyroid gland and in recognition of his recent works has been planning to go to Geneva in the summer coming, as a speaker, by invitation, at the International Goitre Conference. For the students of the Long Island Col- lege Hospital he has dissected the course in Surgery into a matter of simple problems which may be solved one by one. Through tlie coordination of the ultimate details the Him structure of the machine has been dem- onstrated. The value of this method is easily and greatly appreciated by all who have been able to enjoy the course. Therefore, We the editors, do in the name cf the Students of the Long Island College Hospital, dedicate the LICHONIAN of the year 1927 to Doctor Emil Goetsch for that which he has given us in the idea of surgery.
