He was a member of the House of Delegates of the American Medical Association during the session of 1912 at Los Angeles, and has been a delegate to the Medical Society of the State of Pennsylvania for many years, always taking an active part in its transactions. He is a member of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, a member of the Aesculapian Club of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Clinical Association, the Physicians' Motor Club, and the Phi Rho Sigma Fraternity. He received the honorary degree of Doctor of Science from Susquehanna University in 1926. The Doctor is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, a Mason, and belongs to a number of other fraternal bodies. He believes thoroughly in the necessity of organized medicine, and that by the proper activities of our county societies and the observance of medical ethics the practice of the healing art will be made more pleasant and profitable. In reciting these bald facts, the charm and lovableness of his character have not been touched upon. Professor Morgan has a remarkable memory, and it often affords amusement to his friends to hear him give the name, address, medical school year of graduation, office hours, and telephone number of nearly every physician he knows. He is popular with the alumni who studied under his direction, and is endeared to all his students, who have con' ferred upon him the sobriquet of Spicy”. His profound information on general topics is most illuminating, his sense of humor delightful, and his fund of anecdote inexhaustible. To the Members of the Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty'Eight, I say that in horn oring Professor Morgan by dedicating your Year Book to him you not only show your appre' ciation of him as a teacher and a man, but also do yourselves honor. You are to be con' gratulated in having been under his tutelage. S. A. S. Nine
