Excerpt from The Cincinnati Medical News, Vol. 14: October, 1881; Vol. X, New Series But it is not proposed to leave the work of the Congress to what would seem like chances and disorder, good as the result might be; nor yet to the personal in uences by which we may all be made fitter for work, though these may be very potent. In the stir and controversy of meet ings, such as we shall have, there can not fail to be useful emulation; by the examples that will appear of success in research, many will be moved to more enthusiasm, many to more keen study of the truth; our range of work will be made wider, and we shall gain that greater inter est ih each other's views, and that clearer apprehension of them, which are always attained by personal acquaint ance and by memories of association in pleasure as well as in work. But as it will not be left to chance, so neither will sentiment have to fulfill the chief duties of the Con gress. Following the good example of our predecessors, certain subjects have been selected which will be chie y, though not exclusively, discussed, and the discussions are to be in the sections into which we shall soon divide.
