Abstract
Dr Alexander Walk, at that time President-Elect, Librarian, Co-Editor, Secretary of the Parliamentary Committee and our representative on the General Nursing Council, was the first Officer I spoke to when I joined the staff of the RMPA in January 1960. It was typical that he should telephone to welcome the newcomer, and, as I have learned over the years, also typical that he should then have been serving the Association in so many and varied ways, and that he should now still be engaged in the service of the College. To this service he has given his skill, wisdom, generosity and wit for half a century, and last month he and the College celebrated the Jubilee of his first official appointment—as Assistant Editor of the Journal of Mental Science—in May 1928—a record never equalled by any other member.
