Abstract

Several years ago, Dr. Pfahler presented to the Radiological Society of North America, this gavel. Inscribed upon it are the names of the past Presidents of our Society. It is given to the incoming President each year as a token of esteem which Dr. Pfahler has for his fellow-radiologists. It is also a token of authority and leadership. It affords me a great deal of pleasure to present this gavel to a man who not only possesses leadership, but because of his learning and scholarly achievements is recognized—not only in this country, but abroad—as one of America's leading radiologists. Only last Sunday he arrived in New York, after spending three months in Europe. I do not know what decorations he received from foreign countries, or what habits he acquired—I only hope that he does not expect me to present this gavel to him as they would in France—that is, with a kiss! It gives me a great deal of pleasure to present to Dr. John D. Camp, our new President, this gavel.
