Abstract
to stimulate interest in such papers for the state and county medical society programs. We should continue the policy of having each new applicant for Fellowship in the College endorsed by the Governor of the state wherein the applicant resides, the Regent of the district, and the Chairman of the Board of Regents before he is accepted, and we should remain unshaken in our high standards. I would suggest that qualified officers of the Army, Navy and Marine Hospital Medical Corps, United States Public Health Service and the Veterans Administration be admitted without initiation fee, and possibly without dues. The American College of Chest Physicians can be a powerful organization in elevating the standards of the phthisiotherapists; also, it can be a medium for achieving a better understanding between the specialists and the general medical profession in the various states. And, since our members represent largely the intellectual select of our group, they should have great influence in their respective states. Now, Fellows of the College, the future of the College rests in your hands. Your trust in our aim, your devotion, and your active cooperation will assure its success.
