The Thirty-eighth Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, one of the largest in the history of the organization, was held in Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 7–12, 1952. The Scientific Sessions opened at the Netherland-Plaza Hotel, Sunday, Dec. 7, with the ever popular panel discussions: Therapy Information conducted under the chairmanship of Dr. Theodore P. Eberhard, in the afternoon, followed in the evening by a sparkling Film Interpretation Session with Dr. L. Henry Garland as moderator. The first of the general sessions was held Monday morning, with an address of welcome by Dr. Daniel Earley, President of the Cincinnati Academy of Medicine. The Presidential Address by Dr. Joseph C. Bell followed. Thereafter the meetings were for the most part devoted to the subject of Roentgen Diagnosis in the morning, while papers on Therapy were scheduled for the afternoon, though there were some departures from this plan. Special sessions designated as Sessions in Allied Sciences were held each morning, Tuesday through Friday, in the Sheraton-Gibson Hotel. At these meetings the subjects covered were chiefly advances in dosage measurement, isotopes, radiobiology, protection, and the physics of radiation. One of the particularly interesting features of the meeting was the Historical Lecture delivered at the Thursday morning session by Dr. George W. Holmes, on Walter Bradford Cannon, reviewing the work of that eminent scientist in its relation to the roentgen study of the normal and abnormal digestive tract. Another historical note was sounded by Dr. Eugene Pendergrass, who presented a short address commemorating the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Francis Williams, whose pioneering in the field of radiology dates back to 1896, just a few months after Roentgen's original paper on his discovery of x-rays. The Annual Banquet was the occasion of the presentation of the Gold Medal of the Society to Dr. Ross Golden in recognition of his outstanding achievements, particularly in connection with the small intestine. Dr. Bell, who as President of the Society announced the award, called upon Dr. Holmes to make the actual presentation of the medal. It might thus be said that three generations of radiologists participated in this brief ceremony, since Dr. Bell had served his residency under Dr. Golden and Dr. Golden had in turn studied under Dr. Holmes. Another presentation made during the course of the Banquet honored Dr. Bell for his long and faithful service to the Kentucky Radiological Society. It took the form of a silver bowl, suitably inscribed, the gift of members of that society, which was represented on this occasion by Dr. Sydney E. Johnson, of Louisville. Music by a double quartette from the Purdue University Glee Club and dancing concluded the evening.
