摘要：MR. CHAIRMAN, Members of the Medical Library Association, Delegates, Visitors and Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen: It affords me very great pleasure to extend to you on behalf of the Ramsey County Medical Society a very cordial welcome and greeting on this occasion. In looking over your program and noting the list of distinguished speakers, and the wide range of subjects presented, I am thoroughly convinced that it is my pleasure at this moment to address a group of the keenest, brightest, most highly educated and best generally-informed men and women that have ever gathered at a convention. (Tremendous applause.) I am very happy indeed to receive your applause after that remark, because now all fear has been removed from my mind as to the possible existence of any disagreement on that point.
