摘要：In the days when our Association was founded, there were precious few professional medical librarians. Indeed, the Association owes its very existence not so much to these librarians as to a little group of interested physicians, such as William Osler, George M. Gould, of Philadelphia, J. L. Rothrock, of St. Paul, E. H. Brigham, of Boston, William Browning, of Brooklyn, and others who quickly joined forces with them and brought the Association safely through its infancy.
