Of this long list of worthies, and many more, by whom their places have been filled, not one survives ! WTell may we exclaim, in the language of the Prophet of old, ■ Your fathers, where are they ? and the Prophets, do they live ibrever V ]f the '' fathers and the wise of our profession do not live forever/' their deeds, if good, and great, and benevolent, should live in the hearts and affections of their survivors ; and, in their turn, should be handed down from generation to generation for all time to come. Since the organization of the society, thirty-one different indi- viduals have been elected President—some having served one two, three, and four years.
