    THE SUafthtg p atljaliT^kal Has reached its Jubilee, a fitting occasion for retrospect and prospect. Its “life-bistory” has been one of continued growth and increasing vitality, and the auguries point to longevity. Who will question the value of associations for the advancement of the art and science of medicine? Who can estimate the benefits (intellectual and social) conferred on the members of a Pathological Society during 50 years of uninterrupted activity? Even if no startling results in the form of epoch- making discoveries are apparent, our history affords ample proof that a high ideal of life and work has been encouraged, and that the welfare of the public as of the profession has been promoted. “Functa est Societas vice cotis, acutum reddere quse ferrum valet.”
