The Scandinavian Medical Society held its annual meeting in the quarters of the Swedish Club on Thursday, October 12.

The retiring president, Doctor Klovstad, spoke of the significance of this society to Scandinavians and its influence and status in medical circles. The organization has created a strong feeling of fellowship and co-operation between the Scandinavians and Americans and has made valuable contributions in the line of medical and surgical research.

Doctor Klovstad urged the society to affiliate with the medical societies of Norway, Sweden and Denmark, pointing out mutual advantages of such co-operation, and the resultant benefits to mankind. Doctor William J. Anderson was elected president, Doctor O. H. Berg, vice president, and Doctor Halvor O. Hansen, secretary for the coming year.

Following the election, the meeting was addressed by Doctor B. Meyer, who 2gave a humorous talk on the early days of the society; all of the anecdotes struck a responsive chord and jollity reigned supreme. The gathering then assembled in the dining room where they finished the pleasant and profitable evening with an anniversary dinner.
