At the annual meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, held at Los Angeles, California, on Friday, November 4, 1960, in the presentation of the Joseph Augustin LePrince Award, Mr. Lawrence B. Hall* said:
Mr. President, members, and guests of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene:
The Joseph Augustin LePrince Award has become an established part of the meetings of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, but not all of the present membership had the opportunity of knowing the outstanding engineer, scientist, and great American in whose name this award was established. For those of us who had that opportunity, there will always remain the mental image of the tall, lanky figure, of the quick smile, of the simple and direct approach to complex problems.
