Tropical Medicine and the Challenge of Global Peace¹

Members of the American Academy of Tropical Medicine, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen:

Introduction. I appreciate deeply the honor of serving as your President this year and am delighted to be with you at this Thirteenth Annual Meeting.

It is always a pleasant, stimulating experience for me to attend these joint meetings of the American Academy and the American Society of Tropical Medicine. These gatherings afford an opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones among the members of both organizations who come back each year from the seven seas and the far corners of the earth to discuss the results of their scientific labors. They also provide an opportunity for us to take stock of the progress made in tropical medicine, to re-define our objectives, and to plan for the continuation of effective leadership in this important branch of medicine and public health.
