Presidential Address, Greensboro Academy of Medicine Palmer F. Shelburne, M.D., 1978 Dr. Fisher, Fellows, and guests; At home we have a small book of pictures and quotations from New England entitled "Vermont is Where You Find It." On one page there is a picture of an elderly couple sitting on the porch of a peaceful farmhouse looking out across the fields toward the nearby mountains. The old gentleman says to his wife, and I quote, "Sometimes, Martha, when I think of what you have meant to me over all these years it is almost more than I can bear not to tell you." Being from a warmer climate and of somewhat less reticent nature, I appreciate having this opportunity to say to you how much it has meant to me to be a member of the Greensboro Academy of Medicine and how much I appreciate the honor of being your president for 1978. I am especially grateful that you have selected such excellent officers to serve with me and Bob Sevier, Bob Gay, Bill Stafford, and Howard Wainer and I will work hard together to make this a good year for the Academy. This is the 33rd year of the Greensboro Academy of Medicine. Although there was a Greensboro Medical Society founded in 1940, the Greensboro Academy of Medicine came into being in 1946 with Dr. 0. Norris Smith president. Our constitution and by-laws were adopted at that time, and I would like to read from the constitution the purpose of the Academy. "Article I. The object of the Academy shall be: 1) the cultivation of the science of medicine and its study; 2) the advancement of the standards of medical practice and of the dignity and of the honor of the profession; 3) the promotion of the community health by cooperation with proper authorities and stimulation of public interest; and 4) the establishment of a representative body of Greensboro physicians to investigate and discuss local problems of professional and public concern and in such matters under public discussion to speak for the Greensboro medical profession. Let us think about these functions of the Academy and consider activities in these areas. First, the Academy has been interested from the first in the cultivation of the science of medicine and its study. In 1948 the first annual medical symposium was held. Dr. Herschel Lennon was president and as
