Excerpt from Transactions of the Indiana State Medical Society: At Its Eighteenth Annual Session, Held at Indianapolis, May 19 and 20, 1868
Gentlemen: In pursuance of the custom established by my worthy predecessors, I appear before you, but crave your indulgence toward the remarks I have to offer.
Nineteen years ago, the physicians of Indianapolis were organized into a compact and efficient body, working under the name of the Indianapolis Medical Society. A proposition was introduced at one of their meetings to initiate steps for the establishment of a State Medical Society. After due consideration the subject was approved, and a call issued through the newspapers to other similar societies, and to the physicians of the State, requesting all those favoring the object to convene or be represented, at Indianapolis on the 6th of June, 1849. Correspondence was also had with prominent members in the profession, urging their approval and co-operation in the project.
At ten o'clock on the day designated a respectable number of gentlemen were gathered at Wesley Chapel, in this city, and organized by calling the late Dr. John H. Sanders, of the city of Indianapolis, to the chair, preparatory to a permanent organization of a convention.
A committee, appointed for that purpose, reported the names of Livingston Dunlop, late of this city, as President, and Dr. N. Johnson, of Cambridge City; Dr. F. Byan, of Anderson; Dr. J. W. Florer, of Montgomery county: and Dr. C. Wallace, of Hendricks county, as Vice Presidents, for permanent officers of the convention. The report was adopted.
