Excerpt from Transactions of the Hom?pathic Medical Society of the State of Pennsylvania: Fifteenth Annual Session, Held at Cresson Springs, Pa;, September 2d and 3d, 1879
The Society was called to order at 10 A. M., by the President, Dr. L. H. Willard, of Allegheny City, who then delivered the Annual Address:
Ladies and Gentlemen: - In accepting the position of your presiding officer, conferred on me at the last meeting of this Society, allow me to express my thanks for this unexpected honor.
It was once the custom of the ancient Greeks, especially those engaged in literature (and may be still for aught I know), to meet, occasionally upon some mountain overlooking their city, and there, away from earthly cares, in the midst of calm and quiet, enhanced by their position on the heights, they would meditate upon the past, consider the theories and views proposed, compare and find their value, adopt the good, and reject the false. Thus, away from the toil and bustle of every-day life, new views and most profound thoughts upon the past, present and future, were brought forth and given to the world, thereby enriching it.
