Excerpt from Reports of the Society for the Study of Disease in Children, Vol. 1: Session of 1900-1901
Towards the end of May, 1900, a circular (of which a copy is appended) was issued to members of the honorary medical and surgical staffs of the Children"s Hospitals in London and the provinces, as well as to a few gentlemen known to be specially interested in the subject of children"s diseases.
"Sir,
"It is proposed to form a Society devoted exclusively to the study of children"s diseases. A preliminary meeting will be held at 5.30 p.m. on Monday, June the 11th, at 20, Hanover Square, London, W.
"If you are not able to attend the meeting, we shall be glad if you will let us know (a) whether you are in favour of the formation of such a Society, and (6) whether you would care to become a member,
"We need scarcely add that we shall be glad to receive any suggestions that may occur to you, and to lay them before the meeting.
The response to the foregoing circular was most encouraging. Offers of help were received from all parts of the country. The preliminary meeting was duly held. Dr. A. Ernest Sansom occupied the chair. It was agreed unanimously to form a Society for the study of children"s diseases, and a Provisional Committee was appointed to give effect to the decision of the meeting.
