    [PROOF. PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS ' AT THE OPENING OF THE NINETY-THIRD SESSION OF THE GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL May 28, 1911. Gentlemen, In assembling for our Ninety-third Session, we miss from their accustomed places three members of the Council who were with us last year. Dr Leonabd McManus, one of the three representatives elected in 1906 by the practitioners resident in England and Wales, has been removed by untimely death in the midst of his career of active usefulness. He possessed in a high degree tho confidence of his fellow-citizens and of his profes- sional brethren in London, and the public tributes that have been paid to his memory testify to the faithfulness with which he fulfilled the trusts he undertook. His colleagues in the Council, who had many opportunities of appreciating his loyal nature and his practical good sense, will share in the wide- spread regret for his loss, and will approve the expression of sympathy with his bereaved family which I ventured to offer in their name. Sir Thomas Myles, appointed in 1905 by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, has on account of other pressing claims resigned his place on the Council. By his service on several important Committees, and by his ready and opportune con- tributions to our debates, he maintained the tradition of efficiency and geniality which we have come to associate with Members from his College and country. >USGo
