Mr.. Chairman, Honorable Committet

in the vocabulary of the English Ian
guage with emphasis enough, to express
my appreciation for the honors tina
your beautiful and progressive city,
I can say naught but praise for tn
loyal citizens of Minneapolis since m,
arrival. I have had the pleasure o
meeting many of the white citizen
and many of my own race. l cal
gladly say all have made me welcome
and many have expressed their friend
ship in more tangible form by ex
pressing willingness to assist in max
J ing my stay in this city permanent an,
successful. Ladies and gentlemen,
did not move to this great city think
ing that the medical fraternity her
needed more men in their ranks. Fo
in any direction you may go you will
! notice a physicians sign. You will
. find physicians of many nationalitie
!. in this city, with exception to the Afro
American, until very recently. It i
i needless to mention the various ma
5 tionalities who are represented in tn
4 medical profession. You who are con
versant with the city affairs are full
informed on that point. It is also tru
that these gentlemen are not so nar
row as to confine their practice to thei
own nationality; but they treat all VII
Emay call upon them for service. Bu
