Academy Resolution.
The Council of the Academy Of
Medicine of Washington, of which DR.
White was president, last night adopt
ed a resolution praising him and ex.
pressing regret over his passing. De.
clar1ng the academy has lost its first
president and the membership deal
and admired friend" the resolution
said, in part:
William Aanson White had thu
true vocation of physician His life
work covered the period of modern
psychiatry. This was no chance re,
lationship, but a real Identification
because he was one of the principa
creators and interpreters of presen,
concepts in this domain of thought.
To this task he brought the we'll
balanced talents of convincing
teacher. lucid writer and eloquent
speaker. His eminent ability and tire.
mendous energy made him an enthu.
siastic leader in every enterprise which
had for its purpose the increase OF
knowledge and the more effective use
OF all measures applied for the relief
Of the mentally i'll, and for the better
ment Of human relationship These
activities were recognized by institu-
tions OF learning which conferred upon
him honorary degrees, and by learned
societies which bestowed upon him
many Offices of high honor.
Helpful to Fellow Beings.
There was no man whom he was
not willing to help, and no tangled
skein OF human relationships was SC
desperate that he could not find some
golden thread to follow by which he
could intervene in helpful manner.
He once compared the field of con-
sclousness to the area of a night
time landscape illuminated and re-
vealed by a searchlight. showing
clearly middle ground with shadowy
borders. In the world his light has
gone out, but the field upon which its
rays fell will not again be dark"
