I chose, therefore, the name of one, William Whitla, a past President and benefactor of our Society, as the subject of my address. On 11th December, 1933, Sir William Whitla died at his home at Lennoxvale. He was in his eighty-third year and had been confined to his room for some four years following a “stroke.” From being a dominant figure, in the forefront of medical, university, and civic occasions, he had almost disappeared in the last decade of his long life from the contemporary life and social scene of the city. It was indeed almost with a sense of shock that one realised that this extraordinary figure had passed on.

  • Ll ULSTER MEDICAL JOURNAL P
    lL ULSTER MEDICAL JOURNAL p PUBLISHED ON BEHALF OF THE ULSTER MEDICAL SOCIlEY Vol. XXXVI SUMMER 1967 No. 2 THE HISTORY of the ULSTER MEDICAL SOCIETY by R. W. M. STRAIN B.Sc., M.D., Ph.D., F.R.C.P.I. ADDRESS delivered to THE ULSTER MEDICAL SOCIETY 9th FEBRUARY, 1967 Prepared at the request of the Council 73 Introduction THIS is quite literally two papers. When the Council of the Ulster Medical Society invited the writer to bring R. H. Hunter's account of its history up to date, it was to cover a period entirely within his own member- ship of the Society, and he had at his disposal primary sources of information in the Minutes of the Society, of the Council and of the Trustees of the Whitla Medical Institute. As it was 30 years since Richard Hunter delivered his address to the Society, and outside the experience of many of the present Fellows and Members, the author was further asked to review the entire span of the Society's existence. For this latter purpose there was no need to go deeper than the secondary sources of information already available, and reference to these is made in the bibliographical note at the end of this communication. Peace, it is said, is indivisible. So too, it is difficult to separate the history of the Society from that of the community it serves or from the activities and person- alities of its individual members. Selection is both difficult and invidious. On this occasion it is nice to be able to say that if any one disagrees with the landmarks the writer has selected, he can lay the blame on the Council for inviting him to take on this task.
