Secord H. Large
With the passing of Dr. Secord Large, the Academy loses a Fellow whose official activities in the affairs of the society covered a span of years unequaled by any other member. Elected to fellowship in 1904, he took office as Treasurer in 1909. He continued in that office through 1930 when the office of treasurer was combined with that of secretary to make the position of Executive Secretary-Treasurer, first filled by Dr. William P. Wherry. However, Dr. Large was made Comptroller in 1931 and held that office until it was abolished in 1943. During all these years Dr. Large was an active member of the council and of numerous Council committees. It was largely through his energy and leadership that the research activities of the Academy were conceived and encouraged by grants in aid made possible by special allotment of a portion of the annual dues. He was a prime factor in the initiation of special instruction courses, first suggested by a forgotten Fellow speaking from the floor begging for something more than formal presentation of scientific papers and their discussion -- a custom which characterizes so many medical societies even today.
Dr. Large's principal duty and his main contribution to the society had to do with administration. He was a wise councilor, an unselfish advisor on personnel, a skilful co-ordinator, and a warm personal friend of everyone whom he regarded as honest and trustworthy in his outlook on medicine.
Dr. Large was made a Life Fellow in 1935, was elected to the Honorary Society in 1939, and made an Honorary Fellow in 1940. Because of illness, Dr. Large could not attend the last two meetings of the Academy, but he always sent messages of encouragement. Only after some years will we be able to judge the scope of influence exerted by Dr. Large, but those of us who worked with him most and knew him best have long recognized the progressive influence of his guiding hand. Dr. Large died March 9, 1949, in his home in Cleveland, where he lived among the gardens he loved so well.
