被邀请在今年发表第20届约瑟夫·麦克道尔马修斯演讲是一项荣誉，为此我深深感谢关博士和理事会。起初，鉴于我与全博士的长期交往，我感觉到了一丝裙带关系。在我回顾了在我之前担任这一职务的人的名单之后，这种感觉更加强烈。他们是一个医生画廊，不仅因为他们对这个社会的专业贡献和它所代表的专业，而且还因为他们不同的个人品质而与众不同。阅读他们的演讲，让人担心如何达到他们设定的标准。《马修斯演说》的主题范围很广。我推荐他们的集体审查，任何人有兴趣在这个专业的整体看法。他们所有人的目的是提供一个纪念马修斯博士，在建立这个专业和在这个社会的起源移动的力量。我相信，从更广泛的意义上说，这些讲座应该被视为对我们许多专业前辈的认可，以及他们为我们所做的一切。在向马修斯致敬的同时，我们也希望向他们荣誉致敬。
To HAVE BEEN ASKED tO deliver this 20th Joseph McDowell Mathews Oration this year is an honor for which I am deeply appreciative to Dr. Quan and the Council. Initially, in view of my long association with Dr. Quan, I sensed a hint of nepotism. This feeling was reinforced after I had reviewed the list of those who have preceded me in this role. They are a gallery of physicians distinguished not only by their professional contributions to this Society and the specialty it represents, but also in their varied personal qualities. Reading their presentations raised a disquieting concern as how to measure up to the standards they set. The Mathews Orations have had a broad spectrum of topics. I commend their collective review to anyone interested in an overall view of this specialty. The intent of all of them has been to provide a memorial to Dr. Mathews, the moving force in the establishment of this specialty and in the genesis of this Society. I believe that in a broader sense these lectures should be taken as recognition of a great many of our professional forebears and of what they have done to bring us where we are. In honoring Mathews we also wish to honor them.
