Excerpt from An Index and Alphabetical List of Contributors to the Transactions of the Indiana State Medical Society: From Its Beginning in 1849 to 1907 The men who contributed the earlier articles to these Transactions have fallen asleep, and we will read no new articles from them. They were not ignorant, but observant and thinking men. They recorded facts that daily fell under their observation; and facts are always valuable. Occasionally some of these writers would theorize and draw wrong conclusions, but when they detailed facts and history, their contributions stand as valuable work. Science comes along and pushes theories out of the way, but science never destroyed a fact, nor disturbed correct history. A few things in these Transactions are not worth a reading at the present day, except as a curiosity, but all that has been written concerning biography, history, epidemics, and clinical cases, is well worth a reading in the twentieth century. I will venture a suggestion, namely, that a selec tion of articles from the Transactions, relating to the biography of early Indiana physicians, history of our primitive epidemics, details of pioneer medical practice, clinical cases, etc., might well be selected for publication in a volume as a contribution of medical literature for our State Centennial in 1916. It seems eminently proper that the names of authors, as well as the titles of their papers should be preserved. In accordance with this idea I have prepared, with care, and much labor, an alphabetical list of every name.
