DR. WILLIAM GERRY MORGAN
AUGUST 1930

President of the American Medical Association; physician, and authority upon diseases of the digestive tract, the prestige of whose knowledge and skill extends far beyond national boundaries. Respected as a teacher and painstaking as an editor of professional works, your reputation as a specialist has not been gained at expense of outside contacts or through a narrowness of vision which ignored the world outside your field. Building in later achievement upon the broad base of your earlier experience in general practice as a country doctor, wherein intelligence, judgment, and capacity for quick decision are indispensable, you have retained these qualities in cosmopolitan environment while international repute has become yours. Of you it has been said on high authority that notwithstanding eminence you remain untouched by any taint of medical aristocracy, that you are generous in friendship, and that you move among your associates with the helpful attitude of the typical bedside doctor. These are qualities which the College delights to honor in one of her sons and I confer upon you the honorary degree of Doctor of Science.
