THE EDITOR'S PAGE
With the July-September issue of the Quarterly
Dr. Harlow
lindley retired from its editorship. In
his place, for the time-
being, an acting editor of the Society's
publications has been
appointed. The general policies and
format of the Quarterly are
being retained.
For several years the fourth issue of
each volume has been
devoted to articles on Ohio medical
history. These articles, in
the main, have been papers delivered at
meetings of the Ohio
Committee on Medical History and
Archives. According to Dr.
Philip D. Jordan, of the University of
Minnesota, this section of
the Quarterly has attracted
attention throughout the Nation and
has been the inspiration for further
research and writing in this
valuable area of our social history.
This issue continues the
series of articles on medical history of
the State. The present
articles were given as papers at the
annual meeting of the Com-
mittee on Medical History and Archives,
held at the Ohio State
Museum, April 12, 1946.
Two new sections have been added as
experiments. The
first is a list of the published
writings in Ohio history for the
year 1945-46. If it proves of value as a
bibliographical refer-
ence, the Quarterly may add it as
a permanent feature in the last
issue of each year. The second is a
section of news notes on the
activities of local and special
historical societies and Ohio's his-
torians. These notes have been forwarded
to us by officers of
the societies and members of the history
departments of Ohio
universities and colleges. This section
might become a regular
part of each issue, the Quarterly thus
serving as a clearing house
for news and information on the
historical activities within the
State.
