J Am Med Assoc, Jul 1954; 155: 1255: PROCEEDINGS OF THE SAN FRANCISCO MEETING: ABSTRACT OF PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AT THE ANNUAL MEETING IN SAN FRANCISCO, JUNE 21-25, 1954. ... REPORT OF REFERENCE COMMITTEE ON AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS. No. 43. Resolution on Death of Dr. Edward H. Cary. Dr. Milford O. Rouse, on behalf of the Texas delegation, presented the following memorial resolution, which was adopted unanimously by a rising vote: Preamble. Dr. Edward H. Cary, outstandingly unique citizen, educator, and medical statesman from Texas, was called from the walks of men on Dec. 11, 1953, shortly after the St. Louis meeting. Although he reached the mature age of 81 years, he was to be found in his office daily until a short two weeks before his death. An abundant life of service, such as was his, calls not so much for grief or regret, as for grateful appreciation from his countless friends in the American Medical Association. Dr. Cary was a civic leader in his chosen home city of Dallas and state of Texas. His span of over 50 years of service parallels the tremendous development of the great Southwest, of which he was an appropriate symbol. His fatherly affection and love for his family was typical of his expanded interest in people and in anything that was for the good of his friends and neighbors, and Ed Cary was always approachable to anyone who needed his kindly counsel. All cultural movements of his era were befriended by him. He was an astute businessman, a director in the largest bank in Dallas, and builder of the world's first multistoried medical arts building. The beloved Texan was a perpetual educator. Early in the century he welded together a virile medical school in Dallas, and for years he was dean of Baylor University College of Medicine. He led in the creation of the Southwestern Medical Foundation, dedicated to the building of a great medical center in Dallas, and sponsor of the Southwestern Medical College, now a part of the University of Texas. Hundreds of physicians remember his genuine fatherly interest in them as students. Dr. Cary was acclaimed a master in his chosen specialty of ophthalmology and otolaryngology and a generous and capable contributor to its literature. But his interest in medicine was of a national scope, encompassing service to the American people as well as to his fellow physicians. At an early date he advocated voluntary health insurance programs as the best means not only to combat a compulsory health system but also to render greater health service to the American people. He was president of the Blue Cross-Blue Shield Plans of Texas, which he helped to found. He served successively as president of his county and the Texas Medical Association, of the Southern Medical Association, and then of the American Medical Association in 1932-1933, the only Texan to hold that high responsibility. He served in the House of Delegates of the American Medical Association for years, then as Trustee, and then after his presidency, probably rendered his greatest service in heading the National Physicians' Committee, credited as the most potent force in successfully stemming the tide toward socialized medicine. Ed Cary, the kindly medical statesman from Texas, will long live in the memory of his friends in this House of Delegates; therefore be it -- Resolved, By the House of Delegates of the American Medical Association: (1) That grateful tribute be expressed to the memory of Past President Edward H. Cary; (2) That a copy of these resolutions be made a part of the minutes of this session of the House of Delegates; and (3) That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of Dr. Cary.
