_Twenty-fifth anniversary of the New England Hospital--Drs. Zakrzewska, Sewall and Morton resign as attending physicians and are appointed advisory physicians--Presentation to the Hospital of portrait of Dr. Zakrzewska painted by Miss Ellen E. Hale--Address by Dr. Zakrzewska before the Moral Education Association--Her reply to the question “Should Women Study Medicine?”--Her opinion on “What’s in a Name?” (1887-1890.)_ In 1887, the Hospital celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary, a pleasant feature of the event being the presentation to the Hospital by the graduates and internes of the portrait of Dr. Zakrzewska. This was painted by Miss Ellen E. Hale and was placed in the directors’ parlor. The occasion was also marked by the resignation of all three of the attending physicians, Drs. Zakrzewska, Sewall, and Morton. So many qualified women were becoming available for hospital service and were asking for opportunities, that these three women who had borne the burden and heat of the earlier years felt they could now stand aside and make room for their younger sisters. Their resignations were accepted and they were immediately appointed advisory physicians, thus remaining in a position where their knowledge and skill continued to be available to the Hospital and to their successors, those immediately following them being Dr. Emma L. Call[21] and the Drs. Augusta and Emily Pope.[22] The additional time thus available to Dr. Zakrzewska gave her greater opportunity to respond to the many demands upon her for public speaking and writing. An address delivered before the “Moral Education Association of Massachusetts” about this date is so timely, and so pertinent to the problems which still beset us to-day, that it is here inserted: The question is often asked me by persons not attending these meetings, What is this Moral Education Association? and What does it intend to accomplish? When I reply, I always construct my explanation as I myself comprehend the motives of this Association and the purposes toward which we intend to work. I am naturally an optimist. I fully believe that the world--by which I mean the human beings on this mighty planet--is constantly improving; that we, as a people of to-day, are progressing; and that we have reached a condition of physical, mental and moral improvement such as has never before been attained by the inhabitants of this globe. Yet I feel that we are far from being what we might become if each one of us would carry out fully, all the time, daily and hourly, the precepts of the Golden Rule. In order to attain such a state of perfection, workers are constantly needed who, with deeper insight or stronger convictions or warmer hearts, shall lift the banner high over all our heads, and thus summon followers from all directions. Now I call this Moral Education Association such a banner.
