College of Physicians of Philadelphia. Office of the President.
The Office of the President is first described in the 1787 constitution, giving the president "power to call extraordinary Meetings, whenever important, or unexpected Business shall require, of which he shall be the Judge". According to the 1834 by-laws, he presided at College meetings and signed orders from the treasurer. In 1882, the president was given "general supervisions of the affairs of the College" and was required to present an annual address.
In 1886, President S. Weir Mitchell secured the right to be informed of all committee meetings and attend them if he wished. In 1925, the president was granted ex officio membership in all standing committees and could elect most committee members. As of 1991, the president presides at meetings, appoints committees and defines their duties, serves as an ex officio member of all committees and has "all other duties and powers usually pertaining to the office".
