Abstract
THE second International Congress of Radiology, held in Stockholm on July 23–27, proved a pronounced success and one which will long live in the recollections of those who attended it. The Congress was treated by Sweden as of national significance, and the various meetings were held in the Houses of Parliament, which were lent by the Government for the purpose. The municipality of Stockholm offered many facilities and generous hospitality, and had beflagged the main streets and buildings. About 1000 members from 40 different countries were enrolled, the total number with ladies and others interested in the Congress amounting to about 1500. H.R.H. the Crown Prince of Sweden opened the Congress in a wholly admirable speech in English, and stayed to listen to a number of the opening papers. The president, Prof. Gösta Forssell of Stockholm, was presented with a badge and chain of office by the members of the British Institute of Radiology. The chancellor of the Swedish Universities, and Dr. Thurstan Holland, president of the first International Congress, held in London in 1925, also spoke.
