Dr. John B. Solley, who was a life member of the New York Psychoanalytic Society, died in St. Luke's Hospital, on March 3, 1947, at the age of seventy-two years. He was born at Newark, New Jersey, on March 15, 1875. After receiving his degree in 1898, he specialized in medicine in the Ear, Nose and Throat Department. He became interested in the emotional factors in disease, and in 1922 became a member of the New York Psycho-analytic Society.

Those of us who had the privilege of knowing him during his many years of membership in our Society were warmed by his mild gracious manner and sincere kindness. He was devoted to the Society and, though for many years in poor health, he always attended the meetings.
