 FOUNDERS. 
 
 Henry Palt«ney Wright, H.D^ CM. 
 
 By a gift rf ten thousand dollars received by the corporation o^ St 
 Luke's (ieneral Hospital on the loth day of April, 1899, from his widow, 
 Marion V/right, the late Dr. Henry Pulteney Wright is constituted the 
 first Founder of the Hospital. 
 
 He was bom i^ Toronto on the nth day of January, 1851, but wa» 
 educated chiefly at the High School in Quebec, where his boyhood was 
 spent. 
 
 Matriculating in Medicine at McGill University, Montreal, in 1867^ 
 he graduated in 1871, with honors, obtaining the Faculty's prize that year 
 for the best final examination. 
 
 He began practice in Mooretown, Cnt., but in 1872 he removed to 
 Ottawa, where he soon secured a large clientele, and until the day of hi» 
 death was occupied actively with professional work. His large hearted 
 sympathy as well as his high professional attainments and mature judg- 
 ment endeared him to all classes of the community. 
 
 In 187s he was elected to the attending staff of the County of Carle- 
 ton General t rotestant Hospital and remained at active work there till he 
 resigned with the entire staff in December, 1896, being chairman of the 
 Medical Board at the time. 
 
 Being desirous of establishing a modern hospital for the scientific 
 care and trtatment of the sick and injured, he threw his whole influence 
 towards attaining that object and St. Luke's General Hospital founded 
 absolutely on a non-sectarian basis, is the outcome of his work, and in it 
 he had the active support of his colleagues who had resigned with him. 
 
 Dr. Wright was elected chairman of the Medical Board on the organ- 
 iza ion of St. Luke's, a position he held at the time of his death, and by a 
 donation of one thousand dollars to the funds of the institution he be- 
 came a Life Governor. 
 
 Deeply interested in society work of a professional character, he was 
 one of the founders of the Ottawa Medico-Chirurgical Society in j 874, 
 and was its President in 1878 and in 1891. 
 
 He was elected President of the Canada Medical Association in 
 1888, and presided at the meeting in Banff, N.W.T., in 1889. 
 
 The Bathurst and Rideau Medical Association knew him as an active 
 member, and the Ontario Medical Association likewise Being a member 
 of the British Medical Association he attended more than one meeting of 
 that distinguished society in the motherland. 
 
 On the disruption of the Ottawa Medico-Chirurgical Society he be- 
 came actively associated in the formation of the Medical Society of 
 Ottawa, and was elected President in 1896 and 1897. 
 
 Dr. Wright died on the 29th day of October, 1898, soon after retiring 
 having spent the previous day, as was his wont, in arduous professional 
 work. 
 
 Beloved, honored and respected by the entire community, it is a 
 fitting tribute to his memory to find him the fiist Founder of St. Luke's 
 Genera Hospital.
