Quinlan, Francis J., A. M., M. D., LL. D., eighth President-General of the American Irish Historical Society, was born in the City of New York, December 24th, 1853. Both his parents were Irish born, coming to these shores when the great exodus took place, about 1845. His early education was obtained at the Parochial School of St. Francis Xavier, under the guidance of the Christian Brothers. Later he attended Manhattan Academy, then at Thirty-second Street, and afterwards the College of St. Francis Xavier. While preparing for the study of medicine he taught school. In 1878 he was graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia College, and soon after accepted an appointment at St. Vincent’s Hospital, which he shortly resigned to enter the United States Indian Service, serving on the frontier four years. In 1883 Doctor Quinlan returned to New York and devoted himself especially to diseases of the ear, nose and throat. Such was the skill he displayed that in a comparatively few years he was among the most prominent of his profession and today is a recognized authority in his specialty. Doctor Quinlan’s prominence in the medical field is attested by the number of important posts he holds. He is Professor of diseases of the nose and throat in the medical department of Fordham University and the New York Polyclinic; attending Laryngologist and Otologist to the New York City and the St. Vincent Hospitals; Consulting Throat and Nose Surgeon of the New York Foundling Hospital, St. Joseph’s Hospital, Yonkers, and Jamaica Hospital, N. Y., and Consulting Ear, Throat and Nose Surgeon of St. Agnes Hospital, White Plains, N. Y. He is President of the New York Celtic Medical Society, Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine, a member of the American Medical and the State Medical Associations, the New York Otological and the Medico Surgical Societies, the Society of Medical Jurisprudence and a former President of the New York County Medical Association. In addition to these organizations of his profession, he is President of the Alumni Sodality of the College of St. Francis Xavier; is a member of the society of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, the Catholic Club of New York, of which he is a former President, the Manhattan, New York Athletic and Lambs’ Clubs and is connected with various religious, racial and charitable organizations of New York City. Doctor Quinlan is a liberal contributor to the periodicals of his department of medicine and has devised many ingenious surgical instruments. Since his election to the office of President-General, the American Irish Historical Society has steadily gained favor with our people, and it is safe to say that the increase of three hundred members since he has been at the head of the Society is due in a great measure to his untiring efforts and a genial disposition which earns for him wherever he goes a host of friends. As an orator Doctor Quinlan is above mediocrity. His delivery is enthusiastic and has the true ring of sincerity, carrying along conviction. Especially was this noticeable in his addresses delivered at Washington and Providence. Doctor Quinlan is an ardent lover of the beautiful in nature, and is an art enthusiast, and although one of the busiest men in the great metropolis, he manages occasionally to find leisure to examine rare pieces of art that have found their way to the art collector’s, and to add to his already large collection of statuary and paintings. So judicious is the taste he displays that he is regarded as a connoisseur, and his artistic opinion has, on various occasions, been solicited. In 1906 Doctor Quinlan was the recipient of the Lætare Medal.
