As a teacher Doctor Kinnicutt was always connected with the College of Physicians and Surgeons, the medical department of Columbia University, and during the many years of this association he occupied many positions. He was physician to the out-patient department of Bellevue Hospital; clinical assistant in the de- partment of diseases of the nervous system ; physician to the out-patient department of the New York Hospital ; attending physician to St. Luke's Hospital for many years, and later con- sulting physician; physician to and trustee of the New York Cancer Hospital ; attending physician to the Presbyterian Hospital for many years, a position he occupied at the time of his death.

He was president of the Alumni Association of the College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1890, '91 and '92. An original member of the Association of American Physicians, he was elected president of the Association for the year 1906-07. He was a member of num- erous medical societies in New York City, the chief of these being the Medical and Surgical Society and the Practitioners' Society, and of both of these he had served as president. Most of his writings were in the nature of very carefully prepared communications to Medical Journals, the results of his large clin- ical experience in private practice and hos- pital work. The following may be mentioned : Edited reports American Neurological Assn., 1875; "Therapeutics of the Internal Secre- tions," a paper for the Association of Amer- ican Physicians, 1897; ''Diseases of the Thy- roid Gland," in American System of Prac- tical Medicine ; "Treatment of Diseases of the Heart by the Nauheim Method," in New York Medical Record; "Pancreatic Lithiasis" in American Journal of the Medical Sciences: "Haemophilia" ; "Therapeutic Value of Cal- cium Salts in Gastric Tetany."

Doctor Kinnicutt was interested in travel and for many years prior to his death always visited some distant land during the summer months. He knew Europe well and had journeyed extensively in England, Norway, Sweden, France, Holland, Germany and Italy. He spent one winter of rest in Egypt, going slowly up the Nile. In addition to his many medical responsi- bilities, Doctor Kinnicutt was for several years before his death an active member of the board of trustees of the Children's Aid So- ciety of New York City. He was also a mem- ber of several of the social clubs of New York City, — the Century, University, Harvard and City. At a meeting of the Practitioners' Society on May 2, 1913, where he had just read an interesting paper on "General Sepsis of Oral Origin," Doctor Kinnicutt died suddenly and peacefully surrounded by his intimate pro- fessional friends. Doctor Kinnicutt's painstaking investigation of medical problems, his clear and careful methods of teaching, his unselfish devotion to his patients, and his capacity for friendship, were the qualities which his students admired and respected, and which endeared him to them, as well as to his patients and his friends.
