The presen- tation was made by Professor W. T. Councilman, who said in part: “On this occasion, twenty-five years after your entrance into the medical pro- fession, we your students present to you this volume. It contains a number of articles written by us, each of which contributes to the advancement of medi- cal knowledge. We have chosen this method to tell you of our esteem and affection, for we feel that it is the highest and most enduring tribute we could lay before you. For, unlike any tribute wrought in stone or metal, it has the quality of increase. The results of the investigations here set forth will stimulate further investigations and lead to still greater increase of knowledge. It is the work of men you have taught, who have come under your influence and who have received from you the inspira- tion which has enabled them, often amid great difficulties, to continue in the path along which you first led them. It is one thing to tell a man what is the right way; it is better still to show him; but it is quite another thing to take him by the hand and lead him along it. This you have done, and it is this which has made you the great teacher which you are, for a teacher to be great must be a leader among men.” : ‘75—Edwin A. Hill of the U. S.
