FOREWORD. 



The papers included in this volume have been contributed as a 

 memorial by present and former members of the staff of the late 

 Professor Franklin Paine Mall, in recognition of his inspiring leader- 

 ship and in response to the strong feeling of affection with which they 

 had come to regard him. A volume of this nature had been under 

 consideration, to commemorate the approaching twenty-fifth anni- 

 versary of his occupancy of the chair of anatomy in the Johns Hopkins 

 University. His untimely death, however, just at the close of a 

 quarter century of remarkable productivity, interfered with the 

 project as originally planned and left it possible to offer only a be- 

 lated tribute in the form of the present volume.
