LUDWIG AND MODERN PHYSIOLOGY. o, 



greatest teachers of Science the world has seen, we 

 have in mind his relation to the men who ranged them- 

 selves under his leadership in the building up of the Science 

 of Physiology, without reference to his function as an 

 ordinary academical teacher. 



Of this relation we can best judge by the careful perusal 

 of the numerous biographical memoirs which have appeared 

 since his death, more particularly those of Professor His 1 

 (Leipzig), of Professor Kronecker 2 (Bern), who was for 

 many years his coadjutor in the Institute, of Professor v. 

 Fick 3 (Wlirzburg), of Professor v. Kries * (Freiburg), of 

 Professor Mosso 5 (Turin), of Professor Fano 6 (Florence), 

 of Professor Tigerstedt 7 (Upsala), of Professor Stirling s 

 in England. With the exception of Fick, whose relations with 

 Ludwig were of an earlier date, and of his colleague in the 

 Chair of Anatomy, all of these distinguished teachers were 

 at one time workers in the Leipzig Institute. All testify 

 their love and veneration for the master, and each contributes 

 some striking touches to the picture of his character. 



All Ludwig's investigations were carried out with his 

 scholars. He possessed a wonderful faculty of setting each 

 man to work at a problem suited to his talent and previous 

 training, and this he carried into effect by associating him 

 with himself in some research which he had either in 

 progress or in view. During the early years of the Leip- 

 zig period, all the work done under his direction was 

 published in the well-known volumes of the Arbeiten, and
