A NOTE FROM THE PUBLICATION 



COMMITTEE 



4 GROUP OF FRIENDS, associatcs, and students of Professor Herbert 

 / \ McLean Evans has prepared this vokmie on the occasion of his 

 J. V sixtieth birthday as a tribute to him in a form appropriate to his 

 example and suggestive of his own enthusiastic endeavors. It was intended 

 that the volume should include papers representative of the range of in- 

 terests Avhich have characterized the last forty years of Dr. Evans's scien- 

 tific career, namely Anatomy, Embryology, Physiology of Reproduction, 

 Endocrinology, Nutrition, the History of Medicine, and the History of 

 Science. Of the many scientific friends and colleagues in various parts of 

 the world who responded to our invitation wath promises of manuscripts, 

 some, to our regret, were prevented by the present unsettled condi- 

 tions. To those friends of Professor Evans who were able to join with us 

 in preparing this Sixtieth Birthday greeting, we are deeply grateful. All 

 of us who have come in contact with Dr. Evans's genius share a common 

 joy in suggesting to him through this book something of the appreciation 

 we feel for his leadership, cultural ideals, and scholarly achievements. 



We are especially grateful to George W. Bartelmez and George \V. 

 Corner for advice during the preparation of this volume.
