THE TALENT OF SUCCESS. 



There was opened, a short time ago, 

 with appropriate ceremonies, at Owen's 

 College, Manchester, England, a new 

 laboratory thoroughly equipped with the 

 most modern apparatus for the study of 

 organic chemistry. 



Dedicated to the memory of the late 

 Prof. Schorlemmer, it stands as a fitting 

 monument, a tribute to the man who, 



more than all others in England, helped 

 to bring the study of this branch of 

 chemistry to its present advanced con- 

 dition. 



Although Schorlemmer's fame rests 

 upon the solid foundation of work well 

 done, the naming of the laboratory in 

 his honor, in grateful recognition of the 

 debt which modern chemistry owes him, 

 will have the effect of perpetuating his 

 fame on the line of his chosen life's 

 work. 



A more graceful and fitting testimonial 

 could not well be devised, and in honor- 

 ing the memory of Schorlemmer, Owen's 

 College has bestowed high distinction 

 upon herself. 



Schorlemmer, like every good work- 

 man, delighted in his work; earnest, 

 enthusiastic and persevering, no sacrifice 

 was too great, no labor too arduous; 

 pleasure was sought and found in un- 

 raveling the threads from the wondrous 

 web of the elements that nature in her 

 workshop has woven through long ages. 

 Standing at the loom and using the ele- 

 ments as his threads, he untangled and 

 rearranged and wove them as he willed 

 into other fabrics of still more varied de- 

 sign and marvelous composition. 



If the man who makes two blades of 

 grass grow where one grew before is a 

 benefactor to the human race, how much 

 more credit does he deserve, who makes 

 one blade of grass do the work of two 

 without the extra trouble of raising it ? 

 This is what Schorlemmer did, and his 

 discoveries have opened new industries 

 employing thousands of men, and repre- 

 senting the investment of many millions 

 of dollars. 



Schorlemmer never became rich; like 

 Scheele, his reward, his wage came in the 

 shape of new discoveries, in the deeper in- 

 sight into the mysteries of nature. Like 

 Scheele, too, he worked under great dis- 

 advantages, but this simply added zest
