THE HERTER LECTURES 



^^<^ 



In November, 1902, Dr. and Mrs. Christian A. Herter, of 

 New York, gave to the Medical School of The Johns Hop- 

 kins University the sum of $25,000 '^for the formation of a 

 memorial lectureship designed to promote a more intimate 

 knowledge of the researches of foreign investigators in the 

 realm of medical science. ^^ According to the terms of the 

 gift, some eminent worker in Physiology or Pathology is 

 to be asked each year to deliver a lecture at the Johns 

 Hopkins University upon a subject with which he has been 

 identified. 



The selection of the lecturer is made by a committee 

 representing the department of pathology, physiological 

 chemistry, and clinical medicine of The Johns Hopkins 

 University, and if ^'in the judgment of the committee it 

 should ultimately appear desirable to open the proposed 

 lectureship to leaders in medical research in this country 

 there should be no bar in so doing. ^^
