Every student of zoology should read Darwin’s “Origin of 
Species.”’ This work is to the natural sciences what Newton's “ Prin- 
cipia” is to the physical and mathematical sciences. But it is more 
than an epoch making work, throwing a flood of brilhant hght upon 
the dark mysteries of life. Its greatest inspiration to us comes 
because it is the record of one, who, after years of studious labor, 
performed under conditions of extreme distress which only love of 
truth could conquer, came into a realm of thought wherein he saw 
darkly and imperfectly, what we were, what our race had been, and 
what our possibilities. His characteristics were simplicity, honesty, 
and courageous thoroughness; fearlessly following the lead of truth 
far toward the limit of human understanding.
