NUMBER 54 NEW SERIES 
Professor S. H. Gage, 
ITHACA, 
DCPS 
Through the kindness of Dr. Whelpley we are able to 
present the portrait of Professor Simon Henry Gage, best 
known as the author of “The Microscope and Microscopi- 
cal Methods” which has passed through several editions. 
The latest, that of 1896, recently issued is much larger, 
fuller and better than any of the five preceeding editions. 
Professor Gage 
occupies the chair 
of Microscopy in 
Cornell  Univer- 
sity at Ithaca, N. 
No where he has 
lived for many 
years years. In 
1894, he was elec- 
ted president of 
the American Mi- 
croscopical Socie- 
ty and delivered 
the annual ad- 
dress, in 1895, the 
society coming to 
Ithaca to hold its 
meeting in Cor- 
nell University. 
We clip the fol- 
lowing from one 
ofour Exchanges. 
“Phe Author of Gage’s Microscopical Methods has 
done more than any other worker to introduce careful and 
proper methods in microscopical technology. Never be- 
fore has a writer in any language attempted to give 
the clear and detailed information found in Gage’s work. 
The author is Professor of Microscopy, Histology and 
Embryology in Cornell University and the New York 
State Veterinary College. The book is now in the sixth 
edition.’’—Meyer Brothers Druggist.
