 institutions. For Anatomy we fortunately secured 

 Arthur W. Meyer, a former student of Mall at the 

 Hopkins, then at Northwestern University. Among 

 others thus selected was Dr. Hans Zinsser from Co-

 professor of Bacteriology. Zinsser is one of the most 

 brilliant teachers we ever had, and a universal favor-

 and confidence in every quarter and soon had all the 

 students it could properly accommodate, so that 

 recently it has been found necessary to limit attend- 

 ance in medicine as in other departments of the Uni- 

 versity. In 191 2, when the handsome and commo- Dedication

 address of dedication, a layman's review of the of Medi- 

 progress of medical science during the thirty-seven 

 years since I had myself received a degree in medi- 

 cine.^
