Mr. Marshall took much interest in hospital construction, and 

 strongly favoured the " circular- ward " system. Whatever may be the 

 merits or demerits of that system and on this point there is much 

 discrepancy of opinion, Marshall had the satisfaction of seeing it 

 introduced, mainly through his advocacy, into several hospitals in 

 this country. 



Few members of the medical profession can show so full a 

 record of public and official work as conld Professor Marshall, and 

 by none has such work been done more thoroughly and more faith- 

 fully than by him. Yet he has been allowed to pass away with 

 services such as these unrecognised and himself unrewarded by any 

 public mark of dignity or of distinction.
