"Accordingly we propose to invite our colleagues 

 in the Institute, as well as all others who have 

 benefitted from the labours and discoveries of M. 

 Pasteur, either in the domain of scientific research, 

 or in the practice of their art, to contribute to a 

 subscription raised for the purpose of offering our 

 illustrious compatriot a souvenir and a homage 

 on the occasion of this jubilee. 



"To this end the section of medicine and surgery 

 has constituted itself a subscription committee. M. 

 Duclaux has kindly consented to co-operate with 

 us, and Professor Grancher has undertaken the du- 

 ties of secretary of the committee. 



"We beg that our colleagues will send their offer- 

 ings to the office of the secretary of the Institute. 

 "The Members of the Committee: 



"MAREY, CHARCOT, BROWN-SEQUARD, GRANCHER, 

 BOUCHARD, VERNEUIL, GUYON, DUCLAUX." 



The Academy of Sciences hastened to com- 

 ply with the desire of its section of medicine, 

 and at the following meeting Pasteur expressed 

 his thanks to his colleagues.

 of the last meeting, when the President read
