 Salutem. Gratum admodum nobis, viri doctissimi, fecistis quod nos ad 

 celebrandum vobiseum natalem Societatis vestrae ducentesimum quinqua-

 M.D., LL.D., Physiologiae Professorem ac Facultatis Medicinae Decanum, 

 qui feriis vestris intersit, quique ut semper floreat Societas vestra, teneatque 

 semper praecipuum ilium inter tales toto orbe terrarum societates locum 

 quern tot per annos fere omnium consensu obtinuit, nostro nomine optet 

 et precetur.
