Charles Henry Turner, an Appreciation 9 



It is for you who knew Doctor Turner to satisfy your- 

 selves that here indeed was a great man. It is for you 

 to determine in your own hearts if this man possessed 

 the strength of character, the devotion to work, the faith- 

 fulness to ideals, the respect for truth, and the unselfish- 

 ness in sharing that which he possessed. Was he indeed 

 the humble man of science who might well be taken into

You have answered this question yourselves. It will 

 not be given to many of us that men and women and little 

 children shall gather together after we are gone to pay 

 tribute to our memory. It is a privilege to appear before 

 you as a representative of the Academy of Science, an 

 organization of which Doctor Turner was not only a 

 member, but also a councillor. Let each one of you 

 cherish the memory of Doctor Turner who left behind 

 him the priceless heritage of devoted service that those 

 who knew him and worked with him cannot help but have 

 been the better and the stronger through this contact. 



Permit me, in the name of the Academy of Science, to 

 pay our respect not only to Turner the Scientist, but also 

 to Turner the Man. 



A. G. POHLMAN.
