On Wednesday, September 11, the Committee resolved that the following 

 letter of congratulation be addressed to Professor Rudolf Virchow on the occasion 

 of his eightieth birthday : — ^ 



BKITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. 



The Section of Anthropology to Professor Rtjdolp Viechow. 



It seldom falls to the lot of one man to establish a position as you have done as 

 a leader in two great branches of Science. Throughout the world you are generally 

 recognised as the founder of Modern Pathology, whilst in the domain of Anthro- 

 pology your services have been hardly less remarkable. Wherever anthropologists 

 meet together your name is mentioned with the respect and reverence that are due 

 to a great master. 



At the present moment the British Association for the Advancement of Science 

 is holding its annual meeting in Glasgow, and the members of the Anthropological 

 Section, aware that you celebrate your eightieth birthday on October 14, desire to 

 convey to you their affectionate greetings, and to express the hope that you may be 

 spared to add yet further to the indebtedness which they owe to you as a worker in 

 the same field. 



Signed on behalf of the Committee of the Anthropological Section. 



D. J. Cunningham, President. 

 J. L. Myees, Recorder. 



Glasgow, September 11, 1901. 



' The Address was presented by Lord Lister to Professor Virchow at the Celebra- 

 tion which was held in Berlin on October 14.
