As showing his abiding devotion to the cause of science and the public 

 good, the following paragraph may be quoted from his will : 



"Pursuant to an intention fixed in early man hood on learning that a certain 

 State provided by law that medical graduates should have had dissecting-room 

 experience, and yet made no provision for the requisite subjects; and con-

 custom of devoting my efforts and myself to the public good. I give and be- 

 queath my body for purposes of dissection to any medical college selected by 

 my executor.*'
