Harry Marshall Ward. 
he became a Fellow of the Linnean Society of London, and was elected to 
the Royal Society in 1 888, receiving a Royal Medal in 1893 ; he served on 
the Council of the Linnean Society 1887-9, an d on that °f Royal 
Society 1895-6. He was elected an Honorary Fellow of Christ’s College, 
Cambridge, in 1897, and received the degree of D.Sc. honoris causa from 
the Victoria University in 1902. He was President of the British 
Mycological Society 1900-2, and had received the honorary fellowship of 
various learned societies. 
And now that he is gone from us, we, his old friends and colleagues, 
would honour his memory by expressing, however inadequately, our deep 
sense of the loss we have sustained. We recall his unswerving loyalty and 
effective co-operation as a fellow-pioneer in this country of what, a quarter 
of a century ago, was derisively termed the ‘New Botany,’ though it 
was but a renascence of the botany of Hales, Knight, Robert Brown, 
and Henfrey : we remember his varied gifts, his geniality, his untiring 
industry, his never-failing enthusiasm : we recognize what he has achieved 
for the study of Mycology in Britain, carrying on the work of Berkeley and 
maintaining his high standard. Above all, we are conscious that the gap 
left in our ranks can never be filled for us. But we draw comfort from the 
confidence that the future of the cause for which both he and we have 
striven is assured : new ranks are forming, recruited largely from among 
Ward’s pupils, ready to take his place, and ours, in the fighting-line. To 
these Ward’s life and work may well serve as an inspiration to enthusiasm 
and an ideal of devotion.
