I    January,  1904. 
The  prognostications  made  by  Dr.  Morgan,  in  his  inaugural  ad- 
dress, have  long  since  been  fully  realized.  The  school  that  he 
founded  has  grown  in  strength  and  usefulness  and  its  graduates, 
among  them  men  of  more  than  ordinary  abilities,  have  done  it  and 
their  profession  honor.  Other  useful  institutions  have  been  estab- 
lished, and  together  they  have  striven  to  spread  the  light  of  knowl- 
edge to  all  portions  of  the  country. 
Realizing  the  success  that  has  ultimately  attended  his  efforts  it  is 
indeed  more  than  passing  strange  that  the  one  who  contributed  so 
much  to  the  introduction  and  advancement  of  the  higher  ideals  in 
medical  practice,  should  never  have  received  the  honors  that  are 
justly  due  him.  The  school  he  founded  and  its  alumni  have  never 
made  an  adequate  recognition  ot  his  efforts  in  their  behalf,  while 
pharmacists  have  never  given  him  even  a  moiety  of  the  recognition 
due  him,  for  his  independence  and  perseverance,  in  introducing  the 
regular  mode  of  practicing  physic  into  America,  despite  the  criticism 
and  opposition  of  his  contemporaries.
